Ndi Igbo, this one is for us.
In this powerful premiere of Igbo Nwere Mmadu — a Convos with Chichi flagship series — I sit down with Nigerian highlife legend Ruffcoin Nwaba to talk all things culture, hustle, and legacy.
🎤 From growing up in Aba to pioneering a sound that honors our Igbo roots, Ruffcoin shares his honest take on whether Igbo music is being left behind — and what we need to do to keep it alive.
💬 This episode blends Igbo and English, but don’t worry — there’s a full transcript linked below if you'd like to follow along.
Whether you’re in Lagos, London, or Los Angeles, if you love our music, our language, and our story — this one’s for you.
