Biography: “Milly Nightman” Face of South’s New School Afro-Pop Fusion

 

Born Oghenekevwe Josiah on April 17th, Milly-Nightman is a super gifted rising Nigerian Afro-Pop musician, and songwriter from the rich cultural heartland of Delta State - Southern Nigeria. Currently based in the bustling city of Lagos (his creative home base) where the energy of the streets and the rhythm of the night continue to shape his sound and creative output.

 

Growing up between the serene landscapes of Delta State and the fast-paced heartbeat of Lagos, Milly-Nightman developed a deep love for music early in life. As a single, focused artist, he channels his experiences, emotions, and the everyday stories of young Nigerians into powerful, relatable lyrics. Whether he’s penning soul-stirring verses or crafting catchy hooks, his songwriting stands out for its honesty, street wisdom, and melodic flow.

Still in the early chapters of his career, Milly-Nightman is steadily building his lane in the Afrobeats and Alternative music scene. With every new song the fusion Star transects to audience of relatable experience and common interest, who feels seen through his music, those chasing dreams, navigating city life, and staying true to their roots.

About his stage name, the Star explained “Milly-Nightman” to reflect his belief that the best ideas and biggest breakthroughs often come under the cover of night, when the world is quiet and creativity speaks loudest.

Passionate and unapologetically authentic, Milly-Nightman is far from these regular emerging creatives making music for the fun of it, as he aspires to be a voice for the new generation of Nigerian creatives who refuse to be boxed in.

The night is just getting started for this Delta-to-Lagos star, and his music is about to light up the scene...

Tribute To A National Icon, David Mark, National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress

 

We celebrate an extraordinary Nigerian statesman, David Mark, who turns 78 today, 8th April, 2026.

A soldier by training, a patriot by conviction, and a bridge-builder by temperament, his life has remained deeply woven into the story of Nigeria’s UNITY and DEMOCRATIC STABILITY. 

Happy birthday to a man of duty, discipline, and destiny.

Today, we honor a distinguished soldier who served Nigeria with courage in uniform and later with wisdom in public office. 

From the battlefield of national service to the chambers of democratic leadership, Senator David Mark has consistently stood as a symbol of ORDER, PATRIOTISM, and STATESMANSHIP.

As a military officer, he embodied discipline and sacrifice. 

As a politician, he brought calm, maturity, and institutional stability. 

As Senate president, his steady hands helped guide the National Assembly through defining moments in our democracy, proving that leadership is not about noise but about strength, balance, and vision.

Beyond titles and offices, he has remained a fatherly figure to many—offering counsel, inspiring younger leaders, standing with and encouraging women while reminding Nigerians that nation-building requires patience, courage, and commitment. 

In difficult moments, when the nation needed voices of reason and figures of trust, Senator David Mark has often been one of those rare leaders whose presence reassures and whose words unite.

He is one of those men who, over the years, have helped hold Nigeria together when it mattered most—through turbulent  politics, constitutional tests, and moments that demanded national healing.

Today, we celebrate not just his birthday but also a legacy of service, sacrifice, and uncommon leadership.

May God continue to grant him strength, sound health, peace, and many more years of impactful service to Nigeria and humanity.

Happy Birthday, Distinguished Senator David Mark—soldier, statesman, father, patriot, and one of Nigeria’s enduring pillars of unity. 

Enjoy your day, surrounded by those who love you dearly.

God bless Nigeria.

Lauretta Onochie.
