Timeless Concert with Davido was punctual to the delight of those who got to the venue early— this was unlike the past when concert attendees usually complained about the late arrival of the headliner artistes.
The sound system also was different from past music concerts hosted in Lagos in the past.
There was also tight security at the place. Recall that Davido revealed on Wednesday that paid a visit to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Idowu Owohunwa, who assured the singer of adequate security.
The concert didn’t look anything different from the CP’s assurance.
So far, no fight or reports of harassment or any other form of criminality has been mentioned despite the huge crowd.
However, while Davido was performing, a stage invader found his way onto the stage and launched aggressively toward OBO.
Luckily for Davido, he stood his ground holding a tight fist. But for the swift intervention of the security personnel, the stage intruder may have gone home with a black eye. The young man who was visibly pointing at Davido while being bundled off the stage was later tossed back into the crowd.
Davido’s uncle, who is also the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, fondly known as the ‘Dancing Governor’, was present at the occasion and he grooved to some of the songs of his nephew.
Also, Nigerian journalist/publisher, businessman, motivational speaker, and a close friend of the Adeleke family, Dele Momodu, graced the event, as well as legendary afro-juju singer, Sir Shina Peters. Also in attendance was Davido’s cousin and singer, B-Red.
One major highlight of the event is the fact that Davido flew into Lagos with virtually all the artistes that were featured on the album. One of the shocks during the event was when Asake surprised Davido on stage and they performed together. Asake, one of the fast-rising stars in the Nigerian music scene, caused a frenzy among the audience with his presence.
David didn’t forget the bellies of the audience as there was food in surplus. A tweet by popular Lagos OAP, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi said:
“First concert I’ve been to where the food (on the tables) is nice. Hot jollof & chicken, Spaghetti, small chops, suya, etc #TimelessConcert Those ‘event halls’ should take note.”
Content creators, Kie Kie, and Mr Macaroni, and dancer, Softmadeit, were on the ground as well to thrill the crowd with electrifying dance moves, which made the audience ecstatic.
