Davido UK Tour 2013: The Hottest Concert Of The Year!(Pictures Don’t Lie) – Exclusive

source 360nobs.com

If how well one performs with a live band is a test of how great of a musician they are, then everyone who performed at the Davido concert passed with flying colours.
What took place in the Indigo2 was nothing short of amazing. The crowd was buzzing with excitement from the opening act to the headliner and the performers left the crowd begging for more.
The concert could have easily been mistaken for a festival show with the amount of top class artists that graced the stage. Opening acts, the D3 Dancers, Moe Logo, Mo Eazy, Mista Silva, Lola Rae and Tillaman gave electrifying performances filled with theatrics, killer dance moves, amazingly talented dancers and  a sound performance by the Empire Sounds live band each time they played their instruments.
By the time Davido hit the stage, the crowd was more than ready to feast their eyes on what they had been longing for. After a brief UK grime introduction to Lethal B’s 2003 hit song “Pow”, Davido jumped on stage to “All of you” as a rain of confetti, fireworks and fancy light work lit the stage, courtesy of Hephizbah Productions. Davido quickly reminded the sold out London crowd of his long list of hits despite his short time in the industry so far.
Giving the people an energetic show, Davido went from “Back When” to the hottest song in Nigeria right now, “Skelewu” alongside HKN members Shina Rambo and B-Red. He even included an interlude of the hottest US rap songs out right now while Wande Coal who was seated in the balcony sprayed money onto the lower standing area.
Davido did everything from pull a young lady from the crowd to serenade to pulling a young lady from the crow to twerk on stage. He was also joined by the now famous CEO Dancers as well as the D3 Dancers.
If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that the young Nigerian superstar wouldn’t be able to deliver the goods, he shot it down the moment he had the crowd screaming his name.
From the moment he stepped on the stage to the moment the moment he took his last bow the crowd was on their feet grooving and gyrating with their hands up in the air.
Let’s not forget to give credit where it is due since the running of the how wouldn’t have been smooth sailing if not for the organisers: Smade, Cokobar, Lian Okolie of Vox Africa and CEO of Milestone Entertainment and Fatimah Morafa of Creative Sparks Media ltd.
This was most definitely the biggest, hottest and best concert (of any genre) of 2013, so far.

I will never stop fighting for democracy. Here is why… ATIKU ABUBAKAR

On the night of April 19, 2007, I sat with the head of my media team in a long conversation over dinner. It was a light-hearted conversation about many things: family, religion, and history. We joked about a recent visit by a friend, and the recent pranks by his youngest child. Everything but politics.

This might sound strange because that was two nights before the 2007 Presidential Elections, and we were about to lose. It was my first, and only, run in a general election for president, and I knew it would be a heavy loss.
Two weeks prior to that evening, two state governors had visited my home to beg me to step aside. There had been rumours the results of the yet-to-be-held elections had already been tabulated and sent to INEC. In their thinking, they felt a need to warn me, for old times sake, not to go into an election in which the outcome may already have been concluded, and which may embarrass me to the point of destroying my political career.
I told them I had heard them and understood. The next morning, I told my team to ramp up activity on the campaign effort. We were still running.
Why did I continue in an election that I knew clearly I was about to lose?
Over the preceding four years – at great risk to my own political future – I had engaged in a long, tough battle to maintain the viability of our young democracy by preserving the presidential term limits prescribed by the constitution.
