Music Fans Fall For 2 Face

THE ancient city of Benin in Nigeria was last Saturday rocked with the loud vibration of music, which blasted the Sports Complex of University of Benin (Uniben) venue of the much-hyped MTN Xtra Cool musical concert tour with 2face and friends. Over 10,000 adult youths most of whom were students of Uniben and surrounding higher institutions thronged the mega concert venue to watch celebrity artistes that had teamed up with multiple award-winning singing sensation, 2Face. The occasion was the kick-off of the much publicized ‘MTN Xtra Cool Tour with 2Face and Friends’, put together by Dojoes Management and powered by MTN’s lifestyle youthful brand, Xtra Cool. The concert was preceded by a visit to the Good Samaritan Home on Saturday March 1, 2008, just hours before the concert proper. The tour team comprised MTN, Dojoes Management, 2Face Idibia and a retinue of artiste friends such as Sasha, Marvellous Benji and Sound Sultan among others. 2Face donated various items on behalf of MTN, which included food, clothes, shoes to the less privileged children of the home. The ‘African Queen’ crooner inspired residents of the orphanage with his words and music which he sang to the admiration of all. And to the joy of the children of the home, the mega music star, in his magnanimity, donated a sum of N100, 000 in cheque. His donation was supported by the chief executive officer of Dojoes Management, Femi Ogundipe. The concert proper on Saturday, kicked off at 4.00pm and was rounded off by 8.00 pm, with a party at Hexagon Night Club.
