OLEKU CONCERT 2012. OH WHAT A GROOVE!!!!! PART 1

Waoh!!!!! So it finally happened!!!!!And what a groove, it turned out to be. It had taken 35 long years for it to finally become a reality, that many had thought could never have happened.  But finally on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at the Harbour Point Event Center, on Wilmot Road, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria, history was finally made. WTS Broadcast Limited, owned by Otunba Deji Osibogun finally did what others couldn't make happen. He brought Chief Commander Evangelist Dr. Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi & the Mercurial King of African Beats, the one, the only King Sunny Ade, Chief Sunday Adegeye on the same stage, to perform together for the very first time in 35 years. It was a fantastic feat that everyone must commend.

How did it go? We just can't describe. To a lot of the guests it was like their dreams have finally come true, a reality playing before many eyes that they didn't think could have happened. Just like the concert title-Oleku had tried to convey, it was spectacular, mind-blowing, extra-ordinary, superlative and unbelievably great. The legends really lived up to their Pre-concert hype. Everyone was taken on a roller-coaster ride of fun, re-living the good old days. Can there ever be the likes of these 2 ever again? We pray and hope so.

Just like we had announced before the show, it was just for 800 guests in total, and the venue was packed to the brim, who didn't we see? Some who couldn't believe at first that the show would happen and were now told that it was going on, were offering outrageous amount to get a table, some wanted a table of 8 for #2Million, another billionaire offered that much also for a table, but it was too good, too late.

We had his Royal Majesty-The Olugbo of Ugboland, Ondo State- Oba Obateru Akinrutan and his Queen around, they came to the concert with like 10 of the Ugboland's High Chiefs, also present was the Governor of Lagos State- Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN and his wife Dame Abimbola Fashola, Governor Emeritus of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who were also special guests, they came in with the National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria- Alhaji Lai Mohammed, we also saw Ekiti State's Deputy Governor- Mrs. Olufunmilola Adunni Olayinka, Lagos State’s Deputy Governor Hon. Adejoke Adefulire, billionaire Alhaji Arisekola Alao, Alhaji Mufutau Olanihun, Akogun Lekan Alabi, we also saw Mr Fola Adeola- ACN's Vice-Presidential Candidiate at the last election, Former Governor of Ogun State Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Otunba Alex Onabanjo, others were Dewunmi Ogunsanya- Chairman DSTV, Dr. Bolu Akin-Olugbade- who we believe has the highest collection of Rolls Royce presently in Nigeria, Md/CEO SEAGLE Properties- Yemi Lawal & Wife, Dapo Davies Nnadi, Deola Kazeem, Aremo Segun Oniru- Commissioner for Waterfront, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, Demola Seriki, Shade Kazeem, Deola Kamson, Mo Abudu, Yinka Osobu, Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, Bashorun Dele Momodu- Publisher Ovation and Presidential Aspirant at the last election, Funmilola Jolaoso, Bolanle Ayeni, Foluso Domingo, Bolade Jegede,Teju Daranijo, Sakiru Oyefeso MD/CEO Staco Insurance,top fashion designer Remi Lagos, Mako Alabi, Bola Alabi, Biola Alabi Md MNET, Kunle Afolayan, Steve Ayorinde md/editor of National Mirror, Demola Odutola, Mo Abudu TV Hostess, Demola Seriki, Bisi Olatilo, Kunle Coker & Shola Coker, Aisha Oyebode, Senator Florence Ita Giwa, Dele Dosunmu, Chief Mrs. Comfort Omoge, Aare Kamorudeen Ajao Danjuma and so many others too numerous to mention.

All in all, it was a super fantastic concert, the legends gave very good accounts of themselves, the ageless Fatai Rolling Dollar, needs to tell everyone the secret to his youthfulness, but not to lie oooo, Baba Sala has aged, when would we at least do something to help such great icons like Pa Moses Olaiya- Baba Sala, it wouldn't cost us all anything.

Like we said before, we must commend the organisers for a very good job well done- Seun Soyinka was superb, so also was Funke Kuti of FLK, KISS EVENTS- Howie t & Bayo Abdul were fantastic & Otunba Osibogun's crew at WTS all did a marvelous job, so also Maestro's Media.

Come October 2012- It's going to be the BATTLE OF THE VICTORS, you all just have to wait for that.  We would keep you posted.  We have a few pictures to show what went down at the event.  There are more pictures after the break. Watch out for the out and about at the concert next. Praaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
