Elections are here. This is a reminder from Esure

"2014 has run its course and like years before it; gone into history. These years may be gone but the effects they left have shaped our lives as individuals and collectively as a nation, into whatever we can describe as... Good/Bad; Excellent/Poor; Rosy/Gloomy." - Esure

Now that we’re in a new year, the actions we take will further cement our status. This one is even more significant as we have elections coming up; Elections bring stagnancy or progress or change (etc.) depending on events before and after them. Therefore, here and now, we have another opportunity to rewrite our story and redefine ourselves... or stay the same. The choice is ours!”

This summarises the message in this new conscious single “IDIBO DE” by Corporate Executive/Label Owner/Music Producer/Exemplary Guitarist ESURE.

IDIBO DE highlights the common happenstances on our political landscape in Nigeria where politicians only remember the masses they are voted in to serve when election time comes. It gives a reflective insight to the mind of an average Nigerian on lessons learnt from the past and mindset going forward... Do enjoy, perhaps you too might learn something.

Mercy Johnson Okojie sends new year message to fans

By Unknown11:50No comments

'I Am Grateful' Mercy Johnson Okojie writes in her new year message to fans. Read below...

One of the best feelings one can have is the feeling that some people who have never met you in person have your back. I have experienced love from unimaginable people; Ghana, Liberia, Paris, UK, USA, Seychelles and all over the world.

Some met me crying, gave me gifts, took pictures, asked questions, and some, not so pleasant. But in all of these, I have no complaint because being where I am is a gift and privilege by God. A privilege and a place I never thought I would be, a few years ago.

This level has its own attendant consequence, as I take in the blessing; I appreciate the not-so-pleasant side as well. For this, I am grateful to God, my fans, and stakeholders in the industry who love me just the way I am.

I want to also say a very big thank you to my husband for giving me room to fly. Some men out there would probably have clipped my wings but Odi is not some kind of man. I want to say thank you for being so supportive and understanding.

I want to take this time to say thank you to everyone who made the journey of 2014 easier despite the attendant challenges. I am grateful to the marketers and my colleagues who stayed in touch with me even when I was pregnant, directors who were patient with me, fans who watched all the movies of 2014, those who took time out to search for me on Google, who corrected me in love and those who watched ‘30 Days in Atlanta’ (to make it biggest Nollywood movie in cinema history). I am also grateful to everyone who showed me one form of love or the other during the birth of our second son, Prince Henry: Nigerian Emabssy in the US, social media followers and my ever diligent media and management company, Bigsam Media.

I plan and hope that 2015 will be different from previous years. The jobs I will do will be slightly different from that of the past. I will take up more challenges. I will also have to balance things out because I still have to play the role of a wife and mother, but all in all, there should be a new Mercy Johnson of sort.

As per the style, I have received all your complaints and I will try and improve but please, do not forget I am just a down-to-earth-girl-next-door. Thank you.

And please, AMVCA is around the corner, let’s win again together this year, on how to vote, check @bigsammedia on Twitter.

As always I am grateful. I wish you the best this year has to offer. Happy New Year.

Bigsam Media

For: Mercy Johnson
