In a
timely response to the global call for the release of the abducted Chibok girls
and the restoration of peace in Nigeria, galaxy of stars under the umbrella of
2face Idibia's Million Voices for Peace (MVP) project have recorded a song to
articulate their call for peace and unity and raise funds to support the work
of the Nigerian Red Cross.
MVP on this song features 2face Idibia,
Precision Productions (Trinidad & Tobago), Samini (Ghana), K-Slim, PKD,
Squadee (Ghana), Spyke, Sound Sultan, Essence, Righteousman, Jo El, Ferre Galo
(DRC) and Machel Montano (Trinidad & Tobago).
Idibia,
speaking from France stated thus: "The call for the safe return of the
Chibok Girls and real work towards peace building must be sustained. This is
just another step in the journey towards the promotion of peace and unity in
our nation and the world."
According
to Efe Omorogbe of Now Muzik/Hypertek Digital/960 MG, coordinator of the
project, this is coming at a very crucial time when the reality of the
situation has hit everyone really hard. This wonderful group of patriots,
supported by their brothers from the sub continent and the Caribbean have done
one better than tweet and shout. We believe the message will reach the people
and that proceeds from sale will help the work of the Red Cross. We also intend
to help mobilize volunteers to turn up and assist the Red Cross and NEMA in
their humanitarian efforts.
We
sincerely thank the artistes for their contribution and also acknowledge the
invaluable support Mamadie Kobele Keita, Winnie Kigara, Kasey Phillips, Keke
Ogungbe, Pamela Braid, Leslie Quaynor, Sola Animashaun, Emma Eboigbe, Justin
Ukaegbu and the team at Now Muzik, Hypertek Digital/960 Music Group and the
2face Idibia Reach-Out Foundation.
