According to the singer-rapper-songwriter, “I was conceived and certified totally Blind at birth. For fifteen nights this woman held me in her hands and wept uncontrollably, with my father calling on God to bless newly born Chidinma with sight…. On the 16th day I opened my eyes…. And they been open ever since.. I was born a very fragile baby with some health conditions. Her prayers took it all away. Today I dedicate my entire life selflessly and earnings to catering to visually impaired/blind people. Life is such a wonderful and colorful piece of art and it must feel like hell not to envision Gods creation.”
Chidinma also used the opportunity of her new song dedicated to her mother to announce her new charity called ‘THE Mma Charity Foundation, as a way for her to give back to the world.

We have chosen Road Runners as our partner because they represent one of the biggest youth brand in Lagos and the biggest youth brand on the Mainland, and we appreciate the support of the MD/CEOs of Road Runners; Mr. Segun Shoboyede and Mr. Niran Odulana for supporting the development of Theater in the Country.

Top choice for me @DonRalphDMG


 Below is a statement about the song by Alicia Keys


Alicia Keys – We Are Here (Official Music Video) The day I wrote this song, I was sitting in a circle of people of all ages and we were asked, “Why are you here.” Why am I here?? This really hit me on a deep level. I realized no one had ever asked me that question before. As I prepare to give birth to a new child, I can't help and think about the world I'm bringing my baby into. No matter where we come from, when we see the state of the world today, we can all feel the growing frustration and desire to make a difference. And we all have a voice - we just need to know how to make it heard.

 I have a vision that I believe is more than a dream, that I know can be our reality. I believe in an empowered world community built on the true meaning of equality – where we are all considered one people, regardless of race, religion, gender, zip code, belief system or sexual orientation. I believe all of our voices should be heard, so that our representation reflects our population.

We need our leadership to reflect an equal balance of the gifts that both men and women have to offer. I believe in a world where every child born receives a quality education – where their unique gifts are nurtured so that they may be a beneficial presence in this world. I believe in mutual respect and cooperation among all peoples and all nations. It is time to end all forms of racial injustice for our black brothers and sisters and all people of color.

I believe in an end to the prison industrial complex in America and a renewed justice system that is based on fairness and truth. I believe in universal global health care based on Integrative Medicine, so that our bodies are acknowledged and treated as one system, and we can help control the spread of diseases like AIDS, Malaria, TB and Ebola. I believe we have an ability to end poverty, oppression, and hopelessness that often breeds despair, terror, and violence. I believe in common sense gun laws that serve to protect children and families and society from unnecessary violence.

I believe in Peace & Love & Unity. I believe that this vision can be a reality. And, it’s not about me. It’s about WE. Together we can give birth to a kinder and more peaceful world for ALL children. Our souls were brought together so that we can love each other sister, brother. We Are Here. We are here for all of us. That's why #WeAreHere. Sent with Light, Alicia Keys

Fast rising musician and writer, Runtown who was Notjustok Hype last month (July 2014) returns with a new single titled Baby Answer
Lovely and strong high-life tune which samples the Village Headmaster soundtrack from the late 80′s and early 90′s (originally sang by Peacocks Highlife band). Brings back childhood memories.
Listen and Enjoy! Runtown is truly talented.
