hop super stars as well as the huge turnout of students to round up the
thrilling Tuface and friends campus connect tour sponsored by Amstel Malt, the
premium low sugar malt drink from the stable of Nigerian Breweries plc which
played host to Nigerian’s Afro hip hop singing sensation, Innocent Ujah Idibia,
popularly called Tuface, and other talented musicians. Continue...
The Campus Connect gig train which was
received in Benin City, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Abuja had several budding and
notable artistes thrilling their fans. They include: Ranson, Money B, Hype M.C,
Efa, Young Grace, 2Sec, Rocksteady, Damy Crane, Sheyi Shay, Rough Coil, Vector,
Solid Star, Phyno, Sound Sultan and the winner of Amstel Malta Show time in
2012, Same .
Music lovers in Lagos got more than
they bargained for as these music acts offered interactive music renditions
which drew endless applause and joyful moments from them. The mammoth crowd,
comprising students from University of Lagos, Yaba College of Technology, Lagos
State Polytechnic and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education Lagos defied the
heavy downpour to enjoy music performance by Tuface and friends.
Speaking on behalf of the Brand
Manager, Amstel Malta, Miss Hannatu Ageni Yusuf expressed her appreciation for
the impressive turn out and the outstanding musical performances. “Amstel Malta
has always championed and advanced the course of youths by encouraging them to
be the best that they can be. Tonight’s performance is also a clear
demonstration of being able to connect to the University students and the good
people of Lagos”.
She added that “The Amstel Malta brand
has a penchant for promoting good values in the youths in a bid to chart a good
course for Nigeria as a nation. TuFace and his friends have been awesome and
Amstel Malta, the low sugar premium brand from Nigerian Breweries is indeed
delighted to be associated with them”.
She promised that the next edition will
be bigger and more exciting as the team will do a proper analysis to adjust and
add on some ideas to create that moment of interaction with Nigerian hip hop
stars and the students.
The audience received Tuface with
uncontrollable chants of excitement. Apart from churning out some his iconic
music tracks, TuFace also pepped up his performance with a repertoire of
chorographers while he perfected the act of singing as well as skilfully
manoeuvring his lanky gait. With cans of Amstel Malta in their hand, Tuface
proved to his fans for the umpteenth time why he is unarguably one of Nigeria’s
hottest musical exports to the global scene.
The crowd cheered endlessly as 2Face
recreated his popular tracks with improvisations. Tracks such as ‘For
instance’, ‘Bush meat’, ‘Nfana Ibaga’, ‘U no holy pass’, ‘See me so’, ‘No
shaking’, ‘Enter the place’, ‘Implication’, and his hit track from his recent‘
Away and Beyond’ album tagged ‘Ihe neme’. Certainly, TuFace backed
by his friends lived up to his billing as one of Nigeria’s top acts, he also
provided the undergraduates with the opportunity to be the best they can be.
