History was made in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Wednesday when King Sunny
Ade, 2Face, Mega 99, Femi Solar, Dele Bravo, Princess Ifemide and other
artistes recieved royal blessings from the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye
Ogunwusi.
The performance of Sunny Ade, who was hosted by the Ooni in
commemoration of his 70th birthday celebration in the city, illustrated
the essential difference between KSA and other artistes on ground.
The venue of the event was ecstatic when 2Face breezed in
unexpectedly. He would later light up the stage with popular hits such
as ‘One Love’ and ‘African Queen’, which, according to him, was
dedicated to Olori Wuraola. He later paid homage to Ooni and
congratulated KSA on his birthday.
Mega 99’s performance was another moment that got people dancing for
more than 30 minutes. Aside the Ooni’s blessings, KSA also went on stage
to publicly shower prayers on him after sharing the stage with Mega99.
Other artistes that thrilled at the event included Gbenga Falope,
Olajire twins, while comedian, Taiwo Olusanya, a.k.a Obama , cracked
jokes and assisted the anchorman, Mr Laolu Olatubosun.
The event was graced by Ife chiefs, dignitaries and youths. Ooni who
was the host, expressed his delight to be part of the success of the
event which was organised by the Apreel 1 Event Management, adding that,
“It is important to celebrate people, especially those who have made
impact in their chosen fields. I thank God that I am part of this
history. KSA deserved more than this and I am happy that Ile-Ife and
Osun State at large dimmed it fit to celebrate the music legend at this
unique time.”
