Despite the huge traffic along the
ever busy Ahmadu Bello way, Victoria Island, Nigerians and lovers of
entertainment, denied themselves the comfort of their beds to witness
celebrities bid final farewell to the late former South African
President, Nelson Madiba Mandela.
The concert which was tagged,
“Mandela lives on”, kicked off at about 9 pm, with a stage performance by the
Ebonylife band. The event Talented comedian, Julius Agwu, mounted the stage to
do what he knows how to do best.
Anchored by Obi Ebuka and Olisa, the
event was graced by the cream of society and top music stars like, Tuface
Idibia, Tiwa Savage, Waje, among others. The story of what happened in the show
can never be complete without mentioning what happened when hip hop icon,
Tuface Idibia mounted the stage to perform his award winning track, “ African
Queen”.
In his usual way of performing, he
started by jumping up while singing and many fans followed suit.
The Marvin Records songstress, Tiwa
Savage stole the show as fans tuned “ Eminado” for her even before she
climbed the stage.
To show her numerous fans that she
has it in stock when it comes to good tracks, she did not stop at only
“Eminado” , she followed it up with one of her hit singles, “Oko mi” for the
audience to dance away stress.
What seemed to amaze fans about the
show was that the Nigerian born talented singer, Waje, did not only climb the
stage to perform as she was called, she also, counsel the audience.
She urged people to try as much as
possible, to impact positively on their next door neighbour so as to be
remembered when they are no more. For her, it was not just to go and perform on
stage, it was also, an avenue to advice her fans.
