ADVOCACY group, Enough Is Enough Nigeria (EiE) has announced that they will be hosting the first-of-its-kind voter education concerts in four major cities across Nigeria in preparation for the 2015 elections. Already, music stars 2Face, Pasuma, MI, Ice Prince, Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Reminisce and others have been confirmed to thrill young enthusiastic voters at these concerts. Organizers of the concert have also promised guest appearances from A-list personalities including CEO, Channels TV, John Momoh. The voter education concerts, which will hold in Kaduna, Jos, Owerri and Lagos, will follow the first edition, which held in Port-Harcourt on December 12, 2014. These concerts will use music to educate voters on the need to participate in the election process. However, 15-minute interludes will also be used during the shows to promote the RSVP campaign. Entry will be free to those with valid voter’s cards while others will pay a token fee. EiE Nigeria has also organised a Presidential and Governorship election debate series called ‘The Peoples’ Debate’ which will hold in Lagos, Plateau, Kaduna, Imo, Rivers, Taraba as well as a Presidential debate in Abuja. Through its pre-election and post-election voter education strategies under its flagship RSVP Campaign, EiE Nigeria hopes to increase the participation of young people between the ages of 18 – 35 (62.5% of those registered to vote in 2011) in Nigeria’s growing democracy. The group is a coalition of individuals and organisations committed to instituting a culture of good governance and public accountability in Nigeria through advocacy, activism and the mobilization of the youth population as responsible citizens. They include The Future Project; Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN); Education as a Vaccine (EVA); Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND); LYNX Nigeria, Budgit, RISE Networks; Chocolate City Group and EME. DJ Bally Pays Tribute To Legendary Boxer, Mohammad Ali Promising Producer and Disc Jockey, DJ Bally of Aristokrat Records has released his unofficial debut single ALI. Featuring Mojeed and Sute, the track is a tribute to the great boxing legend, Mohammad Ali on his birthday. ALI also serves as DJ Bally’s production debut and he features emerging rappers, Mojeed of Aristokrat Records and Sute, the Abuja based rapper from Bantu Records. The song showcases DJ Bally’s talent beyond disc jockeying. According to the artiste, the song was made only because he wished to give a tribute to one of his idols. “Ali made me understand greatness as a state of mind; some are born with it, some realize along the way, either due to their success or some of other external factors”.
