Jana Habida (Kenya) aliungana na Ambwene Yesaya aka AY nchini Afrika Kusini kwa ajili ya chakula cha mchana cha pamoja. AY anayerejea leo kutoka Afrika Kusini alienda kufanya video ya wimbo wake mpya lakini hatujui Habida alienda huko kufanya nini japo ni kati ya kufanya video pia ama show!
Amekuwa kimya kwa muda lakini leo ameamua kuwasimulia mashabiki wake kuhusiana na safari yake kama alivyoandika hapo chini kupitia mtandao wake uitwao habidasworld.wordpress.com
Hello everyone,
Firstly i want to say sorry for being so quiet. I have been
shooting videos, recording music and traveling Africa (big smile). I haven’t
even had time to look at myself in the mirror.
Well like i said i have been traveling and i tell you i
really want to tell you about Nigeria. They are an amazing people. I had really
wrong information about the country. I heard i would be harassed coming into
the country, i heard i would be bum rushed by people at the airport that would
rob me, but oh no, it was great! The airport was calm very well organized and
like every other African country over staffed with 2 people doing the job of 1.
The roads from what i remember were really good, i think
they took from the Americans and have their kind of road systems with flyovers
and all. The energy in the place was to die for. Everything was so alive, even
just watching from the van on the drive to the hotel you could tell the place
was hot, like if i had to give Nigeria a
colour it would be red. The artists including myself were taken into a kind of
estate where, just like in Kenya most houses are in estates, you drive in a
gate and there are several gates inside with houses. Now when we stoped by the
gate i was like i suppose we are staying at someones house???when we walked in
the gate was a whole miniature hotel which was really well done. The people and
the service was good in a strange way, the Nigerians have a way about them that
seems abrupt but its just the way they are, you begin to accept it quickly and
you even start to talk like them without even realizing it.
We were taken out of course! and again the night life there
is very alive we walked into one place and it was filled with people dancing,
laughing and singing (live music), comedy and oh man it felt like i was in an
American movie in the 60′s, if you get me. Now coming in to this place you
would not expect this at all. it was again in a sort of estate where you drive
through a security gate the road turns mar-rum when you turn in, there are cars
parked on either side of the road so getting by is not easy and then, this is
the best part, when you walk in there is like a walkway like you know where you
hang clothes in town houses here in Kenya, ya like that and then there are
barbecues roasting meat and then you walk through the next door and there it
is…. life in its true form.
We were announced and we were made to feel very welcome.
That is one thing i will never forget about Nigerians they are so welcoming
sharing and then, as i was told, they would rob you all at the same time but
guess what they do it in a caring way lol. The promoter said to me, even if we
take from you there is no reason why we should hurt you feelings at the same
time!!!! lol i just laughed. So even if i had the most amazing time and felt so
well treated they told me to still be aware lol.
Well, the show we did was amazing, no matter what you say
about Nigerians, they were organized. The show started on time and finished on
time. We had food immediately after the show so they didn’t just let us starve.
They had drinks back stage for those who drink and for those who don’t. They
made sure we were entertained at all times. I mean the hospitality made you
really feel like a star, they appreciated me even if they didn’t know my music,
Great bunch of people I must say.
Nigeria hope to see you again soon.
