Many days after the musical concert in Owerri, Imo State, which attracted residents from across the South East zone, residents of the area are asking for an encore, a repeat performance which they said will help them break the boredom of the times. The show tagged Yudala Imo My Pride Mega Music Concert witnessed thrilling performances from twin sensation, P-Square and Mavins star, Dr. Sid which kept the massive crowd at the Heroes Square, Owerri up all night on December 21st.
However, days after the show, the residents of the area are asking for more. The musical extravaganza was a follow-up to a successful and well-attended youth entrepreneurship summit organised by Yudala in conjunction with the Alumni of Imo State University.
“We have never witnessed anything near this in this part of the country. We were first taken through the roads to successful entrepreneurship a couple of weeks ago and now a musical concert to break the boredom of this moment in our history as a nation. I want to thank Yudala for staging this show but we want more…more summits, more music”, gushed young Ezekiel Akachukwu, who has already set his eyes on becoming one of the best innovators in software engineering in the world.
Other residents who spoke to our reporter voiced the same sentiment: they want more summits on entrepreneurship as well as entertainment to calm nerves.
The event, which featured as part of the activities for the Imo Carnival 2016 had in attendance the Executive Governor, Imo State, Dr. Rochas Okorocha; Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere; Chairman, Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, members of the Imo State House of Assembly and a number of first class traditional rulers.
Also in attendance was the Executive Governor, Cross River, Prof. Ben Ayade who was the Special Guest of Honour.
A night which got underway with a carnival parade by dance troupes from various local governments in Imo State eventually saw a high-octane musical feast when the Yudala Imo My Pride Concert commenced from 2am.
With upcoming act Akuchi Amadi raising the curtain and David Grey again showing why he is unarguably one of the most promising talents in the music scene, the atmosphere was lifted when Ten Over Ten crooner, Naeto C took over.
Next up was Dr. Sid. Hit after hit, the Mavins star and medical doctor-turned-singer/songwriter took the crowd to a higher level with an energetic performance which prepared the grounds for headline acts, P-Square.
The Anambra-born entertainers did not disappoint, delivering a thrilling performance featuring a plethora of hit songs with the high-point being the rendition of their latest effort – Bank Alert – which had everyone singing and dancing along.
