• On December 17, 2024, Global Citizen, the international advocacy organization on a mission to end extreme poverty, announced EGOT-winning, critically acclaimed, multiplatinum artist and producer, John Legend, will headline the next installment of Move Afrika, the first-of-its-kind music touring circuit headlined by international artists. Next year’s tour will expand from East to West Africa, with Nigeria joining Rwanda as host countries. The tour will begin with Move Afrika: Kigali at the BK Arena on February 21, before continuing with Move Afrika: Lagos at The Palms on February 25, 2025. Move Afrika is a long-term, large-scale effort to pioneer the music touring circuit across Africa, driving economic investment, job creation and supporting entrepreneurship opportunities in each host country.

    Move Afrika is Global Citizen’s initiative to address the world’s inequities by creating job and entrepreneurship opportunities for the continent’s emerging generations through an annual series of live music events. Showcasing the best of Africa to the world, these events will drive transformative investments within local communities, engage local artists, vendors, agencies and crews, and provide opportunities for on-the-job skill development and training. Producing a world-class experience for fans and artists alike, Move Afrika will set a new gold-standard for entertainment touring events, increasing demand from international and regional artists to tour in the region and building local capacity within host cities across the continent. Each year, additional countries will be added to the Move Afrika tour circuit, which will further expand across the continent over the next five years. 

    The 2025 edition of Move Afrika will drive a citizen-led advocacy campaign championing sustainable development and economic growth, with a dedicated focus on strengthening health systems across Africa. Together with campaign partners, Global Citizen will urge African nations to increase domestic health financing, prioritize primary care and sexual and reproductive health and rights, boost global investments in health resilience, and alleviate financial burdens on nations to strengthen public health. 

    A limited number of tickets for Move Afrika: Kigali and Move Afrika: Lagos are available for purchase at moveafrika.org. Additional details about the February Move Afrika tour, including how to earn free tickets by taking action with Global Citizen, will be announced in the coming weeks. 

    Partners of Move Afrika include pgLang and the Rwanda Development Board.

    “I’m honored and excited to perform in Kigali and Lagos as part of the Move Afrika tour – an initiative that not only brings unforgettable shows, but also creates entrepreneurship and job opportunities, empowering young people to engage with Africa’s growing music and creative industries,” said John Legend. “Africa has always been a global cultural powerhouse, and it’s an honor to be part of the future of live music on the continent.”

    “We’re thrilled to have John Legend, our longtime Global Citizen Ambassador and friend, headline Move Afrika, as we expand the tour from Rwanda to Nigeria,” said Hugh Evans, Co-Founder & CEO, Global Citizen. “As Move Afrika grows year over year, our goal is to equip and inspire Africa’s dynamic, young population to participate in the live music and creative industries, while investing in its future with lasting infrastructure that will mean the continent no longer needs to be excluded from the international touring circuit.”

    “Global Citizen and Move Afrika’s return to Rwanda in February 2025 underscores our shared commitment to showcasing Africa’s creative talent and leveraging the global entertainment industry to address the continent’s development priorities,” said Francis Gatare, Chief Executive Officer, Rwanda Development Board. “Together, we aim to position Rwanda as an entertainment hub that benefits all African countries, including by creating youth-focused employment and income-generating opportunities.” 

    The first Move Afrika event, Move Afrika: Rwanda, held in Kigali in December 2023, was headlined by Grammy Award, Pulitzer Prize winning artist Kendrick Lamar, and prioritized job creation, skill training and youth entrepreneurship along the way. The event employed more than 1000 Rwandans, and engaged 75 percent local crew and production staff. Hailed by many as the most successful live music event ever staged in Rwanda, the show also featured performances by Zuchu, Bruce Melodie, DJ TOXXYK, Sherrie Silver, Ariel Wayz, Kivumbi King and Bruce The 1st.

    The 2025 edition of Move Afrika will build on Global Citizen’s previous campaigns and events across Africa, including Move Afrika: Rwanda, held at the BK Arena in 2023; Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100, which featured Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Ed Sheeran, Usher, Eddie Vedder, and Chris Martin of Coldplay in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2018; Global Citizen Live: Lagos, with performances by Davido, Femi Kuti, and Tiwa Savage at Fela Kuti’s New Afrika Shrine in 2021; and Global Citizen Festival: Accra, which brought Usher, SZA, Stormzy, and TEMS to the Black Star Square in 2022.

  • Knock knock, you don’t know it yet but I’m about to reveal to you an experience that will start off your 2024 Christmas holiday in Lagos with a bang. Did I hear you say show me? Let’s go!

    So, picture yourself on the verge of your seat, overlooking the Five Cowries Creek, enthusiastically cheering on brightly coloured boats, decorated in the depth of Yoruba maritime culture, carrying a throng of people dancing as they parade past. Will they topple over, will they surge on, nobody knows, that’s part of the thrill. In the air, you can perceive the irresistible aroma of a barbecue sizzling nearby, your neighbours arguing about which boat looks the most fantastic, and children shrilling in the background as they admire the not-yet-comprehensible art of the boat that just rode past.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, the Lagos Boat Regatta! An elegant display of an interlock of people and culture; community and collaboration; art and spiritual worship; intention and innovation, reverence for source and sustenance, an experience so deeply cultural and artful that it speaks to the heart of Lagos.

    Submerged in the never-sleeping heart of Nigeria, preparations for the Lagos Boat Regatta 2024 are underway, scheduled for Saturday, December 21, 2024, at Five Cowries Creek. As Africa’s largest and most vibrant aquatic festival, the Lagos Boat Regatta is more than just a celebration; it’s a testament to the rich cultural diversity and historical significance of Lagos State. At this point, I hope you are out of your seat and cheering as you read this (like Bimbo Ademoye in that Glo ad).

    Here’s everything you need to know about this extraordinary event, why you must attend, and how to make the most of your experience.

    A Celebration of Lagos’ Maritime Heritage

    The Lagos Boat Regatta isn’t just a display of stunning, colourful boats and festivities; it is a deeply rooted cultural event honouring Lagos’ historical connectionto the waterways. The boat regatta practice was fashioned by the coastal and riverine peoples of Nigeria as a means of protecting and drawing sustenance from the environment through the use of watercraft to defend creeks and territorial waters. The regattas were also held to celebrate victories in trade and war and honour the Yoruba god of the ocean, Olokun, for protecting fishing expeditions.

    For centuries, Lagosians have relied on the creeks and lagoons for transportation, trade, and sustenance. The regatta celebrates this enduring relationship with water while showcasing the artistic and cultural traditions of the state.

    Anchored by the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, the 2024 edition aims to reinforce Lagos’ position as a premier tourism destination in Africa. The regatta is a melting pot of history, tradition, and modern entertainment, and absolutely unmissable for families, tourists, and culture enthusiasts alike.

    Event Highlights: What to Expect

    The Lagos Boat Regatta 2024 promises a day filled with a deeply cultural yet modern excitement, offering something for everyone. Here are the key highlights:

    1. Traditional Boat Races

    Watch in awe, perched on your seat as beautifully crafted boats glide across Five Cowries Creek in a thrilling display of skill and teamwork. In a spectacle of different races, the 10-man race, 8-man race, 4-man race and 20-man race, rowers from Lagos’ indigenous IBILE divisions— Ikorodu, Badagry, Ikeja, Lagos Island, and Epe —will compete in a series of high-energy races that combine strength, strategy, and Camaraderie.

    2. Colorful Boat Parades

    Prepare to be mesmerized by over 200 stunning boats adorned with intricate designs, vibrant colours, and cultural motifs for the IBILE parades, with each boat telling a unique story, representing the heritage and creativity of its community or owner. Here’s how to recognise and cheer your favourite communities on. Ikeja will be in white, Badagary in yellow, Ikorodu in green, Lagos Island in red and Epe in blue.

    3. Electrifying Live Performances

    As a special treat for the ears, 9ice and Teni will be blessing us with their music in addition to other music stars whose rousing sets will keep the energy high throughout the day. Just to add some asun on top of the smokey jollof, the music sets will be performed on a floating stage, come on now.

    4. Cultural Displays and Traditional Rites

    Experience the rich traditions of Lagos through captivating cultural displays, dances and ceremonies performed by the IBILE divisions. These communities exist in deep symbolism, reflecting the spiritual connection between Lagosians and their Waterways.

    5. Family-Friendly Activities

    The regatta celebrates camaraderie, community and culture, offering ample opportunity for adults and children alike to bond and have an unforgettable experience.

    How to Plan Your Visit

    At this point in this article, I am certain that your belle is tickly like butterflies are having a pre-regatta in there. Very good. Let’s make sure we take this hangout out of the article, shall we? To ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action, here’s how you can plan your visit to the Lagos Boat Regatta 2024:

    1. Reserve Your Viewing Spot

    The regatta will feature multiple official viewing centres strategically located along Five Cowries Creek. These centres offer optimal views of boat races, parades, and performances. To secure your spot, visit www.lagos-regatta.com or reserve a spot at LASWA (Five Cowries Creek), Falomo, Ikoyi; EcoBank Headquarters, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island; Wealth and Crown, 24 Ademola Street, Ikoyi; and the Boat Yard, Off Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1.

    2. Arrive Early

    The event will kick off by 8 am, so plan to arrive ahead of time to soak in the full experience. Parking and access to the viewing centres may become limited as the day progresses. Come early before you hear ‘sold out’.

    3. Dress Comfortably

    The regatta is an outdoor event, so dress comfortably but prove to me that you did not come to play. I want to see effort, T for thanks but don’t kee yourself though. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle to stay hydrated (reduce your use of one-use plastic plis).

    4. Bring Your Camera

    Show up and show out dear. From entry to exit, document this once-in-a-year activity, and capture every moment. Whether it’s the colourful boats, live performances, or scenic waterways, the regatta offers endless photo opportunities. Make sure to add #LagosBoatRegatta2024 to your photos.

  • Let’s be real, the festive season in Nigeria comes with an exciting vibe but a whole lot of spending! Detty December is full of concerts, parties, festivals or owambe invitations, gifts for family and friends, and miscellaneous costs that come from one thing or the other. Before you know it, January is knocking, and you’re looking at your bank account like, “Ah ah, who spent all this money?” 

    As we count down the days to the season again, I’ve been reflecting with Tricia, a close friend and colleague, who shared her 2023 holiday spending experience with me. Our conversations feel so relatable because she also indulges in a lot from hosting impromptu family gatherings to going to shows almost every other week to avoid FOMO and buying random things for a temporary thrill. January this year for her was tough as she was broke and full of regret. In so many ways, this mirrored my recurrent financial mistakes during the festive season, and it made me realise we both need to do better. So, inspired by Tricia’s experience and my own financial mistakes, here are five hacks to help you enjoy the holidays and avoid the new year, old me wahala!

    1. Plan your spending and stick to It 

    First things first: have a plan. I know planning sounds boring, but trust me, it works. Write down everything you’ll need—new clothes, tickets, gifts, food, activities—and set a budget for each. Last Christmas, I used gomoney’s goStash feature to save funds for my expenses. Once I hit my budget in a category, that was it—no last-minute impulse buys. Digital banking tools like this make it easier to stay disciplined. 

    2. Stock up early 

    If you’re waiting until the 24th of December to start shopping, you’re playing yourself. This year, I bought bulk items in November and saved a lot, avoiding unnecessary costs. Plus, there’s something satisfying about beating inflation at its own game.

    3. Use spending and tracking tools  

    The easiest way to manage your money this season is by keeping track of what you’re spending. Set clear limits for different categories like food, gifts, and entertainment. I once realized I was spending more on snacks than on transportation, and that was a wake-up call! Once you’re aware of where your money is going, it’s easier to stick to your budget.

    4. Limit group outings

    Hanging out with friends during the holidays is always fun, but it can get expensive fast. Instead of constantly going out for dinners, concerts, or events, suggest more budget-friendly alternatives like a movie night at home, a picnic, or a potluck. These low-cost options can be just as enjoyable and help you avoid overspending while still making great memories.

    Ultimately, the holidays are about creating memories, not stressing over your finances. Enjoy simple experiences like game nights, beach outings, potluck dinners, or goPlay cards with friends and family. These moments are priceless—and they don’t cost much. Trust me, starting January with money in your account feels way better than overspending just for the gram.

    Happy holidays!
