For the
residence of Ojuelegba, a bustling community in Lagos, 2015 Valentine day
celebration is definitely one that they will not forget in a hurry as the
Spirit of Lagos, a Movement committed to restoring the lost glories of Lagos
stormed the area with the sensational and wonder kid artiste, OzzyBosco as part
of its just concluded Do The Right Thing road tour.
The
residence, who gathered at the cross-road under the bridge venue of the road
show, could not resist the dancing steps and the sonorous songs from the kid
artiste who is also an Ambassador of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority
(LAWMA).
The wonder kid
rendered some of his songs including the popular Keep Lagos Clean. Currently,
he has three music videos and 13 singles which includes his latest gospel song
‘U Reign’ featuring Midnight Crew and Dr. Tee Mac (MFR). He has also featured some A-list artistes
such as MI, Olamide, Flavour and Sound Sultan among others.
Exuding joy
at the performance of Ozzy Bosco during the show which lasted for three hours,
his mother, Chief (Mrs) Adah Mojekwu
appreciated the Spirit of Lagos for providing such a platform for her son to
connect with his fans and to further entrench the message of keeping Lagos
clean, which is also his pet project.
“Ozzy Bosco
is concerned with the welfare of children and seeing that every child, in line
with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) Convention for the Rights of
Child, enjoys the rights unhindered. He also like clean and sustainable
environment and this informs why he accepted to perform at the Spirit of Lagos
road tour which in any case, conforms to his ideals and beliefs,” she said.
The
just-concluded Do The Right Thing road show by the Spirit of Lagos was aimed at
sensitizing the people of Lagos on the need to do things that conform with
societal norms like making use of the pedestrian bridges where available
instead of dashing through the major roads and endangering their lives; , keeping
their environment clean by disposing of their refuse properly; paying their
taxes, and effectively participating in the process of governance by obtaining
their Permanent Voters Cards to cast their votes which is part of their civic
responsibility.
Prior to the
road tour, the team had used different channels to drive the ‘CHANGE YOUR THINKING’ campaign which has the
primary objective of re-orientating Lagos to begin to think and act positively
in order to restore those unique values that made Lagos a safe, just,
prosperous and neighbourly place to live in and visit in the past.
The road
tour which commenced three weeks back, saw the team visiting high human traffic
areas around Lagos including Oshodi Market, Agege Pen Cinema, Oyingbo market,
Badagry, Mushin market, Ojodu Berger, Ijesha Bus Stop, Pako-Aguda, Festac,
Ajegunle, Oke Ira in Ogba and Okokomaiko among many other places with the
message of attitudinal and behaviourial change.
The Spirit
of Lagos has its objectives based on four cardinal points: Social Justice,
where we are all respected and our rights are preserved; Civic Responsibility, Understanding
that we all have a part to play in developing and sustaining our communities
and public services; Citizenship, our voluntary commitment to knowing and
maintaining law and order and Good Neighbourlines, doing unto others as we
would like done unto us - all for one, one for all.
