I know that the Genevieve Nnaji Video (a single) is titled 'No More'. What are the albums or singles of the other Actors turned musicians titled?

I think He's Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi....not 100% sure though

Ramsey waz featured in about 2 songs
Desmond did a sound track and also video for the sountrack. He's into singin as well
Omotola and Segun's album are still in the Pipe Line
Bobby Micheals has a single on air titlled "in the eyes of a child"
Stella and Saheed hav got singles on air
Genny's album was produced & released in ghana..not my type of songs

Among these lots i'll give it up to Omotola and Segun. I think they are good. I've heard them sing..very wonderful wink

OBASANJO nah my papa
NATIONAL STADIUM nah me build am
NATIONAL THEATRE na me get am
I go give you de contract
Just give me some money for the Contract
419, na my occupation
bla bla bla

Its basically a 419 song and it was quite funny.
Rated: grin grin grin  average
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by layi(m): 11:29am On Sep 20, 2005
@fabian

The EFCC is really out to ban that song. We might not hear it on radio again because they said its glamorizing 419. True nkem was actually doing so in d song. Amazing shocked
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by fabian(f): 11:42am On Sep 20, 2005
That was original! Why do they want to do that na wah for EFCC oh! Me, I likey the song!
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by queen2(f): 6:22pm On Sep 20, 2005

Not much to say on this subject smiley

In my own opinion, from this list, I personally give Stella Damascus thumbs up because she is a great singer. I have heard and seen her sing now she can definitely be refered to as a singer/musician whatever.

Saheed Balogun is alright too but i thought he only sings yoruba fuji songs. if anyone buys ramsey noah's album it would probably be for his looks he is so overated and arrogant saw in a club in the UK and he just acted like he was the nigerian president cheesy (if he was heaven help us).

Genny is cool she can act in all fairness to her. I have not heard her sing but I am sure whatever she does she will be aight. Saw at 11:45 night club when I was in Nigeria last; she is a really sweet girl (down-to-earth). Good luck to her.
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by bagoma(f): 11:51pm On Sep 30, 2005
The list is growing longer by the day. Na wa o.

Why do Nigerians have this follow-follow attitude? So they all suddenly realise they can sing? Or has somebody hinted them that singing and acting are co-joined twins?

God save us from horrible musicians like genevieve, nkem owoh, ramsey etc. Is it by force, eh? angry
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by Benny: 6:12pm On Oct 03, 2005
God help us. The funniest of all is that of Segun Arinze getting into the stuff. Well, i guess Nigerians need to be careful. I won't be in anyway surprised if our President gets into the music industry grin
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by Scorpio(f): 1:07am On Oct 04, 2005
I know Segun's been in d music industry for a while now, so i'm really not surprised. I'm more surprised at Desmond Elliot, if he's voice is d same as what i heard in ''Games women play', i would really be crushed.
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by layi(m): 10:08am On Oct 04, 2005
@Bagoma.
U r right. Its the folow-follow syndrome.
They just want to copy Hollywood. Or how best can one explain "Nollywood" (the name they gave themselves)?
God Help us.

@Benny
If OBJ switches to music...then we r in trouble in this country. A pyscho leading us. I'll relocate to togo with immediate effect.
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by Scorpio(f): 1:48pm On Oct 04, 2005

Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by bagoma(f): 10:08pm On Oct 04, 2005
Guys, dont u think its time charlie boy ( PMAN ) saved us from this horror. i meam, he should borrow a leaf from the movie marketers and place embargo on them o. they are about to hijjack d industry. (abi them don take off with the plane already?) is too late?
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by layi(m): 10:07am On Oct 05, 2005
Omotola's album finally dropped today. She's good. Trust me wink. I'll try get more info from her producers and get back at y'all.
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by Scorpio(f): 5:25pm On Oct 05, 2005

Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by queen2(f): 10:30pm On Oct 05, 2005
Oh yea good i want to hear her song grin
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by hotangel2(f): 12:10am On Oct 06, 2005
Aww omotola i wanna hear her song! Why dont they put the songs on their websites? Why do they have the website if they won't update their fans? Nonsense!
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by ocho(f): 10:47pm On Oct 11, 2005
hey all,
I recently heared Genevive Nnaji sings too, but i haven't heard any of her songs though and i was wondering how good they are. At least, it's nice to see that they are developing their talents, i mean why else did God give it to them!
Re: Nigerian Actors & Actresses Who Now Sing by ocho(f): 10:51pm On Oct 11, 2005
oh, So the cute Desmond sings too? interesting! And Segun? wow! it sounds quite suprising but if anyonwe knows a website where i can get these songs, please be a sweetie and let me know. thank you!
