Bebeto Buries Mum, Celebrates Dad’s 20 Years Remembrance
Bebeto is an ex-footballer and a well-known and respected music promoter on both local and international scenes. This explains why top celebrities from within and beyond the shores of Nigeria stormed the party in their numbers.
It was a gathering of the crème de la crème in the society. Trust Bebeto, as an excellent host that he is, he made sure everything was in place.
From the choice of venue, decorations, and catering to the entertainment of guests, everything about the party exuded class, glamour and quality taste that Bebeto represents.
Afro Juju crooner, Sir Shina Peters was on bandstand. He really gave a good account of himself with his electrifying performance. Let me add that, Shina Peters’ stage craftsmanship is still intact.

In fact, to say the party was a well-planned one would be an understatement. All to eat and to drink were made available abundantly.
Meanwhile, other highlights of the party, apart from Sir Shina Peters’s electrifying performance, were the incredible displays from the Yoruba Akewi and David Abraham’s Xplicit Dancers Crew. They all held the guests spellbound while their performances lasted.
