VOCAL SLENDER’S GHETTO LOVE PROJECT (VALENTINE EDITION)

The Ghetto Love project is a brainchild of the BBC Welcome to Lagos star, Vocal Slender where he attracts the attention of the public (locally & internationally) to the plight and sufferings of the Ghetto children & youth in Ajegunle slum in Lagos, Nigeria where the one time scavenger was born & bred. 

Vocal Slender uses his influence to appeal to the elites to donate their children used clothes, bags, shoes, toys, books and any other life sustaining items that may be of benefit to the people living in the Ghetto.

The Valentine edition of the project held on the 18th February 2012 at Buraimoh Street in Ajegunle, Lagos having over 250 people in attendance ranging from Children, youths & Adults. All Children at the event ground were fed and various items (clothes, shoes, bags, toys, cups etc) were given out to the children, youths and even adults that were able to find their appropriate sizes.

Loads of Laughter and Fun

Vocal Slender performed his youth motivational song: Ghetto Red Hot.

 The High point of the evening was when a young girl who is a 15 year old JSS 1 orphan of Oshodi Grammar School, Oshodi, Lagos was given a scholarship for her active participation in the project where she volunteered to help children cross the gutter, sorted clothes for easy pick up and served the food.

Gloria Peters

She is Gloria Peters who hails from Kogi State. She was born and bred in Kogi until the demise of her parents when she moved to stay with her aunt in Ajegunle, Lagos leaving back her 4 younger siblings hoping that one day she will be successful in Lagos and have enough to take care of them in future.

Gloria was not privileged to have Primary school education like her peers as she was busy supporting her mother in the market to make ends meet for the family. Her current school had no choice but to accept her to join JSS1 class and then observe over time her level of comprehension & performance in the class.

Vocal Slender is committed to supporting young Gloria achieve her dream of studying Arts in the University and he promised her in front of the people of Ajegunle to do everything in his capacity to attract well meaning people all over the world to the plight of Gloria and other Ajegunle children that desire to get educated. Vocal Slender desires to move Gloria to a private school where she can get the best of education so as to catch up with her peers.

Hailed as the First Lady of Afrobeats, UK-based Nigerian singer, songwriter and dancer May7ven is only the second Afrobeats artist after D'banj to be A-Listed on UK mainstream radio with her ladies anthem "Ten Ten" - a mean feat even for some urban UK records, talk less of an Afrobeats record.

Securing multiple awards, endorsements and national tours under her belt, May7ven has hit massive milestones with her music, including performing for the president of Nigeria in 2010. Going forward, May7ven is now destined for greater stardom.

May7ven is a major part of the new wave of Afrobeats music that is about to hit UK and the global music market. There is nothing conventional about May7ven who is is poised to set the global music landscape on fire. Complete with her trend setting looks, brilliant white hair, style, energy, dance skills and most importantly killer vocals, London’s The Evening Standard recently described her as the “African Beyonce”.
