While
the current video of popular singer, Ashley Stephanie, ‘Molo Molo’ is
still making waves in Nigeria and other parts of the world, the
USA-based Cameroonian singer who has an in-depth love for Nigeria has
finally relocated to Nigeria to have a close link with her fans.
Giving the reasons behind her
decision, the sexy, international singer, and electrifying entertainer
squealed that she aimed at settling in Nigeria to promote her musical
career and as well motivate the women in the Nigerian music industry to
buckle up and take their position which is currently dominated
by their male counterparts.
“Africans in the Diaspora,”
she said, “need to come back to their root. We have put a lot in the
international music world. We need to bring some of those goodies back
home, that’s why I am here. I have been in Calabar carnival for four
consecutive years, sharing same stage with some top African music stars,
like PSquare, Awilo and co.
“Americans are looking up to
Africans because we have good music and fierce dance moves. However,
there is something lacking in the African music: the women. The males in
the industry are dominating. I think it’s about time female singers
came out of their shells and fought for a position too. We have so much
love and respect for our male colleagues, but we also need a better
share of the attention.
“Nigeria should expect more
from me because I am here to stay. I have devoted 70 percent of myself
and time to Nigeria while 30 percent goes to the rest of world,’’ she
said.
