 Alright, welcome back. It is still the run up and we're having a very talented young man with us this morning. He is a musical artist. He also creates content, does many things. You know these talented people, you know the way to catch them. And with us this morning is Colour Boy. Hello Colour Boy, good morning. Okay, your name is Colour Boy and when I heard about you the first time I was like does it you call her a lot or what? Why did you decide to use the name Colour Boy as your stage name as a pair? Yeah, I've gotten a question like that a lot. When I was starting my career independently, one of the first songs I recorded back then was called Orgy. I mean why Colour Not? Colour Not from the word Colour Not. So Colour Not means Orgy in Ibo language. I thought the first trap was Colour Was Orgy which means Colour Not. And then Colour Not represents something great in, where I come from, the East. There is literally no meeting without a Colour Not. So there is a saying, he who brings Colour brings life. I recorded that song. I found out that people started calling me Colour Boy. I wasn't there in the name Colour Boy then. I was there in the name Onyx. But somehow someway people started calling me Colour Boy and then at the point I just had to switch to and I got a real meaning from the word Colour, from the Colour Not meaning. It actually made so much sense to go with the name Colour Boy here. Alright, let's talk about the recent tour that you went for at the East. You had just come back from Enugu and of course you have a very recent body of work. Your EP had just dropped and unfortunately I couldn't be there for the listening party but just tell us about it, the listening party and the EP. Okay, the listening party was held last, that should be last two weeks in Enugu Stames. The title of the EP is Colour from the East. Five songs featuring Flavor, Annie Dawn's, MCO and Ojadilibu. The idea of the EP was actually to create something that kind of bridges the gap between the old ancestral sound and the modern sound. Just like the song by Maliq and the one that was dropped before the EP. I found out that even if the song was able to cut across both the old and the new, so everybody could relate to the song. It's not just like it was made for the older generation, it was made just for the new generation. So what my brand is trying to do is to bring that ancestral sound and then more like the future of the ancestral sound and the new modern sounds. Okay, Colour, we like a situation in Plus TV where we bring people that are not that... The Nigerian Palence is blue, you know, never blue like that. But we like to discover talents and sell the talents to the world. But the world that we want you to be a part of will have to make very informed choices in the political space. And we're wondering with the influence that you're beginning to gather, you know, when you're collaborating with Flavor and the rest of the big names, it means that you're somewhere there. We are wondering how much of this influence you're also using to educate people of your ilk, people of your type, people of your kind of profession and all that to get involved in electioneering in politics and making sure especially that the defining year of 2023 is what we want it to be, to take Nigeria to El Dorado. So how much involved are you in the politics of Nigeria? I would say, like, from my own end, I've been doing everything I could, you know, to sensitize people about how important it is to get involved in, you know, exercising their rights as citizens of Nigeria, the ones that are of age, we've been involved in activities, a whole lot of them, trying to sensitize people to get their PVCs and everything to get ready for voting because we can't just keep complaining every time we're the youth, we have to be fully involved. And I've done a couple of things too, you know, during the registration was going on, I had to go down to a lot of locations, you know, because I feel when you are an influential person, people tend to like, it's kind of, every move or every activity you get involved in kind of influences a lot of people who come to you. So I had to go, even though I had registered before, I still had to make some moves and go to just let people know that, okay, this is the right thing for us to do. And I would keep doing such too, yeah, I would keep doing such, yeah. Yeah, but you know, 23-3 is coming, I'm just wondering, if you were to select a president, what kind of qualities would you want in a president as a person now? First of all, I think someone, we first of all, we need a younger person, right? We need a younger person and then we need someone that has a different ideology and perspective of the whole thing about governance. Because what we've had so far, we've had people that had this tribal mentality and we've had people that actually, we've had selfless leaders to be sincere. We need someone that understands the fact that what we need now is just to rebuild a country that is almost gone and not someone that is no center or someone that wants, because that's the word we always hear, we very much want to go there to get a national kick and that's not the kind of person we need here right now. We need someone that understands, that understands the mess that the country is in right now. Someone that actually understands that this is beyond religion, this is beyond capitalism, this is beyond ethnicity, this is, I don't know, it's not what I mean though. I'm not the one to share the right terminologies and put just someone that is selfless. Alright, thank you so much Colour Boy. Over time, you've proven that you're a very traditional person and we see how you infuse that in your music. It's a very beautiful thing actually for a young man in your age brackets to understand the place of culture and it's also beautiful to know that you're very interested in the political end of things also, you're not just in the entertainment sector, you're using your influence to be a part of politics and governance. That is a very beautiful thing. Thank you so much Colour Boy for coming on the run-up this morning and we have your video on Malichad that will be coming up very soon. We hope that you continue the great work that you're doing. Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Well ladies and gentlemen, you're watching us right now and before the news you saw the lofty things that a young lady was doing, Grace and Quachar there was doing something with the young ones in Ajegunle and hopes to replicate all this in all the local governments of Lagos state and possibly the entire Nigeria. You too can do something no matter how young you are. Colour is doing it, Grace is doing it, what are you doing? Well, as we wrap up, I hope that tomorrow that you're going to be a part of the program again. My name is Nyamgul Agadje. And as we round up with our Malicha video, my name is Uche Chuku Onadu to have yourself a wonderful day ahead.
