Night of 1001 Laughs (pics)

This might be one of the only events that lived up to its name during the entire reunion. The host (Seyi Brown) was FUNNY, and I found it hilarious that he focused so much on Igbo people during the evening. Igbo Kwenu!

Anyway, aside from the host (who was cute but sadly for us married with a child), there were performances from:

Ngozi something?-she was very pretty and has a great voice. Unfortunately she had to sing the AMERICAN national anthem at a NIGERIAN event. She did a good job, but there was much laughter and disturbance during her performance.

The lady doctor/gospel singer from the earlier "Talent Show": who was supposed to sing the Nigerian national anthem but messed up the 2nd line that goes: "To serve our fatherland". When this happened, the people sitting around me burst into laughter and someone muttered that Ms. lady doctor must not have been back to Nigeria for A WHILE. (pic below)

Naija Boys-they did a few of their songs and maintained their promise of "African Thriller"...it wasnt a bad performance, but I've seen all their stuff before so I wasn't blown away.

Michael Blackson-who is still as vulgar as ever. I didn't find him very funny and he definitely needs new material as far as his "I am so black you can't see me at night" jokes.

Jedi-who took us down memory lane with his jokes. Remember these commercials? When Jedi offered to perform one of his songs, apparently he is also a singer, some girl in the audience yelled "No!" and when he heard her, he actually came up to her and sang the song to her. I thought that was a very cute way to save face without embarrassing the poor girl.

Some Guy-I dont know who this guy is, but apparently people think he is cute. I don't get it, but whatever. He was the one who did some MJ moves? As you can see, I was not sufficiently impressed with his performance to remember even his name.

Mike Okri-some of you are going to shoot me for saying this, but I don't like his music. However I wasn't in the minority at the reunion so ha!! Anyway, when he performed his first song "Troubled Girl", a "troubled woman" came up on stage (see pic below) to dance with him. I don't know who she was or where she came from, but the razzness she exhibited with her blond weave and scary black pseudo-hooker outfit was beyond belief.

PS: There was a "red carpet" at this event. So camera-lovers had a chance to shine this night. I'm sure the pics will be online soon. Then you can see what people were wearing. I loved some of the african attire with modern twists. I have to say, people looked nice. Some guy came out looking like he was trying out for the Igbo chieftancy part in a Nollywood movie. He even had the "whistle" and blew on it repeatedly during the event. Igbo Kwenu!



I really don't know what to say about this woman. First, nobody wanted her on stage! Should I start with her makeup? The horrible jumpsuit-leopard print outfit? The blonde weave? (And you know she wasn't the only one rocking horrific blonde weave at the reunion). If you had seen these two up on stage trying to bump n' grind you might have left immediately. This lady is really one of those "visa miss road" people.



"Some guy" who sang some song and did some acrobatics or something. I still don't know his name, and I've stopped caring.
