There is a lot happening from the planning that reflected poorly on the event.
1. They initially locked the gate from allowing sensible people go in. At about 11am, they opened the gate down and everybody began to roll in which is a good thing but there should be space for movement which wasn’t available. Why? All the security that should have been spread within the pavillion to encourage people to keep moving were all packed at the entrance of the VIP. Why?
1b. This year got so many sponsorship deals to the point that there was no space for people to move or catch their breath. They even had people monitoring people showcasing their ads and asking those they don’t know to leave the premises forgetting that a brand can have 3other sub-products.
You can enforce sponsorship ads but you cant have a team go round to check if things are going on well?
2. The Red artificial pitch they used was wrong! They should have known the colors that are not heat and sun friendly. Black and red are not good colors for this weather and it merged with the body heat people were producing that caused issues of people passing out. It also distorts photos and video colors.
3. There were no adequate medical emergency plans. No visible sight of medical ambulances within and outside because everywhere was blocked with sponsorship and cars parked with escorts.
4. There should have been at least a team of at least 100 medical and paramedicsl staff but I’m not sure they had that. There should have been a road or two that is cleared of anything at all in case of emergencies and in the case “ambulances” needed to get to the hospital very quickly.
How can it take you 1hr to walk from Mobile filling station to the pavilion? A 5-10minutes journey? They packed all the security at Ita-Oba and the traffic was so hooked that it got to Lagos garage at some point now imagine if there were serious emergency cases? And this is to tell you that over 40people passed out even someone from the Oreagba family passed out.
5. There should have been no cars parked in the pavilion but some “Dignitaries” came in with their vehicles parking over 10 SUVs inside and burning fuel. They could have parked in the kings palace. Same with Arise and TVC that came to live stream, they could have parked in the kings palace and leave that corridor to create more space.
Finally, WATER WAS AN ISSUE! Any event that has Issues with sufficient and enough water should be questioned.
Horse riders issues are on another level! Any-day i have the strength, I’ll come and talk about them.
Attached is an image of people trying to fan someone who passed out. I sha know say this thing wey i write, them go soon call me.
