5 concert safety tips that should be on your mind for Detty December

Published

on

Every December, young Nigerians go all out for what is called a ‘Detty December’ filled with fun and a good time with the IJGBs – the Nigerians who say ‘I just got back’ from whatever overseas country they live in.

Having concerts in Nigeria is tricky and never easy because of the lack of good concert locations and security.

Concerts are also infamous for being unsafe with people losing their valuable items.

This doesn’t always have to be the case. If you are going to a concert, here are some general tips for your safety.

  1. You don’t have to be high or drunk to enjoy the concert. Not being in control of your senses is a sure way to get into trouble.
  2. Have a plan for how you will be going home, you cannot just leave your return trip home to vibes. Are you leaving before midnight, going in a car or carpooling in a friend’s car?
  3. Take good care of your personal belongings. Concerts are not the place to carry a backpack or a big bag, a simple fanny pack is enough.
  4. Be vigilant. Take note of your environment and watch out for anything that seems out of place.
  5. Don’t go to a concert alone, ever. This last one goes without saying. So, next time you are buying tickets, buy two. It makes the entire experience more enjoyable and also for safety reasons.

Concerts promise a good time because you get to see your favourite artists in person and sing their songs along with them into the night, but it’s always important to think about your safety too.

If you want to enjoy a great concert experience with your favourite artists like Shallipopi, Skales, Spyro, Dice Ailes and CDQ, buy early bird tickets for Pulse Fiesta here.

I’m a hardworking businesswoman, more than just Wizkid’s baby mama, says Jada P

By

American talent manager Jada Pollock, popularly known as Jada P, has asserted that she is far more than just singer Wizkid’s “babymama,” a title often used by the media.

Speaking in a recent interview with BET UK, Jada P lamented that her accomplishments as an entrepreneur and professional in the music industry have been largely overshadowed by her role as the mother of Wizkid’s children.

Jada P highlighted her career achievements, noting that she has managed international artists such as Chris Brown, Wizkid, and Skyla Tyla.

She described herself as a dedicated businesswoman and music manager actively contributing to the growth of the industry.

“When Wizkid won a Grammy, I wrote a statement about how far afrobeat has come. They put the statement out, and the caption was ‘Wizkid baby mama.’ The narrative is not seen as you’re an entrepreneur and hardworking businesswoman. I’m not only a mother but also a manager, who has actively contributed to building a legacy,” she said.

She further emphasised her role in managing top-tier artists, adding, “Some of the artists I have managed are Chris Brown, Wizkid & Skyla Tyla, etc.”
