The organisers of the Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards have announced that the Wife of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Oluremi Hamzat, will lead a distinguished line-up of political figures and Nollywood veterans to a special public reading.

The event, which holds at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, December 2, will feature the reading of Tomi Falade’s book, a play titled ‘Olobun: Matriarch Of Ondo, Mother Of Legacy’.

Mrs. Hamzat will be joined by the State Secretary to the Government, Mrs. Hundeyin; the Deputy Speaker of LAHA, Hon. Moji Meranda Ojora; the Commissioner for Tourism, Mrs. Toke Benson Awoyinka; and the SA Housing, Hon. Barakat Bakare.

Adding creative star power, they will be accompanied by former BON Awards winners, including Omowunmi Dada, Keppy Ekpeyoung, Segun Arinze, and Stan Eze.

Olobun is a compelling historical play by Tomi Falade that explores the dramatic origins of a major Yoruba Kingdom, and is predominantly set during the tumultuous 15th-century Oyo Empire.

The story revolves around the birth of twins to Alaafin Oluaso, the abolition of killing twin babies, and how a woman rose to a place of power in Yoruba Land.

Ultimately, the book serves as a journalistic and dramatic account of the journey that culminates in the founding of the great Ondo Kingdom, presenting the character Olobun as the living proof of a powerful legacy born from destiny.

Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, has once again taken centre stage in grand style, collaborating with Africa’s biggest Afrobeats artiste, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, on the Nigeria leg of his 5ive Tour. The Tour, which hit its 4th city on November 9, 2025, has recorded over 80,000 attendees so far.

Davido kicked off the 5ive tour earlier in 2025, commemorating the release of his 5th studio album, 5ive, with a world tour that covered numerous cities across the globe. The 5ive tour, a massive success since its launch, took over global headlines on October 14, 2025, when Davido announced that he would be bringing the tour back home to Nigeria where it all started, collaborating with none other than his longtime financial partner and banking family, Wema Bank.

Unsurprisingly, Wema Bank rose to the occasion in grand style, dominating the Nigerian leg of the 5ive tour across 4 locations so far: Uyo, Yola, Enugu, and most recently, Ibadan. These 4 locations have covered all 4 regions of the country, demonstrating an intentional sense of diversity and inclusion. The Bank, in its usual standard of raising the bar, brought a new wave of glamour, sophistication and excitement that shook the industry, resulting in what has become the biggest studio tour in Africa, brought to you by Wema Bank.

From providing its customers with exclusive access to experience the tour as regular or VIP guests to giving out high-quality trendy Davido 5ive tour merch that every Nigerian couldn’t wait to rock with pride, Wema Bank took the nation by storm as major sponsor of the 5ive Tour. With commendation and kudos trooping in from Nigerians across the globe, Wema Bank has undoubtedly won the hearts of millions, cementing its reputation as the innovative youth-centric bank that remains in touch with the needs and lifestyles of its customers.

A dynamically synergic duo, Wema Bank and Davido have executed what is arguably the biggest finance-entertainment collaboration, totally redefining what it means for banking to seamlessly integrate with lifestyle as needs continue to evolve.

All anticipation now builds up to December 14, 2025, when Wema Bank will once again take the 5ive tour to Nigerians right here in Nigeria; this time in the capital city of Abuja. Anyone interested in getting a free ticket or getting access to the highly sought after Davido 5ive Tour merch is encouraged to follow @wemabank on Instagram, X and Facebook to stay tuned as the #Wema5iveAliveTour continues to unfold.
