Patoranking, the Nigerian Afrobeats and reggae-dancehall sensation, is set to captivate audiences on this week’s episode of CNN’s “African Voices,” proudly sponsored by Glo.
The program, known for highlighting transformative stories from the African continent, will feature Patoranking’s inspiring journey from the streets of Nigeria to international acclaim.
He will share the story of how he rose from the slums of Lagos to global fame to host of the programme, Larry Madowo.
The programme will equally host Ghanaian Derrick Cobinnah, who has been using his "Forces Help Africa" to turn round for good the fortunes of Ghanaian war veterans.
Patoranking, whose full name is Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie, hails from Onicha in Ebonyi State. He was born in Lagos on 27 May 1990. He is a Nigerian Afrobeats and reggae-dancehall singer and songwriter who starred out in life as a street musical performer.
He has won notable awards, including Headies, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards as well as the MTV Africa Music Award in recognition of his hit albums, including God Over Everything (2016), Wilmer (2019), Three (2020) and World Best, which was released last year.
Patoranking has used his wealth and his position as a UNDP Regional goodwill ambassador to champion the cause of youth development in Nigeria.
His counterpart, Derrick Cobinnah, has been employing his Forces Help Africa, a non-government organisation to render help and support to war veterans who are sick, injured, displaced or destitute.
The current edition of African Voices started airing on DSTV Channel 401 on Saturday, February 15, with repeats coming up on Sunday at 7p.m. and at 4 a.m. on Monday.
