For the residence of Ojuelegba, a bustling community in Lagos, the 2015 Valentine Day celebration is definitely one that they will not forget in a hurry as the Spirit of Lagos, a movement committed to restoring the lost glories of Nigeria’s commercial capital stormed the area with the sensational artiste, OzzyBosco as part of its just concluded Do The Right Thing road tour.
The residence, who gathered at the cross-road under the bridge venue of the road show, could not resist the dance steps and songs from the kid artiste who is also an ambassador of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA).
The wonder kid rendered some of his songs including the popular ‘Keep Lagos Clean’. Currently he has three music videos and 13 singles which include his latest gospel song ‘U Reign’ featuring Midnight Crew and Dr Tee Mac (MFR). He has also featured other A-list artistes such as MI, Olamide, Flavour and Sound Sultan among others.
Exuding joy at the performance of OzzyBosco during the show which lasted for three hours, his mother, Chief (Mrs) Adah Mojekwu, appreciated the Spirit of Lagos for providing such a platform for her son to connect with his fans and to further entrench the message of keeping Lagos clean, which is also his pet project.
“OzzyBosco is concerned with the welfare of children and seeing that every child, in line with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) Convention for the Rights of Child, enjoys the rights unhindered. He also likes clean and sustainable environment and this informs why he accepted to perform at the Spirit of Lagos road tour which in any case, conforms to his ideals and beliefs,” she said.
The just-concluded Do The Right Thing road show by the Spirit of Lagos was aimed at sensitising the people of the city on the need to do things that conform with societal norms like making use of pedestrian bridges where available instead of dashing through the major roads and endangering their lives; keeping their environment clean by disposing of their refuse properly; paying their taxes, and effectively participating in the process of governance by obtaining their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to cast their votes which is part of their civic responsibility.
The road tour, which commenced three weeks back, saw the team visiting high human traffic areas around Lagos including Oshodi, Agege Pen Cinema, Oyingbo, Badagry, Mushin, Ojodu Berger, Ijesha Bus Stop, Pako-Aguda, Festac, Ajegunle, Oke Ira in Ogba and Okokomaiko among many other places with the message of attitudinal and behavioral change.
