The songstress delivered a vibrant musical rendition, adding colour and glamour to the biggest sports competition in Africa.

Afrobeats singer, Yemi Alade made Nigerians proud on the continental stage with a colourful and lively performance at the AFCON opening ceremony.

The 34-year-old has now joined the prestigious list of Nigerian artistes who have made grand appearances at sporting events namely, Davido, Rema, Kizz Daniel, and Burna Boy.

As expected, Yemi Alade wowed the audience with a splendid performance laced with African cultural heritage.

Yemi Alade performed alongside Magic System – a highly competent Ivorian coupé-décalé music combo and the Egyptian actor, rapper, song composer, Mohamed Ramadan.

Yemi Alade who is often referred to as ‘Mama Africa’ due to her constant depiction of African culture in her songs and style of dressing didn’t fail to replicate the same at the AFCON stage as she exuded Africanity in all aspects. 

Consequently, Netizens trooped to the comment section to congratulate and celebrate Yemi Alade.

She also shared it with music legends from other countries including Ivorian group, Magic System and Egyptian singer, Mohamed Ramadan.

Her rendition on the AFCON theme song “Akwaba,” meaning “welcome” in Baoule language in Côte d’Ivoire, is musically rhythmic. Her vocalization was topnotch. Not to fail to mention her ebony, queenly styled Ankara dress. Was a great outing for her. Hope this helps. 

A young man call, FADA OLUOMA has come up with a write-up, advising young people to disagree with some beliefs that stand to affect their destiny. Therefore, sit and cross your legs while go through the advice. 

 

Nigerians have decided that this year is a year of "no gree for anybody", so make you no gree for anybody who:

 

1. Tells you that you are not married because you have spiritual husband or wife without giving you spiritual divorce from them.

 

2. No gree for anybody who tells you that you are not married because of spiritual husband or wife, yet after multiple deliverances you still never marry.

 

3. No gree for anybody who tells you that someone stole your destiny without identifying the person and retrieving your stolen destiny for you.

 

4. No gree for anybody who tells you to sow a seed for breakthrough or some miracle and after sowing you don't receive it. Ask for refund

 

5. No gree for anybody who tells you to leave your church for their own. If their church were different, they wouldn't be going to same markets, schools and conditions like the rest of us.

 

6. No gree for anybody who tells you all your problems but doesn't solve them.

 

7. No gree for anybody who tells you your ancestors are responsible for your frustrations. The white people's ancestors committed more crimes than ours and yet they are prospering. 

 

8. No gree for anybody who advices you to leave a good paying job or business in Nigeria to japa. Only the jobless or people with low income should japa.

 

9. No gree for anybody who tells you that Christianity has failed, most prosperous countries in the world practice Christianity.

 

10. No gree for anybody who tells you that omenala(tradition) means rejecting God or resorting to fetish things. Christianity and good traditions are compatible. 

 

11. No gree for anybody who tells you to suspend your intelligence in religious matters. Piety and stupidity are not the same.
