After the formal proceedings which happened in the morning, the LGBTQI community wrapped up the day with a music festival in the evening which was quite a hit.
Different DJs from the community that is also known as the rainbow people kept revellers entertained with endless music of different genres. DJs including DJ Lady Boss, DJ Yun K Shi, DJ Fellow, DJ Maronza, and others who are members of the LGBTQI community, kept the event lively with a variety of music from both domestic and foreign musicians.
However, the majority of the playlists' music was Amapiano, which is popular among the younger population. They also aired Afro-Pop music from Nigeria. The rainbow community, who were obviously having a good time and appeared to be quite liberated and at peace, danced the night away. They are, among other things, a very colourful, happy, and life-loving people.
Additionally, they take care to express themselves through their sense of style and let their clothing do the talking. Many people donned vibrant rainbow colours, while others manufactured or even purchased ensembles with all the colours of the rainbow. From wearing shorts, skirts and dresses with t-shirts while some opted for colourful two pieces and mash tops to funky hairstyle and beautiful jewellery. They enjoyed the festival. They were treated to good music by a local artist, Fifi Africa, who was the guest performer.
She wore a white tight mini dress decorated with some silver beads or stones and a silver bra that could be seen by everyone since her dress was half buttoned exposing her cleavage. She had put on matching silver stilettos and wore a pink Afro wig. In the stage, her crew had set a nice white couch decorated with a bit of pink.
She sang songs from different artists both from Africa and abroad. However, poor sound and lighting nearly ruined her performance but she kept on entertaining her fans who were lost in their own world enjoying every bit of her performances. The festival continued till late.
