#UBAMARKETPLACE19 – DAY TWO; TWICE THE EXPECTATION.

 

If you thought day
1 of the #UBAMarketplace19 was amazing,
think again.
Day 2 was out of
this world!

 

 

 

As expected, the
weather was perfect and the good people of Abuja did not disappoint. People
weren’t arriving in in twos or threes; they came in groups!
 
Before the first
activity commenced, the stalls were full, the food court was steaming with
flavors and buzzing with people. The game section was fully packed. The kid’s
corner was filled. #UBAMarketplace
was a vibe!

 

 

 

Events kicked
off with a panel session- Stars and Suits: Afropop meets High Finance. A chat
with Wizkid and UBA GMD; Kennedy Uzoka.
The session
moderated by Bollylomo covered the relationship between music and finance. It
was a highly insightful session. After the session, a huge announcement was
made. Click the link to get the full details; http://bit.ly/UBAxWizkid 



Right after the session was a fashion show. It was yet another display of beautiful designs by Africa’s finest artists.

 

 

 

 

The designs were bold, daring, creative and of course African.
Africa sure is filled with so many talents.

 
Next was the Leo
treasure hunt. People had fun looking for clues from one point to another.
Eventually, a winner emerged.

 

 

We had some more
display of creativity with another fashion show just as the Founder’s den- a
pitch session, was ongoing. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moderated by Ozzy Agu, budding SME’s owners and entrepreneurs
with amazing ideas each pitched to a panel. After a deliberation, the judges
chose a winner. The winner was presented with his prize.

 
The final session- ‘The Bank to the Booth’ moderated by Folu Storms had Entertainment Dj’s which
includes Dj Cuppy, Dj Neptune and Talented producer, Pheelz Mr Producer discuss
their journey so far and how they have used the booth to create success. 

 

 

 

Also
discussing the relationship between the bank and the booth was UBA’s Franklin
Erebor. He spoke on how UBA continues to strengthen the relationship between the
creative space and also the options available to the creative industry.

 

The end of the
panel session kicked off the concert with DJ Cuppy as the first artist to set
the stage on fire. Next was Dj Neptune who took the crowd through a musical
journey. 

 

Keeping the crowd entertained were BollyLomo and Shoddy.

 

After Dj Neptune
came the beautiful and talented songstress, Niniola.  She thrilled the crowd with some of her
popular songs. After Niniola was done, Wizkid came on stage to entertain the
yearning crowd. The crowd went wild.

 

He thrilled the
crowd in his usual fashion. The crowd sang along song after song, word for
word.

 

 

 

The concert came
to an end with Wizkid singing lyrics from recent song; ‘Brown Skin Girl’. The
excited crowd sang at the top of their voices.

 

The
#UBAMarketplace was an event no one will forget in a hurry. We came, people saw
and left with memories they won’t forget in a hurry.
See you next
year!

  1. PLEASE READ!!Hello Guys!!! I am Caro I live in Ohio USA I’m 32 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Adriano. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met Adriano because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Adriano sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for small fee to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to Adriano because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Adriano's email address is adrianohackers01@gmail.com
