Photos: Wyclef Jean stormed Sahara Group end of year party

Members of staff of Sahara Group, their families and friends were thrilled to the bone on Sunday when the Haitian hip hop recording artiste, Wyclef Jean appeared from the aisle and sang his way to the stage of the Banquet Hall of Oriental Hotel in Lagos.

In what appeared like a prank, the Master of Ceremony, Bovi had apologized that Wyclef could not make the event as part of the surprises and played a video in which Wyclef apologized and wished every staff a merry Christmas; then he showed up and the audience was awe-struck.

The event was Sahara Group end of the year party and it was breathtaking. Everybody was in Cowboy costumes. The ambience looked like a ranch with horses and grass to depict the mood. The event kicked off with cocktail during which some members of staff were trying their skills on horse riding.

Conceptualized and executed by Cruise Events, a leading event management company in Nigeria, the Sahara Wild West Party was anchored by Bovi and featured performances by Abiodun Koya a US based Oprah Singer, Orlando Julius,…

Judging by the experience of audience at the event, it is obvious that the fun will last in the memory till the next on in 2015.

Before the main party was a cocktail party, country music was playing, staff were having fun, introducing their families to one another, and some staff were riding a horse trying out their skills at horse riding. The ambience was what you would describe as excellent.

The main event commenced in earnest with performances by Abiodun Koya, a US based Oprah Singer who later performed with Orlando Julius. There was humour awards where the most appealing male and female staff, Best dressed male and female, lone ranger, Efiko and best team awards were given to different winners

Bovi later explained that the organisers had planned to surprise the audience with Wyclef Jean but unfortunately could not make it. The video of Wyclef apology was shown and from nowhere, the Haitian hip hop recording artiste showed up and the hall was immediately electrified.
