I was watching entertainment news on TV with a
couple of friends and it got to a part where Tuface
was on stage performing and a girl who probably
was as drunk as a skunk, dragged herself on the
stage and started hugging him and even took off
her shirt . What is actually wrong with Naija babes
at concerts? How do you expect your boyfriend to
feel watching his girlfriend on national TV jumping
around Tuface on stage like a chimpanzee wearing
just a bra and with boobs wobbling from side to
side? Well, Tu-baba surely didn’t mind. He probably
would have grabbed at those bouncy boobs if it
wasn’t a concert. Twale Baba!!!
Here are some of the annoying things Naija babes
do at concerts.
1. Taking pictures the entire show: I get it. You want
to show all your friends on Facebook and Twitter
that you were at the concert. Fine. Take a photo.
Take five if you want. But please, don’t take 1000!
You always manage to hold your camera right in
my line of sight. You don’t even look like you’re
enjoying the show while you’re doing this. All your
attention is on the pictures you are taking. And
you know what? Those pictures are all going to
look like nonsense, every single one of them.
You’re too far away from the stage. You’ll
probably never even look at them. Also, you see
those guys right in front of the stage with the
giant cameras? They’re taking great professional
pictures. There’s really no need for yours.

2. Checking Facebook, Twitter and Instagram every
couple of minute Unless you’re a surgeon who’s
expecting an emergency call or message,
everything can wait. Live in the moment. Enjoy
the show. You paid gate fee to be here. You can
tweet your friends when you get home. Also, your
fake China phone emits a very harsh and
distracting light. For the love of God, turn the
damn thing off!
3. Incessantly talking to your friends: You might not
like whatever song is playing. You may be bored
with the show in general. You may have been
dragged here by your boyfriend against your will.
But you’ve been talking all through the entire
show, and I can hear everything you are saying.
It’s driving me crazy. Please shut the hell up! I
can’t tell you how many shows I attend where the
girls in front of me are yelling in each other’s ear
the entire night. Not only is my sightline blocked
when their cheap wigs or weave-on come
together, but I can hear their gossip. Take your
chit-chat to one of the food vendor’s shed and
stay there till the show is over, or go spread a
wrapper under that pawpaw tree and lie down and
talk till morning. I don’t care. Just shut up so I can
enjoy the show.
4. Yelling out requests: ‘Yaaay, I want Styl-plus to
play “Imagine That”’. Hey girls, imagine if you
shut up and stop screaming in my ear; most of
the time, the song list is pre-determined, and
they can’t even hear you from up there. They’re
going to play what they’re going to play. Just go
along for the ride. Damn it! 5.
5. Yelling out the names of the artiste on stage: This
is another level of irritation. This has never been
funny. Maybe it was cool in the 80s. Now, it’s just
madness.
6. Pushing your way to the front: If a concert is
general admission, the people in front earned
their spots. They got there early and laid claim to
their space. The people all the way in front might
have even spent all day waiting by the doors, so
when the show begins and you shove your way to
the front, you’re being a huge distraction. Don’t do
that. If you show up late and there’s only room in
the back, you’ve just have to deal with it.
7. Getting so drunk you puke: Girls these days drink
like sharks. You see them at Felaberation
smoking igbo even more than TerryG. I feel sorry
for those who have to clean up the venue after
the concerts. I can imagine the types of vomit
and stench they have to clean up.
8. Loudly complaining after the show because the
artiste didn’t play your favourite song: This is
actually one of the crazy things we see after each
concert. Babes, try to enjoy the show you’re
getting as opposed to the one you wish you were
seeing. Besides, haven’t you heard “Kukere” and
“Shoki” enough?
9. Filming the entire show on your mobile phone:
This distracts people even worse than taking
pictures, and usually results in an equally horrid
product. The sad irony is that people tend to film
their favourite songs, but the smiles on their
faces are gone when all their concentration goes
into capturing these moments on film. Next
morning, Instagram will be cluttered with crappy
cell phone videos of every song from the concert.
Stop tagging me to these crappy videos. I was at
the concert for Christ sake! You paid good money
to see a show, and you’re joylessly watching it
through a tiny screen on your mobile phone. It
just doesn’t make any sense.
