PHOTO OF THE DAY: KOKO TREKKERS AS SUGGESTED TO D'BANJ

Where do I start from? Ok, lemme put it this way. Those who attended D'banj's Koko Concert last night recounted tales of how they walked many kilometres from the event venue as there was no vehicle to transport them to their destinations.blah blah blah. You can go through the hashtag #kokoconcert on twitter to learn more about the "Exodus".

Now one "unhappy" Nigerian who apparently hasn't recovered from the experience is suggesting this brand new business idea to D'banj "Koko trekkers". Afterall we have Koko Garri and Koko Mobile. This might not be a bad idea.lol
