Do y’all ever start worshipping God and suddenly burst into tears? Not because you’re hurting but because He’s been so good to you over and over again even when you know you don’t deserve it. 😩😭🙌🏾 His grace, mercy and love overwhelm me every time. I love Him so much.
Michael was not just Niniola's manager/husband.
He was a legend. An OG. One of the people who was in the game before many even knew there was a game.
Michael created @naijareview. This was back when music blogging was still a thing, before “Afrobeats to the world,” before the global spotlight, before the industry became what it is today. He was already there, giving Nigerian artists a platform and pushing Nigerian music with real commitment.
@naijareview was instrumental in creating space for music promotion, management, discovery, and distribution. Michael did the work behind the scenes, and a lot of young Afrobeats fans today may not fully understand how much people like him helped build the foundation this industry now stands on.
The industry has lost a pioneer. A true legend. Someone who gave so much before the applause came.
Rest in peace, Michael. You deserve your flowers, even in passing. My deepest condolences to Niniola, his family, and everyone in the industry who knew and loved him.
