Lagos, the center of culture, dialogue, and live entertainment came alive again on August 30th when The Forum by O’jez made its highly anticipated monthly return.

Headlining the discussions at the cultural gathering were two distinguished personalities: celebrated architect and showbiz visionary Theo Lawson, and Afrobeat royalty Yeni Kuti, who is also widely recognized as a voice for positive change.

The duo was recognized for their contributions to society and led engaging conversations that bridge tradition with contemporary realities, underscoring the transformative role of the arts in society.

While foremost journalist, Nkarenyi Ukonu read both Ms Yeni and Mr Lawson’s citations, veteran Nollywood actor, moderated the conversation.

To provide entertainment, live performances from Labule, Elewure, and the Classic Band, delivered the right dose of vibrant musical experience that honors Afrobeat’s rich legacy while embracing its modern evolution.

The event which took place at the O’jez Sports Lounge, National Stadium, Surulere, brought together notable figures and thrilling performances in an evening that was designed to celebrate heritage, inspire conversation, and showcase music at its finest.

Beyond entertainment, The Forum by O’jez has steadily evolved into a movement, one that not only celebrates Nigerian heritage but also fosters meaningful dialogue and inspires new possibilities for the country’s creative industry.
