Last Friday morning Miss Vivacity caught up with MR OluMaintain during his brief stopover in London on his way to Hawii to prep for his next video.
The conversation was all about ‘NAWTI’ Olu’s latest single for which the video was released 9 days ago.
The video has created a phenomenal wave with YouTube views exceeding 120k in its first 6 days.
“Personally I have released many leading Nigerian artistes’ videos but I
have never seen this number of views in such a short time”- Kemi Vivacity
The single NAWTI was inspired by and derived from Olu’s new movement NAWTI, and due to this the video has sparked many controversial questions.
Was Natalie Nunn the best choice for the video?
Is Natalie Nunn is an attention whore?
Does Natalie Nunn represent NAWTI?
Was the bum bum shaking in the video excessive and too explicit?
Where the girls in the video too light skin to be Natural African Women?
Are Nigerians too critical?
And loads ‘more...........
Olu returns back London this Thursday 9th Feb 2012 to spend the weekend with his UK fans. To get in touch with Olu while he is in London email ann@vivacitypr.com.
ABOUT NAWTI
NAWTI is a driving force that aims at building a world where the ideas of every African woman are realized. We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes us unique among world organizations, and unique among those working with the young, middle aged and elderly. NAWTI upholds the Convention on the creativity and unhindered versatility of women. NAWTI works to assure platforms for goals achievement, girls and women in particular.
NAWTI are advocates of the Global Movement for women– a broad coalition dedicated to improving the life of every woman in every facet of life. Through this movement, and series of events and functions that will be specially organised, we encourage young people, middle aged people and the elderly, to join the initiative, speak out and participate in the decisions that affect their lives.
NAWTI AIMS
NAWTI aims to create, advocate, support and help establish platforms to give women the best start in life, because proper orientation at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future.
NAWTI aims to promote women orientation– ensuring that they are in line with information as a minimum – because it benefits all women, both the young and the elderly. Women who are supported and inspired grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, better parents to their own children and greater contributors to the society and the world at large.
NAWTI GOALS
Some goals of the Foundation are to assist women to acquire greater control over knowledge, resources, and institutions; facilitate women's greater participation in political processes and governance; transform social attitudes and behaviour for a responsive and supportive social environment to address women's concerns and development; develop an enabling environment with strong civil society organizations to support women at the community level and district levels; undertake advocacy with public servants and public representatives for gender responsive development planning, supportive legislation and increasing women's access to development and government services.
NAWTI involve anyone and everyone in supporting women to achieve their goals, ambitions and dreams. We are present to motivate and inspire all women through the process of self actualization because no woman should be disallowed from contributing her quota to the world.
