…Amazing lifestyles of Nigeria’s rich and famous
On April 30, music washed over Oba
Rilwan Akiolu like the Pacific. It coursed through him formless and
melodious, like a whisper – like a promise of sweet delight. On that
day, the paramount monarch and King of Lagos, tapped his royal grace
upon musical nuances that glide under breeze and foot.
He felt the melody of what is felt
delicately underfoot and opened himself to its pulse. His innate worries
and wrinkles were soothed by invisible jazz notes and waves of musical
therapy that resonated from the Lagos International Jazz Festival.
The event, which held on Saturday, April
30, at the Lagos House, Ikeja, Lagos, was hosted by Governor Akinwumi
Ambode of Lagos in commemoration of the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Jazz Day which holds on
same date of every year. At the event tagged: “Evening of Jazz,”
Governor Ambode explained that the objectives of the event was to
highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners
of the globe. The event drew the crème of Lagos high society.
Oba Akiolu, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Senator
Gbenga Ashafa and Chief Olusegun Osoba were among dignitaries at the
event. The Lagos International Jazz Day was carefully tailored to
showcase the tourism potentials of the State to the world.
