Not relenting whatsoever, the diary does not end on the 27th of December. On December 29, 2012 just 2 days to the end of the year, there would be 2 shows, one at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island and it's a fashion show by the young & very talented Maryam Afolabi, who owns the fashion brand most know as Mademoiselle Aglaia. And from the little snippets we can gather, it is set to be a show many would not forget in a hurry.
On the same day, but at another venue, there would be a concert headlined by one of the most musically gifted young Nigerian music stars, in the person of Bez. The show is tagged ''BEZ SUPER SUN LIVE CONCERT'' & it would feature the likes of sonorous heavy-weights Omawunmi, Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay, Waje, Praiz & Timi Dakolo.
So where would you rather be at?
