As Nigeria turns 54, Chookar
strongly believes that nation building is a collective
responsibility.Inspired by the 'Reachout Nigeria Campaign' of her church
and the call to 'ARISE' by Don Jazzy; and the yearning to contribute
her quota to nation building Chookar launches out as a solo artiste with
a special,beautiful and simple song for Nigeria titled 'STANDUP' to
celebrate her independence.
'STANDUP',with
it's contemporary highlife feel,is urging every Nigerian in Nigeria and
in diaspora to disregard the mistakes of the past and present,unite as
one and build the nation together.
