Michael Udegbi – Ndi Nwelu Ogwu

You can count on the peanut gallery to step up when success knocks on your door and the money starts to flow like the River Niger. We get a spicy dose of reality with a dash of rhythm in Chief Michael Udegbis most recent Igbo Highlife song Ndi Nwelu Ogwu.

This song is a commentary on envy and the strange Nigerian custom of attributing hard-earned success to juju but its more than just music. . Egwu Ekpili maestro Chief Udegbi of Eziagu Enugu State is unreserved in his remarks. Using catchy harmonies and witty lyrics he tells his story while criticizing backbiters and gossipers who dont think hard work leads to success. They believe that if youre outperforming your friends your wealth must have veered off course and into the diabolical. . .

The beauty of Ndi Nwelu Ogwu however is that its a victory dance rather than merely a reaction. In addition to celebrating the results of hard work Udegbi provides the doubters with a beat to wag their tongues to.

The song which is a sequel to his highly acclaimed debut Ibalu Mmonwu is evidence that he isnt slowing down. If anything his success story is getting louder. More than just its Ekpili songs Ndi Nwelu Ogwu serves as a reminder to maintain your composure and let the critics enjoy themselves—while you continue to make money.

That being said hum a line from this song and let the music do the talking the next time someone tries to minimize your success. It is the anthem of hustlers winners and of course misunderstood and it was written by Chief Michael Udegbi. Let the critics continue they too require a soundtrack!
