Soundcity says Davido’s O2 Arena concert was nearly sold out

Following the widely talked about O2 Arena concert of Nigerian superstar, Davido, controversies have not stopped to trail the claims that the large capacity event center was completely sold out.

Social media had been set abuzz with the news of the singer’s successful concert in London. Several video clips surfaced on the internet showing the singer giving an eclectic performance to thousands of his fans.

However, among the videos that surfaced online, some of them portrayed the music arena looking scantily occupied. Fans of the singer had taken his side on social media with many saying the videos showing a scanty hall was recorded before people had showed up for the event.

In a recent development, popular music broadcasting station Sound City, recently took to their Twitter page with a post in which they had said the singer almost sold out the O2.

In the same post, the station also revealed that the Assurance crooner was planning to replicate the success of his concert, as he planned to take the show to America.

An international publishing house, The Guardian, had also published a review of the music concert in which they had said the singer nearly sold out the popular music arena.

See excerpts from the review below:

"Considering the anticipation attached to this gig, which has been talked up as a significant event for Davido – he’s nearly sold out the O2, a considerable leap toward the mainstream – and for Afrobeats itself, it’s poor form for the Lagos-based singer to turn up 65 minutes late."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
