About the song, she said, “So many things go on around the world now and in Africa we tend to focus on our negative side and that breaks my heart. Every country has its own problems but they don’t tell you how bad it is, but we tend to blow things out of proportions. Focusing on our negative sides does a lot of damage to us but we are a happy people. And I just wanted to focus on Lagos as a Center of Excellence as it is and celebrate it. My song, Lagos, came to be as a result of that image for Africa to make the world see us with the goodness and excellence imbedded in it.”
