December to Remember concert - Twitter the revisitor

I was supposed to be singing "Obi nka sɛ 24th kɔ wo kurom" on December 24th as I made my way towards Kumasi to spend the holidays. However, I spent a little too much time working earlier that day that by the time I was going to head to Kumasi, it was a bit too late. That's when I made the decision to go to +Citi97.3FM's December to Remember concert - #D2R2013. I sought a ticket and then got one. I was exhausted for reasons I can't remember that evening so I took a nap. I woke up and spent more time blogging. It wasn't until I heard +M.anifest had gotten onto the stage that I proceeded to go to the Accra International Conference Centre more seriously. I picked up a friend of +Seyram Freddy Ahiabor's, himself and some short bread for +yorm ackuaku and we were headed to #D2R.

We arrived and were welcomed by +Mawuli Tsikata who handed me a ticket and +Donald Ward who handed Seyram one. "Tweet plenty and write a blog post", said Mawuli. Once I entered and saw Yorm, +Nehemiah Attigah, +Nana Fynn Class-Peters, +Kojo Akoto Boateng and the +Party Crew squad and co, the enjoyment had begun. But when I saw that screen showing #d2r2013 tweets, it was clear I would be doing a little more tweeting than dancing. Here's the evidence.

The December to Remember concert oozes class from what I've seen so far. Not compromising fun either. Lovely. Kudos @citi973. #d2r2013

Revellers were asked to come in white top and blue jeans. Not everyone followed it, but many wore white and the uniformity was superb. It prevented crowdiness and many other things not enjoyable about going to concerts in Ghana.

So you made to December to Remember #d2r2013, well done. If you're lost for where else to go this xmas, follow @PartyCrewGH. #partycrewgh

I do a typo sef. But yeah, if you have an Airtel Money account, use it more seriously at airtelmoneymarket.com - buy music, video, ebooks and more.

This girl dancing in front of me is opaque. blocking my view. But I like what she's doing. So yeah. Slow motion, like body lotion. #d2r2013
— Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) December 24, 2013

People loved seeing this tweet on the big screen. Whether this girl noticed it is another topic. My guess is she was too busy dancing to pay attention to Twitter even when it was on a huge screen right next to her.

Yeah, @ienyonam

Okay, Kaakie just said 'Rest in peace, Nelson Mandela'. @KaakieGH, you go go far. Too much. She's on stage at #d2r2013. #partycrewgh
— Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) December 24, 2013

Kaakie is one of the dancehall queen heavyweights in Africa already. She gained more respect from me when she remembered Nelson Mandela.

Haven't seen a song skyrocket to the top go the charts in #Ghana like @1RealJoeyB's Tonga. Massive hit. #d2r2013 #partycrewgh cc @Museke
— Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) December 24, 2013

Joey B has a top song in Ghana now. All because of tonga, tonga, #tonga!

Bash has got swag. From emceeing Intel education events in #Nigeria to @Citi973 musical concerts in #Ghana. #d2r2013 #partycrewgh
— Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) December 25, 2013

I saw him emcee the Intel Explore & Learn launch in Lagos and then this December to Remember concert in Accra. Going places.

Tic Tac's Philomina was a ground breaking hit. Also introduced Obrafour to us more seriously. "Obiara ama ne nsa so. Wayy kɔtɔ!" #d2r2013
— Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) December 25, 2013

Tic Tac is a great guy! I wish that he continues to remain relevant as long as he makes music and long after he's done. Obrafour too!

EL is the most promising rapper in Ghana. Can't say enough good things about @elrepgh. My mate from #Presec. Yeah. :) #d2r2013
— Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) December 25, 2013

Elom Adablah is my mate from Presec. Surprisingly, a lot of people don't know he's an Odadee. +Elom Adablah, do something about that :-)

CITI FM's cameras caught me and then I was on the big screen in this tweet. Guess what I was doing in the picture? Tweeting :-)

"Da n'ase, da n'ase. Da Onyame n'ase. Ɛɛfiri sɛ, oye, na n'adɔ yɛ dɔɔ so". Thank You Lord Jesus. #TYLJ. #D2R2013

Castro Destroyer came to destroy the devil. Figuratively and literally. The concert ended with a standup praise and worship service. Early church service for many revellers. It was a great concert.

Kudos to @AfricanMogul, @benkoku, @Kpakade, @MawuliTsikata & the @Citi973 crew on an awesome #d2r2013 concert. Loved it.

Kudos to the CITI FM crew and the organizers for a great concert.
