The colorful event kept getting more exciting with each artiste that mounted the stage. First of the big names that perfomed was Omawumi Megbele a.k.a OMAWONDA. As a Delta State home-girl  the crowd gave her a rousing ovation all through her rendition of those beautiful hit songs right down to when she got off the stage to mingle with the crowd.

And a few minutes after Alade's performance, the Sex Symbol King of high-life/Ragga music: Flavor hit the stage and gave something beyond a mere performance. Flavor actually got the crowd wild with a mixture of explosive dance-steps, songs  and a powerful session of stand-up comedy that flowed naturally making some of the guys in the audience to take off their T-Shirts and scribble messages of appreciation on them and held high for the cameras to see.

Cool Guy Flavor, loved by all

When P SQARE mounted the stage at about 10p.m, not one single person remained seated almost during the entire performance. Phyno and Olamide also lived up and beyond the expectations of their teaming fans.

P SQUARE back together and stronger than ever
