WIZKID LIVE IN CONCERT IN ABUJA LIVED UP TO THE HYPE
By the time I woke up 7:30am on the 16th of December to a message on phone from Matthew Ohio informing me of my flight time to be in Abuja to attend the Wizkid Live in Concert, that same day, I knew they wanted me to be a first hand witness to one of the greatest show organized in Nigeria this year. Considering the grumbles that arise due to the lack of crowd management associated with the Davido concert that happened days before in the city, the Wizkid Live In Concert, held at Transcorp Hilton , Abuja came at the right time and will be recorded as arguably, one of the most memorable moments in the showbiz calendar in 2018.
In term of the event blueprint that involves the stage design, the seating and the standing arrangement, the sound system, the crowd turnout and control, then add that to the talents on display and the performance arrangement, this show will go down as a classic. The photographer attached to me and myself picked up coverage of night from when Sefiya was on stage sandwiched in-between performances from several young talents that all got standing ovation. Then came big names like Chinko Ekun, Phlex and Iyanya ushering in Wizkid who brought down the roof and also gave cameo appearance to Skales and Dammy Krane. Also worth mentioning is the great hypeman job by Manolospanky and the wizardry on the turntable by DJ Kenny.
Accurate description of the night didn’t want it to end.
