Image
      Yesterday at Nickelodeon ''NickFest'',which was held at the Federal Palace Hotel and Suit,Victoria Island Lagos,Nigerian musician Yemi Alade was ambushed and poured green slime water immediately after she finished performing.Am shocked she was picked on because she is not the only musician that performed,Musician Simi also performed and I heard before I arrived Davido performed.Though Yemi Alade was allowed to remove the pink and white outfit she wore during her performance.She was given a NickFest vest,then she wrapped her hair and she used her hands to cover her face so that her makeup will not be ruined.Simi's very short red outfit {red top} was frowned upon by some mothers though she was cheered but next time she should not just wear a big top to come and perform.Ik and Emmanuella of Mark Angel comedy were the host/presenters for yesterday event.I had fun and I believe every other person who attended the NickFest also had fun.More photos below.
