Poised
to promote the legacy of the Lady of Songs, Late Chief Mrs. Christy
Essien Igbokwe, a group has organised a world class
event where tributes will be paid to her, and her new album “All Of A Sudden” will
be launched along with her greatest hits as well as the grand
launch of the Christy Essien Igbokwe Memorial Foundation.
A release made available to Daily Newswatch
stated that the event will take place on November 17, 2013 at Intercontinental
Hotel, Lagos. Red carpet will start by 4pm while the main event will kick off
at 6pm.
According to them, “We all know Mummy
Christy was a very charitable person who strongly believed that service to
humanity is service to God. Before her death she planned to launch her
foundation ‘The Christy Essien Igbokwe Foundation’ and release her 11th album
on the 11th day of November 2011 (11/11/11). She was able to achieve some studio
recording for this well anticipated album and we intend to keep her dream and
vision alive by launching it alongside her greatest hits. Thus we came up with
programmes to drive her legacy and to emphasise what she lived for,” they stated.
Furthermore, they said: “We would like to
celebrate her art, her style and her charitable gesture to humanity. Thus the
event is tagged ‘Christy Her Heart And Style. Since the event is strictly by
invitation we're giving out invitations to fans via an essay competition tagged "How well do you know the Lady of Songs" where they'll log into the official website http://www.christyessienigbokwememorialfoundation.com and
upload their 250 word essay to win Invites, compact discs and other consolation
prizes.”
