Abuja based Bank Club chairman and one of the
pillars of entertainment in the FCT, Kehinde
Adegbite, otherwise known as Mallam Yankee, has
reaffirmed his earlier viral comment on how the
seat of government (Abuja) was drawing very
close to the apogee, especially with the growing
awareness among the public who are now
committed to entertainment, especially nightlife
and event in order to ease off their stress.

Speaking with newsmen on the state of showbiz
and nightlife in Abuja, Mallam Yankee said
entertainment in Abuja was drawing close to
equal that of Lagos or possibly takes over in a
short while.

It would be recalled that following his recent
statement in the media that Abuja was taking
over from Lagos soon with regard to
entertainment, most show patrons in Lagos
have discarded his opinion, affirming that it
was simply a utopian dream.

But the CEO, Yankee entertainment who has
organized several successful events in the FCT,
said there was a growing awareness among
show lovers and that entertainment events are
like therapy that momentarily or permanently
proffer solution to either physical or
psychological stress, and that with the growing
awareness, Abuja has come to the point of
taking over the industry from Lagos.

“When you visit us and other clubs on Fridays,
you will know that my point is accurate. I think
we are almost there; all we need is to sharpen
ourselves to totally transform entertainment in
Abuja. I do not make statement without giving
my reasons. Though Lagos is doing very well,
but Abuja is clearly on the rise. We must not be
taken for granted. The presence of 2Face and
other artistes in the capital city here has
sharpened the industry, and we are on a
gradual move to overtaking Lagos,” Yankee
asserted.

On his contribution to the ongoing
transformation, he said, “we have been in this
game for long. We started when people felt
Abuja was not a place for entertainment, shows
or nightlife. Many of our friends that started
with us got discouraged, and gave up along the
line. But we held on, and see where we are
today. We are almost there.”

Speaking on his past successful show, Yankee
named 2Face album launch as one of the
greatest shows he ever organised, putting
Iyanya’s album launch as his second best,
followed by Charly boy’s Show-Live. He noted
that consistency and passion were the two
things that had worked for him and still
working for him
