Why I Performed In NYSC Uniform At Olamide's Concert- LAX

 

    Singer, Damilola Afolabi, aka LAX, was berated by his fans and other internet users after he performed at Olamide’s concert in December in an outfit that looked like a National Youth Service Corps uniform.

   In his reaction to the outrage of his fans, LAX explains why he decided to dress in such manner to the event that had a large turn-up at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos. He said:

  “I had just completed my National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, programme at the time, and I wanted to pay homage to the scheme and Nigeria in my own way. I also wanted to inspire people to know that they can pursue their dreams and still go to school. It is not too good that people always like to dwell on the negatives when reacting to issues. I really didn’t pay attention to anybody who criticised me, and that’s because the people who appreciated and commended me were more. Those were the ones that I paid attention to,”
