The organizers of were very confident
and sure of themselves even at conception and execution of strategies towards
the event. They worked as a team. During the breads rising campaign, they
applied distinctiveness to it and even on the day of the program they did the
same.
There were lights installed on the
street in a zigzag formation, chairs and tables were set on the two sides of
the street thereby, letting the center serve as a walk way and there was a
barbeque stand where chicken was grilled not forgetting the array of mobile
businesses on ground – women selling drinks and food.
The Dj was on top of one stage while
the performances were done on another stage as there were two separate stages
for the show. DJ Trips was on the mix.
The Master of Ceremony made the show
lively as he spoke multilateral lingua franca. He spoke using English, Chinese
and Pidgin. When he introduced himself no one knew because he did it in Chinese
– he said “wo de zhongguo mingzi shi Wuqi, buguo wo de pengyou jiao wo fedricx”.
When asked by Kirikiri town family, he translated the meaning to be “my Chinese
name is Wuqi but my friends call me fedricx”.
When Fedricx summoned Immaculate to the
stage, there was uproar. She performed live in her very own street jam, the
same street where she grew up. Everyone was so excited. This was one of the
much anticipated performances which made parents stay outside until 2am.
However, her performance amplified the altitude of the crowd and this led to
the introduction of another much awaited act known as 2smart. His music further
provoked the enthusiasm among the crowd. He wasn’t allowed to leave the stage
after his time was due. The crowd wanted more.
Something unforeseen happened when the
chairman of Skido Oil and Gas challenged female dancers at the event to a dance
competition. He proposed a cash prize NGN5000 for any female dancer who dances
best to Immaculate’s music. Immaculate herself conducted the voting process
which was to be decided by the crowd. Joy (Agunbiade) and Nelly (Johnson)
contested intensely but, Joy was preferred by the crowd. However, another
confirmation was done by Fedricx which Joy again emerged winner before the Chairman
was invited to present the prize. “They have both tried and the prize will be
shared 60:40 between the winners” said the Chairman. Everyone valued the rational
decision.
Other artistes who performed were Big
blend, Baba Kirikiri, Mr. Cope, Tundee, Genesis, Sololo, SOJ, Naked,
Activities, Fizzy, TC and a host of others.
Some foreigners believed to be from India
and Bangladesh was live at the event.
Everyone in attendance was so organized.
Law and order was appropriately observed. The CSO of the CDA 1 and his team were
on ground to ensure concord.
“I swear na the best street jam be this”
a participant said. “I have been selling in all the street jam’s in Kirikiri town,
this one is the best.” Another said favorably. “Una try well well, I enjoyed
myself” a participant all the way from Lagos Island said beneficially.
Awards were presented to some
individuals: Baale Johnson which was presented to Adisa 1 and Apesin 1 which
was given to Tokunbo . Kudos to Adisa, matthew Tokunbo and George Edache, they
are the Organisers of the show.
Watch out for the next street jam!
Our motto remains…Upgrading Standards.
