MAN AMONGST MEN ( TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER )



                                        MAN AMONGST MEN
Words truly cannot describe who you are and what you mean to me. The world describe you with many sweet names but you are more than that. They say you are a great man but to me you are GREATNESS, some say you are a hero but to me, you are THE HERO. Your life is an inspiration, your impact is immeasurable, your memory is indelible. Truly you have lived a life worth emulating. You inspired hope in hopelessness, courage in the fear and strength in weakness. Your love for God is evident in the way you loved and treated everyone around you. You are a man with the heart of Gold. A man with clean hands. Your birth was a blessing to planet earth and your passing on to glory is even a greater blessing because of the impact you have made and lives touched within the short time you spent on earth. Life they say is not in its duration but in its donation to humanity. You did not just exist, you lived. Today I am happy rather than being sad. I am encouraged and consoled not only by the fact that I know you but especially the privilege of being your son. I celebrate greatness, I celebrate impact, I celebrate influence, I celebrate you. I carefully addressed you in the present even though I know you are gone, because I learnt early in life that LEGENDS don’t die and you are a testimony to this fact. You will not only just live in our hearts, but you will be recorded in history as the greatest man that ever lived and generations yet unborn will hear and read of you. Now I fully understood that you were an “enigma” to many because you were not just a man but “A MAN AMONGST MEN”
I love you dad but God loves you most and till we meet again, rest on in your father’s bosom. Good night daddy.
AMACHREE IKIJANA ALEEXANDER.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC::: THE OTHER SIDE OF CONSISTENCY

SCHOOL OF MUSIC::: THE OTHER SIDE OF CONSISTENCY.. Recently I was listening to some songs I received from some young artistes and I really felt that these songs have the potential to go farther, reach more people and make more impact than it has done. I even listened to two songs of this Abuja based artiste and everytime I listened to those songs, I am convinced that this song has everything it takes to go viral. I recently sent one of the songs to a friend and he told me that the song has been on repeat ever since, he asked me for the name of the artiste so he could get more of his songs. You see erhn, one of the saddest things I have seen, observed or noticed with gospel artistes especially the young ones, is the rush to drop new songs. They are in a hurry to abandon the old songs they have released and start planning and pursuing the release of a new song. Some of these songs they have abandoned and rush off to drop new songs actually hold the key to their breakthrough but because t...

SCHOOL OF MUSIC - THE STRUGGLE FOR RELEVANCE AFTER BLOWING

SCHOOL OF MUSIC ::: THE STRUGGLE FOR RELEVANCE AFTER BLOWING Recently I have been thinking a lot about some artistes who dropped Hits back then and went extinct. Truth is that they are actually active in music but you don't get to hear them because they have no more hits. Yes many of them are releasing and promoting their songs ooooo but for where? You don't get to hear them because the songs are not blowing again. To figure out how to address the matter, we have to first know what their problem really is. The real problem is that these guys blow by accident. Accident is never an organized structure to replicate. If you blow by accident and be thinking it is grace, you will struggle for years to make another hit until you go extinct. Hit songs are created intentionally and if you don't know how this works, you are in for struggle. When Psquare broke up, I told people that Paul Rudeboy will be more relevant in music than Peter P Classic. I got to know that Rudeboy was respon...
