In a unique synergy, popular Gospel artiste, Anny, and the Niger-Delta Development Commission, NDDC, have partnered to further push the message of peace across the country and even outside the shores of Nigeria.
Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Anny said she was moved to act when she saw that the peaceful cities and environment where she was born and grew up had become unlivable and unsafe for the people and what better thing for her to do that than through her music. And hence she recorded a song, Peace Around the World, in order to carry her message across more effectively.
The song which was produced by Dr Frabz has an all-star cast featuring Sammie Okposo, Onos, Essence, Lamboginny, Charles Granville, Jaywon, Sultan, Ibitayo Jeje, Sabina and Henrisoul. The video was shot in Lagos by Frizzle and Bizzle.
“The song was is not just about me, I needed to bring in people from different areas and different religions in Nigeria. I brought in artistes; my friends and colleagues with similar visions with me, from different ethnic groups to lend their voices to my message of peace in Nigeria and around the world,” Anny said.
The pretty singer’s idea later caught the interest of NDDC which later bought into the peace message of the song and its video and agreed to help project it to the people.
Ibitayo Abosede, Head of Corporate Development, NDDC, reiterated the commission’s commitment to the progress and development of the country no matter the area.
Abosede noted that NDDC was willing to support any person or group with an idea or project that would help foster peace and love among the people.
Anny added that there was a line-up of activities including visits to prisons, a road walk in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Lagos and Kano, and outreaches to ghettos.
