Angélique Kidjo, who will be performing in Lagos, Nigeria, said it will be her first time performing in the state.
“This is my first time in Lagos… My first time playing in Lagos. The last time I was here was in ’93. I left here at 13 years old.”
She added that her father was “too afraid” of her mum to bring her here because he feared if she comes here, she won’t want to go back to resume school.
