Tuface, Darey, Adekunle Gold, shine at Olori Wuraola’s Giveback Concert

The Give-back-concert organised by Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi, wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, in support of orphanages in the country may have come and gone, its impact on the lives of orphans will continue to everberate for long.

The Olori Wuraola orphan aid project, an initiative under the House of Oduduwa Foundation, like never seen before in the history of concerts, attracted multiple award winning stars like Tuface Idibia, Darey, Adekunle Gold, Waje, Cobhams, Sound Sultan, Kenny Blaq, Funbi, Lamboghini and many more performers.

Expectedly, there was no single dull moment all through the event, as the super stars thrilled the audience with world-class performance that left the huge crowd inside the Eko Convention Center Lagos, asking for more.

Olori Wuraola, who has been tagged as Mother Theresa of our time, left no one in doubt of her ability to add glitz, glamour and razzmatazz to an event that was organised to show love to the underprivileged.

The queen has successfully demonstrated her deep love for the poor by practically living her life to conform with her philosophy that is deeply-rooted in the aphorism that wealth is nothing if it cannot be used for the advancement of society and mankind.

Her effort to draw the people’s attention to the plights of the underprivileged, especially in the South West zone of the country, with the good response to her call by dignitaries that included the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi; His imperial majesty, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife; billionaire businesswoman, Hajia Bola Shagaya; Senator Ita Giwa; Nike Osinowo, Erelu Dosunmu, Sisi Abah Folawiyo among several others. Nollywood stars were also in attendance to lend their support to the cause.

Speaking on her dream for orphanages, Olori Wuraola said:”I want to assist in the renovation of local orphanages and provide foods and other items to orphans in the rural areas of Nigeria and across Africa.

“Orphans are society’s lost children. They are homeless; they are often a group without hopes. These children have lost their parents and families due to the devastating effects of war, drought, famine and economic hardships; hence they are suffering from malnutrition, diseases and hopelessness. These vulnerable children face a disastrous future without our immediate intervention.”

In her speech she expressed the need to contribute individually to help the orphans achieve a good future.

“We cannot do it alone, none of us can,” she said.

More than 20 orphanages are expected to benefit from the proceeds of the concert, which she promised would be used to renovate such orphanages.
