What Happened to Durella?



From the title of this piece, i'm sure you already have a feeling that all might not be well with one of Nigeria's very talented singers, Durella.

The truth is that while Durella has not fallen off a tree or gotten himself shot by armed robbers, you would have to agree with me that there is something wrong somewhere especially if you have ever witnessed Durella perform on stage. I have and i remember what i saw - a complete entertainer.

Durella has talent - there's no element of doubt in that but then the question is: Is he where he should be commercially and also in terms of rating on the Nigerian and global entertainment scene.

My answer to this question is a solid no. Many of us witnessed Durella's exciting emergence and how he thrilled us with hit singles like 'Shayo,' (had that one as my ring tone for weeks) In the Zanga, Enemies and many other brilliant hits. his musical videos shot by Clarence Peters suddenly became something major to look forward to.

The last musical offering from Durella that i know of was 'Club Rock,' (with the video still shot by award-winning video director, Clarence Peters) another wonderful piece from the singer.

Whoever knows what went wrong and what we could do to return Durella to the top spot, which i strongly feel he belongs should kindly share with us.
