After May’s debacle, Lauryn Hill finally performed in Lagos. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, however.
The opening acts weren’t any good.

"I don't want to bore you guys", said the musician who had just bored us. #LaurynHillInLagos

This live music of a thing is not for all. Sometime milli vanilli is best.

The concert brought back some Koko Concert PTSD

The most Epic show (on Twitter) was that one that D'banj made people trek. The banter was priceless.

And she was late as usual
Simple ten hours your cannot wait for Ms Lauryn Hill, as if we didn't wait for half a decade to get her touring again.

Lauryn is Yahoo plus, she just uses a Mic rather than a laptop…

But it was worth it
Hands down, Lauryn Hill's performance tonight is the best I've ever seen in Lagos.

Use "empirical evidence." Show me any "Lauryn Hill was a waste of time" tweets.
