(Download) Saint Obi Drops Three Hit Songs For His Birthday Celebration Download And Enjoy
It comes as a big surprise yet a beautiful one because like most of his Nollywood actors and Actresses who have forayed into the world of music and fumbled , He releases some hit songs; very imaginative and soul enriching songs that are destined to top charts not only in Naija but globally.
he says, “I am a natural late bloomer but whenever I arrive, perfection is all I exude.”
I am firm believer in giving back to society, especially our young ones. There are so many talented Nigerians who have been looking for platforms that will give flight to their talents without any success.
This led to the creation of AGWHYTE MUSIC LABEL [a subsidiary of my company, Agwhyte International Limited.]
“At the moment, AGWHYTE MUSIC label is starting with a group called, A.M. KREW made up of D-Style & Wit Moral as well as my humble self. We are dropping 3 massive joints titled YOU & I; IMAGINE and SARAKUTE.”
I listened to the songs and believe me, I was completely blown away.
Saint Obi is truly the real deal. His songs are massive, young, fresh, original, thought provoking and inspirational.

Self Care....... From Beautiful Nawti Readers
1) Collective action: Try something in a group that can help you alleviate some of your daily pressures. Kristen had a perfect example: "I started backcountry snowboarding with a group of parents who shared babysitting." Love it!
2) Find out what messages you heard about self-care, and talk them down: Some grew up in homes that regarded self-care as selfish; others developed that feeling later. Either way, it's worth remembering the classic oxygen mask wisdom: You can't take care of anyone else until you've taken care of yourself. It's something Tope learned the hard way, when her physician told her plain and simple that if she didn't take action on her self-care, she wouldn't be able to take care of her daughters.
4) Brain breaks are okay: Chisom gives herself a break from everyday stresses by picking up fun books that allow the brain to sort of work in a different, non-work-mode.
5) Accept compliments...: Becky learned how to stop "shyly shrugging off compliments," and it's something we could all try. A smile and "thank you" is always appropriate (um, unless the compliment is "You're beautiful"); I've also seen a smile and slightly downcast eyes work as a way of being humble but gracious.
6) ....And give one to yourself too: Emma tries to find one or two things during each shower that stand out to her that day and gives herself a quiet compliment on them. (This reminds me of Eat the Damn Cake's "un-roast," which she includes at the end of each post.)
7) Try food: This one is tricky for me, and for a lot of people, because taking care of myself with treat-like food slips very easily from something sensually indulgent to something unhealthy. But Tola's comment—"if I"m feeling frazzled, or if I'm just in the mood, out comes the ice cream"—is a reminder that there's nothing inherently wrong with using food as a coping mechanism. It's when it's the only coping mechanism that problems crop up.
8) Flossing and other health routines: Ruth doesn't pretend that flossing is fun, but she knows its rewards will pay out in the long run.
9) Take care of your skin: The act of applying moisturizer works on a lot of levels—you're nourishing your body's largest organ, you're giving yourself a light massage, and it's a small act you can do daily to no ill effects. Beth applies lotion after her nightly shower, a way of being kind to herself through her newfound sobriety. GiaPet takes a moment in the morning to do a dry brush, which she finds both meditative and cleansing.
10) Oh, fine, take a bubble bath: I guess I believed bubble baths were cliche because I haven't enjoyed once since age 8. My knees poke out! My neck gets sore! I get chilly! But it works for many of you, so while I'm not about to try one for myself again, it's clear that Calgon might have been onto something. (Maybe you all have bigger bathtubs? I envy Dangote's Family, who has a tub with jets!) It also presents the opportunity to smell nice, as with Andrea's Lush bath bombs.
11) Mani-pedi time: Like Yetunde, "When my feet start looking raggedy and the paint is chipped, I usually know it's not just laziness but more a sense of malaise." It's a small act, but I too feel infinitely better when I've given my hands and feet a little love.
12) Activities: Zara gardens; Olivia swing dances; Julia A meditates; CakeStripe shifted her studies from technical statistics to classes that invigorated her (like biology and yoga).Drumlore is a regular activity self-care machine, with library-hopping, hiking, and hula hooping (which I LOVE to do and appreciate the reminder of!). Also, opting out of activities can be self-care too, as Drumlore shares about cutting out of the social scene early to go home and watch a good movie.
13) Find a talisman: ModernSauce and Chisom both have favorite spoons, which I think is totally awesome. For a self-proclaimed "design junkie" like ModernSauce, having a small item that indulges her aesthetic sensibilities makes a difference.

(Interview) I Hate Men And And Am In Love With........... – Waje
While performing last weekend, you recounted how you worked with a record label for 10 years without producing an album. How did it happen?
Yes, I got signed to a record label when I was very young. The owner of the record label was a family friend, I did not bother to read through or look at the nature of the deal I was going into. Sometimes, people do have good intention but in life, time and chance happens to everybody. Even me, I did not have the ginger because I probably was waiting for them to do everything.
I did not understand the culture of going out there and getting things done for myself. But the good thing is that the contract did not expire. We ended amicably when I decided to go and pursue my dreams. At the time when I left the label, I released my song, “For a minute.” I did the song myself and at the same time shot the video.
So that is what happened. It was just a question of me not going out there to get things done for myself. I was waiting to be spoon fed. Not knowing that it is the other way that you have to go out there and hustle for yourself and not waiting for people to do it for you.
How old were you at that time?
I was 18 years.
How was the experience after you left the record label?
Like every other industry, I have to find my feet in many ways. This is because I do not know my left or right in the music industry. So, I have to learn a lot of things along the line. I am sure that is the experience of most people in the industry. I have to learn how to look for the right people to promote my songs and also learn how to look for the right producers to do my songs for me.
For me, it was all about, let’s go there and sing. I did not understand that as a female brand. You are also a show brand; how you look have a lot to say about your career. Basically, it has all been me learning with affiliation of all the people I have been meeting as I pursue my career in music.
Do you still have the fear of what your fans want from you despite the years you have spent in the industry?
Yes, I still have the fear, most of us also have the fear of what our fans want from us. But one thing I have which I thank God for, is my team. I do not keep it all to myself because, you cannot know it all. So, when you finish a music, play it to your team and sample opinion.
I am a strong believer in my talent. I strongly believe that for every single move you make there is a sound for that. And I feel that there is an audience to cater for as well. For me, African music as much as it is danceable still has a soul regardless of how danceable it is. That is why you could still get a soul out of Fela. What is soul music, most times people think it is slow music but soul music is actually any kind of music that connects to your soul.
That is why you have people like James Brown. As far as his music is concerned, he was still the king of soul music to a lot of people. I feel that my music is all about me being able to cut across to the people I can be able to cater for. Regardless of if it is going to be high-life or Afro music.
I am a fan of reggae music. But the thing is that there are certain messages you would want to convey to your audience. Even as you are writing the song, there is a genre that influences the song that you do not even know how you derived it. For instance, I a wrote a song recently about my daughter that I will be dropping in my next album.
The song has 6-8 beat and I have never done a song with that beat before. But when I was thinking about my daughter that was the sound that came to my mind. I recorded it on my cell phone and send it to my producer. He did the beat and send it back to me.
You performance at the concert cuts across all the genres of music. Is it because you do not want to be identified with a particular genre?
I think it is because it comes naturally. Sometimes, I even try to box myself because I feel it is a blessing and a curse in a way when you a bit versatile. What happens is that people sometimes, ask questions like what exactly is the sound. So I try my best to box my music but I just think that it comes naturally. So, I let the music flow as it comes.
You started your musical career as a chorister. When was the last time you sang in the church?
I still worship in my church but I have not sang for a long time now. I think the last time I sang in the church was in 2013. I still sing in my church but not in the choir. However, once in a while I am invited to render special numbers with the church choir. I am a member of This Present House, (T.P.H) Ministry.
I prefer not to be in the choir just because I want to be free. You know we are all human beings and most times, we judge even when we do not mean to. I want to be free in the house of God so that any day I want to cry to my God I lie at the alter and cry without anyone wondering whether this Waje or not.
What would you say the challenges have been so far?
I feel that one of the challenges is being tagged a female musician. The same value attached to the work as well as structure as it applies to the male artistes also applies to the female singers. We put in the same amount of hours in the studio. So, if I am to be appreciated as a musician I just want to be appreciated for my work.
If you want to invite Waje to a show, you said you want me to perform just because you like my work not because may be, you have about six male artistes on the line up, and you just decided to include one female act. I feel like we all work hard. I do not think Beyonce is tagged a female musician.
Are you not being chauvinistic here?
To be honest, this is not all about feminism. It’s just the fact. At the end of the day, we all push out the same work. Somebody is not going to be fair to me because I am a woman. A producer will not say Waje is a woman so let’s give her 10% discount. I think that is my greatest challenge when people tag us as female musicians while we are all musicians.
Can you share your experience with us as ONE campaign ambassador?
It has been amazing. Right now, it’s the highpoint of my career. Sometimes, you draw a plan of where you want to find yourself as a brand. I do not only want to be known as a musician, but also, as a brand that is associated with things that I am passionate about.
When ONE Campaign invited me to join them in this campaign I felt it would be good for me as a human being and also, to boost my career. I just got back from South Africa and we performed at the World Economic Forum. If someone had told me 10 years ago that I would perform at such an event, I would tell the person back to sender.Like I am very passionate about women because I have a daughter who has just finished her secondary education and is about gaining admission into the university. So, if I am doing music I must be rest assured that I have done things that can be able to change my environment. That she can as well enjoy a better upbringing and better opportunity that I had.
Sometimes, the blessing do not just come in the number of cars or houses that you have acquired. But God positions you in places were you know that eventually you will do something. South African female singers, Miriam Makeba and Brenda Fasie were women that sat with the policy makers and that is the place I will like to find myself.
Has it changed anything about you?
It has actually changed a lot of things about me. If I have to follow that path, there are certain things I cannot take for granted. I cannot live selfishly. I now know that I am an ambassador and there are people that are looking up to me. If I am going to join this campaign because Waje is there, I am probably a Waje follower. If I do not act properly, I will probably lead someone into doing something they are not supposed to do.
So how was it like working with other artistes in the campaign?
It was great because most of the ladies on the bill I have never heard of them before now. But I did my research and found out that some of them are actually big brands in their respective countries. That’s good because at the end of the day, we cannot be carrying flags to say we are Africans.
We do not even know ourselves very well. I felt it was very good for me because it forced me to go in search of their music to ascertain their roots. I took the first line and the whole arrangement of the song was done by Cohbams. So, it was not like it was all my inspiration.
Are you in love now?
Yes, I am in love with life.
How soon are you getting married?
Just join me in prayers. I know that when the right time comes you will know about it.
Did you plan to be a single mother?
I was not married, so there is no way I would have planned it.
What was it like to be a single mother?
It has its own challenges. But I guess what helped me was the support I got from my family. My mother is an Igbo woman. After I gave birth to my daught, I went back to school as my mother took care of her. I also have brothers who are close to me and are married, so most times she visits them. I think my family helped me a lot. My mother is my gold, my diamond and everything. She made bringing up my daughter easier for me

Nigeria Badazz Female Vocalist Top 10
Originally done and assembled by Marapolsa, below are 10 totally 'badazz' musical sensations you’ll ever hear from the Nigerian shore but re-written here on NawtiNaija.
Just to be clear, the reference point here is still “vocalists”, and not just anybody who can open their bucca to make melodies from it. It takes more than just the singing art or form to be conferred with such a revered yet simple title. So with that understanding, please peruse this list and let us know what you think about it...
10-CYNTHIA MORGAN
Cynthia Ikponmwenosa Morgan (born 23 September 1991), popularly known by her stage name Cynthia Morgan, is a Nigerian born songwriter and singer whose style of music is a fusion of pop, hip hop, dancehall and rap. Though she's more into rap and dancehall, but bae can sing. This is very obvious from her "Don't Break My Heart" single which brought her into limelight. A song she followed with another hit single “Lead Me On”, both of which received significant airplay.
9-NIYOLA
Niyola has been into music since she was 8, and in 2000 emerged at the first runner up in the AMEN starlet competition. She later linked up with Trybe records, and then Westside music where she released her debut album with singles Me n U, No More and Dem Say. Her profile took a serious upturn when she signed with EME and everyone really started taking notice. Her single Toh Bad became her IT song, and show cased not only her singing ability, but her ability to convey emotions through her song so effortlessly. Song writing wise she’s also quite stellar, and her subsequent singles, No Comment, Love To Love You, and Last Bus Stop have done well to cement her name as one of the top divas in Nigerian music.
8-CHIDINMA
This Project Fame winner from 2010 hit the ground running right after she was crowned with the hit single, Jankolikoko featuring Sound Sultan. Though she’s not your stereotypical vocalist, she knows how to deliver songs in a way that every class of people in Nigeria can rock with. Her single, Kedike has become her trademark tune winning her awards after awards including Best Female West African Act at the KORA awards in 2012, and giving her the tag name Ms Kedike. Following that up shortly after with another mega hit Emi Ni Baller. Her more recent singles, Oh Baby, Jolie, and Kite have done well to keep her status at a consistent level. Giving her all the makings of someone that’ll be around for the long haul.
...........................................
7-SEYI SHAY
If there was anything else Seyi Shay could have done better than singing, I bet it would still be singing. She’s like one of the baddest female singers to come outta Nigeria. Ms Shay boasts of an impressing list of international music credits from singing to songwriting.
She was privileged to be the lead act for a now defunct UK-based girl group where she got the opportunity to not only tour with, but also open a show for one of the world’s utterly successful music divas, Beyoncé. After working with a fine crop of international artistes including Michelle Williams, Justin Timberlake and Chip (just to mention a few), she returned to her home country and began to shine right from her very first release, Loving Your Way. It was succeeded by other breaking singles Irawo, Ragga Ragga, Murda, Crazy, Jangilova and more recently, Right Now. Seyi’s voice is quite the rare type, her heart is deeply souled up in it and the sound is totally disarming. Ms Shay is signed to Island Music and most recently, a Pepsi Brand Ambassador.
6-RUBY GYANG
Although Ruby might need an introduction to some, but that moment when she opens up her mouth to belt out riveting notes is all the announcement that does her perfect and fitting justice.
That she doesn’t have an exhaustive list of a musical discography like most her counterparts do, still doesn’t undermine the fact that she is very well made up for in the voice department with a crazy pitch on which she bathes her savvy dexterity over. With a vocal range that covers four octaves, Ruby has slayed songs Okay, Down and Good Man to spectacular relish. Her soul-stirring appeal has won her the hearts of many good music lovers, even MI, Jesse Jags, ClassiQ and Ese Peters. She is currently signed to the indestructible crew of Choc Boi Nation.
5-WAJE
It is not so surprising that Waje seats unopposed at the number one spot. I mean, this is what you get when you are otherwise referred to as ‘The African Soul’ and have been conferred (although unofficially) with the title of Africa’s Vocal Powerhouse.
Since her days with P-Square and Mr Incredible where she was the vocal sensation behind their music hits Do Me and One Naira respectively, Waje’s beacon has continued to burn the brightest and she drew inspiration from music legends Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin to showcase on her self-styled singles Oko Mi, Onye, Grind, I Wish, Higher, No Be You, and Black and White all housed on her debut album, W.A.J.E (Words Aren’t Just Enough).
Waje has stayed consistent in her craft by churning out newer singles Omini Knowest, Coco Baby, Mma Mma and the very latest, Left For Good. Her big, strong voice covers over three octaves makes her our number five pick
4-OMAWUMI
First daughter of Warri soil, Omawumi Megbele is a born certified music diva. At the premiere edition of West African Idols, Omawonder placed first runner-up in the year 2007 and her profile has not gone down since then. Her selling point?
Having an uber strong voice that just cannot be missed and then a very out-going personality. Omawumi began to thrill us with records from her repertoire which she slayed with rich vocal flavour. Music releases that have become reminiscent of her signature soprano will include Serious Love Nwantiti and In The Music off her debut LP, Wonder Woman. She continued the trend with If You Ask Me, I Go Go and Bottom Belle, all of which served as promotional singles for her second album, Lasso of Truth – an afro-themed musical collection that culled some real life experiences. We definitely cannot miss other material like Stay Alive (Jeje Laye) and Warn Yourself. Before she entered into hiatus, Somori, Finally and Megbele are the treaties she left us with while we earnestly anticipate her re-emergence.
3- YEMI ALADE
Yemi rose from total obscurity and worked her way relentlessly to becoming unarguably Africa’s best female artiste at present. Girl can SING for the world!
She blew our minds with her majestic poise and her sweet ringing soprano at the debut edition of Peak’s talent hunt show in 2009 and welcomed us officially to her music world with the release of Fimisile which followed that closely with more stellar efforts Ghen Ghen Love, Bamboo and Johnny especially, which later became the lead single for her debut album, King of Queens. Ms Alade laced her fierce voice on Duro Timi, Catch You, Temperature and a couple other tracks that showed how recklessly skilled she is in the vocal artistry. Fresh off a music tour that saw her heating up the stage in choice locations around the world, she is set to drop her second studio album, already titled “Mama Africa“. You can always bank on Yemi Alade’s voice at any time of day and it’s an unusual feat that has given her quite the edge. Rather than impede her, she’s usurped the opportunity to enjoy a healthy musical association with her colleagues.
2-ASA
Asa can very much be likened to the African Adele. Not because they sound alike or anything of such, but for the similarities they share in their music and how it propels emotion. Asa can sing to save a dying soul, I mean literally. And hers is an art that she has perfected over time, having tailored after the likes of Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and D’Angelo. When you add that with the sojourn she enjoys abroad, it perfectly explains why she is a force to reckon with.
Asa’s self-titled debut contained records that were hugely successful hits especially 360, Fire On The Mountain, Eye Adaba and Jailer. In like manner, her sophomore disc contains notable releases like Be My Man, Why Can’t We and Baby Gone. Her latest effort, Bed of Stone is still pulling reviews globally by reason of it’s musical showmanship. Asa credits music legends Fela, Bob Marley, King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey as her influences.
1 - TIWA SAVAGE
Nobody badder than Mrs Billz, I tell you. First, she boasts a degree in professional music from the Berklee College of Music, and in 2006, she featured on the UK platform for X-factor where she placed third in runner-up. A vocalist per excellence, Tiwa has lent her sonorous voice to international music legends like Mary J Blige, Chaka Khan, George Michael, Whitney Houston and Andrea Bocelli just to mention a few.
After she had amassed an exhaustive amount of vocal and lyrical credit, she returned back to Nigeria's shores with the motive to dominate and rule....AND SHE DID!
Tiwa blessed us with sound treaties that showed her acuity in the vocal department. Kele Kele Love, Love Me, Without My Heart, Ife Wa Gbona, Olorun Mi and Wanted, are some of the songs she slayed with her voice. She has an impressive list of vocal features with Waje, Sean Tizzle, Solidstar, Skuki, Pasuma, Isaac Geralds and many many others, as well as mates from her record label, the Supreme Mavin Dynasty.
