A new musical album, entitled ‘Mummy’ has been released in Calabar by a reporter with The New Telegraph newspaper, Mr. Clement James.

The album renounces wife-battery which has become common place in society, and which many women have silently endured over time. James through his songs also admonishes the male folk to respect their wives and walk away in moment of anger.

In 2014, he waxed a campaign song for Senator Ben Ayade when he campaigned for governorship.

Tracks in the album include ‘Parasites in Paradise,’ a track which mirrors the deceit of politicians who while pretending to serve the public, are actually serving themselves.

‘Mary’ is another track in the album which tells a story of a young lady who ran away from her boyfriend to meet a wealthy man only to return to her former friend when the wealthy man’s money finished.

‘Landlord’ reminds Nigerians about the perpetual greed of Nigerian house owners who have continued to take advantage of the poverty of Nigerians, but most importantly, the inability of governments at various levels to take any serious steps to alleviate the current housing shortfall in the country. 

James said that four more songs are in the offing and may follow in the months to come.
