2 KINGS LIVE IN CONCERT UPCOMING!!!

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.  For more info on the concert and daily updates, please follow their official Twitter handle at @2KingsConcert. 

TUFACE & ANNIE by Edgar Joseph in our Bull's Eye series

Now when I was just starting life, I used to know Annie as a small girl who shared a room at the BQ in the house where I used to go play games in a suburb in Lagos. I did not really know her then, but when she gained celebrity status, my then friend pointed it out.

Tuface has over the years ruled my heart. His humility, passion and talent all have combined to create an artiste that has achieved what I would call the artistic trinity. By this I mean you will find in his works, inspiration from the great Fela, the inspirational Bob Marley and the genius of Majek Fashek.

I first had a taste of his raw talent at the defunct French Cultural Centre. As a poor young man, I used to go with my wife Mofoluwake to go watch free shows. This particular evening, a young good looking boy snuck on stage and did one Bob Marley number and disappeared into the night. The performance was mesmerising and I told my wife to watch out for that guy.

The next time I saw him was at my Egbon's studio. The world famous Keke Ogungbe and I remember telling Egbon to sign this guy o.

But today, my story is on his courage. His ability to choose one out of the three or is it 4 women who have children for him. I cannot wait for his return from his fairytale wedding to ask him the following questions:

Was it the cooking, was it the sex, was it the colour, was it ayiri or was it Governor Akpabio that gave Annie the edge over the others.

These are very pertinent questions that could save our democracy and Tuface owes us the answers.

Finally, I am in strong support of Governor Akpabio's kind gesture towards the couple. Annie by this action has shown that Akwa Ibom women are not only beautiful, but are very patient. They would in every circumstance eagerly share their hubby with the rest of the world because of the innate confidence they have in their love making abilities. The men, once they taste Calabar and Akwa Ibom soup, always come back no matter the amount of stew our Yoruba sisters feed them with. They come rushing back with pile. Ask Alibaba.

My only grouse is that, Our wonderful Governor should have at least repaired the road leading to Annie's village and rename it after her as part of the wedding largess.

I thank you

UPDATE ON ANNIE WEDS INNOCENT IDIBIA- KUDOS TO AYIRI EMAMI FOR BEING A ROCK!

RED DELICIOUS AZUKA ON HER WAY TO THE WEDDING

AYIRI EMAMI

You can't find many friends in the mould of Ayiri Emami. The young billionaire is the main shadow behind the whole package that is currently going on in Dubai, the U.A.E.  Where Nigeria's and Africa's number 1 crooner Innocent 'tuface'' Idibia is taking as wife, his jewel of inestimable value Annie Macaulay. 

Either it was deliberate on the side of the couple to mislead or it was just a printer's error, their gorgeous invitation card that was included in their invitation pack had said Friday, March 22, 2013. The venue like the whole world already know, is the imposing 6-stars wonder known to all as the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. 

According to the whisperings that we have gotten, the main financial backbone behind the awesome celebrity wedding which has upped ante in terms of celebrity destination weddings is none other than ''Billionaire Warri Chief'' Ayiri Emami. As we speak, the financial colossus is presently in Dubai with his wife to make sure all goes as it is scripted. 

From very reliable sources, we hear that the conservative estimate of the Ayiri's spending could not have been less than 20 Million Naira. Some even claim that, that is small compared to what might have been spent. 

Let's give you a brief breakdown of some of those things, he is said to have bankrolled. This is apart from a one in town 'Bachelor's eve, he supposedly sponsored the night before.

2 FACE IDIBIA GEARING UP TO HOST WINTER WONDERLAND PARTY

Africa's best Tuface Idibia is set to host thousands of kids this year to a most superlative Christmas Party ever. 

Festive seasons in Nigeria is usually geared towards the adult with no well thought out celebratory events planned for the kids, 2face in conjunction with BM EPIC MEDIA and NOW MUZIK En.Core would like to change this perception by creating a spectacular Winter Wonderland celebration.

The Winter Wonderland theme party is entering its 3rd installment of fun-filled holiday celebration that's geared towards kids between the ages of 2-12. This year promises to be even more amazing with international music artiste 2face hosting 500 children at 10 degrees event centre, Oregun, Lagos on the 18th of December, 2012. 2face Idibia who is scheduled to host the event was quoted saying, “Providing a form of servitude to children especially during the festive period is the little way of him giving back to Nigeria’s future generation” and Deborah Ronke Apampa, (a UK-based TV personality and partner at Barnes & Molby) expressed her excitement by saying, “It gives me a great sense of fulfillment to create excitement for children on this special occasion”.

2face and some of his invited friends will be making guest appearances at the venue to help with the soiree along with Santa Claus, UK’s number 1 children’s party entertainer- OBC Party Saints, and characters from Flaming Fun UK; aside from all these every child will be accorded star treatment and positioned for photo opportunities with known TV/Radio personalities, Comedians, Actors, Musicians and other celebrities. There will also be a plethora of seasonal winter effects on ground like 'snow', 9 foot tall 5 foot wide elves, amusement park rides and goody bags to truly make it representative of the winter holiday season. 

BASKETMOUTH SETS FEBRUARY DATE FOR SINGLE

BRIGHT OKPOCHA

If you call him-Mr. Multi-talented you might be right-He raps-very well at that, he is a Comedian and finally a Compere extraordinaire. Some have even come to refer to him has the Crown Prince of Comedy; whether that's a right assertion is a topic for another day. But we can tell you for a fact that he is good at his job.
The new deal with him right now, is that he is remembering what majorly brought him to the entertainment scene in the first place-Music. He had fallen madly in love in the 90's with Rap Music better known now has Hip-Hop. His many influences or inspirations then were the likes of Wu Tang Clan- made up of the likes of Method Man, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Raekwon, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastards, Inspectah Decks & U-God, Buckshot and many others.

He took his love a step further by collaborating with his elder brother-Godwin and a few other friends to form a Rap Group they named-The Psychopaths made up of 8 members, they experimented in the studios bringing all the 8 elements together, but never released an Album or any of the singles.
