Posted on Saturday, February 7th, 2009 at 8:16 PMBy BellaNaija.com
Top Nigerian music talent: Tuface, Timaya, Banky W, Timi Dakolo, Tosin Martins, Omawumi, Sasha & MI have come together to record a song for Mo Abudu’s Inspire Africa Foundation. The song, ‘Save the World, Save the Child’ was produced by the multi-talented Cobhams Asuquo. Comparisons can be drawn to the world famous ‘We Are The World’ but this song is distinctly Nigeria as it addresses various plights of Nigerian children. All the artistes along with Asa, 9ice, Carl Thomas, D’Banj and Donnell Jones also performed at the Inspire Africa benefit concert last week. The concert was supported by the Lagos State Government and UNICEF.
All proceeds from the song and concert will be donated to programmes for Nigerian street children.

do you have anything against Asa? she cancelled most of her engagement to be at the concert. i think she is worth been mentioned, what do you think?
I totally agree, let’s not segregate…celebrate!
ASA!!!!!!
if u click on the poster you can clearly see all the artiste performing!!
i’d like to see Dbanj in concert again!!he is such an entertainer
Asa is way too cool…i love 9ice too!!!
i HOPE the proceeds really goes to the right place o!
this concert was a damn waste of N100k!!! wasnt impressed at all!!
The song is nice but not original. Why do they have to repeat phrases from their original songs or even use “we are the world” anywhere in the song?
100K..mehn.. u naija folk know how to shell out money o..anyway they said its for charity abi?ok now
Nigerians, you guys are doing BIG things! I ADMIRE all your positive and innovative ways…Keep doing what you are doing and hopefully the rest of the African continent will follow on your footsteps….You inspire me so much all of y’all. HEADS UP!
the song is very nice and sounds very original, so what if they used we are the world a few times. And how can anyone say shelling 100k for a good cause is a waste?
Nice song. Is it on itunes?
the song is cool and I believe the proceeds will go to the right place , Mo is a great woman. she is doing so well!
Nigerians Will always be Nigerians….. You do not like anything good. Why speak evil about the song you all if e easy go sing your own song make we see as e go dey….. Na only mad men go buy am….. me i don talk my own. Abi e get were dem say we must show ourself
Please, the song is original, nobody I repeat, nobody owns that phrase “We are the world”…I’m sure our parents and grandparents have been using that phrase long b4 MJ…plus wat repeat phrases do u hear other than “Unu ge gbum madu”…besides there is nothing wrong with that..it is like saying b’cos I use the phrase “Let’s get together” in one song, I cannot use it in another…abeg
