Oftentimes,
it is said that there is always a person’s look-alike somewhere in the
world. This saying was proved during the MTNCelebdouble. The competition
was organised by the telecommunication company for their brand
ambassadors to meet people that bore the same resemblance with them.
It was a party filled with fun and
excitement mixed with suspense in Lagos, Benin and Enugu as it was hard
differentiating between most of the musical superstars and their close
splitting images.
This resulted in momentary suspense,
mixed with fun, as the hundreds of musical fans who thronged separate
clubs, to be part of the invasion, struggled to spot the real image. The
fans were thrilled to meet their idolised celebrities and the
‘doubles.’
In Lagos, the party held at the ‘The
Place.’ While the music was on at full blast, Don Jazzy, Iyanya, Tiwa
Savage and Chidinma walked in. The crowd was soon amazed as the striking
resemblances of Davido, Wizkid, Praiz and D’Prince stepped in behind
them. There were minutes of debates if they were the real ambassadors or
the look-alikes they had come to party with. Wizkid’s double, Mbaefo
Stanley, who resides in Port Harcourt, could not hold his joy at the
sight of the celebrities and the pomp around him. He expressed
cheerfully, ‘this is one of my best nights.’
Also, Ogbonna John who resides in Lagos, was ecstatic. He said, ‘I have always dreamed of this moment.’
David Fortune, D’Prince’s double and
Odeka Arthur who looked like the Nigerian R & B singer and Headies
Award winner, Praiz, said they would treasure the night for a long time.
Meanwhile, Iyanya, who wore a new look,
enthusiastically appreciated the large turnout, saying it gave him
satisfaction to party with Nigerian fans and find someone who looked
like him. Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage also expressed the same feeling
while leaving the club located on Adeola Odeku in the early hour of the
morning.
In Benin, the celebdoubles bore an
unbelievable resemblance to the actual celebs themselves. Prior to the
actual party, they had been lodged in a luxury hotel, taken on a
shopping spree and given a high-class spa treatment.
One of the Celebdoubles was
AdeoyeFoyinsade who bears a striking resemblance to Tiwa Savage. She
gushed over the entire privileges accorded her by MTN.
“I really didn’t expect that it would be
this cool. Not only do I look like Tiwa Savage, from the way I have been
treated all day, I think I might be her!”
