TiC storms Nigeria with Ghana Independence Day Party
One of Africa’s finest music exports, TiC, known in private life as Nana Kweku Okyere Duah, will storm Nigeria on March 8, 2025.
The music legend is storming there with the Ghana Independence Day Party in Lagos, Nigeria.
The event, which is expected to take place at Lounge 38 in Lagos, will see some Ghanaian musicians like Nero X, Samuel G and 1st Born team up with TiC for an unforgettable time.
Ghana’s DJ Toyor and Nigeria’s legendary disc Jockey, DJ Humility, will be behind the turntables to rock the patrons.
Revealing the rationale behind this, TiC, said the event, which is aimed at becoming an annual ritual, is expected to strengthen the bilateral relations with Nigeria in the area of music.
According to him, he envisaged this many years ago and the need for such programmes to harness the mutual relationship between the two countries,
He said, “Think about it; after all the talk in Ghana that we support Nigerian music, but they don’t reciprocate, we have not aggressively pushed the boundaries to even hold an Independence Day events there.”
According to him, Nigerians love Ghana music, however, it behoves Ghanaians to aggressively push their music to their market, adding that his move is one of them.
“Just check the number of Ghanaians there and Nigerians who love our music,” he quizzed.
“Now, the stage is set for a new dawn, and I have set the ball rolling,”he added.
He urged other stakeholders to get on board to embark on a historic journey which would go a long way to pave the way for Ghana music in Nigeria.
TiC over the years has held the flag of Ghana high beyond the borders of the country, making strong statements with the sound.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
