Speaking with The Tide Entertainment, recently, the founder and chief vocalist of the cultural music club, Mr Umesor Chinnah a.k.a Obewe said the club which is popularly known as ‘Work and Chop’ is for the promotion of Ikwerre culture through music and to encourage the youths to shun social vices. It also promotes peace, unity and love in Ikwerre clan.

He maintained that the popularity of the music particularly among the youths is as a result of the sophisticated traditional and modern instruments used as well as the rich philosophical and educative message it sends across to the listeners, including the entertainment and professional dance steps that appeal to the public.
He however, enumerated some of their challenges such as lack of sponsorship and finance needed to bring them to limelight. He stressed that it is not easy to be gifted with talent, but when the talent is not recognized and promoted it dies premature death. He therefore, appealed to his Ikwerre brothers and sisters to contribute towards the upliftment of the club to achieve greater heights.
