Beautiful Nubia; the most unrivaled talented yet underappreciated musician to ever come out of the Nigerian Soil.

Thread.

Segun Akinlolu, a doctor of Philosophy formed his own music genre known as "Contemporary Folk and Roots" in 1997 after practicing as a Veterinary Doctor for 8years. He adopted his stage name in homage to the exploits and glory of ancient Nubia.

A lover of nature, he has since the beginning of his musical career sang about everything there is to be said about mankind.

With the uniqueness and richness of his sound, he has been able to touch every aspect of living on Earth and even transcends to the greater beyond.

The depth of his music sometimes can be misunderstood by mere mortals.

Because to understand the message clearer and better sometimes, you have to be spiritual and in line with the depth of the maker of the music you are listening to.

In 1997, he released his first music album (Seven Lifes) which had 10 tracks.

He had a small fan base because as at then, the people who understood his sound were fewer than those who didn't.

Two years later, he went on to release another album titled Voice From Heaven.

Over the subsequent years, he released the following albums.

Jangbalajugbu (2002)
Awilele (2004)
Fere (2006)
Kilòkilò (2007)

It will be very disrespectful to name top 5 greatest musicians that has ever come out of Nigeria and not mention Beautiful Nubia.

He has sang it all and maintained the quality of his sound regardless of how a lot of Nigerians have not given him their attention

His words; Old as time
The meaning; weighty as a rock yet light as a winged thing.

I am happy to be a part of the group of people who will be able to beat their chest and say " I know him, I heard him sing and I sang along" when the next generation asks "Who is Beautiful Nubia?"

Thank you for your time taken to read this thread. Do well and Retweet for others.
