One of Nigeria’s most controversial actresses, Shan George has released her debut album. She has also penciled down 17 February 2008 for the launch. The venue is Nightshift Coliseum, Ikeja; Lagos.She confirmed it to http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ this afternoon (25 January, 2007)
According to the Cross River State born mother of two boys, the album launch would definitely be a talk of the town event. She disclosed that several top fashionistas, musicians, actresses, models and important dignitaries would be in attendance. The controversial actress later played the album for yours truly to hear it in her jeep.
Entitled Nkenkene, a word meaning let’s celebrate in her local Buguma dialect, the album is her debut as a musician. She has appeared in close to a hundred home videos.
All the 8 tracks in the album were made in her local dialect. Shan told www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com, that she does not pretend to be the ‘international see it all’ kind of person. She would rather promote the rich culture of Nigeria. The T-shirt she was wearing when I met her on Allen Avenue Ikeja, has the logo of the Nigerian International passport while the back has the inscription “No Shaking”
Shan George has joined the league of top Nigerian actresses who have diversified into music. Others include Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jolade-Ekehinde and Lillian Bach. One of her Shan’s friends told me she has succeeded in showing people that she is a complete entertainer. My camera went to work as the wondrous actress later posed for shots.Thereafter; she zoomed off with Momoh, her younger lover, in a black coloured jeep.

It seems almost all actors are also going into music. Segun Arinze is doing the same as well. Kudos to them. If they've got the talent, why not.
ReplyDeleteI like Shan George. I never knew she was a Cross Riverian like myself. Wow how sweet.
Congrats on your hard work Niyi. I really appreciate these stories. I would introduce your blog to my forum like i did Linda's. It's made up of thousands of people.
You should join facebook as well like someone suggested in your previous post. At least you need it for maximum exposure.
