Renowned Nigerian highlife musician and Ziggima crooner, Bright Chimezie, recently celebrated his wife’s 50th birthday. Mrs. Chinyere Bright Chimezie has been an instrumental part of the singer’s success, providing support and serving as a partner, backbone, and pillar throughout his career.

Chimezie, who gained fame for his unique style of delivery and brand of highlife music in the 80s and 90s, posted a message on his official Facebook page, expressing his love and appreciation for his wife. He thanked her for everything she has done for him, their children, and the family and wished her continued guidance, protection, and prosperity from the Almighty.
