Vibe NG presents: Now You Simi


So as part of my day job (lol), I contributed to the building of this lovely master piece about one of the most phenomenal songbirds out of Nigeria.
It is the sophomore edition of the www.vibe.ng digital cover with Ycee as the debut cover star for December 2016.
It was an utmost honour to interview Simi for the January 2017 edition and it would mean so much to me if you could peep the story...which I also wrote. 
She shared very juicy gist about her love life, her music strategies and more.
There are a couple of other amazing articles within the cover that will definitely leave you entertained and educated. Feel free to share your constructive comments too!

Some Ointment For Your Broken Spirit

This too shall pass...
You will smile again.
This is not the end.
I write from a very low place. Only beauty here is the fact that I see and feel exactly what you see and feel. I guess the sad days play their own part in this mystery called life. Truth is, there's a lot of sadness in the world right now... The wars, America, the recession in Nigeria, etc. Then there's the regular everyday trouble...Like the one I am currently going through right now. You know,sometimes it is easy to feel bad when you remember that many people are going through far worse things. But, your sadness is valid. If it breaks the spirit, it breaks the spirit. If it hurts the soul, It hurts the soul. Whether it is a bullet or a harsh word, if it causes tears of pain to well up your eyes, it is valid.
It definitely seems as though this is the lowest for you. You are probably saying to yourself "It cannot get any worse". Well that is completely untrue. 
If there is one thing that I console myself with every time I am down (which is becoming quite a stretch)it is the fact that your sperm did not win just for you to be sad your entire life.
There has to be a reason right?
You are not alone.
You are tougher than your situation.
Time will heal you.
