    Nigerian artists Phyno and Wande Coal have recreated a historic photograph of former United States President Jimmy Carter and former Nigerian Head of State Olusegun Obasanjo in the music video for their collaboration, “Ndewo”.

    The original photograph dates back to October 11, 1977, when Obasanjo visited the United States during his time as Nigeria’s military Head of State. It was taken by White House staff photographers and is part of the Jimmy Carter White House Photographs Collection preserved by the US National Archives.

    The photograph captures a moment in the relationship between the two leaders, who later met again during Carter’s state visit to Nigeria from March 31 to April 3, 1978. The visit was the first state visit to sub-Saharan Africa by a sitting US president.

    The song brings together Phyno and Wande Coal, marking a collaboration between the two Nigerian artists. “Ndewo” was released on October 28, 2026.
