Other Glo Ambassadors on the tour include MI, Flavour and Burna Boy while the fabulously talented masked saxophonist, Lagbaja completes the list.The Benin edition of the show was attended by top government officials and students from higher institutions in Benin City and the adjourning towns of Ekpoma and Okada.
Performing live for the first time the Unlimited song which was inspired by Globacom, and other hit tunes like Alingo, Oyinye and Chop My Money, Psquare brought down the roof with their class act.
Anchored by the resourceful Okey Bakassi who kept the crowd reeling in laughter with his ribs-cracking jokes, the performance by Jay Kolo,who danced with the talented twins, Psqure during their choreographed rendition of Alingo, awed the crowd.
Impressed by the superlative performances by the musical talents that featured at the Glo Slide & Bounce musical concert, Edo State Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Hon. Orobosa Omo-Ojo, described the show as “a world class entertainment.”
Speaking to journalists on his impression about the event, Hon Omo-Ojo said “besides being a world-class event, it is gratifying to know that Globacom is bringing this to our people free of charge.”
Similarly, Prince Patrick Oronsaye, a retired curator and authority on Bini Tradition and Custom, expressed delight at the show. He said that Globacom had demonstrated its love for the Bini people and by extension, the entire people of Edo State, by always including the city in its entertainment plans.
“By my recollection, this will be about the sixth show that Globacom has brought to Benin City free of charge in the last couple of years. I was part of the last two Rock N Rule shows , the previous editions of the Glo Laffta Fest and now the Glo Slide and Bounce concert. What this shows is that Globacom loves the Binis and the entire people of Edo State, and we can only reciprocate this good gestures by making Glo our number one network”, he said.
