GIFT Iyumame Uwame,
popularly known as Muma Gee, is getting prepared for her music concert tagged
‘Help Save a Life Relief Concert with Muma Gee’. The concert which is being
staged in conjunction with Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State is
slated to kick-off today, 4th of November while another one is slated for the 18th
of November which incidentally is Muma Gee’s birthday.
Speaking at an event
recently, the artiste who was moved to tears at the plight of displaced people
affected by recent flooding, said there is an urgent need to save the lives of
displaced people of which she herself is a victim.
“A lot of people have been
suffering and they’ve been rendered homeless due to flooding. If the United
Nation does not come to our aid, the post-flooding side effects will pose a
huge health hazard to our people living in areas affected by flooding,
especially those in the Niger Delta. My family members are victims of the
recent floods that have ravaged most parts of the Niger Delta.
“This is the time for us to
pull resources together and call on well-meaning Nigerians to contribute their
quotas towards making life more meaningful to those affected by the recent
floods. We want the United Nations to come to our aid and I know if this had
happened in Sierra Leone, the UN would have
intervened.” She added in an emotion-laden voice.
Meanwhile, Muma Gee is
currently recording an album entitled Motherland which was due for release in
February but was halted in order to add the theme song ‘Iji’ (which means
floods), to raise funds for the victims affected by floods.
