Manager of late reggae musician, Majek Fashek, Omenka Uzoma Day is fuming. His angst is about the happenings in the world today. In his newly released song, ‘One People’ Uzoma who is popularly known as Uzo appealed to world leaders to make life easy for their people.
Explaining what inspired ‘One People,’ the CEO, Miracle Day Music said, “It is high time the world desists from disunity, dishonesty, propaganda, division, tribalism, xenophobia, religious intolerance and racism. I classify all these as venom. It is what you tell your children that they grow with. A lot of these problems are what is in their heads.
“At times I wonder about the purpose of ammunition if it is not a money making venture because if there is no war, ammunition would not be sold.”
“I am trying to speak to everyone with my songs. Even the so-called COVID-19 pandemic is a money making scheme. How can I pay to do COVID-19 test when I do not have it?
“I pay for that here and when I arrive I pay for the hotel and big money to be quarantined including feeding and the rest. It ought to be free. We were told that two jabs of the vaccine would do, what then is the need for the quarantine?
“Governments of the world should reduce panic. However, I believe that the cure is in Africa,” he added
For Day, the world is not normal: “In some countries why are their laws in favour of women rather than men in terms of divorce? Many women are using it to kick out men making money from child support and the government. Agreed, women ought to be respected but many of them are taking advantage of the law and making men miserable.”
He recalled that he was invited to perform at the ebony award in the UK where a lot of dignitaries attended, noting that he could see the passion of Her excellency Fatima Jabbe –Bio, First Lady of Sierra Leone, about the African children when she made her speech.
“Even our own Ambassador in the UK, His Excellency Sarafa Tunji Isola was not left out in the gospel of unity,” he added
He stressed that if the government does the needful, all these agitations would become a thing of the past.
Day, who is set to tour the world with his 18-man band, has eight singles currently enjoying rave reviews on the Miracle Day Music label which include Walk without you (dedicated to the memory of Majek Fashek); God bless Lagos; Celebrate; Merciful God and Zion Africa.
