2Face and Faze back together… just for a moment
The Plantashun Boiz were once the biggest contemporary act in Nigeria. 2Face, Faze and Blackface were the subject of many teenage girls’ fantasies with their hit songs such as Don’t U Know, You And I and Knock Me Off in the late 90s and early 00s.
Following their breakup in the middle of the previous decade, their musical journeys took different routes with all three members going solo.
But on Saturday August 1 at the IBB Square in Makurdi, Benue state, 2Face and Faze came together for a rare stage reunion at the Star Music Trek 2015 #MakurdiRocks concert, which also featured performances from Yemi Alade, Runtown, Kcee, MI, DJ Neptune, Tony Blaze and Gbenga Adeyinka.
The concert, which was a homecoming of sorts for Benue state homeboy 2Face, was packed to the rafters with thousands of fans eager to set eyes on their hometown hero.
After performing several of his hits, he surprised the crowd by inviting erstwhile bandmate Faze onstage and then the evening got really intense.
Hmmmm! I dey look o. That was pretty obvious anyway. There went another eight useless years of stagnation if not backwardness all on the alter of parachialism and god-fatherism. All our backwardness as a country came from the days when the the military came into governance and they are still at it till date.
