Biodun Caston Dada:Kim puts a hole in Darey's concert

And Kim Kardashian Puts A Hole In Darey's "Love... Like A Movie" Concert

I was finding it so difficult to do this review based on two facts. One,
that people may take it as a misrepresentation and may decided to castigate
Darey for even thinking of inviting Kim Kardashian to "co-host" his highly
successful theatrical Valentines concert tagged "Love... Like A Movie".
Secondly, for the fear of it going viral online, thereby putting a dent in
Darey's blossoming career.
  I sparsely go to Nigerian events lately due to
the simple fact that I hardly enjoyed it because of too many ills that
could have been avoided especially when it comes to been timely and
technical hitches which used to mar the events, but I decided to attend
Darey's Vals concert based on the facts that I owe him one (he voluntarily
hosted my first BlackBerry Fever Party for Free) and based on the hype and
publicity build up that was excellently done before the event which
generated enough interest and also because of the side-attractions of the
circus ringers that were announced will be part of the show.
 
What took the hype and publicity to a frenzy height was the announcement of Kim
Kardashian, the top American reality show star to "co-host" the concert.
Been a big fan (no apologies, lol), it was a perfect opportunity to see
this beautiful reality show stunner which I know many of her Nigerian fans
were also hoping to use to see the petite celeb.

  This was what turned out
to be the biggest mistake the show organisers made. I felt so disappointed
that Kim Kardashian announcement to "co-host" the event didn't become a
reality after-all, she only graced the stage for less than a minute and the
sad (or good) part was that her appearance wasn't even felt because from
the opening of the show which started few minutes after 8pm till like 10pm
Darey mesmerised us, his fans and guests alike with his stage artistry and
sonorous voice, churning out various hits upon hits both from his own songs
and international classic love songs.

Darey also find solace and support in his fellow Nigerian artistes like
2face, Waje, Timi Dakolo, Praize, etc who gave good accounts of themselves
by jamming to live band throughout the show. Kudos also to Circque du
Soleil an extreme theatre company for their spectacular choreography and
displays. The show was so well choreographed. The stage, lighting and sound
was simply out of this world. The circus ringers sure added colours and fun
to the concert with their gymnastics and acrobatic moves. I doubted if I've
seen anything like this in recent times.
  For that 2 and half hours, Darey
held us spellbound! Did we miss Kim Kardashian not to have fully been part
of the concert? It's capital NO! What I was expecting from the organisers
was for Kim to have signed autographs for her fans, take pictures with
people on the Red Carpet and be in charge of the stage and not just to have
eaten dinner with the Platinum Ticket holders and taken pictures with few
selected celebrities.
   She would have even visited and donated to a charity
home since it's even a season of love and that in itself would have boosted
her image. Even considering the staggering $500k been rumoured she
collected for the show which to me is false and outrageous (that's another
story entirely, so watch out for my piece "Don't Believe The Hype" on
that).

I think it's high time our Nigerian artistes learn from issues like these
and have confidence in themselves to stage a good show. No harm in inviting
foreign act(s) that you know will add values to your event. Darey's concert
is a case study on how a show should be organized. It was a 5 hour of
cheerful bliss. From publicity, organisation, technicalities, timing and
stage craft. With "Love... Like A Movie" concert, Darey scored A and had
taken concerts packaging to the next level. In all, it was an amazing show
that worth every penny spent on its ticket. Lol!

Did you enter America with valid papers?

I entered the US with a valid passport and a valid visa. I was invited by a church, Mountain of Peace C and S Church, Washington,  for a musical workshop and it lasted for three months. Six of us went on the trip and after the workshop, the visa expired after six months and I didn’t know anything about the immigration stuff in America. I didn’t know I would need social security and other papers. I lost my status and that was the beginning of my problem in America.

But it was reported that you entered the US with forged papers.

No, that is not true. I entered America first with valid papers. I was given the visa on March 13 and I left Nigeria on April 11 and got to America on April 12 1997. I want them to check the record; I got there legally with a visiting visa but it got expired after six months. The church promised to help; they got an immigration lawyer for me but the filing wasn’t approved and I ran out of status. I borrowed money to go to America then and I had to work to be able to pay back. I stayed back until I got a job; I got the social security but I didn’t have green card. Throughout my stay in America, I was working with my

15 year old girl who performed at Obama's inauguration killed in Chicago

Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old girl who performed at President Barack Obama's inauguration last week, has been shot dead in Chicago, a media report said. Pendleton was shot dead while hanging out with friends after school, reported NBC News.

She had performed with the King College Prep school band at Obama's inauguration. She was standing under a canopy in Vivian Gordon Harsh Park when a gunman came from an alley, opened fire and fled, police said.

She was shot in the back but managed to run about a block before she collapsed. She died at hospital.

A 16-year-old boy was wounded in the attack. Pendleton, who did not have a criminal record, was probably not the intended target. "Never in a million years did I think I would get a call that my own baby had been gunned down," Pendleton's mother, Cleo Cowley, was quoted as saying.

She said that Tuesday afternoon she got an unexpected call from one of her daughter's friends. "She was screaming on the phone that Hadiya's been shot, she's been shot, and I just didn't understand," said Cowley.

Does Nollywood Exist?

     I have tried to find a good answer to this question several times but the more i tried, the more difficult it becomes to find an answer.Does Nollywood exist?You can trace Hollywood to a geographical location in America. Everyone would point to California, the city of world's biggest actors,producers and singers.

  Where is our own Nollywood?Is it in Surulere where most artistes got their first movie roles or Ojez the bar and restaurant inside National Stadium where actors meet and jollificate? Okay, did i hear you say Lekki/Ajah axis because Genevieve Nnaji,Monalisa Chinda, Uche Jombo,Omoni Oboli, Ini Edo and others stay there?

 As i waited patiently for the newspaper vendor to give me my change, i smiled because one of the captions read "Gollywood actress..blah blah..."- Ghanaian actors are now known by the funny name Gollywood! Where is all
