Okeowo Street comes under heavy
security
Starting
from 6pm, the entire Okeowo Street, venue of the event took a new shape as
stern looking and heavy body built security men took over strategic positions
on the street to ensure a hitch-free event. The men numbering about ten were
led in by security expert Prince Adebisi Adewale (MSSPN, MIIPS) of Advance
Team G Nigeria Ltd. He is reputed to be one of the leading experts in
General Security, Industrial security and events and VIP Protection security
sector as his men who are tall, hefty and fiery did a perfect job through out
the night ensuring miscreants were totally thrown out of the vicinity of the
event as only a quality crowd of guests and fans were allowed in after picking
their tickets which is in form of hand badges. The Advance Team G forces
were supported by a team of stern looking police officers from the Mile 12 and
Ketu Division of the Nigerian Police Force with some Mobile Police men from the
Lagos Police Command who complemented the security strategy for the all night
event. The security was just too tight for any funny stunt by a fragile mind.

How the venue was branded
Right
from the entrance of the bar and recreation side of the hotel down to the upper
side of the bar it was branded all through with spaces (Chairs and Tables)
allocated for all classes of dignitaries and patrons that attended the
event. The bar side which is segmented
into three arenas had the lower side for the regulars who had the white bands on their wrists while the
upper side which was manned by stern looking security personnel is specially
designed for top dignitaries who adorned the Yellow and Pink band on
their wrist. On the upper side of the bar is the exclusive all-air-conditioned
suite for the VVIP (Very, Very Important Personalities). This room which was
opened around 2:30 am after 9ice’s performance boasted of only
the Hennessy
brand of drinks with lots of fast-finger meals. The venue was branded
by Sierra
Global Communications owned by Barrister (Mrs.) Caroline Adeneye
and the Moet Hennessy Company whose officials were at the event.

The Plasma screen effect
On
the four corners of the bar section were Plasma TV screens fastened to the wall
for all eyes to see. The simple task for these screens was to show the
celebrity side of the owner of the new structure as the screen beams with
still-pictures of Dayo Adeneye (D-One) with various famous world celebrities in
America, London, Barbados, Bahamas, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa. It was such
a beautiful scene as many patrons of the bar on this night didn’t only see
D-One live but could see his pictures with global celebrities across the world.
Some of the locals who were lucky to get his signature were proud to be at the
venue as it was like a dream come true for them.

The economy of the event
Despite
the fact that the event was organized on mainland Lagos, it still carried some
elements of a high class event with all the trappings of good patronages from
the ordinary folks from Ketu, Mile 12 and Ikorodu axis of the state up to the
highest of the elites in town. For the ordinary folks who couldn’t afford the
price of watching 9ice at a very close range, they paid a token of a thousand
naira which earned them a white band (Regulars) that guaranteed their entry
into the venue. For those who could afford the price of a Yellow or Pink band (VIP
& VVIP) which is the highest (It goes for between N2:500 and N4:000) they
were allowed to sit at a very close range with the cream of society at the upper
lounge of the bar with a slight demarcation while other patrons who bought
tables of four chairs which ranges from N30;
000; 00 to N25; 000:00 had the
most strategic position. Guests were
allowed to make demand for drinks which goes for very affordable prices except
the class of Hennessy and Champagne brands which comes with
some higher cost implication. Fast finger meals were also in abundance at
prices friendly with the pocket. Organizations that purchased tables included City People Media Group, UBA, Skye Bank, Diamond Bank, Topmost
Limited, Primetime Entertainment,
BHM and a couple of other
organizations in the corporate sector.

The 9ice T-Shirt “Efizy”
One
thing you should respect the Adeneyes for is their high sense for
branding anything brand-able. For the night, all the DC bar team including the
team leader, Otunba Dayo Adeneye and his wife, Barrister Caroline Adeneye
wore the 9ice branded T-shirt which came in several colors of pink,
white and green with the face of the artiste donning the face of the T-shirt. Others who wore the T-shirt are those fondly
called “The Real Baba Oloye Boys” (Reference to D-One’s Otunba title), they
include his personal assistant on private matters Mr. Sanyaolu Oladimeji
formerly of Lagos state internal Revenue, Mr. Dayo Ogunleye his personal
assistant on public matters and the entire staff of the twenty rooms hotel.
Some guests were seen asking for the T-shirt at the venue of the event but
since it was a limited edition they couldn’t lay their hands on one.

You
will never believe this; the 9ice branded T-shirt for D-one

back side; and what did we have on the back of D-One’s own?. We simply
had D-One written on the back while Barrister
(Mrs.) Caroline Adeneye’s own carried the tag “Yeye”. Wao! So, next time
you see the Sierra Global Concept boss, don’t forget to add the prefix “Yeye”
to her name. Remember Yeye Funke Daniels the immediate

How the Hennessy brand “stole” the
event
event
One
thing that characterized the opening of DC Suites and bar is the rough
battle between several Nigerian brands and organizations to steal the attention
of dignitaries and patrons who attended. From Nigerian Breweries, UBA,
Skye
Bank down to Moet Hennessy Incorporated, it was a
battle of sort. But it seems one brand that won the space battle was the Moet Hennessy
brand which branded 69% of the venue
of event with logo of the brand conspicuously spread all over the place
including the VIP and VVIP arena coupled with a generous supply of free Hennessy drinks and
lovely branded gifts for guests and patrons. On grand to make things happen was
Moet Hennessy big boy Amar
Agada who is the trade representative for Mainland North of Lagos, West
Africa. He arrived the venue at 6pm and didn’t leave until 5 am the next day.
He personally shared Hennessy
branded I-pad leather cases, Hennessy
branded wallets, phone cases and other lovely gifts.

How NB PLC shared Sallah Rice and
other items
other items
The
second organization that probably made impact at the 9ice spiced DC
Suites and bar launching is Nigerian Breweries PLC which
supplied numerous gifts ranging from bags of rice, 32 inches TV sets, DVDs,
Micro Waves and several other gifts that were given out in a rally to patrons
who bought the event tickets via social media two weeks earlier. All the gifts were in honor of the mood of Sallah
celebration. The raffle draw was conducted by gifted Master of Ceremony, MC
Don; the dreadlock wearing gifted master of ceremony really brought
lots of enthusiasm and fun into the event as he dragged out some pretty ladies from
the crowd to pick the raffle tickets and call names of winners who made it.
Those who couldn’t make it to the event after purchasing their ticket lost
immediately as another name was called and asked to come forward for the gift. The gift presentation segment courtesy Nigerian
Breweries PLC was fun-filled as many dignitaries were thoroughly
entertained. Other organizations that
made it down to the venue are Talk-A-lot represented by Yinka and Gas Promotion
under the leadership of Mr. Ayo Odunsi.

not to allow his girls to move out of the premises as he wouldn’t tolerate
anyone ‘stealing’ them off duty for the night.

Meet the Chinko Comedians
If
there is one thing that characterized the launching of DC Suites and Bar Center,
it was the outpour of new entertainment acts from the Ajegunle, Mile 12, Ketu
and Ikorodu axis of Lagos that all throng in to give their best of creativity
for the success of the show. One of such acts is what fans and celebrities
later termed the “Chinko Comedians” made
up of Adiala Iyanu aka Chinko
and Gbenga
Ayodele aka desktop. While Adiala Iyanu (Chinko) made his
presentations in Pidgin or broken English, Gbenga Ayodele aka Desktop
interpreted it in a very funny China (Chinko) tone which made many to laugh
their jaw off. The two who came on several intervals at the event really made
the show an interesting one. One if the big boys who really paid attention to
the Chinko Comedians was famous TV Buff and pal for life to D-One,
Idowu Ogungbe aka I-D-on-the Street. He not only
showered them with money but equally interjected in their stunts each time he
feels they hid something in their Chinese translation. It really seems to many
fans that ID Ogungbe himself, understand Chinese.

Keke was a bit tired and maybe under the weather due to the stress of
creativity which he has brought to Raypower and which takes lots of his

blackberry message wishing Otunba and Yeye Dayo and Caroline
