Love from Liberia!
During his three day trip to Liberia, Flavour captivated the hearts and souls of fans and government officials. From the minute he landed, the highlife superstar received a warm and graceful welcome at Liberia’s International Airport, from senior members of the Liberian government and from the Nigerian Embassy.
As the saying goes, “Home is where the heart is,” and Flavour was certainly made to feel at home. On the first day, he was met by Enugu’s Cultural Ogene Dancers, who dazzled him with their cultural dance display, of which he could not help but join in.
Flavour made headlines in the news in Liberia on Day Two. He was trending on social media throughout Africa, after his live concert at Gbedze Beach where Flavour thrilled his Liberian fans, along with the country’s military and state government officials.
Liberia’s Vice President, Mr. Jospeh Boaki was also keen to extend the country’s welcome to the highlife King. The Vice President and his son, who is a budding musician, personally hosted Flavour at Capitol Government building, on Day Three of the trip.
With philanthropy being at the centre of Flavour’s musical work, Rosetta Steps Educational Foundation invited him to spend some time with their core children’s after-school literacy group, who were excited to meet him. The children were left encouraged and motivated by Flavour’s visit and Flavour was in full support of their #readtosucceed campaign.
The United Nation’s mission headquarters in Liberia, extended a personal invite to Flavour, where U.N. Force Commander, Major General Uba and Major General, Daniel Ziakhan introduced Flavour to key peace-keeping staffs.
Day Three rounded off with a stellar traditional ceremony at the Liberia Crusaders for Peace village, hosted by popular songstress and Traditional Queen Ruler, Juli Endee. There were several major highlights of the ceremony, the most touching moment came from one of Flavour’s youngest Liberian fans: Semah G. Weifur.
Semah was born blind, however this amazing young boy, did not let this hinder his talent in singing. Having listened to Flavour’s songs for some time, Semah studiously learned a majority of Flavour’s song lyrics by heart. Meeting his music idol Flavour, has been one his biggest dreams, which he fulfilled that day, when he was taken unaware during his music dedication to the star. Flavour surprised Semah mid-performance by joining him in singing.
There was not a dry eye at the venue after Semah excitedly embraced his music hero.
Throughout his entire trip in Liberia, Flavour effortlessly proves how an icon can genuinely touch hearts and lives with his innate and unique talent!
