Babayaro Shoots Music Video
Fri Jul, 03 2009

By Shola Oyeyipo

 

Former Super Eagles goal scorer and Atlanta Olympics Gold medallist, Emmanuel Babayaro is enjoying the euphoria of his recently released singles, and the making of his first music video entitled Naija Area.

The footballer turned musician is set to embark on a trip to Europe to search for exclusive location for his next video while the video launch, where ex-footballers and fans are expected at the event.

The video features Jude Orhorha, the Amata’s, Sound Sultan, 1924, Tolu Devine, Tope Swag, ID Cabasa and other notable entertainment personalities in Nigeria.

Already ID Cabasa has been labeled as the producer Emmanuel Babayaro’s debut album, which is in its formative stages.

Emmanuel Babayaro, who is the elder brother to Celestine Babayaro, said music was his first love before he took to football.

‘’Football is all about entertainment and so is music. Anybody that loves football automatically loves music and movies. Music has always been in me even before football; my parents expected me to become a musician and not a footballer. My parents will tell you that even when I was given birth to, I had the tendencies to entertain. But as far as I can remember in my senses, me and my brother Celestine would dance and perform in parties and weddings while we were still young. I think I was about 10 or 12 then and I was a street dancer”

“It is not a surprise; even my old school mates would tell you the same thing. Right from the U17, U20, U23 and the Super Eagles, Celestine and I were the main entertainers while we were in camp. We always sang, danced and do a lot of other funny things when we were not training”, he said.

Emmanuel fashioned his music after rap and hip hop, which have always been his kind of music and he stated that the full album may be a fusion of Naija Pop, Jazz and hip hop.’

The ex-footballer already has five songs and three more in the making, he is also into acting and movie productions and he strongly believes that the music industry is the most improved in recent times.

Oluchi is an enemy of progress who should bury her face somewhere in shame. It's ridiculous and total disgrace to see things like this in the media and don't be surprised that this Oluchi has never tasted progress in her life...probably living in abject poverty. A complete hater like Oluchi would be hated anywhere. The site admin should delete her comments bcos it's irrelevant to the topic.
