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

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.

complete without mentioning what happened when

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 show as fans tuned “ Eminado” for her even
before she climbed the stage.

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.

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.
