Nigeria's fun evolution!

Thursday, May 8, 2008
Just thot i asked, wasnt GOSSIP GIRL rather a shocker last monday???
Ok today we r going black, black as in Nigeria! For most of us in our generation it might be a hint to lead us into a great future and investment for our country especially in the entertainment and fashion industry. These days all i have been doin, believe it or not is thinking of what to wear for the NEA 2008 in newyork! LoL...you must think i dont have work but maybe i dont cuz i have been on a break from school till monday but eitherways i have been really excited bout a fun weekend in NY with my girls.

And with all this excitment about the awards on June 21st, i have really been digging into Nigeria's past and seeing alot of changes in our industry (entertainment and fashion). I can almost remember what year it was when plantashun boiz were the ish. Now we hear only 2face and faze, i wonder where the third is now. And still we have more Nigerian music artists doing amazing things like BANKY, i singled him out because he is my favourite and he was a supporter of rouge empire's pink pearl (well i get to that because its my blog, LOL). "Till my dying day" is a song i have not been able to stop loving for a while now, thank you to that "special friend" in houston at the moment who put it in my head! For those of you that still think the way i used to about how whack the nigerian industry is, i advice you to think again and visit websites such as http://www.underdarock.com/ , http://www.nairaland.com/ and others i might not even know about and see how much you are missing!


We must hail NOLLYWOOD still, its been great having to get glued to websites like onlinenigeria.com (especially those i know who cant even study without being on the site, LOOOL) and watch all the various artist show their talents! We know the oldies (Genevieve, Rita, Dakore, Ramsey and the likes) and now the new ones have entered the game. Well let me not talk as if i know more than one of them, she happen to have caught my attention ever since i started watch nigerian movies again, MERCY JOHNSON, you should see "act of faith"! Lets compare and see the evolution in nollywood...from the time of "living in bondage" to "keeping faith" and then to my very best at the moment "act of faith", i mean we must admit that the industry is looking fruitful and will accept our generation with open arms, (well i seem to think everything is about our generation!) just as nollywood has accepted one of us (Rouge empire) and would be starring in one of nollywoods best very soon. HAahahahah, i really cant wait to watch!

Yh Fashion, fashion, fashion.....the only person i can single out at the moment is TOJU FOYEH and her lovely designs, maybe cuz she is all over facebook or something! I am sure there are more people like her who might be waiting for the right time to come out or might already have been out and are yet to catch my attention. Nigeria indeed has a bright future to look forward to!!


And then my final best is LARA GEORGE, another talent who from what i have read, has been out there for a while now but due to my lateness, i am just finding her out. Her single "ijoba orun" is one song that screams "perfection" to my ears, maybe cuz its gospel or the production of that video was at its peak, i dont know. Watch and listen to Lara for yourself, i know im not the only one who feels this way!
So now i will retreat back to my soon-to-be-student life and figure out how i want to "make daddy proud", LOL while on the side i work on making it possible to be there for the NEA 2008 to see all the faboulous people and support them! Visit the website http://www.nea2008.com/ and vote, vote wisely for rouge empire (PINK PEARL) supporter, AY as best comedian of the year.... its just one click away! See you on June 21st in newyork!!!!

Its ROugE baBY!!!!
