Why koko concert was a failure!

People who went for the much hyped D'banj's Koko concert have been biting their lips in regret, what happened? A lot complained that they had to trek for almost an hour to get to the venue, others said that people who paid for VIP where given much less than expected, they allegedly stood all through the event.

Twitter has even gone agog with a lot of people posting negative tweets about the event. 'Yours faithfully' managed to dig deep to find out the cause of the concert's failure and came with a list of possible reasons.
1. Way Too Many Concerts, all around the same time: Chris Brown, EME Baddest concert and so many other concerts ongoing. (Yes, it’s the holidays but D’Banj needed to do this at least before others began their concerts or at a time where it isn’t back to back concerts, given his absence form the country for prolonged periods this 2012).


2. Disorganization.

3. Very Late Start. From 7pm it begins at 10:24pm and the host does not even show up on stage until almost 12:30am. Wow!

4. Poor Performances.

5. Terrible logistics

“Apart from the poor performances, the big fail for the Koko Concert was the logistics disaster, with traffic and access control, seating, in-venue shuttle topping the list. The VVIP area was so over-burdened, many guests who had paid for tables were seeing loitering and complaining.

It didn’t help that apart from the thousands who witnessed the mishaps live, a live internet broadcast by GTbank’s Ndani TV helped showed the shame to millions all over the world, with many giving real time negative feedback on Twitter and Facebook. D’banj trended for hours, with many Koko Concert related hashtags also trending locally on Twitter.

It is still a hot topic on Twitter with hashtags like #KokoConcert,#KokoConcertWalkofLife, #KokoConcertSurvivors becoming trends for the day. Fans are still talking about the show, describing their best performances and how they made it out of the venue.

No word yet from D’banj and his minders.

For many who saw the show, getting back to their cars or to the main road (Ahmadu Bello) became a herculean task; as disappointed fans bowed their heads and slugged their way in the heaps of beach sand as they dragged their tired bodies back home, some crying, others cursing, with another handful trying to push their stuck vehicles out of the sand.

For an artiste who had a fantastic run this year, building an international profile and doing Nigeria proud, it was a big shame for D’banj to end 2012 in utter ridicule, and it remains uncertain what his team will do to manage the mess generated by the events of last night.”
