A number of first-class entertainers including WizKid and Tu Baba (Tuface) are to set Lagos agog at the Vibes on the Beach holding between December 29 to 31 at the Landmark Beach arena, Victoria Island.

Already, WizKid, Grammy award-winning singer, has confirmed he will perform at the Vibes on the Beach on December 30 and promises to make it a memorable show for all city fun seekers.

The December 30th event is part of a three-day end of the year entertainment being packaged by Toro Entertainment Company with the support of CIG Motor, Lontor, Gree, First Bank, Pepsi and Pillow.
The other two events are Eko 4 Show – Wave of Afrobeats on December 29 and Vibes on the Beach – The DJ Rave – December 31 at the same venue.
Wizkid spoke on Wednesday in Lagos at a pre-event press conference through his manager, Sunday Are, in response to enquiries by entertainment journalists.


The Nigerian sensational singer also used the opportunity to explain why he did not honour invitation to perform at a concert in Ghana and another in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire recently, blaming it on “safety and production issues”.
But the organisers of the Lagos Vibe on the Beach said they do not have such challenges.
The Chief Executive Officer of Toro Entertainment Company, Adetoro Fowoshere, said they decided to take the three-day show to LandMark Beach in Victoria Island, where maximum security and enough space for all invited artistes to express themselves would be guaranteed.
She said, “Good time is guaranteed. Technologically, we have one of the best teams in terms of production in Nigeria, partnering with local vendors to give the best of experience.”
The Toro CEO described the collaboration between her company and LandMark in hosting this year’s show as “a marriage made in heaven”, adding that “we plan to continue the relationship for many years to come.”
She also said massive support was being expected from the Lagos State Government especially with the Eko 4 Show on December 29 which would celebrate and promote Lagos State.
A number of famous singers lined up for the show include Tu Baba, Timaya and Awilo Longomba (a Congolese).


One of the artistes scheduled for performance, Cobhams Asuquo, expressed excitement for being part of the show.
He said, “There is a lot of synergy among those involved in the show. You will have a standout experience from different artistes that will be performing. Expect heavily detailed performance.
“You will see the artistes perform not just on stage but their work well translated. It will be an emotional experience.”
He added that the event would provide an opportunity to present the best DJs in Nigeria and West Africa.
Senior Strategy Manager at Landmark, Utibe Bassey, said the company took pride in providing relaxed ambience for its guests and has put in place measures for safe environment.
“People come here to enjoy themselves. This show will not be an exception. In fact, we will have soldiers working with other security agents to keep the place secured,” he said.
A media personality, Miss Hawa Magaji, said she was excited to work with some of the best professionals in the country on the project.
“I was one of the hosts at the last year’s show. It was big. This year’s will be bigger and a memorable one. I’ll be working with the likes of Mr. Macaroni and others.”

Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits

It is no news that in the last five years, film producers cum actresses, Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have been engaged in an unspoken rivalry.

In fact, industry players claimed that their rivalry has resulted in both actresses not featuring in the same film until Bolanle Austen Peters decided to have both actresses on the set of Netflix original, ‘House of Gaa.’

The two actresses have become cinema queens after embracing and producing some of Nigeria’s highest grossings films in cinema in the last five years.

Though Akindele seems to have won the battle on the streets of cinema with at least three of her flicks grossing the highest numbers, Abraham has also given her a run for her money every year.

Hence, 2024 won’t be different as both popular producers have their films in the cinema again this December.

With all the right marketing put in place to ensure both films enjoy great time at the box office, the film stars are still not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring they surpass each other in 2024.

Interestingly, the two actresses have shared two common factors that only industry watchers have noticed for the 2024 productions. Both producers have FilmOne distributing their works, which incidentally, are fresh installments of their old franchises – Akindele returns with ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ while Abraham is in the cinema with ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee.’

On Wednesday, December 18, film lovers claimed that both actresses were spotted at the Ikeja City Mall, for meet and greet with fans individually.

It is unsure if the rivalry will see an end as both producers have pitched their tents with a December release in the cinema.

Keen watchers also believe the rivalry might grow further with the entrant of Mercy Aigbe, who seems to have jumped on the wagon after the releases of her films, ‘Ada Omo Daddy’ and ‘Thin Line,’ in December 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
