This woman was one of the earlier generation of Nigerian reggae artists I became acquinted with during the early days of my childhood.

She was such a good reggae music singer woman and artist competing in a budding male-dominated field with the likes of the legendary Majek ( "the Rainmaker" ) Fashek, Ras Kimono, Maxwell Udoh, Mandators Blackky etc.

My favourite track of her always is the "Happy Birthday" song. So happy many hearty birthday madam. You really inspired me back then.

However, in the 1990s, the reggae star disappeared abruptly from the sight of her fans. It turned out that she moved to Paris, France, together with her two children. The singer claimed that she fled from her husband because of the domestic violence that he inflicted on her. She said that he was “very violent.”

To bad this is what sent this highly talented woman away from her home country and her many fans. Some men are just useless simps.
