True to its hype, the second edition of the ‘Ghana Meets Naija’ musical face-off which took place on June 30 lived up to the expectations and has consequently been rated as the biggest show the year has seen so far. The already established cordial relationship between Ghana and Nigeria aided in this concept which gives the opportunities to artistes who have banging hits in the year from thoese two countries to showdown on one platform. Though not a competition, it was quite glaring that, the artistes representing the home team on the red, gold and green with a black five-pointed star in the centre of the gold stripe ‘outclassed’ their counterparts who represented the green and white colours. The away team-Naija was at a numerical disadvantage as they had only five artistes on the bill, compared to as many as ten (Buk Bak didn’t perform) from the home country, Ghana. The two opposing DJs, Ghana’s untouchable, DJ Mensa and Nigerian’s finest DJ Nepture both had the chance to entertain patrons for close to ten minutes each by dishing out hits upon hits after couple of performances. It’s difficult to pin-point which of them stole the night as songs played by them were received by patrons and got them on their feet dancing. His royal blackness, DJ Black excited and teased the patrons on the time table with mixes of various genre of music.
