The expansive Michael Okpara
Square, at the Independence Layout, Enugu was filled to the brim as Yudala
Coalfest Zero overwhelms the city on Saturday, reports ITRealms.
The event, ITRealms gathered
attracted a number of distinguished guests including the Governor of Enugu
State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; Deputy Governor, Hon Cecilia Ezeilo; Deputy
Senate President, Dr. Ike Ekweremadu; Chairman, Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, Commissioner
for Culture and Tourism, Enugu State, Hon. Rita Mbah as well as members of the Enugu
State House of Assembly.
The Yudala Coalfest Zero Gravity, ITRealms gathered also attracted attendance
figure of over 120,000 and saw the security forces struggling to contain the
huge crowd present.
The event – which kicked off with
a series of striking performances from a plethora of upcoming artistes – was
remarkable in terms of the variety of entertainment on offer for the audience. From
a nostalgia-inducing performance from One
World, the Nigerian Afro-Rock Group of the 1970s who rolled back the years
with a masterful delivery of some of their timeless songs, through the
indigenous flavor delivered by a local flute player, the crowd gathered in the
Michael Okpara Square were treated to a memorable night of sublime
entertainment.
One after the other, the strong
cast of artistes on the roll-call for the night took their turns to raise the
excitement even higher.
Mr. Raw who led the way, did not
disappoint as he churned out some of his most popular songs signposted by his
latest release – Blessing – which had
the crowd singing along. With David Grey delivering another well-choreographed
performance and Naeto C taking the engagement levels even higher by mingling
with the crowd, the atmosphere in the Michael Okpara was super-charged by the
time the Osinachi crooner,
Humblesmith took the stage with his live band to get everyone dancing to the
pure sounds being dished out.
From then on, the event reached a
fever-pitch with the introduction of Zoro whose dancers serenaded the audience
with a gravity-defying dance routine of the hit song – Ogene. Zoro’s performance, which had the crowd asking for more, set
the tone for Founder/Vice President, Yudala, Prince Nnamdi Ekeh to deliver a
brief vote of thanks and introduce the night’s headline artiste, Flavour.
As expected, the talented singer,
songwriter and multi-instrumentalist brought the event to a fitting close with a
masterful performance featuring many of his most popular songs.
