For guests - made up of invited customers and related public - at the end of the year party of financial institution, G.T Bank - it was a mixed blessings.
Many experienced wanton shoving and pushing despite adorning the entry pass.
And the reason simple, the arrangement in place couldn't properly cater for the needs of the situation on hand.
Here is a fuller version of how it went down
Lekki British International School was transformed into a haven of
delight as GTB hosted the end of the year blast that was themed ‘The
Biggest and the Baddest.’ While it was arguably the biggest, some guests
left with a bad taste that even exquisite wine and dishes couldn’t
nullify.
Unexplainably, guests who showed up for the event were more
than guests invited. It should be emphasized that staffs who grandly
bore blue bands were treated like monarchs and had easy access to the
venue, those unfortunate to have acquired the orange bands experienced
the steam of class discrimination.
As security men struggled to
control the shenanigans of the boisterous crowd, guests were pushed,
shoved and rough-handled. Before long, swear words and unimaginable hate
became the order of the day.
Programmed to begin by 6:00pm, guests
were left standing outside the venue for three frustrating hours as they
stewed in regret over attending the much hyped shindig.
At 9:00pm,
‘the biggest and the baddest’ end of the year party finally began with
Segun Agbeje’s Managing Director/ CEO Guaranty Trust Bank) opening
speech, heavily laced with a phonetically refined Nigerian accent.
Basket
Mouth seems to be losing his touch or is simply being dulled by boring
co-hosts. He was paired with IK Osakioduwe (Host of Big Brother Africa)
as host of GTB end of the year party; after series of dry jokes, guests
were ready to pull out their hair in frustration.
The show began to
come alive when Nigerian artists took turns in dragging invitees out of
their funk.
The likes of Phyno, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage thrilled guests
with lively performances while Davido struggled with his gruff voice,
clearly hinting his desperate need for a voice coach. DJ Cuppy was the
goddess of the jam, with her diamond crusted laptop, the show was
redeemed from being a total mess. There seems to be a connection between
Agbaje and Wande Coal.
As the music sensation graced the stage, Agbaje
uncharacteristically threw decorum out of the window and put every part
of his body to work as he danced to the Wande’s thrilling tune from
beginning to ending. Mavin Crew was not left out of the party; with
series of energetic performances from members of the crew, all the flops
of the event were forgiven and guests began to dance their aggravations
away. As Don Jazzy took the mike to perform the famous ‘Dorobucci’, the
heavens illuminated with the most artistically stimulating fireworks
the year has seen. For thirty enjoyable minutes, guests stood and
watched in enthrallment as GTB showed its superiority over other
establishments through the sky experienced bouts of captivating
fireworks that signaled the end of the show
