My popular local music; Akwa Ibom Ayaya by Mish

Akwa Ibom Ayaya means Akwa Ibom is beautiful, is a music by a youth in my country, He sang and encourage everyone to appreciate Akwa Ibom State, there is no place like home. No Matt how things are with you in another country remember your hometown some local foods and drinks can help calm down your anxiety and help you remain focus in life. Like our local palm wine🍷iTS so refreshing and healthy, local meals etc.

Second popular local music; Adulthood na scam by Lade

So many youths believe in depending on parents or relative for support and care, especially the ladies but it is not encouraging as things are going from bad to worse so many people don't have so even those you depended on don't really have again. And when you sit to calculate your expenses you will be discouraged why all of sudden you become adult 🤣Also you will have other people that depend on you too for support in addition to your expenses you will feel like being a child again 🤠 it is not easy life is difficult in Nigeria 😭😭 so with this, Lade the musician sang "Adulthood is scam" she said she feel like becoming a child again since everything is being provided to a child. She also encourages all the youth to wake up and work hard because things are hard, with this her music became so popular because her lyrics affect almost all the adult in the country now.it is a pity 😭🤦🙆

Listen to her music below, please this video is gotten from her YouTube channel

Music is so powerful that can do what is not possible, it is used to communicate between two or more people. I really enjoyed music and I do sing too, it helps relieve our stress helps us calm and more relax. So if you don't like listening to music please do so you will enjoy it.
