The trek from Abuja to Lagos to Washington DC all led to a dazzling climax at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the ThisDay Africa Rising campaign for 2008 has come to a close. The London event took place on the 14th of October 2008 featuring musical performances from superstars including Seal & Christina Aguilera alongside fashion from Nigeria’s best designers including Deola Sagoe, Lisa Folawiyo’s Jewel By Lisa & Fati Asibelua’s MOMO Couture. ThisDay also took this opportunity to launch its new glossy international publication, ARISE.
The event was a worthy close to an ambitious campaign.

Look let me clarify, Yahoozie is about enjoying life to the MAX, nothing in the lyrics says do internet fraud or steal so therefore ppl stop going on about Yahoozie being bad……… YAHOOZIE till I DIE lol
dude…nobody is condemning the song. its a fun song about yahoo yahoo. we all know that. & we all know where the money sang about in d song comes from, lets not act like we dont know
This soooo interesting - I LOVE IT, but am just upset they keep saying he was ‘celebrating african culture”.. Yahooze is NOT African culture…Just a reallly fun hot song, we like to dance to!
actually its “modern” african (nigerian) culture, whether we like it or not
