Ugoccie – Imaramma

Ugoccie – Imaramma


Fresh from the success of her record-breaking monster hit, “Achalugo”, the Voice of the East herself, Ugoccie, steps into 2026 with a fresh and brand new single titled, “Imaramma”.

“Imaramma” is a song that celebrates beauty and virtue. Ugoccie, in her own true fashion, delivers a lovely tune laced with melodies and folk chants reminiscent of the High-Life greats!

Ugoccie makes her first musical outing in 2026 with this new single, which does not disappoint! Following the highs of “Achalugo”, “Imaramma” marks a new direction for the vocalist with its upbeat, high-life-inspired tempo.

“Imaramma” is an Igbo-origin given name from southeastern Nigeria, formed from the elements ima/ịma (to know, to be esteemed, or beauty) and nma (goodness, beauty, well-being). This yields meanings such as “beauty is known,” “one known for goodness,” or “you are good/beautiful”.

Ugoccie has always been an advocate of appreciating people and the things that make them who they are. In “Imaramma”, she takes this a step further as she heaps praises on one and all, letting people know just how good and how beautiful they are.

What’s a new Ugoccie single without a captivating social media campaign to go with it? As part of the activation for this new single, fans have spotted Ugoccie all around town, delivering roses to everyday people. This has brought about a new trend on different platforms with impressive engagements recorded so far.

Ugoccie’s brand new single, “Imaramma”, is out now on all platforms. Listen, share & enjoy!

W.O.W Africa Holdings Announces the 50 Rare Men Continental Honour Circle 2026

W.O.W Africa Holdings Announces the 50 Rare Men Continental Honour Circle 2026

 



A High-Level Continental Convening Honouring Men Shaping Africa’s Economic and Institutional Future

Africa’s next era of influence is being shaped by a calibre of men operating beyond visibility — men building institutions, moving capital, influencing industries, shaping policy, transforming communities, and contributing meaningfully to the continent’s long-term trajectory.

In June 2026, W.O.W Africa Holdings will convene a select group of these leaders under one continental structure:

The W.O.W Africa 50 Rare Men Continental Honour Circle 2026.

Set to take place in Houghton Estate, Sandton, South Africa, the convening brings together influential African men across enterprise, finance, infrastructure, media, governance, technology, healthcare, development, and strategic leadership.


Under the 2026 theme:

BLACK

BLACK as position.

BLACK as ownership of capital.

BLACK as authority in enterprise.

BLACK as control of narrative.

BLACK as long-term African institution building.

According to organizers, the convening reflects a growing continental need for intentional proximity among African men operating at significant levels of influence and responsibility.

“Across the continent, there are extraordinary men carrying the weight of industries, institutions, economies, and communities.

W.O.W Africa created the 50 Rare Men Continental Honour Circle as a platform for recognition, strategic alignment, and long-term continental relationship building among men whose work continues to shape Africa’s future.”

The 2026 continental circle includes distinguished figures from South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Morocco, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, and other strategic African regions.


Among those connected to the broader honour circle are:


* Rali Mampeule, Chairman of the Mampeule Foundation and one of South Africa’s most recognised property development figures;

* Victor Ufot, Director at TenTrade Africa and a leading voice in African capital and investment ecosystems;

* Arabile Gumede, internationally recognised financial journalist and economic commentator;

* Dr Brian Monaisa, founder of Marang Aesthetics and one of South Africa’s leading medical entrepreneurs;

* Robert Burale of Kenya, known continentally for transformational leadership and men’s empowerment initiatives;

* Najib Najib of Morocco, respected journalist, filmmaker, and media figure shaping cultural and public discourse across North Africa.

The gathering will operate under private protocol with curated access, strategic networking structures, leadership engagements, institutional participation, and continental relationship building at its core.

W.O.W Africa Holdings confirmed that the initiative forms part of a broader ecosystem focused on leadership, enterprise, economic advancement, strategic partnerships, and African influence on the global stage.

The convening reflects a wider shift toward building stronger continental ecosystems among African leaders whose work carries measurable economic, institutional, and social impact across borders.

As Africa continues to define its position globally, rooms of this calibre are becoming increasingly important in shaping collaboration, influence, investment, and long-term continental direction.

Engr. Chima Kafor, immediate past South East National Vice President of the Nigeria Youth Organization (NYO) and 2027 All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant for Obowo State Constituency, has called on youths across Orlu Zone to rally behind Governor Hope Uzodimma’s senatorial ambition.

He described Governor Uzodimma as a leader with the capacity to attract greater federal presence to the zone, noting that his experience in governance would be a strategic asset at the National Assembly.

_“This is the time for Orlu youths to speak with one voice. We need sustained and positive political engagement to consolidate the gains recorded in the last few years,”_ Kafor said.

The Obowo-born engineer reaffirmed his personal commitment to the governor’s political vision, expressing confidence that Uzodimma’s representation at the Red Chamber would fast-track infrastructure and human capital development across Imo West Senatorial District.

_“I am fully committed to supporting His Excellency’s senatorial bid. I believe in the progress and development that his leadership will bring to Orlu Zone and Imo State,”_ he added.

Kafor urged youth organizations, student bodies, and community associations in the 12 local government areas of Orlu Zone to close ranks and mobilize grassroots support ahead of the 2027 general elections.
