#OLIC 2: Eva Alordiah’s un-impressive performance, Basketmouth snubbed press and 8 other things you missed

Earlier today, we brought you first photos from the most anticipated concert of the year Olamide Live In Concert
(OLIC) 2, which took place on Sunday, at the Eko Convention center, Eko Hotel. In the post, we promised to bring you highglights, scoops and details of what took place at the concert…so here you go!

  1. A case of over sold-out at Eko Convention Center 

It appears the organisers sold tickets that were more than the
capacity of the venue which the made the event quite crowded and
extremely rowdy.
While the hall was packed to the rafters, hundreds of concertgoers
were still outside, even those who purchased tickets at the venue.
The event organizers should definitely think of a bigger venue for OLIC next year or don’t oversell the tickets.

2. Online ticket platforms fail to deliver adequately
Still on ticket sales, we welcome the idea of innovation in entertainment especially in buying concert tickets online.
However, recent concerts have shown that most online ticket platforms in Nigeria are yet to get it right, save for a few.
Before the event started, concertgoers who purchased their tickets
online and produced their printed receipts at the venue in exchange for
physical tickets, were left hanging by the online ticket vendors.
Most of them were later told that the tickets were finished and there was no way to gain access into the event hall.
Moving forward, online ticket vendors should be aware of the actual
figure of physical tickets sold, in order to determine when to stop
selling online tickets.

3. Eva Alordiah’s time wasting performance
Eva Alordiah’s attempt at pulling a theatrical performance fell flat.
The energy, devotion and effort put into her performance at OLIC could be better channeled into churning out a hit song.
The singer/rapper wasted a whole set with a forgettable performance, as she looked more like a filler than a performer.

4. Everybody loves YBNL
2015 in the Nigerian music industry has YBNL written all over it.
They Olamide-led crew are now officially among the hottest labels in the country.
While Baddo Sneh has proven to be a crowd favourite, other
YBNL artistes followed in his footstep by delivering impressive
individual performances.
While DJ Eni Money, the official DJ of the record label wowed the
crowd with his amazing turn-table prowess, Chinko Ekun dazzled fans with
his lyrically-insane freestyle.
Lil Kesh as usual, did not disappoint as the crowd sang along with him, throughout his entire set.
Adekunle Gold silenced critics with a breathtaking live performance of hit songs- Orente and Pick Up.

5. Burna Boy’s electrifying performance
We’re certain Burna Boy was as surprised as we were at the
intensity of the reception he got at OLIC, as the crowd were in ecstatic
mood throughout his performance.
The Don Gorgon gave as much love as he got.

6. Basketmouth ‘too big’ for press?
Really Bright Okpocha?
Of late, the ace comedian has been avoiding press at events, while coming up with all manner of excuses to skip interviews.
At OLIC, the talented comedian brought up this act again when asked to do press.

7. Olamide honoured by Boys Scouts of Nigeria
Last night saw the special recognition of the YBNL General by the
Boys Scouts Association of Nigeria; an association he’s been an active
member of, since childhood.
The Boys Scouts gave him a guard of honour, while he was also
presented with an award for being an excellent ambassador of the
association.

8. Quality crowd control
There was an unprecedented crowd at the 2015 edition of OLIC.
Maybe not so unprecedented, owing to the turn out of 2014.
Despite the sheer number of attendees, there was no report of
squabble, unruly conduct and the likes, as security was beefed up around
the venue.

9. Buchi and his spontaneous jokes
Basketmouth’s 8 years understudy, Buchi stole the show as he delivered brilliantly on the night.
His sharp commentary and witty punch lines got the crowd entertained.

10. Craze Clown, Mama Tobi, Aphricaneape, others’ funny skit
It was a re-union of the popular Nigerian social media comics who delivered a spectacular rib-cracking drama.
