“IT’S A WATERSHED MOMENT”, HE
SAYS!
The eagerly
anticipated video to Timi Dakolo’s awe-inspiring classic, Great Nation is
out – officially and exclusively on- www.youtube.com/timidakolo
The song widely considered as one of the most inspiring
African- produced pieces of all time has repeatedly left audiences spell bound
after every performance.
From the closing ceremony of the 2011 National Sports festival in Port Harcourt through the Future Awards (where the video was premiered) to the Headies and countless other events, Timi’s powerful rendition easily penetrates the hearts and inspires the minds of Nigerians of all generations, backgrounds and creed.
Great
Nation inspires a sense of patriotism
in uncommon proportions and offers something to believe in, a great reason to be
proud of one’s “Nigerianess” and a belief that indeed, greatness is within our
grasp.

Released by Lone
Records/ Now Muzik and directed by the multi-award winning Clarence Peters, the
video will hit TV platforms by the end of the week.

Timi expressed his
happiness with the release of the video thus: “I am delighted that the Great
Nation video has finally been delivered and the feedback so far has been
wonderful. It was a very challenging exercise, believe me. The process of
agreeing on the best treatment for the video to a song of this magnitude in
terms of importance was rigourous. Everyone had a bright idea about how it
should be visually interpreted but once we started the shoot, everything
progressed fluidly. I’m particularly grateful to my friends – and firm believers
in the Nigeria project who formed the cast, Clarence and his crew, Cobhams
Asuquo, Joan Ekpai, Olaitan Dada and everybody that made this a success. This is
indeed, a watershed moment!.”
Timi is currently preparing for ‘The Evening’, a fund raising concert for people living with disabilities, scheduled for the 17th of November at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya. |
