VIDEO: “I will back my daughter and sell tomatoes” -Omawumi

It was a delightful session with pop star,
Omawumi Megbele in the last episode of
Rubbin’ Minds, as host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu
tackled her on issues regarding her personal
life, career, motherhood, upcoming concert and
other hot topics.
Megbele spoke about her upcoming concert,
‘Lasso of Truth’, which she said will be a
mixture of fun, variety of emotions and soulful
performances. Not leaving behind what she
referred to as the most important thing in her
life, her daughter, Omawumi stated that no
matter what becomes of her career, she will
always make a way for her daughter.
Obi-Uchendu steps up talk-TV with this one.

Nigeria’s pop diva; Omawumi in this week’s
episode of Rubbin’ Minds revealed her humble
background which she is very proud of, as she
narrates her growing up while cooking Nkwobi
and Isi Ewu and as well tendering for customers
at her mother’s ‘glorified beer parlour’ in Warri,
Delta state.
Famed for her regular use of Pidgin English, the
West African Idol explains her choice of
expression, claiming it saves hers when
sometimes “I just hook”. She also notes that it
(Pidgin English) is a major ‘selling point’ for
people from the Niger Delta where she hails
from and that English language is not her
language.
Omawumi also discussed about the dawn of her
music career at the West African Idol and also
opened up on her sophomore album and
forthcoming concert.
