Yemi Alade will perform, During the 2023 AFCON opening ceremony

Yemi Alade, a well-known musician from Nigeria, will perform in the opening ceremony of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.

On Thursday, January 11, 2023, Yemi Alade enthusiastically informed her fans on her social media platform, X, of this exciting news.

The singer expressed her happiness and called the chance a dream come true. She talked about the importance of prayer and achieving one’s goals, sharing that she had always wanted to perform in front of a large crowd at a football stadium.

Yemi Alade said, “I can’t buttress the importance of prayer and speaking your heart desires into existence,” as she thought back on her path. Since 2016, I had wished to perform at the stadium for football celebrations surrounded by 100’s of dancers and millions of people.

…people.Alot of calls came in almost every year when football championship preparations were made, but none was favourable. I never said this, but at some point i started feeling like my team was chasing them away 🤣, but something told me to ..
