The fun train of the music concert of
the foremost telecommunications, Globacom, aptly called Glo Mega Music
Nationwide Tour, had an explosive stopover in Akure, Ondo State on
Saturday.
The event was held at the Golden Events
Centre, Akure, featuring some of Nigeria’s most successful musicians in
Nigeria, including the afro-pop singer, Yemi Eberechi Alade, popularly called
Yemi Alade, whose late father hailed from Ondo State.
Other artistes who entertained at the
massively attended event included the rave of the moment, Runtown; the Egberi
Papa 1 of Bayelsa, Timaya; rappers’ delight, Chibuzor Nelson Azubike, who goes
by the stage name Phyno; the king of the streets, Olamide, and the fast rising
star of the Mavis group, Korede Bello.
Korede Bello opened the show,
serenading Globacom subscribers with the best of his songs, including Mungo
Park. He was followed by the ‘Mad Over You’ crooner, Runtown, who sent the hall
wild with that monster hit and other club bangers.
Yemi Alade picked the baton, reminding
the audience that she hails from Ondo State and that her late father would have
been proud of her "homecoming" if he were to be alive.
"It may interest you all to know
that this girl standing before you tonight is actually from this
great State, Ondo State. My father was from Ondo state and I am happy that Glo
brought me back home. If my daddy were to be alive today, he would be happy
that his daughter is back home," she said.
She thanked the audience for showing
her so much love saying, "I am your daughter and your sister and I am
delighted coming to my roots, and I thank Globacom once again for this
opportunity to see my people; I love you all."
Phyno took off from there and got the
Yoruba-dominated crowd to sing every line of his tracks such as Connect, Alobam, Ezege,
and Fada fada with him.
Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa, Timaya, and
the Kings of the Streets, Olamide, a.k.a. Baddo, took the show to the peak of
excitement. While Timaya was both 'spiritual' and philosophical in his
performance, Olamide took the show back to the streets and engaged the Omo
Wobes in raw street lingo all through.
The show was anchored by two top
actresses, Uche Jombo and Juliet Ibrahim, while the most celebrated Yoruba
movie star, Odunlade Adekola, made celebrity guest appearance. The
sensational female jukebox master, DJ Lambo, dished out hot vibes to the
delight of the crowd.
The show is next going to Kubwa, Abuja.
Glo subscribers who are interested in attending the show are expected to have
used N2,000 recharge card in data and voice, and they should send
SMS "MUSIC ABUJA" to the short code 207.
