Amstel, Tuface Campus Connect Ends With A Show Stopper In Lagos

The Indoor sports hall of the University of
Lagos was a beehive of heightened
performances by Nigeria’s hip hop super
stars as well as the huge turnout of
students to round up the thrilling Tuface
and friends campus connect tour sponsored
by Amstel Malt, the premium low sugar
malt drink from the stable of Nigerian
Breweries plc which played host to
Nigerian’s Afro hip hop singing sensation,
Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly called
Tuface, and other talented musicians.
The Campus Connect gig train which was
received in Benin City, Port Harcourt, Enugu
and Abuja had several budding and notable
artistes thrilling their fans. They include:
Ranson, Money B, Hype M.C, Efa, Young
Grace, 2Sec, Rocksteady, Damy Crane, Sheyi
Shay, Rough Coil, Vector, Solid Star, Phyno,
Sound Sultan and the winner of Amstel
Malta Show time in 2012, Same .
Music lovers in Lagos got more than they
bargained for as these music acts offered
interactive music renditions which drew
endless applause and joyful moments from
them. The mammoth crowd, comprising
students from University of Lagos, Yaba
College of Technology, Lagos State
Polytechnic and Adeniran Ogunsanya
College of Education Lagos defied the heavy
downpour to enjoy music performance by
Tuface and friends.
Speaking on behalf of the Brand Manager,
Amstel Malta, Miss Hannatu Ageni Yusuf
expressed her appreciation for the
impressive turn out and the outstanding
musical performances. “Amstel Malta has
always championed and advanced the
course of youths by encouraging them to be
the best that they can be. Tonight’s
performance is also a clear demonstration
of being able to connect to the University
students and the good people of Lagos”.
She added that “The Amstel Malta brand
has a penchant for promoting good values
in the youths in a bid to chart a good
course for Nigeria as a nation. TuFace and
his friends have been awesome and Amstel
Malta, the low sugar premium brand from
Nigerian Breweries is indeed delighted to be
associated with them”.
She promised that the next edition will be
bigger and more exciting as the team will
do a proper analysis to adjust and add on
some ideas to create that moment of
interaction with Nigerian hip hop stars and
the students.
The audience received Tuface with
uncontrollable chants of excitement. Apart
from churning out some his iconic music
tracks, TuFace also pepped up his
performance with a repertoire of
chorographers while he perfected the act of
singing as well as skilfully manoeuvring his
lanky gait. With cans of Amstel Malta in
their hand, Tuface proved to his fans for
the umpteenth time why he is unarguably
one of Nigeria’s hottest musical exports to
the global scene.
The crowd cheered endlessly as 2Face
recreated his popular tracks with
improvisations. Tracks such as ‘For
instance’, ‘Bush meat’, ‘Nfana Ibaga’, ‘U no
holy pass’, ‘See me so’, ‘No shaking’, ‘Enter
the place’, ‘Implication’, and his hit track
from his recent‘ Away and Beyond’ album
tagged ‘Ihe neme’. Certainly, TuFace backed
by his friends lived up to his billing as one
of Nigeria’s top acts, he also provided the
undergraduates with the opportunity to be
the best they can be.
