There is something about having some of the best-of-the-best in the entertain ment industry on same stage doing what they know how to do best, you get maximum and unadulterated entertainment. These guys; 2face, Basket Mouth, Francis Duru, J Martins and the local stars, were simply extraordinary. This was the statement of one of the participants at the first Benue Music Festival which was held at the Aminu Isah Kontagora Open Air Theatre in Makurdi over the weekend.
The event would go down in history as one of the most unforgettable moments in Benue State . It was event brought about by Dream Pointers International and supported by the state government. It had everything that makes events thick, comedy, music, dance power and so much more.
The event which started late on Saturday, witnessed the largest crowd ever witnessed in the history of the state. The mobile policemen and security personnel had a hell of time controlling the youths.
Local stars mounted the stage and mesmerised the crowd. Starlets like Battyboy, AJ, Doshai and others set the tune for what to come. The good or bad crooner, J Martins, took the tempo several notches higher when he mounted the stage with his brand of hip hop and highlife. He was on stage for over 30 minutes to the delights of the massive crowd.
Francis Duru, the Nollywood star who was the compere, then mounted the stage to introduce one of Nigeria ’s most talented comedians, Basket Mouth. Basket Mouth was simply in a class of his own. The comedian disclosed that he had not been to Benue in six years and as a result, compensated the crowd with unbelievable jokes. Was he funny? Yes and surprisingly vulgar, and to the surprise of mature audiences around, everybody appreciated him. The dreadlocks-wearing comedian left the stage to a thunderous applause.
