Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has paid tribute to veteran highlife musician Fatai Rolling Dollar who died on Wednesday.
Fatai was best known for his song, They Cannot Match Us, which criticised younger generations.
The exact cause of Fatai's death, or his age, is not known.
In highlife's golden era in the 1950s and 1960s, Fatai, whose real name was Fatai Olagunju, was a nationally celebrated performer.
He said "a good musician should know how to play any instrument", showing his irritation with artists he accused of sometimes being "lazy" and simply seeking "easy money", AFP reports.
