Omawumi’s lasso of concert went down last night and it was just there er- great to an extent!
Though
the show started 2hours late and not many celebs showed up (y, I don’t know) yet Omawumi
achieved what no female artiste in Naija has ever achieved – she successfully pulled off the SHOW.
One of the highpoints of the show was Omawumi’s Ekwe performance with Onyeka onwenu, everyone screamed for joy and gave a standing ovation when the Queen stepped on stage to join her daughter in the beautiful rendition.
And then the 4 sisters’ (Seyi Shay, Tiwa Savage, Waje, and omawonder
herself) rendition of the ever green song ‘No Woman, No Cry’ and
Destiny
Child’s Amen by Destiny child was another beautiful performance – in
fact Waje was damn so gooooooooood especially when she took the highest
musical note…wow!

Other notable performances include the joint performance with Wizkid, Timaya and 2face – oh by the way, seeing 2face for the first time after his return from Dubai brought smiles to people’s face….Omawumi had to thank Annie Idibia for releasing her husband!
Oh
and then she introduced her 86 year old grandpa or iz it uncle – not
too sure but she accredited her bottom belle hit track to him, According to Oma “he is the originator of the song, I only remixed it. He used to sing it 50 years ago, round the house….” and then she made the old man sing on stage – of course everyone clapped!

Celebrities that
attended: 2face and wife, timaya, essence, waje, tiwa n tbillz, wizkid n
tania, onyeka onwenu, timi dakolo, seyi shay, sasha and a few others.
In conclusion, big kudos to Omawumi for the successful concert, and
she even went as far as going to thank the guests with the regular
tickets (humility) unlike some concerts where the guests with the regular invite are treated like nobodies #kokoconcert.
