Ghetto Nazigala - Bobi Wine remixes Paul Kafeero's Dipo Nazigala and says no to drugs

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •  

His Excellency Uganda Ghetto President Bobi Wine has once again released a pure Edutainment song titled Ghetto Nazigala. Following so much criticism from both his friends and enemies on issues relating to the Ghetto President's unstoppable appetite for weed/Ganja (Sada), Bobi Wine is now determined to do his best to save Ugandans from the evils brought by weed/Ganja. Ghetto Nazigala is a remix of Late Paul Kafeero's Dipo Nazigala and was released at the start of this week.

In Ghetto Nazigala, Bobi Wine confesses to have been a Ganja addict and now working on his total rehabilitation. He goes on to advise his young brothers Banjoman and Mickie Wine plus all the Ghetto youths to quit smoking weed because it's so dangerous to their lives and the entire society. Even though Ghetto Nazigala is a repeat of the late Golden Boy of Africa aka Prince Paul Job Kafeero's Dipo Nzigala, Mr. Badman from Kamwokya tried his best to fit in the original version track.Twajooga Ekibuga Twajoga Ekibuga

Somewhere In Africa (Meta and The Cornerstones)

Hook X2
Somewhere, somewhere in Africa dread
There is a tribal fight
Gotta stop this war, fire-fear dread

Verse
People you all know money is the roots of all evil
And modesty got no price or level dread
Being what you are is not terrible dread
Just be a man don’t be a devil
This world can make it good I say
Open your eyes and don’t be blind
Cause enemies come from behind
Keep the faith as the sunshine
Jah fire will be burning and no wicked man will be running safe

Hook X2
Somewhere, somewhere in Africa dread

Nigeria's Faze writes song for BBC Africa titled Tomorrow’s Leaders

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

I was thinking @Fazeoji has been quiet for a while now. ‘Leaders of Tomorrow' was on Faze's Originality album released a couple of years ago. About the song, Faze said - For instance, I wrote a song for BBC Africa titled Tomorrow’s Leaders. It’s played on a programme called “Nigerian Schools.” It talks about how to improve our educational system in Nigeria and how the children need us to support them and not just the government.

It's a great song! I love it when African musicians make socially conscious songs like these.
The video was directed by Dede Oji and is on the Label, Independent. The new video for BBC Nigeria was off his Originality album. The video focuses on educating and supporting the dreams of Nigeria’s children and creating a strong infrastructure so they can achieve their goals.
