Praises galore for Glo Laffta Fest

The Ogun State Government has described Globacom’s comedy, music and drama show, the Glo Laffta Fest designed specially by the leading telecommunications network, Globacom, for its esteemed subscribers as a powerful initiative which will promote harmony, reduce stress and teach good citizenship in the society.
This was the conclusion of the Secretary to the Ogun State Government, (SSG), Barrister Taiwo Adeoluwa and others present at the Glo Laffta Fest organized for residents of Abeokuta at the OK Events Centre, Ibara Housing Estate on Sunday.
The SSG said he was happy that Globacom brought the show to Ogun State, adding that Laffta Fest had added value to the programmes of the Ogun State government as evidenced from the thrusts of the various performers who taught morals and etiquette by condemning vices in their jokes.
“Globacom is doing remarkably well in Corporate Social Responsibility programmes and we are very proud of Dr. Mike Adenuga. A gathering like this is very good as it encourages our youth to invest their time in worthwhile ventures rather than vices like cultism,” the Ogun SSG observed.
Also speaking in an interview, an Editor with the Ogun State Broadcasting Corporation, OGBC, Mr Biodun Ogundipe, said residents of Abeokuta had long craved for a show like the Laffta Fest, especially because of the extant restrictions on movement.
Another respondent, Mr Yinka Adelowo said the objective of the programme was to change people’s mood by lifting their spirits from the doldrums, adding that this was the first time he was attending a show of that magnitude in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
According to another resident of Abeokuta who is a Glo ambassador, Odunlade Adekola, the Laffta Fest confirms Globacom’s second-to-none status in the telecommunications industry, adding “I give it to Glo for spreading joy all over the country. For recording this impressive crowd in Abeokuta known for conservatism, big ups for Glo.”
Sixty-six year old Mrs. Rachael Opaleye said she thoroughly enjoyed herself while a civil servant, Mrs Adekoya Folasade said she was impressed with the smooth organization and relaxing ambience of the venue.
A dancing competition organized to delight the crowd was won by an HND 2 Accounting Student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Olamide Olabode and a Real Estate agent, Adedayo Ogunyemi.
Stand-up comedian, Bovi Ugboma, who was also the master of ceremony kicked off the show by giving out recharge cards to fast fingered attendees who loaded the credits as the PINs were called, amidst rib-cracking jokes and wise cracks.
Other comedians that performed include Cyril Ugege, aka Osama, Memory Card, Odogwu, Omo Baba, Bashiru Adekunle alias Bash and Seyi Law while Reekado Banks serenaded attendees with his popular songs enthusiastically rendered like anthems by all. The duo of Sunday Omobolanle alias Aluwe and Bolaji Amusan, Mr. Latin delivered a hilarious drama skit to heighten the excitement.
The Laffta Fest train will track to Surulere this Sunday. Subscribers who wish to attend the show in any of the cities can still attend by using up to N3,000 in a month and sending ‘LOL’ and preferred location of the show to “33001”. For example, ‘LOL Surulere” to 33001.
