GOSPEL MUSIC ICON, BUCHI RELEASES NEW SINGLE, "IT'S STILL LEGAL + 3 VERSIONS

Buchi, the music minister and missionary, released a brand new single titled ‘IT’S STILL LEGAL’ to celebrate his birthday on the 24th of June, 2015. 

Buchi’s birthday is taking a low-key this year because of the importance of the message in the song, and so Buchi has chosen to release it NOW, instead of his traditional 3 years intervals between albums or new releases.

All of Buchi’s albums have been released at intervals of three years: 1999 (These days), 2002 (So beautiful), 2005 (What a Life), 2008 (Sound of Life), 2011 (Judah), 2014 (I See)… so why can’t SONG 55 wait till 2017?

This song is not likely to make you dance, It’s not intended to. This is a song to the church, for everyone who has things to do for God, the time is now!  It’s the clarion call of watchmen: Like the “Children of Issachar, Men who had understanding of the times Who knew what Israel ought to do” (1 chronicles 12:32). So RISE UP WHILE IT’S STILL LEGAL to talk about Jesus publicly, before the doors are shut completely.

Song 55 (It’s Still Legal) has four different versions, features 

THREE (3) artistes – Iyke Onka, Farlon Lyte (South Africa), and Sam Jamz; 

THREE (3) amazing music producers (J-Treash, Ceewai & Iyke Onka); 

and that very important message. 

SONG 55:

-It’s Still Legal By Buchi

-It’s Still Legal Ft Farlon Lyte Produced by JTreash

-It’s Still Legal Ft Samjamz Produced by JTreash

-It’s Still Legal Ft Iyke Onka Produced by Iyke Onka

Buchi says “Before I knew that I would ever sing, I always knew that i had a role to play and be involved in a song that would herald the coming of Christ. This is it. I will be eternally grateful if you can as my birthday gift, help, support, share, tweet, post and distribute through your various networks this song, so that this God given message can reach everyone. I Thank You”

#OSGVITILIGODAY - CELEBRATING WORLD VITILIGO DAY

Lagos, Nigeria - World Vitiligo Day is an annual event specially dedicated to people with Vitiligo on June 25th. The global event is to create awareness about the skin condition.

Vitiligo is a continual skin problem that produces white depigmentation patches that develop and enlarge only in certain sections of the skin. The white patches appear because the person has little or no skin cells. 

Though, it is impossible to predict how much of the skin can be affected by Vitiligo and it is not life threatening.

The reason why Olori Supergal created this online campaign is to create awareness on Vitiligo and also to educate people about the skin condition using Social media. 

The model for the campaign - Temilola Omoobajesu shared her message to encourage other people with Vitiligo to come out. In her words, she said ''Don't let anybody's opinion of beauty be your idea of what beauty should be. You need to accept and celebrate yourself before people will accept you. There is no need to be perfect to inspire people, let people get inspired by how you deal with your Imperfections'' she said.

Join other people around the world with Vitiligo to share your story here - www.olorisupergal.com/vitiligoday.

The online campaign was created by Ajibade Oluwatosin, founder of olorisupergal.com.

MUSIC: SABINA AND P'REALM - I HAVE HOPE (PRODUCED BY WOLE ONI)

A couple of months after the release of ‘Mai Gida’ (ft Joe El of Kennis Music), the phenomenal Sunday Best Award Winning On Air Personality of Naija fm 102.7 and gospel music diva, SABINA releases a beam of Hope in contemporary African melody.

Just right-on- time for a period where systems are failing, lives being lost in alarming rates and men are living in fear, and money loosing its value, Sabina and her electrifying band, P'Realm joined forces with the multi Award winning producer Wole Oni (WOMP) in this song titled ‘I HAVE HOPE’ in order to revamp the annals of dashed hopes of Nigerians and people around the world.

Sabina says “it doesn't matter how long the ropes of your hopes have been left hanging, you can hope again and trust God. #NaijaHopeDey.  

This song is a lyrical and melodic element in the continuum of a crusade to restore hope to the hopeless as Sabina and friends have continued to reach out and show up surprisingly at the doorsteps of people who are totally  hopeless in the creeks and ghettos with financial,  emotional and material help.

.I HAVE HOPE!  DO YOU?
