It
was a fun filled evening last Friday, February 12, for the students of
the prestigious University of Lagos as they were treated to an unusual
evening of music and dance.
The
event which is the first ever youth safe-sex concert held in Nigeria,
dubbed “Music Sex and i” saw students turn out in their numbers for the
evening.
Some
of activities lined up for the day were: Rap battle, Edu. Talent hunt,
Take-on-Ten session, Quirky Video confessions from stars and many more.
Speaking
on the purpose of the event, the founder, Cyril K. Okoi stated
that “looking at the alarming rate of health issues, and being that
youths are the most vulnerable set of people, we decided to use music to
preach safe sex with confessions from a caliber of people who these
youngsters look up to -the celebrities”
The
sold out event had in attendance celebs such as multiple awards winning
actor OC Ukeje, GUS 8 winner Chris Okagbue, KIKI Omeili, Paschalin
Alex, GUS 9 winner Candice Otto, Immaculate of project fame and others,
who engaged the students in an interactive session tagged the
“Take-on-Ten” where each celebrity took turns to educate the young
people on the essence of safe sex based on their personal experiences.
The
video confessions came from celebrities such as Timi Dakolo, Joke
Sylva, UTI Nwachukwu, Denrele, Brian Okwara, Shaydee, Peejay, Social
Media influencer Wofai Fada, e.t.c.
“We
wanted a platform where we could sit young people together & make
them listen to important information that they need to know. And we
believe music is a powerful tool with the ability to seamlessly connect
people irrespective of language, culture, tribe, gender or age”, added
the founder.
The
concert ended on a great note with electrifying performances from
Nigeria’s hit makers such as YCee, ketchup, Immaculate, Show Dem camp,
Funbi and Poe, among others.
