It is an auspicious day in Nigeria today and tommorow (150707 and 160707). At the 15000 capacity Lekki Events center in Lagos with a big ass 5000 cars parking lot, a consortium of super and local stars will be gracing the 2nd THISDAY music festival. The roll call includes folks like,
- Shakira(what kindda equipments did she have to bring that made her use two planes to fly into Nigeria? bringing equipments in with an Airbus! geeez! money power..)
- P. Diddy - A private jet!hmmm...
- UB 40
- Rihanna
- Kelly Rowland
- John Legend!....I wanna hear this one!
- NeYo...did I get that one right! whoa!
- Tuface - our budding international champion
- and a host of other emerging local artistes
Not only this brighthen my smiles that Private bodies are doing tha quota in promoting Music and tourism in Ma dear Country, It also makes me marvel at the calibre of artistes that are performing at this event.....This is raw 'WADADA'! Not even the 50000, 25000 and 10000 naira range of tickets justifies the means of housing all these icons under one roof. The ticket sales should not accrue to anything less than 200000000 million Naira ( about $1.6million USD!) all things being equal.
and then for the event to be opened by the vice president of the federal republic of Nigeria as well as the Lagos State governor..I wouldnt expect anything much less tho...banks are even open on a sunday to sale tickets...wtf!
Last year's maiden festival had the likes of Beyonce, Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliot, Ciara amongst others featuring.
For all I know....Lagos is HOT now...very HOT!
