MC Edopikin Pushes Culture with Edo in Eko Show

The finest of comedy and music talents drawn from Edo and the Lagos States will be on showcase when MC Edopikin holds his comedy show tagged ‘Edo in Eko’ on September 29 at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

‘Edo in Eko’ promises to be a rich interplay of culture, colours and entertainment, highlighting the historical relationship between the two major talent hubs from the South-west and South-south of Nigeria.

“The show is aimed at promoting cultural integration between the Edo and Eko talents because there’s a strong historical background between the two cultures,” said Edopikin whose real name is Gbadamasi Jonathan. “I believe the likes of Rema, Shallipopi, Sir Victor Uwaifo and so many legends have taken the Edo brand to the world and have graced the biggest stages, so I believe I can also do it in comedy.”

Edopikin further revealed that the show would be a yearly affair that is expected to pool prominent Edo personalities.

So far, the show has attracted the backing of corporate and individual entities such as Nigerian Breweries brands, AY Homes, Greatiby Exchange and Landsmith Construction. Wande Coal, Skales, Influence Akaba, DeStalker, Acapella, Akpororo, Koboko Master, MC Casino, Sarkin Daria, MC Yanist Magnito and other upcoming talents from Edo are among the lined-up entertainers for the show
