A GIRL IN THE RAIN is a collection of poems written by Chiamaka Jessica Onumaegbu, a fourteen-year-old secondary school student whose writings reflect inner depth and love for family, people, and environment. The anthology is scheduled for launch in Port Harcourt by December 2018 as announced by the publisher—Purple Shelves LTD, Lagos.

As regular with poets, Chiamaka’s book explores her daily experiences while growing into maturation; the psychology of the girl-child, challenges, questions, expectations and responses to prevalent social ills.

“I think that the poems are inspiring” says Amara Chimeka– CEO of Purple Shelves LTD.  “They show a heart full of positivity and optimism, which in a sense, escalates into hope. Such works from the younger generation show that there is hope for our reading culture, for our literary traditions and for us as a people. Everyone should read this collection. Adults should read it to be encouraged; youths should read it to be inspired.” She added.

Affiong Ene-Obong, a girl-child advocate, writes in the blurb saying that “the anthology has been composed to leave indelible marks in the heart of humans. The Young author’s words will transform lives, families, nations and generations to give ideas, perceptions, values and standards a face-lift. ONUMAEGBU Chiamaka Jessica’s audacity is laudable.”

According to the poet, “the book is written to encourage, motivate and inspire all the children in the world and all who read it, that they can accomplish any feat as long as they put their mind and heart into it. As long as you keep your mind open and your creativity fueling your endless imagination, even the most negligible of all things can inspire something beautiful. Even the most absurd of people, awful situations or strangest creatures can blow your mind if you scrutinize them closely and try to work them with our everyday life. My desire is to teach people.”

According to this beautiful Songstress, her journey in music began at the church, a celestial church of Christ, where she led the church’s choir from the tender age of seven.

 

The Juju Vibration crooner said, “It all began on one beautiful Sunday, it was our Xmas carol day, and the lady that was supposed to lead had an issue with her voice. She was about to lead us but unfortunately, her voice was not coming up and that was how I was called by the choirmaster to lead. I didn’t really rehearse the song, but it seems God was on my side, I did it well and that was how I got the position to be the lead vocal in my church.”

 

From passion to a means of livelihood, she said, “It was a passion at first and I later took it up professionally when I started working at the studio as a backup singer for big artists.

She said, “I really wanted to fill a vacuum, and when I released my first album ten years ago, fans and other music lovers were glad to have another taste of Juju music. I had really gained a lot by the time I came up with mine, having worked with so many people during the recording of their musical albums.

 

Vibrator said, she is the creator of Juju vibration, and being a lady in the profession, she has been able to carve a niche for herself despite the hurdles. “God has been very wonderful to me, though I had to confront different challenges as a woman in the industry, and to His glory, I have been able to face the task and overcome it.

 

Being one of the most beautiful singers around in the entertainment industry, Shola said, “I have been able to distinguish myself, though fans and let me say men generally have not been easy to deal with when they see a beautiful face and being a musician, there is always so much to it, but I have been able to manage it well.”

 

On her albums, she said, “I have done some that are doing good. Amongst them is NIGERIA MY COUNTRY, it is a single. I recorded it based on the situation of the country.
