I thought she be Yoruba o

Happy birthday to her sha

I remember when watching those reality Talent Hunt shows like MTN project fame, Nigerian Idols and their likes some years back and the interviewer asks the female contestants who their role model was, many always mentioned one name.

OMAWUMI!

Women sacrifice alot, even their thriving career because of marriage and child care.

Happy birthday OMAWUMI! I pray your life and marriage be as beautiful as your voice and as vibrant as your stage performance.

I love the way she always sing "My name is Omawumi"
