A reader came to my other blog, 'It Was So Much Easier When I Only Had One...' and commented that Asa had a new song on the airwaves. As Asa is one of Nigeria's most respected contemporary artists, I had to go find the track.
"The Place To Be" is such a smooth and uplifting song and bound to put most people in a good mood. The song is being used by Nigeria's Guaranteed Trust Bank (GTB) in their current advertising campaign. If you notice, the word "Guaranteed" is sprinkled within the song. Being that I am a large supporter of entertainers leveraging their brand to make money and expand their fan base outside of their niche, I commend GTB for taking advantage of Asa's writing and musical talent. I also hope they paid her handsomely, because their association with her highly successful brand only makes them look better.
I desperately wanted a video to put on the blog for readers and so asked fellow blogger Olamild, of Olamild Entertainment to make a video. Thank you, Olamild for kindly humoring my request and making it possible for readers to hear this song and thank you as well for including lyrics. Please visit Olamild Entertainment to gain in depth information and read interviews from your favorite Nigerian artists in the world of music, theater, poetry, film and entertainment.
That being said, enjoy.
And as a side note, I hope that Akunyili and the entire 'Rebrand-22' team (thanks Plastiqq for that term), will soon reveal a little more of how they plan on re-/branding the nation. Regardless of their plans, Nigerians themselves will somehow manage to achieve that goal by themselves is the powers that be stay out of the way.

20 Curiosities. Add Yours.:
I had the song on repeat all thru yesterday evening from Jaguda.com.. Asa and MI for remind me of Leroi Jones -- lines that rhyme and make sense on multiple levels....
Interesting song. Asa just never fails to impress me. The music is powerful in its lyrics. I wonder if she did it just for GTB or GTB used it for thier Ad?
Lovely Track.. Can't stop listening to it... Someone already made remix to it and sent it over...

First of all I would like to say excellent blog!
I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your
mind prior to writing. I have had a tough time
clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any recommendations or tips? Many thanks!
