The Creator of the app has this to say in his description of the app:
The Application has a very simple theme and it provides lyrics of Nigerian Songs in a way that's easily accessible by the users. There are websites that provide lyrics of Nigerian songs, but most of them (if not all) are not mobile friendly. Furthermore, Naija Lyrics Wiki's unique selling points include:
It is an app that resides on users' phones
Users can view the lyrics and play the songs at the same time
Users can download the lyrics so that you can view it even if you are offline.
That's not all though, with the application, you can
Download the songs if it is freely available
Users can share the lyrics you are viewing with your friends via
o Facebook
o Twitter
o Chat Messengers
o Skype
o Email. Etc
Users can also use the app to view and download latest videos
There's an entertainment news section, where the app aggregate s news from popular websites and blogs.
In fact the application is a total entertainment package.
Because it is a wiki, the app has features for artists and they don't have to send the lyrics to the admin of the site, they can simply register and upload their lyrics themselves. Fans can also upload lyrics and just like a normal wiki, registered users can upload, edit and update the lyrics.
The application has seen tremendous adoption over the past few months since it's release.. Segun Akintayo said that the growth and adoption is largely due to how App Stores makes discovery of applications on the stores easy, and also largely due to the fact that an app for viewing lyrics, especially Nigerian lyrics is long overdue. There's a widespread adoption for Nigerian music, not only in Africa but all around the world, but most of these Non-Nigerian Audience can't hear what the artists say more than half of the time and for these people, a lyrics app is very important. No wonder the first few weeks, there were more downloads from the UK, South Africa and Middle East than from Nigeria. Currently, Naija Lyrics Wiki has been downloaded from over one hundred locations globally.
Nigerian artists have also shown widespread adoption for the application; so many of them believe it is another way to promote their songs in and out of Nigeria. We spoke with Mr. Emma Williams and he has this to say: "This application's release is well timed. At this time when so many other African countries and Nigerians in diaspora are showing great interests in Nigerian Music, an app that shows lyrics is a must." Naija Lyrics Wiki has some artists committed to providing their lyrics on the app; two popular names on the app are the veteran rap artist, Mode 9 and the in-demand prolific Vector Tha Viper. Other artists are Celisay, Adol, F.B.I, Ijeoma,Blaq Bones and E-zone
The application is freely downloadable from the Blackberry app world (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/113630/?lang=en), from Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trinisoftinc.nlw) and from GetJar (http://www.getjar.com/naijalyricswiki). It has been recently developed to work on tablet devices. Additional features such as discussions chat room or comment boxes on Naija music videos and many other features will be added with time. In stating closing remarks, Mr. Akintayo concludes by envisaging-based on informed strategies, that Naija Lyrics Wiki will be the most definitive place to get Nigerian Music, Lyrics and social/entertainment News. According to him, the app is free and now open to lovers of Nigerian music and entertainment industry to download and put to massive use.
