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.

This man!! Best soundtrack producer of all time. No one comes close! 👍👍
Anyone watching this music video 2090 this music makes our childhood 1999-2011 Nollywood ❤
This man is Nollywood itself.
Song bringing tears to my eye remember late actors that acted in this movies 🙏🏾🥺.May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace
Veteran Nollywood film composer. I had a chance to interview him ten years ago concerning his life and works. Such a gentleman too!
This dude has laid so many soundtracks on my favorite movies it’s crazy he doesn’t gets his flowers often.
Gentleman in nature. Just look at how humble a man should be
Finally! It is so good to see the face of Stanley Okorie...the voice behind all those movie sound tracks. Stanley...you are gifted...and you are a gift to mankind. May your songs keep rolling🙏

Tonton Chude please set this agenda and make this happen in the next AMVCA. This 1 no need category, they should just award him. A man who has songs for all scenarios 🙌🏾. Jesus I love you was a bomb; like you who didn't know the lyrics back then didn't know your purpose on earth😅. Too much talent.
Live long Stanley Okorie ❤
Damn! He’s a true legend. Most of we Ghanaians loved Nollywood movies cos of their iconic soundtracks from this dude. God bless him.
So this talented man is the brain behind all these background music that is always heard on our Nollywood movies... That's lovely..

So this is the face behind hit soundtracks in Nollywood. What a sweet voice he has.
Wow! It feels surreal to be seeing who is behind these songs. Respect Sir! ❤🎉
He has been behind the scenes...Hopefully he'll reap from all his efforts this years 🎉

I’ve always known these are all his songs! I’m such a sucker for lyrics so I went in search of years ago😅. Good to see he’s well and finally being recognised
Over the years, your talent has always amazed me. I'm happy you showed up for it. Who knows, maybe I'll ask you to perform for me someday.
I have his gospel track on my phone. I play every morning. "Jesus I love you o" he's a legend.❤
This man na legend I just dey remember all the movies I have watched with all this song ❤❤❤❤
I grew up with this man songs. Jesus i love oh, you do well i thank you oh!
JESUS I LOVE YOU OOO This song was legendary
❤❤❤❤Those soundtracks take waaay back.!! Yooooh😢
I have one word "ICONIC"
This is mad talent. Some people are like that, they just want to be at the background. But this talent would have fetched him more fame and money. Weldone Stanley.
Good to finally see the face behind the voice all these years ❤❤❤🎉
Besides the GCFR National Honour which is the exclusive reserve for the President, Stanley Okorie deserves the 2nd highest National Honour in Nigeria which is the GCON! His talent has positively affected Nigeria and the world at large compared to those self centred politicians all over the place!
I love this man. He is such an authentic talent. I loved listening to his very touching interview too. God bless you for honouring him, Chide. It is very well deserved. I wish him the best.
