Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene has no shortage of breakout voices, but Akiniz (Victor Effiong Edet), repping Akwa Ibom State, is carving out his own lane with his latest release,“Omahema.”
The track leans on smooth percussion and a melodic bounce, turning into a heartfelt love anthem wrapped in pure Afrobeats energy.
Akiniz moves between sultry vocals and playful swagger, dropping lines like “Call me anytime, girl no DND / You got me high like I don smoke weed. ”It’s romantic, addictive, and built for late nights when emotions hit as hard as the bassline.
“Omahema” isn’t just vibe for vibe’s sake, it’s storytelling. Akiniz locks into themes of devotion and surrender, promising “Na you be my Odo” while admitting “In your world, make you be my jailer / And I wanna be your prisoner yeah.” That push and pull between desire and vulnerability is where the record really shines.
Afrobeats has always thrived on songs that balance groove with emotion, and Akiniz finds that sweet spot without breaking a sweat. The record feels raw, catchy, and honest, a sign of an artist who knows that the best love songs don’t just move your feet, they stick to your chest.
With “Omahema, ” Akiniz isn’t just putting out another single. He’s sending a clear message: he’s here for the long run, and he’s making music built for both the dancefloor and the heart.
