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.

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

New artists, film projects, philanthropic endeavors, and solid results for sponsors marked a year of growth and success for Boogie Down Nima Productions (BDN).

Boogie Down Nima Productions (BDN) based in Bronx, NY and Accra, Ghana navigated the turbulent waters of recession-plagued 2009 successfully with positive results in attendance, artist growth and sponsor satisfaction in its annual productions. With a series of events including the launching of a Tuition Scholarship Program in Ghana, a supplemental feeding program for rural village schools and a bright future for its roster of artists, BDN is positioning itself for even greater results in 2010. In spite of what many believed to be a "down" year due to the economy; the majority of BDN events did exceedingly well. Boogie Down Nima Productions focused on promoting international understanding through music and confronting some of the devastating effects of endemic poverty and inequality. BDN programs focus on education, community health, food nutrition, and community arts.

Vagabond in power (Nneka)

You dey torture me so
You dey break my heart
You dey do the ting wey you dey do me, dey do me

You no fit say you no know wetin you dey do me
You dey break my heart

You dey take my soul away
