<p>Making a return to the Eko Hotel and Suites, #OLIC5 went down on Sunday night, December 23, 2018 offering a carnival like event like never seen before.</p>

<p>Olamide performing for over two hours thrilled the fans with a set that included a rich catalog packed with nothing but hit anthems, well choreographed routines and energetic performances as he communicated an explicit message to make this a memorable event.</p>

<p>The night which started pretty slowly with fans only trickling in little numbers witnessed back to back uninterrupted opening performances from a number of rising talents including <strong>Street Billionaires, King Perryy, Barry Jhay</strong> who set things off with his viral single, <em>'Aiye Ole.'</em></p>

<p>Other artists who ushered in the concert were <strong>Dapo Tuburna</strong>, <strong>Oladips</strong>, <strong>Chinko Ekun</strong> with <em>'Able God'</em> and <strong>Victor AD</strong> of the <em>'Wetin We Gain'</em> fame.</p>

<p>Shortly after his performance, there was a well played out clip that saw members of the YBNL family gathered at a conference table as <strong>Olamide</strong> walked into their midst and what followed was an introduction of each member of the family to take the stage.</p>

<p><strong>Limerick, Lyta, Davolee, Fire Boy, Picazzo, Yomi Blaze, Temmie Ovwasa</strong> all enjoyed some shine time on the night.</p>

<p>Then it was time for the main act as hypeman <strong>Do2dtun</strong> came on stage to usher in <strong>Olamide </strong>who emerged wearing a mask to the sounds of <em>'Rayban Abacha'.</em></p>

<p>Olamide's first set saw him belt songs like, <em>'Ilefo iluminati', 'Prayer for the Client', 'Grind'</em> with <strong>SoSick</strong> joining him on stage, <em>'Voice of the streets', 'Goons Mi' and 'Sitting On The Throne' </em>where an actual throne was brought on stage.</p>

<p><strong>DJ Consequence</strong> and <strong>Veentage Band</strong> provided some interlude while Olamide re-emerged for his second set in a changed outfit with snippets of songs like <em>'Durosoke', 'Yemi My Lover', 'Matters Arising', 'Turn Up', 'Lagos Boys', 'Story For The Gods'</em> and more.</p>

<p>One telling thing about his performances was his set of dancers who created a unique dance routine with every song performed on the night making it more into a movie.</p>

<p>There were more guest appearances in the form of <strong>Reminisce</strong> who performed <em>'Ponmile', </em><strong>Timaya, Phyno</strong> and <strong>Naira Marley</strong> who was joined by <strong>Lil Kesh</strong> as they together sang the hit single, <em>'Issa GoaI'.</em></p>

<p>The biggest surprise on the night was when <strong>Wizkid</strong> who had a show on the same night pulled up on stage to perform <em>'Kana'</em> with Olamide, before delivering his own songs from <em>'Ojuelegba', 'Fever', 'Fake Love'</em> and<em> 'Soco.'</em></p>

<p>By this time it was way into the morning of Monday, Christmas Eve as Olamide brought the show to its close with his last set of songs from <em>'Motigbana', 'Wo', 'Science Student'</em> and <em>'Poverty Die.'</em></p>

<p>As far as live experiences go, Olamide has the raw energy to spark an hellish surge of excitement with his stage craft.</p>

<p>From kids holding banners with the inscription <em>''Olamide, you are a legend''</em> to an adult waving a Starboy jersey with Olamide's name boldly written on it and the fan on the wheel chair who somehow made it on stage and had to be separated from Olamide's legs to little <strong>Pelumi</strong>, the young dancer who won not just the heart of the crowd but a reward from the Badoo.</p>

<p>OLIC5 was a beautiful mayhem that ensured that the fans lost their home training singing, screaming and standing on their seats as Olamide delivered a concert worthy of his reputation as the king of the streets and cemented his position as one of the most electrifying performers of his time.</p>
