Wizkid Makes History As He Becomes First African To Perform At The 02 Arena And Sold out 20,000 Capacity In London

-
History was made on Saturday in the UK when Nigerian Singer Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, performed to a sold out crowd of 20,000 at The 02 Arena, London. 
With the feat, Wizkid became the first Africa-based artiste to perform at the arena, earning a spot on a stage that had been graced by the likes of Drake, Beyonce and Adele.
Wizkid was ushered onto the stage by British super model, Naomi Campbell. Welcoming him, she said: “Today is a historic day; 2018, 25 of May is a historic day for Afrobeat music in 02 Arena. I want to congratulate Wizkid  for putting out this wonderful event.”
Wizkid breezed onto the stage with his two hands in the air — a signature style of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti who is regarded as the creator of Afrobeats.
Speaking after performing ‘Manya’, Wizkid told the massive crowd in adulterated English: “Na because of una I dey here so.” 
He also took out time to pay homage to past and present African artistes. After this, he went into the show proper, serenading the crowd with some of his classic hits, such as ‘Show You the Money’, ‘No Lele’, ‘Tease Me’, ‘Don’t dull’, ‘Azonto’, ‘Pakurumo’, ‘Love My Baby’ and ‘Caro’.
The event came to a climax when he told his story again in ‘Ojuelegba’, and watched the crowd go wild. It was visible, even to the blind and audible to the deaf, that Wizkid had cemented his place in the annals of African music.

He said that the minister failed to implement the agreement reached by the union with the Federal Government on Sept. 30, 2017 for upward adjustment of CONHESS.

Nigerian superstar  singer, Wizkid,  born Ayodeji Balogun is the ladies' man. Since he hit the limelight some years back he has continued to win many hearts with his good music and many women, as reports has it, have seen his birthday suit while warming his proverbial fluffy bed. Yet he can't seem to get enough! For the Star Boy, there have been Sola Ogudu, Binta Diallo and Jada Pollock, each with a bouncing baby boy for the singer. Three baby mamas and three sons, may look good enough for any randy man but not the 'Manya' crooner as he has stated in a recent interview that he loves women too much to settle down with one.

When asked if he will ever settle down with any particular one, his reply is one that will give no woman hope, not even Jada Pollock, who stood by the singer when his two other baby mamas, Sola Ogudu and Binta Diallo labelled him 'Deadbeat...
