2FACE IDIBIA, J.MARTINS AND TIMI DAKOLO RAISE HOPE FOR FLOOD VICTIMS

 

2face Idibia, Timi Dakolo and J.Martins, not only represent the best of the Nigerian music industry, they also share one thing in common, they call Now Muzik - Nigeria's foremost talent management company, 'home'. They took this common bond a step further on the 8th of November 2012 ,when they joined their voices to raise hope for the flood victims.

The event was a fund raising dinner put together by the Presidential Committee on Flood Relief and Rehabilitation and presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa.

 Rendering the thought provoking lyrics of his soul lifting, classic, Great Nation to the guests, Timi Dakolo evoked a sense of patriotism in every one present. Africa's finest, 2face Idibia, held the guest spellbound with a performance of his timeless hit 'See Me So', which emphasizes the need for us to be our brothers' keeper and see ourselves as one big family . Also, J. Martins' performance of his classic song, 'Cool Temper', was not only appropriate but also timely and encouraging.

The event, anchored by one of the co-chairmen of the committee Alhaji Aliko Dangote, was graced by captains of industry, top bureaucrats and high-profile advocates.

Over N11b was raised in cash and promissory donations for the flood victims and the President appealed to Nigerians and the international community to donate generously to the course because it is a tragedy that will melt the hardest of the heart.
