The 2012 Lagos Countdown is a world-class celebration of the end of one year and the beginning of another…Lagos Style. The series of event will take place at Eko Atlantic City (Ahmadu Bello way through Bar Beach stretch until Eko Atlantic Office). The event is being conceived to create an end of year crossover tradition that would engage citizens of the state (and visitors) throughout the end of year holiday season.
The event will take special significance at the Eko Atlantic City particularly because all of the land that was washed away by the ocean over 50 years ago, which is now being reclaimed.
Speaking
at a news briefing prior to the commencement of the event, the managing
director of LASAA, Mr. George Noah, said the Lagos Countdown Event will be in
the form of that witnessed in major cities of the world like Time Square, New
York and Trafalgar Square, London.
With a maximum of 15,000 participants followed by a specially
created audio midnight countdown and a 20-minute live show anchored from the
rooftop of Avenue Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the countdown, which
includes appearances by top music artists, will showcase display of lights,
music, fireworks, pyrotechnics and lighting effects to signify the commencement
of the New Year at the Eko Atlantic City on December 31 from 8pm.
This maiden edition of the Lagos Countdown is sponsored by GT
Bank, Indomie Noodles, Avenue Suites, DStv, Pepsi, and is powered by Star Lager
Beer.

The biggest nd the richest party,is happening live n calabar.cross river state.tune 2 ur tv.station dstv silverbird,Ait,nta to see the bigest street carnival u can!t beat us.but u can join us.
This is awesome. Great idea!
Nigerians like to copy without thinking.... How can the organisers not know our culture of going to church for the crossover? Stupid people.... So u'd rather encourage drinking and partying till the New Year than gathering at church praying for this Nation. Oshisko... If they had done their homework, they'll know that people party AFTER the church service
Sounds like armed robbers and boko haram wet dream. I hope adequate security is in place
D best place 2 b on 31st 9t is the house of God...n datz whr I'll definitly b....josylicious
Nice concept
this is a very good way of taking pple away from God on a day pple are to pray their ways into the new year, u r expecting pple to come and waste away. what a wast
True . Nigeria needs prayers. Fyne cosmetics
Copy copy! They copied Abuja haha!
Why do you guys make such dumb comments,the crossover party is a novel idea to sell lagos to the world.For the more religious type pastor adeboye and the chief imam of lagos will come live on screen during the prog. to offer their prayers
Linda, I hope you'll be there o..not blogging at midnight while we're all doing the countdown..I wanna kiss you at the stroke of 12 midnight..right on your luscious blogger lips - Tonto's Tattoo
Who exactly are u referring to as dumb here? U must be part of the organisers. U r such a joke....saying Lagos is trying to sell herself to the world. Have the govt succeeded in selling the state to its citizens?
