“Ughelli to the World will feature a lineup of Nigeria’s top celebrities, including AY, Gordon’s, Erigga, Nas Boi, Oritsefemi, Kelvinsap, Edo Pikin, Mr. Paul, and many others,” said Whalemouth. “It’s more than just a show, it’s a platform to inspire the next generation to embrace their creativity and rise above negative influences.”

A Mission to Reclaim Ughelli’s Legacy

MC St. Louis, another leader of the initiative, emphasized its significance in restoring Ughelli’s lost glory. “This initiative isn’t just entertainment, it’s a call to action,” he said. “An idle hand is the devil’s workshop, and through this project, we are engaging youths positively, helping them rediscover their talents and purpose.”

Louis pointed out that many individuals involved in cultism have untapped potential. By providing a platform to showcase and develop their talents, the initiative aims to redirect their energy toward more productive and fulfilling paths.

This project is about showing them a different path, one of creativity, purpose, and self-discovery.”
