Skateaway - (Jayzik Azikiwe)



This is 1 of my all time fav. videos it first came out on HBO's video juke box in the 70's before MTV.
Roller Girl (Jayzik Azikiwe) was the daughter of the father of Independent and former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Nnandi Azikiwe.
She lived at full speed, in full colour and brought joy into many people's lives.
She sponsored a basic School in her locality (Kololi area) with many pupils, she provided uniforms and fees for some of the pupils and even paid some teachers.
In her professional career, Jayzik was a performance poet, songstress and song writer.
Jayzik Azikiwe died in The Gambia on 31st January 2008.
I'm sure she will be missed by many.
