THE late Christy Essien-Igbokwe’s 10-year-old granddaughter, Christiana Igbokwe, has released her third body of work entitled Motherland.

Motherland is coming on the heels of two successful bodies of works entitled ‘Mash-Up’ and ‘Starlight.’

According to Christiana’s mum, Chioma Igbokwe, the new EP tells unique African stories using music while calling for changes and reforms in society.

“Christiana Igbokwe’s new EP Motherland is telling our African stories using music, calling for reforms and change in our faulty systems. As Africans, we are the only people who can liberate ourselves from poverty through education and empowering the girl child.

“Africans must pay the price to rebuild the continent, our rich culture, and history. We must revive our strong family ties, the deep connection to our communities, and our pride in our African music, art, and dance.

“Our roots and our cultural diversity make us who we are. It makes us authentic, keeps us grounded and unique; so that as we interact with others and make international connections, we can build bridges of trust, respect, development, and understanding across cultures.”

The EP which was released on Friday, February 10, 2023, on several digital platforms has tracks that include Dreams, Oge Mme Mme, On God (Agbada), Let’s Change the System, She’s A Woman and Fly.

Christiana Igbokwe is beginning to muster up some new chapters around the music industry and this time, with her third EP, she is sure on her way to emulating her late legendary grandmother who during her time was described as the Lady of Songs. She released a remake of her grandma’s hit single Seun rere in 2022. Seun rere was the theme song for Disney plus movie Rise, a biopic on basketball MVP, Giannis Adetokonbo. Also In 2022, Seun rere was used as the theme song for WhatsApp’s first feature film Naija Odyssey. She is working on an album presently.
