IT’S a busy life for top fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall a.k.a. KWAM 1. Every passing week, he is occupied with at least one event, and the events are in different countries. It means that within a week, KWAM 1could be found in different cities of the world.
He is actually known to have turned down events, because sometimes, he has to shuttle between Nigeria and other countries.
But we heard that when Florence Bodex, the celebrity shoemaker, gave him a date for her hosting of a parley with online ‘influencers’ and engagers in Lagos, KWAM 1 quickly circled the date on the calendar. And when the event took place last Saturday at Radisson Blu in GRA, Ikeja, the top musician was there live!
And guess what, Bodex, as Florence Bodurin is fondly called, was pleased with the KWAM 1, as she grinned from ear to ear at the event that also attracted the likes of Q-Dot, 9ice, Ara the first female drummer, Nollywood star Emeka Ossai, Comedian Asiri and Retried AIG Tunji Alapinni.

Bodex’s event also had a representative of the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu in attendance! Mr. Olusegun Fafore, the Executive Assistant to Lagos State Governor on New Media and Public Relations, spoke on the “Consequences of Insidious Comments in the Cyberspace”. He noted that the word ‘insidious’ in the topic is the keyword, which is an adjective, qualifying the noun ‘comments.’
Fafore, who spoke on behalf of Governor Sanwo-Olu, said: “With the reach and growing influence of the internet, which is validated by the increase in the number of internet users from 200,000 19 years ago to 116 million today, we need to treat our diversity as a nation, which cuts across languages, religion and cultural practices, with greater care.
“We need to exercise high level of prudence and discipline in how we engage online, particularly when the benefit of context is lost to technology-created facelessness.”
The event, which took place at the pool side of Radisson Blu, was indeed a great time for good social interaction on online affairs.
