that crowd would have easily made another debordement into the stadium
man people should respect jb and werra playing 6 or7 times combined in that stadium,i am curious to see how many times and if awilo performed at surulere stadium in lagos i think thats the only which could come close in terms of crowd

Jb really messed up by not releasing an album in 2002 or 2003.

Does there an official VHS exist of Awilo's three days event at Surulere stadium of Lagos ?

three days? jEEEZZZZ i was convinced he was performing there like once then once next year
now i understand why naija artists have immense admiration for awilo

Awilo Longomba performed there in 2000. He filled that stadium like Werrason did in 2003 and that 3 days in a row. He did something similar in Benin or Kampala the same year. They invited Koffi the same year to perform in Lagos, but he wasn't able to fill at least 50% of the stadium. 50 Cent and P-Square also performed there later, but no one of them was able to fill the whole stadium. If I remember well Awilo only returne in 2004 back in Lagos, but that was for a normal concert. Then from 2012/13 he's invited every year to jury for tv-shows, playbacks and featerings with Nigerian artists, since that he's seen as a legend there.

 i remember in 2000's when i was going to see my west african relatives  i was surprised to see how they were selling stuff with awilo's face on it in togo for exemple if you came and said you are from congo they'd say ohh  le pays d'awilo,actually because of that gate le coin with guy guy fall,bouro alain they were calling him awilolo( because of they way they were hearing fall saying bulukututu mamee awilo longomba they though it was awilolo gomba : )

My brother once said that he went to Cotounou back in 1999/2000 and there was a discussion between a Congolese guy against some Beninese people in a bar, after that the Congolese guy said that Awilo isn't popular in Congo and it became worser when he said that Awilo used to drum for Papa Wemba. Them all saying that he was jealous and Awilo could never be Papa Wemba's drummer and my brother trying to call them all down. One of the Beninese guys was really  frustrated saying in French with his accent "how would you dare to say that awilo was a drummer" and the Congolese friend saying to my brother "tell them the truth", but him just ignoring to avoid a fight. Just to show how he was seen as a god there.
