It was an event filled with drama when #BB13
was held in UI Zoo Exhibition hall on 23rd April 2016. But unlike
the first edition held in April 2015, where Prestige won both written and
performance stage, there was a twist: The Winner of the written stage was
knocked out in the first round. And then it became a chase amidst the poets who
ended up taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions in
the slam as they filled that position all through the stages. The final stage
was however a close call as only decimal points separated the top 5 poets. Yet,
everyone knows Ajijola Da’Beloved fired on all cylinders as he came out tops in
all stages of the performances.
Speaking after the event, the former #BB Slam
champion who was also on the judging panel, Ifeanyi Prestige said “The Poets that
participated in the just concluded BB13 Slam were awesome on stage. They have
all got confidence required to convey messages with their voices and gestures.”
On BB Slam II Winner Prestige said, “…Unlike some other Slam poets who have
just good content and messages, Ajijola Beloved was well articulated in his
delivery. His words were clear and distinct; he has good diction, nice flow and
remarkable stage presence. This helped him maintain a strong link with the
audience…”
Another judge, Iquo DianaAbasi Eke also had
words about Beloved; she said “…his performance was as powerful as his words.
His facial expression and gestures were hammer with which nailed the message of
his words home. Refreshing talent, he is…” On the first runner up Iquo said
“Fr33zin Paul is also quite talented. He is a pure delight to listen to.”
