Many have longed for a moment like this and quite unexpectedly, it lands right on the lap of gospel crooner, Nikki Laoye. At the recent commissioning of the Ford Foundation building in Lagos, on Saturday 2nd of October,2010, which had the President as the special guest of honor, Nikki Laoye was invited to open the event with her own special rendition of the Nigerian National Anthem, with a touch of piano accompaniment.
Once President Goodluck Jonathan arrived, in a flurry of helicopter landings, and was escorted across the red carpet, Nikki let out the first note, with the magical touch which she is known for, to make our national anthem a worthy song that made everyone wonder for a moment if she was singing an actual composition, and not the anthem.
The non-stop flow of comments and handshakes from dignitries sealed the day for Nikki as she was commended for the exquisite delivery of our country's song in this special 50th independence season.
Well Done,Nikki.
