The D-date is set for Sunday, August 25, 2013. The venue is expansive hall of the convention center at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. The concert would feature the 2 of the only artistes worthy of being referred to as kings. One of them is the Prince of Afro-beats himself, the one and only Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, who with his band, the Positive force would grace the bandstand. Unarguably, Femi is one of the most respected Nigerian/African musicians in the world. Not very many Nigerian musicians have been nominated for the very prestigious 'Grammy Awards'. And Femi has had that privilege.
Set to play alongside Femi on the night at the same concert, is most probably Nigeria's most talented musician of late, who incidentally is also one of the best vocalists from Africa, and that's none other than 2 Baba himself, the one and only Innocent 'Tuface' Idibia.
Now you would readily agree that these 2 are truly authentic music kings. As we speak there's an on going scramble from would be sponsors, who are willing to be a part of the concert.
According to Scoale Entertainments, who are the organizers of the event, who spoke through their head honcho Scott Igbene, ''this would be a concert like never before'' we are promising all those that would attend & even the sponsors that it would be an unprecedented value for money in all ramifications.

The pack also has 9-bars of chocolate(5 Brown chocolates, 4 white ones), it also has 2 red access cards, which allows for entrance into the venue of event. We hear that without the access cards, there's no entrance. Loads of goodwill from friends and well-wishers has made this nuptial ceremony possible. 2 names that kept recurring from snippets we have gotten are those of Ayiri Emami, the Warri based young Billionaire, who unconfirmed sources said, paid for the bachelor's eve lastnite, he's also said to have paid for the venue of the reception at a cost of some hundreds of thousands of dollars and it is his brand spanking new yacht that supposedly transported the couple from the church wedding venue to where the reception is. The other name spoken about is that of Chima Anyanso. We hear that the 2 amongst several other very liquid friends have been strong backbones. A popular state chief executive even gave the boys 30 million to share.
As we speak, we hear that the likes of D banj, who is one of the groom's men & Bright Okpocha, Ugochukwu Igbokwe, Genevieve Nnaji, Gerald 'Dagogo' Azornobo, Scott Tommy, Rita Dominic, Timaya, Banky W and several others are rocking Dubai to its foundation right now.
