Silverbird’s 30th Anniversary concert, which held at the Expo Hall of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island Lagos on Saturday November 6, 2010 was an overwhelming night that will not be forgotten in a long time from now.
The Silverbird head-honcho Mr. Ben Murray Bruce engaged and committed Mr President in a passionate speech that gave many goose pimples and got the VIP audience on their feet in full ovation
‘’I want you to recognize the entertainment industry, you said you will never let them down, let the young kid go to the bank and borrow a million or two to make a record or make a movie, support the entertainers, if you support them, they’ll vote for you’, Murray-Bruce charged President Jonathan.
And Mr Jonathan, who is hoping to secure his party’s presidential ticket in next year’s general elections, responded: ‘Nollywood is getting set to take over the world, I recognize the entertainment in the Nigerian economy, this government will support an industry that makes Nigerians happy. I gave them direct order to make sure entertainers have $200million worth of loan to work with. Make more movies, write and produce more hit songs, provide jobs and give hope to our people’ he promised while kokomaster D’banj cheered him on, chanting (‘Jona Jona, Goodluck Jona) at every quick interval of Mr. Presidents’ Speech.
