Last Friday at the Aqua 27 club in Victoria Island, Lagos, Niger Delta gospel songbird, Kefee Obareki hosted friends and fans to a treat in celebration of her 30th birthday, alongside the official listening of her new single, Sapele Water. Sapele water is a slang commonly used by people of the South-South to refer to ‘liquor’ or ‘Ogogoro’.

It was a brilliant night of glitz and inspiration as some of Nigeria ’s most prominent citizens gathered to celebrate youth who are making the nation proud in sections including science, technology, business, the
media and others at the 2010 edition of the nation’s premier youth event, The Future Awards.

If you’re yet to hear his latest single ‘Something About You’, chances are that you don’t live in Nigeria. It’s jamming in the clubs, taking over the streets, and is a first choice filler on the Nigerian air waves.

The journey has been that of grace. I think that is the best way to put it. The journey has been that of mercy of the faithfulness of the Almighty God, the plenitude of His grace. I think that is just the way to put it. It has been grace, grace all the way.

Tomorrow at the Shell Hall of the MUSON Centre, Lagos, selected bright youths will gather to decorate 20 young people in 20 different categories at a colourful get-together dubbed The Future Awards 2010.
