EVENTS: Easter In Port Harcourt Issa Vibe!

There was a time, a long time ago it now seems when seasons like this would come and go without anything tangible happening in the much vaunted Garden City of Nigeria. These days however,  I can beat my chest and say PH don wake o (in the famous words of Dr Barz). 

Well, that's the situation now. The city and it's inhabitants are 'woke' regardless of any negative narrative being sold from any quarter of the stratosphere. The fact be say, today is Wednesday and by now, Judas don receive alert for him Union Bank plc savings account and on Good Friday, Jesus must be kissed (no be the type awa governor de kiss him wife up and dan o...I'm coming to that matter sef, wait small) and you know the rest of the story.

It's the Easter weekend right ahead of us and like I said in the caption, Easter in PH finna be a vibe! Besides the regular or irregular church events and services that traditionally mark the season, there are quite a handful of events that will take place and gives everybody in every part of the city the opportunity to hang out with friends and family and have a great time. Yes! The city is now safe like that!

I've gotta highlight 2 of them on here that I believe stand out amongst all... Oh, and I'll be reviewing them after they happen of course. So here goes; 

CHOW FAIR

Without any shadow of doubt, this is the biggest food festival in Nigeria at the moment and it's put together by Rooshbrown Integrated Services, led by Lucky Brown Wobo, a photographer, philanthropist and foodie.

This being the Second Edition of the food festival is something to be excited about as it promises to provide every form of entertainment from dance and comedy to musical performances and of course the main event being food, food and much more food!

Kicking off at noon on Saturday, 20th April and climaxing on Easter Sunday at the Azny place on Chief Luis Drive, GRA phase 2, Chow Fair serves up the right atmosphere for the young and upwardly mobile to eat, laugh and connect. It is the perfect environment to work out all the accumulated stress from this political krinkum krankum that we have just finished.

 

 

 

The variety served up at Chow Fair is quite vast as there are many vendors to patronize and the line up of performances is also lit! Anchored by the monster, Speech D Lutherking, and featuring the likes of dancehall king Sotiee, Larry MacSuku, super afrobeat artistes Victex & Prinx Emmanuel, the sonorous voices of Delia, Kiienka & Beauty Eru, cross over artiste King Giddy Up and much more... Just brace yourselves and get ready to feel the vibe this weekend!
