Official cover Image of the Show
Despite the fun it promised and that which it actually offered, i personally believed that "free things dey run bele". The show was thrown open at about some minutes past 7 pm with some performances by up and coming artistes in enugu and other states. This was followed by the arrival of Lagos based artistes. Artistes that were present at the event was Flavour, Phyno, Zoro, Yemi Alade, Selebobo, Terry-G, Timaya, Mr Raw, Duncan Mighty and the list goes on and on. The host, Gov. Sullivan Chime arrived the location at about 10:17 with massive convoy. He was dressed to my amazement in a simple white short sleeves shirt with black dots. Also in attendance was other state officials like the head of service, Enugu state, Mr Chidi Ezema and so many others. the VIP spot contained about 100-150 people. The security operation was impressive, there were men of special task force of the Nigerian police, the Nigerian police force, SARS, and the Nigerian army. about 10 large police dogs were there.
The was blessed with massive turn out which i perceived as a curse! The population could be estimated to be over 4000 youths, and about 200 adults, state officials inclusive. The Population was damn too high that the venue hardly contained the crowd. This caused severe injuries following a stampede, it also cause suffocation especially to the female folks who from eyewitnesses had a few reported to have fainted.
If you missed the show, dont let my report give you a bad impression of it. now let me give you a highlight of what happened on stage. Firstly the stage was well lighted, there were about 5 cameras tracking the show, There were also about 30 loud speakers to produce quality sound. That night, the stage rocked, comedians boomed the show, Phyno had the highest crowd control as the crowd went bezerk when he mounted the stage. he came out stylishly with a brown hoody, black trousers and a pair of white supra. The second artist that stole the show after Phyno was Davido. he had more hit songs, including of course the skelewu dance which he didnt show us how to dance it well. Zoro too rocked the stage. Amongst the big artistes, the one that least impressed was Duncan Mighty and Flavour. Duncan mighty entered this list because he hardly had any new thing to offer. He complimented this by doing a competition which he called "the ikebe of enugu". That is the girl with the largest behind in Enugu. A girl won $2000 in the competition. Flavour performed last, hundreds of people and scores of state vehicles started squeezing through the entrance gate when his performance started. He came upstage at about past 5 am.
