The 9^th edition of the “Yaw Live on Stage” series tagged #APERE is happening this Sunday

May 28 at Eko Hotels Convention Centre and it’s got the whole of Lagos talking. In case you are still not sure if the hype is worth it, here are 6 reasons why you shouldn’t miss out on the biggest comedy show of the year;

 

Yaw’s unique Stage Play plot

Over the years, we have seen Yaw transform from being just a funny OAP and TV actor into a professional comedian and stage play actor. From the first edition of “Yaw Live on Stage” series, there has been a noticeable difference in his flair. His antics and delivery have become funnier and more relatable and you wouldn’t want to miss out on what he has planned out this year.

Sound Sultan in a never-before-seen fashion

The APERE buzz has gone beyond the shores of Nigeria and Sound Sultan’s feature in the stage play has raised some eyebrows but reports have revealed otherwise. It is being said that musician and actor Sound Sultan will bring something exceptional to the APERE experience. Rumour has it that after APERE, he might delve into fulltime acting.

A long list of fun-packed performances

Last year at the 8^th edition of the “Yaw Live on Stage” series ‘Shalanga’, we witnessed an unusually long eclectic list of top Nigerian musical acts such as Olamide, Burna Boy, Reminisce, Falz, Korede Bello, Patoranking, Timaya, Adekunle Gold, CDQ, Solid Star, YCEE, Seyi Shay and many others  who delivered exhilarating performances at the show.  The show also witnessed some of the most celebrated A-list comedians grace the stage to throw the audience into gales of laughter.

This year promises to be way better; more music artistes and the top guns of the comedy industry have been lined up to perform and of course you wouldn’t want to miss the highlight of the evening the stage play titled “APERE” featuring Yaw and Sound Sultan.

Another nostalgic journey down memory lane

Ask those who were present for Shalanga, they’ll tell you how much they enjoyed reminiscing on their favorite pastimes. Hilarious clips from cartoon shows like Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, SuperTed were displayed on a huge screen and they had the audience cheering and reliving old memories.

The APERE experience is not going to be any different this year. Inside sources reveal a lot more throwback videos of shows and TV series from the 80’s and 90’s have been gathered to entertain and prickle guests with feelings of nostalgia. There’s nothing better than a good old fashioned journey through a memory lane.

Perfect get-away from the harsh reality of Nigeria’s current economic state

It’s no news that Nigeria has been going through a tough economic situation for a while now. The environment is even harsher than it was last year when the previous edition of Yaw’s stage play series ‘Shalanga’ was held. However, APERE offers the perfect get-away from the current situation of the country as one of the major themes of the upcoming show is satirical humor, which is not only relatively relatable, but also gives the audience a less embittering view of the country’s current state .

Moreover, Yaw’s stage plays are quite known for touching several thought-provoking topics in Nigeria, including political matters, industry feuds, trending social media topics, among others, effortlessly evoking humor from every scene.

Surprise / Rare Guest performances

One thing that’s guaranteed fans will witness at APERE is a number of surprise guest appearances and performances by totally unexpected artistes. Shalanga saw some of the rarest performances from artists who were popular in their prime but have remained low in today’s mainstream music, including popular reggae artist Baba Fryo, Danfo Drivers amongst others. APERE won’t be any short of this as inside sources report more singers in this category have been reached to thrill the audience with their rare performance(s).

Fans who grew up in the 80’s & 90’s will definitely enjoy every minute of this rare feat.

 

With all of these being said; APERE will be another remarkable event in the history of stage play as we know it in Nigeria. Several elements are infused into the upcoming stage play, which will not only serve as an eye-opener on various intricate matters but also serve as an avenue for attendees to introspect, considering the morality of we Nigerians is heavily addressed.

Woman Marries Train Station She’s Loved For 36 years, Says It Loves Her Too

A 45-year-old woman has married a train station she has been in love with since she was 9-years-old. Carol Santa Fe, claims she is so in love with the Santa Fe train station in California – has been for36 years – and that they have sex mentally. She even changed her last name to the name of the train station.
Carol is a volunteer support worker from San Diego. Every day, she takes a 45-minute bus ride to the station to spend time with the building, which she calls Daidra. Carol’s marriage to the train station isn’t legally binding but that singular fact did not dampen her wedding day as she said it was the happiest day of their lives. The wedding held in 2015 and last Christmas she celebrated the one year. Anniversary.

Carol identifies herself as an objectum sexual – a person who is sexually attracted to inanimate objects and structures. She did not discover there was a name for her kind of attraction until she searched online, typing the search words; “I am in love with a building.”

Carol said: “I am married to the Santa Fe train station – her name is Daidra. We didn’t start a relationship until 2011 but I had been in love with the station since I was a young girl. When we got married, I stood there and I told her that I take it as my partner. It was the happiest day of our lives. I take a 445-minutebus ride every night to see the station.”
Carol can sometimes be seen touching a part of the station and leaning against it while talking to it.  During this time, she gets to have mental sex with the station and gets turned on when she hears the train engines rev.

She added: “There is a private bit where two walls meet, I go there to touch her, which I do by leaning against her with my clothes on. When I’m touching her, I feel as though it actually holds me and kisses me. I don’t have physical sex with the station in public, I want to be respectful. I wouldn’t do that with a human in public so why would I do it in this case. I do have sex with Daidra in my mind when I stand there. I especially like when I hear the trains rev up their engines – it turns me on.”

Carol has only been in love with a real human once in her life and their relationship lasted for 18 months but after it broke up, she concentrated on dating the train station knowing it would never leave her.

Carol added: “I love her so much, she is so romantic. We first consummated our love a few years ago when I felt the wall behind me, and I felt this energy. I came close to an orgasm and I was scared I’d get caught by the station staff. I don’t ever want the security guards to find out – I am a closeted objectum sexual. But I only hide my sexual attraction to the station because I simply don’t want people to find out and ban me from seeing her. It’s not at all because I am ashamed. Erica Eiffel got banned from the Eiffel Tower for kissing it and straddling it – so I don’t want to get banned like she did. I don’t like to publicly show anything between me and Daidra as I have more respect than that.”

The Erica Eiffel she is referring to is another woman called Erica who is also an objectum sexual and married the Eiffel Tower in 2007. Another well-known objectum sexual is Eklöf Berliner-Mauer, who married the Berlin wall in 1979 and is believed to be the first person to claim they had such an attraction.

Carol has tried defending her sexuality and others like her, saying Objectum sexuality is not a mental illness but as normal as being lesbian or bisexual and what they feel is real. She said she chats with the train station about her day and it listens. She could never love another train station, according to her, so for that reason, she’s never leaving San Diego.
