Stanley Okorie performs hit Nollywood tracks ‘Billionaire’ ‘Happy Mumu’ and ‘Chop Life’
You know his hit soundtracks ‘Billionaire’, ‘Happy Mumu’ and ‘Karishika from the thousands of songs he has made for Nollywood soundtracks over the painting years. He is on track for a Guinness World Record for the sheer volume and vitality of his brilliance - over 10,000 songs.
Some of the most precious songs from my childhood watching Nollywood movies have come from his heart - ‘Iyeme’ in Chain Reactions, ‘You and I’ from Conspiracy and the soundtrack from the Kate Henshaw film ‘Compromise’ that stole my heart when I was in high school.
And what a heart - he says those songs connect deeply with us because his heart has been broken too many times. By a father who didn’t believe in his music, by divorces, and losing a wife and a child to the tragic hands of death.
He says he knows sadness, he knows sorrows… but he also knows joy, and he knows what it means to love and be loved.

This man is the real reason some of us watch movies those early days of Nollywood. He was too iconical, talented, and inspiring. He made my day as i watch this musical video. Nigeria is a country so blessed with talents, the only deficiency is bad, clueless, and wicked Leaders.
Even when am passing by a house and hear his song playing in a movie,i would feel like jumping into the house and watch the movie..His songs added the unprecedented spice to the Nollywood movies.

'Jesus I love you oo' album still my favorite gospel songs. God bless you Sir 🙏 Lots of love from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
I have his gospel track on my phone. I play every morning. "Jesus I love you o" he's a legend.❤
Any movie you hear his voice in! The movie is definitely a fire brand❤ God bless you Stanley Okorie and more blessings to you Chude 🥰
You are an icon...a voice that accompanied Nollywood from its early days ...this brings so much memories
Standley Okorie is music itself. So talented. Thank you.bros . You have touched lives
There should be a way to like this video more than once. "Jesus I love you" was one of my favourites growing up. I always wondered who sang it. The 'karishika' sounds faintly familiar. This is truly a delight. Grateful we're honouring him in his lifetime, also thanks to Chude for interviewing him. Hopefully, nollywood will do the needful.

It is heart warming to finally seing the face behind all these nigerian movies songs....This man's songs will make you love a movie more...... Not only nigerian should give flowers to this man but all africans who grow up like me watching nigerian movies...... Love from Cameroon

I knew Stanley Okorie as a musician back then.
I grew up with this man songs. Jesus i love oh, you do well i thank you oh!
This man is a legend!! 🔥🔥 For a live performance the music should have been performed live. There's no need giving the backups microphones because they're not using it at all. It's the sound track that's doing every work. At least, there should have been a live band performing with him.
This man deserves really good recognition. He is truly nollywood legend.
Oh my God! I finally know this man who sang "JESUS I LOVE" Since when i was a child mama use to play this all the way from Sierra Leone. Sending Love from SIERRA LEONE 🇸🇱❤❤❤❤
