On Sunday 8th April 2012, the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos was the place to be as the anticipated AY Live on Easter Sunday show finally took place.
The well attended event saw in attendance some of Nigeria’s most fly such as Ini Edo, Tiwa Savage, Denrele Edun, Karen Igho, Funke Akindele, Ramsey Nouah, Uti Nwachukwu, Alex Ekubo among others and stars from the Ghanaian movie industry such as Jackie Appiah and John Dumelo.
From the music to the comedy, this show was simply fantastic. Couldn’t attend for one reason or the other? Never mind, BN has got you covered with all the photos.

this particular AY show does not look like they had fun, looks more like a collection of stars…..
Nice pix though.
the pictures are really lovely but some people really need to dress appropriate.
Oge Okoye and Ebube Nwogu seem to think they are posing for a nollywood movie poster!!!! nezianuuu poseeeeee! ghen ghen!
Ini Edo, why oh why would you wear this???? after you have been trying so far u just came to do this big mess up! i’m sad!

Oh Lord thank u for this comment!!…Correct one! *Side eye at Bella*

Karen igho-pls i’ll pass
The girl with the panty hose,and bum pls go back to ya hole
I go dye-what’s with the veins showing on his head.God
This was supposed to be a stand-up comedy. I felt like I was in Silverbird cinema or Tera couture for a short play!!! My best comedians for the night where MC Akporo, I go Die and Gordons. Comedians shd try n be think up ways to improve their brand. This advice is specifically for AY. He focused too much on personalities.I think Nigerians should learn how to keep up with the momentum of success. AY Show this year is nothing compared to what we had last year
There is no story about it. He is not a good comedian. Horrible diction,dry jokes and even the dry jokes are recycled. He just assembles personalities as a way of diverting attention from his lack of comic talent.
However, there is one thing you can’t take away from the lad, he is a good hustler. His hustling has made a way for him,dry jokes or not. I wish him well but i am not gullible enough to fall for his charm.
i share ur tots as well. iv always seen him as a dry comedian…or mayb its jst me
Na by force?

All d dressing na question mark, over dress or under dress dey worry naija girls.
Cellulite everywhere. what is wrong with these ladies? .
The lady in silver & Red dress (picture 236) did well.
in y spanish lingo……RACHETE much?
Helen Paul i love u but i hate ur foot wear.i don’t know why some peepo dressed like they r going to the club abeg its a show and learn how to dress appropriate
Leave Uti alone oooooo. If he poses una go yab am, If he sits with his best friend una go turn dem gay. Now they are out with female friends and ur problem is that he cant stay home. U should be totally ashamed of your boring self. To be a star is not just abt being seen in the big screen, ul also have to be present at events that count. Mtchwwww Ndi aguu.
Aunty Oge abeg smile na….we vex you?
ok let me start,i dont want to be….,but isn’t karen tired of eye lense,nor make so go blind ooh ok,coz u need to pose a little.well i’ve seen some real cool nice out fits but plissssssss ladies wearing super short cloths doesnt always makes u look hot,instead it makes u look stupid .emmp befor i forget abeg BN inbox the guy wey dey befor karen yi pic number abeg,the guy fine well well.lol

http://lucianochinwe.blogspot.com/
Most pple dressed like they were the commedians! haba.
oge okoye shaaaaaaaaaa…..lol…
Lots of ppl look nice. xoxo Demmy
Lots of inappropriate dressing here. Either over or under dressing. Please 9ja peeps, less is more. Kai!! Heard the show was borinnnnnnngggggg!
l don’t no y gals try to overdo things at times, less is more n no guy will take u serious if u dress anyhow. Dress the way u want 2 b addressed abeg. But l c that it was a well attended event sha.
99% of the people here look bad. People always look their best when they are effortlessly dressed. All that clownish makeup, loud Atilogwu inspired outfits, tiny dresses, too much fake hair, overstyled hair, sumo wrestler lace wigs. funny shoes, etc There are a lot of photos but I remember seeing about 3 decently dressed women.
lmao! sumo wrestler wigs?! damn!
my mommy said if i dont have anything nice to say, to just face front…**blank stare**
I spot a YUMMY MUMMY.
Ooooo the guy in the silver trousers.. that pic looks WRONG.. #renewyourmind#
Love AY..
Thanks BN for sharing.
http://lifeinstagesdoz.blogspot.co.uk/

Chai…too much ratchetness. I no fit talk!
On a positive note, Karen Igho is looking the best I’ve ever seen her – pure class!
hum mm…really and truly 9ja babes i tire….when they say its show,it means casual nice top and a pair of jeans and just look simple not dress as if u re going on the red carpet and posing like crayfish…haba its just a comedy show why look like the comedy why make pple laff @ the nonsense u put on..goodness with all em fake hairs and bags jeez!!! enough already its becoming a trade mark with all those things u re guys re doing……
Oh my that H&M pink/ red dress (221), I think I prefer the prints version! Naija people dey try oh! That dress just came out in H&M less than a month ago o! You can tell that some people just had to be there by force…Are you going to the beach that you wore hot paynt and tank top??? or the one with tights and NYSC shoes (304)??? or dracula (176). Nawa o…I will be back during lunch to read more comments
Hmmm. So much 2 comment abt but no strength. I will just pick on karen igho, franka Asindi, and the gurl wt d silver leggins. Franka, 4 Gods sake, u re a fashion mag editor. Pls get a stylist! Ur looks re always drab! Karen, gosh! Theres just sth wrong I cant place my finger on…d hair, d face,* phew*. The silver leggins girl, every1 can see d shape of ur private area thru dat leggins. Just tacky! And lastly, Lagos gurls simplicity is always key. U can neva go wrong. Dont understand all dis dress up just 4 a comedy show. BN abeg post my comments and weldone 4 a good job! P.S the guy dressed as aladdin lol, wheres ur lamp? *rolling eyes*

Nigerians and their dress sense sha.. they seize not to amaze me!!!all round of fashion sense here.. “anyhowimost show,mismatch,color blocking by force,crazies plus crazies,rocknroll by force,tight plus too tight, justgotoutofbed, idontcaremakeup, whiteface, byforceto wear stockingswithshort” anything you can thnk of you would find here. Don’t get me wrong there are some that are okay..but HA!! dem plenty wey just wan show face n show sey dem get cloth for here.
The dude underneath Ali Baba’s picture; WHO IS HE?????????????? Sheeeeeessssshhhh!!!!
She u all know that wearing shorts is not by force. a lot of lovely looking people. Karen Igho I see u o, Some peopl ere quite determined to dare us to say something ‘like why go out looking like that or did you nlook in the mirror”
I am still looking forward to seeing less wigs on women and more natural looking hair, so we can see ya beautiful faces
Denrele’s look and pose is so played out *double yawn*, he shd shock us with a fresh brit style, DonJazzy tho (LuvHim)
Let’s accept our ‘stars’ like that… I’m referring to the numerous ‘complaints’ re: the mode of dressing. After all, “there’s nothing like bad publicity in showbiz”. Chikena.
Best dressed for me is the girl in flowery top, jeans and animal print shoes. I’m still waiting for pics of people laughing their hearts out. All I see is boning faces, was it that boring?
Helen Paul I hate yor shoe….
Ramsey !!!
smh……………na wah
THESE PP; NO LOOK MIRROR BEFORE THEM COMOT FOR HOUSE???? NIGERIANS, DOING THE ABSOLUTE MOST SINCE OCTOBER 1ST 1960..
I love denrele, no doubts about it even though his pose looks so same old same old plus i sat like three tables away from him and he kept dancing when an artiste came onstage……at least he had to support his people.
the show was not all that, Ruki Sanda looked nice and i love karen Igho’s karen Millen dress. Funke Akindele should take a cue from Jackie……….good show and i sure can tell denrele rocked the after party, he is just a rocker!
wow! Oge Okoye’s face must be in a perpetual state of discomfort, all that “pouting” for what?. And see Ebube whatsherface? wanting to jump in the game. Mschew!
Compare Rukky Sanda’s hand to her face….smh!!!
surely if i see uti and karen one more time, i might just faint.why oh why do they have to be evrywhere.ini edo please,GET A STYLIST!!!!!
Monalisa, u look good but don’t wear ds kinda bra next time!
lol! 90% of these people look like cheap circus acts! *sigh*
Who dresses them?! This has got to be a crime!
I bencoben international a.k.a fear non. Want to use dis oppt. To greet my friends especially in awada onitsha by saying hi! To every one.
LMAO! Oh boy, you miss road o…
ewwww @ d girl with the orange shorts…..camel toe….
Woow they all look bored as hell! damn! some are overly dressed i mean it’s a comedy show, ain’t shit that serious. And some look like they’re off to picnic. na wah o! it’s been a while i left naija, but seems they like to put on their Sunday’s best even to walk down the street. haba! Oge Okoye, sweetie you look like a constipated duck with your face like that. chill!
NIGERIANS TRY TO F- HARD….. JUST TAKE IT EASY SMH
I love my people but this fanta and coke combination is not good o, and then mamiwata hair, chai, naija men you try sha. Okay, Tiwa looks pretty as usual. I like Monalisa, and how Jackie kept it simple. Please, leave John alone, he’s enjoying his vacation with Fufu, when he starts work again, he will hit the gym.
I really luv Karen’s dress! Super beautiful n very ladylike!…Jackie Appiah is soo damn beautiful plus gorgeous n classy look!
great
my real complain the dressing is terrible, only with the exception of edun,what were people thinking. people should really learn from this pictures in nigeria because our fashion is way above normal. sorry. even the actresses and artist one should look up to are nt even trying, their dressing is even worst. pls again am saying this let step it up a bit. bella naija i have a question for u: is there a way nigerian artist and actresses see this comment if there is no way pls find a way. thank u.
The girl in orange colour underwear, sorry, shorts, is dt ur clitoris/vulva showing or are ♍γ̲̣̣̥ eyes deceiving me, oge okoye don wowo finish, I go die is still skinny upon sey e don c small cash, ℓ☺ℓ
…ah! ….Monalisa needs to go for a proper bra fitting otherwise her outfit looks great!
http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/AY-Live-Show-April-2012-BellaNaija-304.jpg
like seriously??????????????
Na wa!!! http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/AY-Live-Show-April-2012-BellaNaija-266.jpg
I totally agree with you guys. Nigerians do need help with their dressing especially the ladies. There are outfits for comedy shows, parties, movie premier and all sorts. Please always take a second look before stepping out.
Oge okoye……..why dont u ever wear what fits u?? Hire a stylist asap!!!!
Jackie Appiah……. U’re beautiful!!!
Karen….I like the fact that your bust is covered!!!
Look at Karen Ighos makeup… chai! Lord Have mercy
i love my girl TIWA SAVAGE
I usually don’t do this, but pleeeeeeeease people a word of advice:
1. if your thighs are as big as mine, do not, i repeat do not wear shorts or short dresses! for pete’s sake do they cut off the dresses where ur hands stop on your thighs?!
2. if ur hair is discoloured from using fake relaxers in the past or naturally so, do not wear black weavon. (same applies to dark-haired ladies wearing blonde/gold hair).
3. please, please, please retouch your hair or use a flat comb to straighten your hair if you must bring some hair out when fixing your weavon. also, if u decide not to bring hair out, the whole pack of hair must not cover your face.
4. pouting doesn’t make you look sexy. always wear your natural look. (for uuuu…. you are an actress not a superhero, a normal human being. put some life in ur pic and stop looking like u got some excessive botox shots)
5. colour blocking…. hmmmm… i comment my reserve. Even that one get code too.
6. silver pant, sky blue, gold “patent” leggings and co, orange sleeping shorts, lady-in-black wearing-body-magic-as-top, brazier-wearing ones, and those with weird leg poses….. People, please, dress appropriately!
am stil wondering y d beautiful ones stay indoors while the bad ugly go all out??? i can c saucy osama trin to belong…hahaha
cant stop laffing at d guy in d nyc gold n red shirt, and ankara shorts..he sure looks like a clown
Nigerian Women and Thighs…smh… Abeg who sabi the girl (32nd from top), I wan her # asap.. no long thing!
hahahahahhahahaaaa……belllanaija una no go kill me…evryone up in here talking about cellulite thighs….u shud check out the camel toe gals re exposing evry whr!!! lordy!! is dat the new trend? someone called it vulvar or clitoris and i fell of my chair laughing!!
