WHERE ARE
THEY?
As
many artistes, both upcoming and ‘Celebs’ are making beats and hits in
the music industry, I have sat with my hands on my chin to think of some
ironies in this prestigious industry of ours. My usual curiosity led me to
observe that some big names we shouted so loud, have tuned so low, that we now
mention them in whispers.
First on my list of missing names is my
cool, crazy friend,
CHUDDY K: - He
sent us crazy with that gaga hit that cruised about in night clubs and parties.
Most of us questioned the lyrical content of such song, but who cares, so long as
you can move your body and girls move their waist to the beat, the lyrics can
be buried somewhere. His entrance in the industry that year got him a credible
landmark, as he won the best street pop for that year. But I have come to
notice that this dude, whose song, Disc Jockeys pounded in every night party,
have either gone missing or changed occupation. Ever since he gave us that
costly Brazilian hair, not much has
been heard of him. Probably the Brazilian
hair was so costly that he spent all his talent to purchase it. His
managers at YQN should have informed
him that a cheap ‘weavon’ would have done more good in keeping him on track.
Please if you should meet my missing friend anywhere, help me tell him that the
Brazilian hair he gave us is overdue,
and now old. We need a new hairdo, this time a better one that won’t make us gaga crazy.

The second on my list of missing names is
my cool homeboy,
MISH:
- He loves home so much, that he would
want to board an aero to his village. Most of us have forgotten that he taught
us the now famous dance step ‘etighi’, when he busted our eardrums
with that blazing single ‘AkwaIbom’. The lyrical content
wasn’t so bad, judging by the fact that it wasn’t my language and I could
barely decode its meaning. He used that single to teach us some nuggets about
his culture. I have wondered where he might be; probably he has finally gone
home, like he always wanted. Anyone who comes in contact with him should please
ask him, if he used motor or aero to get to Uyo.

I still have a lot of missing persons in
my box of curiosity but I will kindly leave that for the subsequent edition.
