Mega Music Nationwide Tour, a concept of
telecommunications giant, Globacom, will this Saturday in Enugu feature a
convergence of music stars including Chinedu Okoli, known as Flavour; Chibuzor
Nelson Azubuike, a.k.a. Phyno, and Douglas Agu (Runtown), who are all from the South Eastern part of
the nation.
The trio are
dubbed ‘042’ artistes, a term which
refers to music stars who were raised or who cut their musical teeth in
the coal city whose telephone code is ‘042’. Flavour, for instance, had
entertained at a local pub before he broke into the big league, while both
Phyno and Agu have ethnic affinity to the city and had started their careers
there. The '042' artistes will be joined by Tuface, Timaya, Olamide and Korede
Bello who are also brands with national appeal.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues in the ‘042’
group, Flavour assured that he was very excited to be in Enugu. "This is like going back to my
roots and I cannot wait to see not only my fans in the city but those old folks
we grew up together in Enugu. It is going to be a show like never before for
all of us", Flavour declared.
Phyno and Runtown in the same vein promised to give their
fans unbridled fun as they also consider their Enugu trip as a grand
homecoming.
Patience Ozokwor popularly known as Mama G is another
artiste from Enugu who will be attending the show with Richard Mofe-Damijo and
Angela Okorie as celebrity guests, while Nollywood divas, Ebube Nwagbo and Uche Jombo, will anchor the
show.
Explaining why the show is featuring the calibre of
artistes, Globacom said, "Enugu is very strategic to the Glo business and
these artistes are ready in all ramifications to give all the people coming for
the show world-class entertainment. Incidentally, three of the artistes,
Runtown, Phyno and Flavour, had their formative years in the city. For their
fans in the city and beyond, the show affords them the rare opportunity of
touching base with their icons".
Globacom enjoined subscribers to use up to N2,000 for
data or voice calls within a month and send a text message "MUSIC
ENUGU" to a short code 207 to get a
free invite to watch the show.
