On the 20th of August, I saved a series of memorable tweets from Nnena on twitter. Was supposed to have shared with y’all sooner but was hindered by the problems with the former blog location, as I’d earlier reflected days ago. But here they are anyway:

I’ve always wanted to share the circumstances in which my new single
‘palava’ was written. The song is being loved. I thank God. .

Palava is when you’re about to loose your home for the umpteenth
time. You’re to be thrown out the next day and you have no place to
go.

Palava is waking up with your belongings in the roadside and not a
penny to your name. But you’re smiling, waiting for a miracle.

Palava is when everyone thinks you own the bank cos they see you on
T.V but you ain’t even sure of your next meal. Lol

Palava is when you make peanuts out of an honest living, yet you’d
rather be a poor upright citizen than a rich thief.

Palava is when the devil has a gun to your head. ” Sell your soul to
me & I’ll get ya outta this” he says. Laughing you reply: ” shoot
me”!

Yep, Palava happens every freakin’ day. I am a survivor. Every moment
is a dance with chance. Feels good to have God.
