Comedian and On Air Personality, Emeka Erem, aka Ajebo, recently flagged off his comedy and music concert, ‘Ajebo Unleashed’ at the University of Abuja.According to him, the thrust of the concert is not just to give back to his teeming fans, but also to inspire students across Nigeria to stay off drugs.

“With the success of this event, we hope to replicate same in campuses across Nigeria. We will kick off with the #DontDoDrugs campaign; no matter how much has been said, we will not stop talking about it. Drugs kill. As an entertainer, I can stand here today to tell you that I didn’t need to take any performance enhancing drug to perform on stage,” he said.

The second campaign, #SurviveOnCreativity is geared towards letting Nigerian youths know that their future is in their hands. The idea is to urge them to survive on their God given talents by building an entrepreneurial mindset even while on campus.

“We are trying to also push the message of entrepreneurship. We cannot protest, we cannot fight, and we cannot take up arms. What we have is entertainment and that is what we are using to talk to the youths of this country”.

Ajebo added that a cash prize of N100,000 to one lucky person who makes a one minute video of how they break the boredom on campus and tag his Instagram handle, @ajebodcomedian using the hashtag, #minimiechichinbreaktheboredomchalleng. Also, cash prizes will be given to three lucky people in an open mic session at the show.

The campus tour will berth at the Nasarawa State University, then to Babcock University, University of Lagos, Lead City and stops at University of Benin on 6th of April.
Among comedians expected at the tour are Seyi Law, Akpororo, Elenu, Acapella, Pencil, Kenny Blaq, MC Shakara, Kilnt de Drunk, Osama, Ambassador Wahala, Chucks de General, while MI, Skales, MCGalaxy, Reekado Banks will provide music.
