Meet Waliyah Abiola, Daughter Of Late MKO Abiola, Who Is A Music Artiste by weIMPORT: 9:41pm On Jun 12, 2018
Just like her father, the late MKO Abiola who started his entrepreneurial journey at a young age, Waliyah Abiola, who is one of the children of the late icon, also discovered her music talent early in life.

But unlike her father, she says the passion has come to stay, even if riches were to so flow her way later.

A graduate of Imperial College London, this sultry singer says she started singing as a teenager, but never thought anything of it professionally, until about 10 years ago.

To underscore how seriously she is taking her passion, Waliyah headlined a sold-out concert at London’s Jazz Cafe in 2011. She had organised and promoted the show herself.

The following year, she wrote and performed the BBC approved Olympic UK single, ‘It’s Time’ which was hugely promoted by Coca Cola, Grammy award-winning Super producer, Patrick Leonard, Quincy Jones, and Nigeria’s Funmi Iyanda among others.

An Afro-pop singer, Waliyah started gaining prominence in Nigeria after releasing her debut single, ‘Ejekajo’ which received critical reviews on notable channels like Studio 53 Extra, Channel 0, MTV, Nigezie, Soundcity and others.

Apart from her debut song, she has other songs like ‘Siwaju’, produced by Sarz and ‘Shut It Down’, produced by Tee Y Mix.

She has also shared the stage with established artistes like Tiwa Savage, Omawunmi, Nneka and 2Baba at various shows.

Beautiful omoluabi.
Proudly Yoruba.
Yoruba and good music is like 5 and 6. I can't imagine how great oodua/Yoruba land republic will look like.
If we are to leave this shytehole, we will be competiting with Japan, China, and the USA.

Most Ladies into music are there not only to sell their songs but to show us other things they have got.


I pity men who ever marry them coz, they aren't always the only one marrying them.. A good example is Tbilz and Tiwa salvage.

Guys, I want to ask this question, is it possible for incumbent head of state/president to honour himself the title of GCFR?, Because babangida honour himself the title of GCFR in 1988 the way he promote himself to the rank of general in 1987.....

Is it possible for the president to honour himself the title of GCFR the way babangida did?
A Nigerian president is automatically a GCFR so What question are you asking... Are you sure you're not transmission like IG of police hehehe grin grin grin
