  1. Now that's more like it! Loved the concept, but in some way the dancing man…More dancing would've made it y'know.. awesome if you get what I mean. But it's still alright. (Y)

    That guy (Hakeem) in the beginning was hilarious. "Davido, Is that you bludddd?!" Lool

  2. Ooh ma Gurd, Moe Musa don vex finally nw… his Productions has gone wild this days.. Clarence Peter you got a competitor now… Video so point, infact the best video 2013

  3. It's better than the original, but no WOW factor
    Can we please stop saying "best video of the year" because I've seen far better and so have you.
    Perhaps they could have made an extended version of the song to showcase the dance moves in detail especially for a song that is already a massive hit.

  4. I'm just mad that I couldn't watch the leaked (original) video prior to it being taken down so as to make an objective analysis on this one. That's not to say it's impressive though. I can see why some may think of this as a Party Rock Anthem ripoff.By the way, did anyone win the Skelewu dance competition, if yes, where is the person in this vid? Abi was that just an agenda to move the track's popularity further?

  5. SORRY BUT NO DIFFERENCE BROOOOOO!!!! YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS….. THERE MORE CREATIVE THINGS BETTER THAN THIS THAN TRAVELING OUT SIDE TO SHOOT THE VIDEO…….

  6. Don't know even the video that is better between the official and the unofficial video. The Skelewu Instructional Dance is still the BEST so far.

  7. It's better but def not the best video dis year….Sesan own self no too bad like dat. Above all nice 1 davido!!

  8. Clean but the story line should have continued, the beginning got my attention and then we got lost with all these white people inside the video. Nevertheless big songs always attract alot of haters and unnecessary comments. Just like MI's ONE naira, and some other classics, the song should have been left alone without video, you cant please the world Davido, especially NIGERIANS. ko sogbon toleda, kosiwa tolewu, kosana to lemo to lefi taiye lorun oooo… Davido keep doing your good music!!!!

  9. u should have given this video to clarence peters to shoot No director is as creative as he is… Moe musa picture quality very nice the british dude put in some juice aswell but in the end it was just ok not even as good as Wizkids Caro video..CREATIVITY THATS WHERE CLARENCE PETERS SHINES CAPITAL NUMBER 1

  10. u for give clarence this job!!!! moe musa ok sha but clarence wud have killed this video for u davidou be learner??

  11. Davido you know try at all for this video… is this is what skelewu deserve as you mean,, inyanye kill kukere with etighi.. sarkodie with with azonto dance, you came in with your own style, and you mess the video with freestyle move,, oh boy you no try oo

  12. call it whatever you want.
    Trash, the movie.
    Trash, official video
    Trash! Part 2

    Awesome song, awesome single. But the videos.the first one trash, the second trash

    Niggas cant even direct videos anymore.. sigh. Might as well go to film school. I'll pay for five NJO commenters to come with me. Apparently the industry needs us.

  13. On a serious note guys, I prefer the so-called leaked version to this.. too much copy copy on this.. This vid don make me dey look forward to Dammy Krane's vid..

  14. Psquare – Alingo & Personally
    Seyi Shay – Irawo
    Dbanj – Don't tell me nonsense
    Kcee – Limpopo
    Pucado f/ Kamar – Imposter
    Timaya – Ukwu
    Starboy Ft L.A.X & WIzkid – Caro

  15. what the heck is this? if this guy cant sit and think of how to be creative, then its better a video was never produced for this dog. the song was popular cos of a dance and beat innovation, why put put a group of white guys and jamaicans who rarely understands waht the song is even about. this is crap mehn!!!!!..davido should jst get rid of the whole HKN wateva, cos they aint giving him the best advice.

  16. WHERE WAS THE SKELEWU DANCE DISPLAYED???!!!

    If davido was trying to start a viral dance step, he should have showcased the moved clearly….instead all i saw was people jumping up and down….
    And what was the point of that other fellow in the song…..
    All i can say, 6/10

  17. #IMO this one is just clearer and sharper, the other one at least made me smile at the end…that one even portrayed the "Skelewu Fever" better as that guy having a meal in the end was twitching uncontrollably to the skelewu vibe. Davido, God bless ur hustle. Stay focused and humble.

  18. clean video sha..but in my opinion the first one was better…the dance was visible in the 1st…and what's up with the jamaicans and whitey na? guy u fall our hand o..spread the gospel,na naija dance no be jamo or jand tin na

  19. with all the money davido is making from music he can not spend a few hours a day to perfect one decent dance step for a dance track of his? This boy has more money than sense.
    Even Sesan will be laughing at this crap. Look at Psquared. they spent hours honing their talent despite being natural dancers. See the personal video. Pure craftmanship. This one just dey display mediocrity say na video of the year.
    Thunder go fire all of una.

  20. I don't necessarily think this is so much better than the unofficial video. Except for the clearer picture (which could be pardoned the unofficial video since it wasn't a finished product), this doesn't really edge out the Sesan's video.

  21. For those looking for the dance, you may see it in the next version (I mean Dammy Krane's version). The director is a big thief. Even if you want to copy a concept, you don't have to make it too pronounced. The differences between this video and that of LMFAO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ6zr6kCPj8 are the song and the artist every other thing looks the same. MM be creative! What was MM thinking?

  22. The First Nigerian single to have 2 different videos from different producers….. Skelewu in Series (Season 1 and 2)

    Anyways, the leaked video showed more of the dance moves than the new one, the only setback of the previous was the poor quality of the video. Nice work on this one but the previous showed more originality. Same Concept as LMFAO party rock anthem video.
    I don't see what was so bad about Sesan's own after seeing this one.

  23. video of the year?? if u call this video of the year then what is timaya's "ukwu" video gonna be?? video of the month?? ukwu video was 10x better than this. #nodisrespect to davido

  24. Serious??? What happened to the dancing? If your releasing this on MTV Base UK don't expect much. Dbanj suppose give Davido tutorial, Oliver twist banged so hard it had white folks in Ireland dancing.

  25. Sorry my fans, this video is not complete yet…. I,m currently in SA shooting the real video with Clarence Peters. Moe brough people that don't really know the dance and we Dammy Krane refused to take his call when we needed help with the dance move. Now we have people who can dance and Dammy Krane on set with the best director so the next video will be amazing. Just watch out for me, forget about wasting money if you care about that cos as it is, I be Omo Baba Olowo

  26. Thank the Lord Dammy! Sabi Dance just might have a chance now. How? Davido and Moe failed to see and fix what everyone's real gripe with Sesan's video is (barring its technical and story telling deficiencies) – the dancing! It's funny cause Sesan's even has more dancing than Moe's, so that's a one up for him. Davido, you're singing about this new dance that's supposedly working everyone into a frenzy, yet you keep failing to show us. Do you know why? It's because Dammy Krane the originator who you tried to steal the dance from wasn't there to show you and your dancers how its really done. Nto'oooooo 😛

  27. Davido & Moe just put Skelewu to eternal rest…RIP Skelewu>>>>

    Nothing will make me watch this video twice, both unofficial and official are crap

  28. The most interesting part of the video is that dude with the british accent mehn. Badt man clat…Hilarious.

  29. cant wait for the third video to be out…this time around the video will be directed by Clarence Peters in South Africa….#waiting patiently #naijaviddy.blogspot.com

  30. As a Music video director point of view, the first version is much much better & saleable, this one is cool but it lacks scenes compare to the first version. Analysis Davido just want another video cos after watching this one, he will now realise the power effects of the first version. God bless ya hustle +++

  31. When list of bankable artistes can out and his name was omitted people are screaming how come. Now we can see how confused he was,even the greatest musicians Nigerians ever produced never made video twice because of criticism. For you to excel in life not all your work will be appreciated by your so called fans.Be real davido.Just too fake for my liking

    • errrrm… u didnt make any sense sir. imagine a bank changing a policy of its bcos customers hated it. does that make the bank fake? an artist remaking a video because he (or his fans) wasnt satisfied with the initial outcome is completely professional and even shows how ambitious the artist is. the guy has game and balls. respect that

    • Ode, he shoot video twice, close to 4-5m, him no rich? him move crew go london on a first class him no rich? U don mad abi? u go Arizona with economy and 6months visa… U poor die…lol

  32. Omo,I fear Nigerians o! What's wrong with this video? The only thing is davido looks more happy in the first version and i miss the dance especially that fat n!gga spesh,finish…Nice one jere davido…gbayi

  33. Those backup dancers are the same in Iyanya's le lwa ukwu video shoot…especially the black girl with blond hair that cannot close her mouth

  34. like seriously? he wakes up on a hospital bed wif a jacket n a stock on, wif his hoody on too. i was hoping to see patience n med staff dancing skelawu but only for a guy in the street reminding us that we are watching Davido, we kno say na Davido n not David in the bible. i only wan hear say u revoke dis video too.

  35. When a song is a hit song the expectation of the video is never met its always difficult but then when the video is out its always first criticized and later accepted by those who criticized it well its a nice video if you have been following nigerian music you should give kudos to davido forget the controversies and dont judge by sentiments please, Sesan's video was nice so is moe musa video too but in my own opinion i prefer moe musa copy it has much scene and for those talking about new dance are you waiting to watch much dance in this video again?, after the dance tutorial video??, this is the first nigerian music to have 3 videos without remix hmm OBO money is speaking nice video bro

  36. Davido, i know say u get alot haters, their future has eyes and so dead, as for me I will never hate hard work and whom God has blessed, Dont be surprised, all those haters are omo ibo.. lol

  37. What did I just watch?
    Hurried, trying to do too much in one song
    Who makes a movie-song in 3:55 minutes?
    Well, Clarence….over to you…

  38. DISAPPOINTED..Mr Davido next time when you have issues with any video take ur time and see how u can change some scene (talk to the director and ask him to re-shoot some scene or re-edit)..you think everything is about money…this is a great lesson for you…Skelewu o skelewu ni

  39. Sesan's video was better by FAR..Sesan's leaked version was on low resolution ,meaning the original of Sesan's video was on High Resolution,HD but Davido refused to release it.
    Mo Musa's vid is a bloody shame,and when Nigerian artistes feel that including whites and Mullatos in their video will add to it's acceptability,it's even sadder.
    Oleku video was not the best but Nigerians accepted it. Iyanya's Kukere was mad poor quality but it went viral. D'banj's Oliver twist video was criticized in its first few days,but the world eventually accepted it.
    The only way to avoid this type of mess in future is for Nigerian artistes to have the confidence to release music videos days or weeks after releasing the audio single. It worked for Psquare's-Personally. A situation where a hit song is allowed to reign for months (or years) before a video is made leads to this type of mess.

  40. Lol.. Alkayida dance(GH) in skelewu official video(2:45-2:50). Davido. na wa ooo. dem no even sabi dance am well self.

  41. i'm a huge Davido fan, but i cant stress the fact that i am disappointed with the two videos. It lcks concept TBH, after watching timaya's UKWU, it just set a standard in the nigerian music video industry. I was expecting some SKELEWU FLU type of scene in which the only Doctor that could cure it is MRS GOBE. Let's step up our game please!!! …Waiting for Jaiye Jaiye 🙂

  42. The first Video is better than the second version the first version really show dancers with really skelewu new dance and instresting my advice for davido and is teams he surpose to make both video officially and make it African version and international version some folks will like that first one some will like second one, soo fans will have video choice that, it,s. for me I love the first video direct by sesan nice job with those sexy girls post today 10/22/2013 from japan tokyo

  43. ok nah , money dey to traway , i thought the ist vid no reach , but with this second low creative vid , i humbly accept the ist vid with faith

  44. I've obviously watched both videos and this is my opinion. I'm not a Davido fan per se but I do have to give him credit. I do know why he opted to shoot a second music video. He wanted something grander and you know what? This whole thing is going to work towards his advantage. At first I thought that this was a publicity stunt and thought it was quite brilliant actually. But I can't even give Davido that credit. I sincerely believe that he honestly didn't think the first video was up to par for what he envisioned for the song. He probably liked it at first but succumbed to some whispers which advised him that he should have opted for a "better" music video director. At the end of the day having two distinct music videos like this, for a massive hit, works to his advantage. It seems like Nigerians loved the first video but the second video has a more international mainstream appeal. I personally like the second video. I loved the concept. It basically depicts "Skelewu" as a widespread virus that has caused this outburst of crazy behavior and dance. Sort of reminds me of Michael Jackson's thriller video.

  45. NO ONE IS HATING DAVIDO HIS SONG SKELEWU IS A JAM OF LIFE WE ALL LOVE IT, BUT THESE NU VIDEO BY MOE ABEGGY` VIDEO CONCEPT -0 SORRY

  46. 2me these video is one of the best have seen these year… I don't know for y'all #Mr Moe Musa you rilly killed it…….. Nice one davido

  47. There is nothing wrong in re-shooting a video. However, the concept has to show some originality and innovation. I'm on the fence with the videos, they are okay, including the first one. My issue is that even though I agree the first video could've been better, Davido and his camp really need to get a better professional PR Person to handle their announcements, press releases and even social media write-ups. He certainly burnt bridges with his little tweets regarding the video, hence Sesans subsequent reply. All our artistes could do better in the area of PR, branding and Image quite honestly.

  48. The concept of this video was stolen from Party Rock Anthem ft. Lauren Bennett, GoonRock –
    yall aint international nor exposed, so yall didnt notice

    • Did you read the thread b4 commenting? This has been stated several times. Infact it was confirmed on the BTS NJO link days b4 this video was released. Take time to get your facts straight b4 commenting.

  49. No sentiments..but i have played this new video (supposedly the official isshh) over and over and i ask myself…what was the theme? The so-called leak was far better…it had a better story line, clarity and every other quality of a good video. Like Osstek mentioned..i think he should as well refute this cos its 100% crap. So not like a Moe Musa Production…WTF

  50. DAVIDO TO BE HONEST WITH YOU THE FRIST VERSION OF SELEWU VIDEO IS MORE BETTER THEN THIS NEW ONE LUCK FOR ME I HAVE THE ORIGINAL COPY ON MY PHONE AND WILL UPLOAD IT BACK TO YOUTUBE.

  51. You got it all right bro, you expressed my mind, davido could have been patient enough for his fans to accept the first video by SESAN. The second one's difference is cuz its foreign n we don't all dig that mhen!

  52. For me i prefer the skelewu video tat he was on the car…. Its like FUSE OD Azonto song you Have to show people the new dance which is what they are interested in not all this scenes ABEG… i will o with the tutorial video to the dance…

  53. Hi Davido my guy! See, ur real fans will not abuse d 2 videos but 2 advice u cos you're big enough 2 know wat is gud 4 ur self. My own is differ 4rm odas… d question is; wat cause d rejection of Sessan's video cos 2 me d video is kul & clean???

  54. Seriously most of the comments made here I observed are not really sensible. The first video story line: It introduces to the world a new dance step originating from Nigeria. This dance becomes so popular that even in the end the fat guy eating was moving to the vibe.

    The second video story line: It is a continuation of the first video. It shows Davido on the hospital bed supposed to be receiving treatment, only for him to wake up noticing that no one was in the hospital. Here skelewu has gone viral and its more or less like the resident evil thing. If u notice in the video he was bitten but still wasn't acting like the infected people. This shows there would be a 3rd video (the remix).

    Am not a Davido fan but I must say he is doing a great job in this hit song

  55. this is the worst video ever sorry men u fucked up i expected more from you stay ur ass in nigeria and use the kids down there those clowns you had in ur video where on their own OFP (own fucking program) i waisted 4min of my life watching this crap thanks director

  56. ebi like you dey craze wetin be omo ibo there nw. davido abey you sexy die, your star shine pass everyone no allow the thing dim sha
