On March 26th starting at 12pm at
the Pius Ikedia Mini-Stadium in Ipaja,
an HIV/AIDS-related musical event
is being organized by the Born Talented
Youth Foundation (Olufemi Jackomambo
Oladejo, Founder/President), a nonprofit
using the arts to address HIV/AIDS
and other human-development challenges
in Nigeria.
There will be artists from the Ipaja
and Lagos areas performing, speeches
by invited guests, and attendance
by state and government officials,
as well as by youth groups, arts groups,
and other nonprofits. Pastor Jeremiah
Ifekoya of Real Life International
will be among them, and members of
ActALIVE Nigeria (www.actalive.org).
The aim is to unite for the development
of HIV/AIDS education and prevention
activities in Nigeria using the medium
of "edutainment" (educational
entertainment), in particular the
visual and performing arts.
A
live presentation of eight new musical
tracks related to HIV/AIDS--composed
by hip-hop artist Olufemi Oladejo
himself, in a mix of languages--will
be debuted. Too Close (R&B, Soul)
and John the Baptist (comedy) will
also perform, as will DJ High Klass
(the #1 Disc Jockey in Ipajaland,
Lagos State), Bar-10 Daz (Hip-Hop),
and Omo Daddy (Hip-Hop). For more
information contact Olufemi at btyfoundation@yahoo.com
