Top officials of Anambra State government, on Friday, night joined other Glo subscribers in the state capital, Awka, to savour the best of entertainment as the Glo Slide ‘n’ Bounce concert packaged by the Next Generation Network, Globacom, hit the state.
Among those who attended the concert were: Mr Obi Nwankwo, Anambra State Commissioner for Public Utilities; Mr Emeka Okoye, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Willie Obaino on Project Monitoring and Compliance; his counterpart in Creative Media and Nollywood veteran, Bob-Manuel Udokwu; Special Assistant on Protocol, Obiano Evans; Senior Special assistant on Environment, Ms. Tochi Obi and the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Anambra Broadcasting Service, Mr. Uche Nworah.
Others were Willie Nwokoye, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Chairman, Anambra State House of Assembly Committee on Works, Hon. Dr. Umeh Ikechukwu, and Anambra State Police Commissioner, Mr Hosiah Karma.
The concert, held at the Marble Arch Event Centre, drew such a huge crowd that many of the dignitaries and fun seekers had to watch the pulsating performances from the huge screen provided by the organisers to take care of the overflowing crowd.
Signals that the evening was bound to be memorable emerged when the Awka-based up and coming artistes, Chuks-D, Thiotee, C1- Osinachi, Young Breeze, E Neutral, D Prince, Sir Fair, SP and the thrilling Omega Inspired Dance group, put up a spectacular opening show.
Further glamour was added to the show by the bevy of ladies contesting for the Miss Anambra Beauty Pageant, billed to take place later in the month. They attended the event wearing the insignia of their respective Local Governments.
Master guitarist and Glo brand Ambassador, Bez, who was the first of the bigger arts for the night, took off from that octane point as he opened his electrifying performance by singing love lyrics to the beautiful damsels one after the other. Bez took the show to a high level when he sang his hit track, “Stupid Song” and displayed a dexterous mastery of the guitar as he swiveled around many times while playing away on the guitar.
Renowned rapper, MI, entered the stage with his “Bo Se Danfo” track and the audience went literarily wild, as everybody stood up to dance to the lyrics of the Taraba State-born vocalist. MI was simply at his best as the crowd joined in singing all his tracks such as “Let’s Go There”, “I nobody Talks about you”, “Gbabe”.
His “killer” act for the night was when he drew one of the beauty pageant contestants to the stage and made a mock marriage proposal.
The high point of the night was the coming of “Nabania” exponent, Flavour, and his live band crew. For almost an hour, Flavour held the audience practically spellbound as he sang virtually all his hit tracks to the delight of the crowd, some of who brought his portrait and posters to show love to the “waka waka baby” king.
