Ajebo flags off anti-drug campaign in campuses

Laugh merchant, celebrated comedian and On Air Personality, Emeka Erem, aka Ajebo, last Wednesday, March 8, flagged off his comedy and music concert, Ajebo Unleashed at the University of Abuja.

However, the comedian revealed that the thrust of the concert is not just to give back to his teeming fans, but to inspire students across Nigeria to stay off drugs.

“We had a very successful outing on Wednesday and we are hoping to repeat the same thing in campuses across Nigeria. We are going with two hash tags. One of is #DontDoDrugs. No matter how much it has been said, we will not stop talking about it. Drugs kill. As an entertainer, I can stand here today to tell you that I didn’t need to take any performance enhancing drug to perform on stage,” he said.

Sponsored by Minimie Chinchin in partnership with Wow Production, his production outfit, the comedian, revealed that the second hash tag, #SurviveOnCreativity is geared towards letting Nigerian youths know that their future is in their hands. The idea, he said, is to urge them to survive on their God given talents by building an entrepreneurial mindset even while on campus.

“We are trying to also push the message of entrepreneurship. We cannot protest, we cannot fight, we cannot take up arms. What we have is entertainment and that is what we are using to talk to the youths of this country,” he said.

In addition to all that, Ajebo revealed that he will also be giving out a cash gift of N100,000 to one lucky person.

“All they have to do is to shoot a one minute video of how they break the boredom on campus and tag his Instagram handle, @ajebodcomedian using the hashtag, #minimiechichinbreaktheboredomchallenge. Also on campuses, we will be giving out cash prizes to three lucky people in an open mic session at the show,” he added.

The campus tour will berth at the Nasarawa State University while also stopping over at Babcock University on March 12, UNILAG on March 15, Lead City March on March 24 and UNIBEN on the 6th of April.

Among comedians who will be following him on the tour are Seyi Law, Akpororo, Elenu, Acapella, Pencil, Kenny Blaq, MC Shakara, Kilnt de Drunk, Osama, Ambassador Wahala, Chucks de General and others while the likes MI, Skales, MCGalaxy, Reekado Banks will be providing music.
