Media practitioner and lawyer Ebuka Obi-Uchendu set off a series of tweets about the year 2007 that will make many of us feel old and thankful for all the great Nigerian music that came out that year.
Ten years ago, Ebuka was a year removed from finishing third at the first (and only till date) Big Brother Nigeria reality show.
Since even he can’t believe all that was a decade ago.
Hard to believe 2007 was 10 years ago.

The song that made PSquare African superstars. It’s still an anthem in many countries across the continent. Featuring the voice of Wajé pic.twitter.com/4QLWUxaaG4
