Many Nigerians, especially mothers, become parents and give up their personality to raise kids. Many people never really meet the "person" in their parents. It's a sad reality.
I never forget the day my grandma's younger sister was trashing boys in table tennis during lock down.
My cousin locked himself indoors and refused to eat for days because his babe left him. Entire family had to go beg the girl. He's married to her now.
I was 10 when it happened but I knew no human being will ever have that kind of control over me. I put that on my Saint Obi.
When he hopped on Ojuelegba remix in 2017 and followed up with One Dance, it wasn't even cool in the US mainstream to hop on Afrobeats.
