As the clocked chimed into 2017, many Nigerian artistes, fresh from a busy yuletide, took to Twitter to greet their fans and also set the ball rolling for the new year.
GT The Guitarman, who performed his last show of 2016 at the One Lagos Fiesta, the weeklong concerts organised by the Lagos State government, tweeted ‘Today is where the 2017 book begins… the rest is still unwritten.. #happynewyear #GreatYearAhead’
But for ‘Ariwo Ko’ crooner, Adekunle Gold, who also took part in the One Lagos Fiesta, the new year presented a temporary avenue to rest. “I can finally rest my voice for few days after today’s show,” he said in the early hours of the new year.
But for DJ Spinall whose album, TEN, also made waves in the latter part of the year when it was released, the new year is no time to rest as he was already slated to perform on January 1, 2017 at the Classic DJs 10 at Hard Rock Café in Lagos.
On his part, Phyno, whose track, ‘Fada Fada’ was a hit in 2016, he simply expressed his love to fans and urged them to motivate each other. “Happy new year my fam,” he tweeted.
“I love u guys so much. Let’s get it this year. Motivate anybody around you. It’s time.”
It was also a similar greeting from Bez Idakula. “Happy New Year from the Idakulas,” he tweeted. “May your year be happy, beautiful, bright and full of love!”
Leader of the Supreme Mavin Dynasty, Don Jazzy, also greeted his fans, saying, “Welcome to 2017. I have been waiting for y’all. God bless us.”
However, Mavin’s first lady, Tiwa Savage, started 2017 by doing another kind of work. Savage, who is a brand ambassador for Pampers, posted a picture where she holds her baby boy, Jamil and promoting the brand.
“Every mom cherishes precious moments shared with their babies,” Tiwa who recently reconciled with her hubby said. “Thanks, Pampers for keeping Jamil dry and happy for me.”
Also, Kiss Daniel, who was also very busy during the holidays, had thanked his fans on December 29, 2016 before the new year was heralded. “Thank you all for a wonderful 2016,” wrote Kiss Daniel who won ‘Best Pop Artiste of the year’ at SoundCity MVP 2016. “2017 is gonna be a mind blowing experience for everyone. ENTER INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH PRAISE. God bless.”
