MI, Omawumi & Iyanya Rocks Coca-Cola Event




Lots of spectacular performances were showcased by Nigerian music artistes as they celebrate Africa at 'At an Evening with Cola Cola'. The event was the official launch of 'A Billion Reason to Believe in Africa', Coca-Cola's reigning continental campaign, which took place on the 6th of September at Harbor Point, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Must confess it was a fabulous event as music artistes like MI, Omawumi, Iyanya, gave their best to bringing the audience along.

MI stormed the whole arena as soon as he made his first step on the stage, performing hit tracks like 'Action Film' & 'Africa Number One'.

Speaking to reporters he said: “Today, I am celebrated and respected everywhere I go. I have been to many great places in the world and I am a success story; I typify a reason to believe in Africa.”
Multi-award winning singer Omawumi gave her awesome performance delivering to her fans her famous
tracks 'If you ask me' & Bottom Belle' which got everyone on their feet. Iyanya wasn't left out too, giving a good performance to everyone performing his 'Kukere track' .



New fashion collections were showcased too as models walk up the runway in different traditional attires and traditional performance was showcased at the event too.








‘A Billion Reasons to Believe’ is an extension of Coca-Cola’s global Open Happiness campaign, which sees happiness in everyday occurrences in our society. The campaign seeks to celebrate and highlight all things good about Africa, with the hope of rising a new generation of Africans that are excited about its future. The ‘Evening with Coca-Cola’ was an expression of African poetry, fashion, music and dance. Every guest had the chance to sign the ‘Believe Wall’, stating their reason to believe in Africa.

Olufemi Ashipa, Brand Manager, Colas, Coca-Cola Manager, said the company’s conviction in the unparalleled potentials inherent in Africa’s youths. “The youths of Africa have the manpower, the intellect and resources to change the world,” he said. “Nigeria is already taking the world by storm with the great feats being accomplished in the areas of technology, fashion, business, music, literature etc. That is what tonight’s event is all about; celebrating the past with a forward view and great hope for the future.”
