As a nigerian in US, I am very impressed with Ebro's afrobeats musical expertise! We love Davido and would continue to support his success!!! Hope he is healed from his recent trauma and we are ready for his comeback 😊Our culture has so many talents and its about time we share it with the world. 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬

As a Nigerian living in Nigeria I am always impressed by Ebro's knowledge of African music and culture, shocked to learn he has not been to lagos before. The dude declared "essence" the song of the summer on complex brackets that was bold.

Ebro’s famous line “shout out to Africa man”

[@yemid3904]

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3:16 If you are yet be saved please make this confession. Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, that you died on the cross to rescue me from sin and death and to restore me to the Father. I confess and repent of my sins. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. I give myself to you in Jesus name. Amen Welcome into the family of God.

It's time to enter into the Wakanda wonder of Africa and see the plethora of talents and the can-do spirits of the massive young population.
