Nosa Shadrax Omoregie hails from Benin in Edo State. He began his
journey into the world of music at the tender of age of 7. With age he
moved up to writing rap lyrics and immersing himself in popular culture.
But he was restless. He was aware of his talent but hadn’t found a
satisfying channel until he found his spirituality.
Joining the choir, rap was transformed into fluid melody and
substance and he soon began producing and composing pieces. Nosa
flourished. Driven by his spirituality, his talent found its purpose in
inspiring his audience with words of hope and promoting awareness to
incite change.
Even as a devoted and full-time (Christian) Minister, his message has not changed.
In celebration of Nigeria’s 52 tumultuous years post-independence,
Chocolate City presents to you N-I-G-E-R-I-A – a song written, produced
and arranged by Nosa.
“I didn’t want to address what others address in their songs. The
bad roads, poor power supply, e.t.c. are not the problem of the
country; it is the wrong mindset, [and] low level of patriotism. It is a
systematic problem whereby everyone is involved, whether directly or
indirectly. Bad citizenry can never produce good leadership. So this
song was [written to] buttress my hope in a better Nigeria, which will
come through a new mindset and [a] new attitude. – NOSA
