Few days after the demise of South African
anti-apartheid revolutionary, philanthropist and politician, Nelson
Mandela, some Nigerian stars in partnership with Mo Abudu’s EbonyLife TV, have
initiated a star-studded tribute for him.
Titled “The Legacy Lives … A Tribute
Concert”, it’s organised for the celebration of the extraordinary life and
times of the legendary freedom fighter, nation builder, liberator,
humanitarian, democrat, unity promoter, instrument of change, philanthropist,
Nobel Peace Prize winner, the first democratically elected black South African
President and an inspiration to leadership for the rest of the world.
Top Nigerian stars for the concert include Dbanj, 2Face, Darey, Burna Boy, Ikechukwu, Eldee the Don, Zaina, Mo Easy, Engager, Chioma, DJ Babus, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Julius Agwu, Mike Aremu, J. Martins, Niyola, Omawunmi, Tiwa Savageand Rocksteady, amongst others.
Daily Newswatch gathered that the event, which is scheduled to hold on December 18, 2013, at The Oceanview Restaurant, Victoria Island, Lagos, promised to be a very befitting and groundbreaking honour in memory of the extraordinary life and unselfish contributions of one of the greatest beacons of hope, inspiration and freedom to ever walk the surface of this earth.
According to Funmi Victor-Okigbo, Chief Executive Officer, No Surprises Events, “We’ll ensure that the event is orchestrated and executed to perfection according to world-class standards.”
For Mo Abudu, Chairman and CEO of EbonyLife TV, “It’s one of the least of things we can do as Nigerians, Africans and Global Black citizens of the world to honour a unique, caring and very humble global character.”
Furthermore, she said: “Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela lives on as a beacon of hope and a true icon of inspiration; a man of extraordinary vision who has left such a great legacy of humanity that Africans and the rest of the world must strive to aspire to. So we are indeed very proud to put this together. It’s a free concert for the expensive price of liberty paid for by the selfless Madiba. We made a call to the industry and we got really tremendous response. For all our music stars and partners, we cannot thank you all enough for your sacrifice, kindness and generosity, which themselves typify the spirit of ‘Ubuntu’, which is South African for humanity. God bless you all.”
There is already a groundswell of activity and anticipation about the event which already has everything it takes to go down into history as a major rallying point for the celebration of the life and legacy of the man, The Madiba.
