Abisola Kola-Daisi’s love for Kizz Daniel’s hit song ‘Buga’ offered a glimpse into the soundtrack of her life in 2022. The Nigerian entrepreneur shared her enthusiasm for the Afrobeats hit, describing it as her favourite song and personal anthem.Beyond the music, Abisola’s look featured an evil-eye chain and a matching hand accessory that added an interesting detail to her appearance.
The evil-eye motif is a longstanding symbol in jewellery and fashion, traditionally associated with protection against envy and negative energy.
“This has to be my fave song ever #anthem. Thank you,” Abisola wrote, encouraging followers to guess the track.
The answer was ‘Buga (Lo Lo Lo)’ by Kizz Daniel featuring Tekno, one of the biggest Afrobeats releases of 2022. Released in May that year, the song became a major streaming and dance sensation, spreading across social media and reaching listeners well beyond Nigeria.
Why Kizz Daniel’s ‘Buga’ Became a 2022 Afrobeats Hit
‘Buga’ brought together Kizz Daniel’s melodic delivery and Tekno’s distinctive vocals over an upbeat production. Its celebratory message, memorable hook and dance-friendly rhythm helped make it a popular choice for parties, personal celebrations and social-media videos.
The song also performed strongly on the charts. It reached No. 1 on the global Shazam chart in May 2022 and peaked at No. 2 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart, demonstrating its reach beyond the Nigerian music market.
For many listeners, ‘Buga’ became more than a song to dance to. Its upbeat energy made it a soundtrack for celebrations, confidence and enjoying the rewards of hard work.
Abisola’s post captured the personal side of music fandom. Despite her profile in Nigeria’s luxury and social circles, her enthusiasm for the song reflected a familiar experience: finding a track that immediately becomes part of your everyday soundtrack.
Her message was brief, but calling ‘Buga’ her favourite song showed just how strongly the record resonated with her at the time.
Abisola Kola-Daisi, founder of Florence H Luxury, was known for her interest in fashion, luxury retail and Lagos social life. She died in March 2025 at the age of 42, making her archived social-media posts a record of moments from her life and interests.
Kizz Daniel and Tekno’s collaboration remains a notable release in the Afrobeats catalogue of the early 2020s. Its success demonstrated how a catchy song, an accessible dance rhythm and social-media participation can help a Nigerian record reach an international audience.
Abisola’s 2022 post is a small but memorable example of how the song became part of people’s personal celebrations and everyday lives.
Do you still listen to Kizz Daniel and Tekno’s ‘Buga’, or does another Afrobeats hit from 2022 hold that place for you?
