We have received several calls about the much talked about event tagged old school night coming up on the 21^st of October 2022, as a principal partner in the event we decided to put up a brief guide on shopping tips and of course share some other vital updates about the event.

Dressing up doesn’t mean wearing a suit or fancy dress — it just means being comfortable enough so that you can enjoy yourself at the event. Choose loose clothing that doesn’t restrict movement because there will be dancing involved!  Trust one of our MC’s- First born who will be directing the old school dance train am sure you’ll want something that keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night.

It’s an indoor show and there’s no chance of rain or snow! If you already have a style, this is the time to wear it proudly. If not, now’s the time to experiment with different looks and find what suits you best.

If you are in your 30s: Nothing says “I’m fun” like an outfit that makes people wonder if they should be scared or impressed. This is also a great event for going just a little bit crazy with color and pattern mixing.

In your 40s: Your style at this point should be classic and versatile enough that it will still work 10 years from now — or even past retirement age if that’s how long you plan on rocking out!

What if you want to look fancier than that? then definitely wear shorts (with pockets) And if you want to add some color, throw on a flowy top or dress with a skirt underneath it that covers your butt when you sit down.

Most people get their dress style inspiration from the artists and old films-A look at film like Oleku et al will shed further traditional styles of dress code.

Above all please dress to express yourself in your own way and be ready for fun.

We have 8 MCs to keep you on your toe all through the event.

This is the maiden edition and the next edition by 2023 will be next level.

Tickets will be available at event door and event starts at 7pm on the dot.

Pride makes us artificial, and humility makes us real. According to Thomas Merton.

For those who have met the chubby, handsome Nigerian Canadian Oderinde Qasim Abiola you will agree he is an epitome of humility.

He is a serial entrepreneur who has masterminded a lot of catalysts in the Nigerian entertainment industry and in the diaspora.

Hunter as he is popularly called started show business far back in the late 90’s as one of Nigeria's youngest film marketers in the early stage of Nollywood.

He is a one of the pioneer members of the unique movie producers and marketers’ association of Nigeria.

Hunter, as a promoter, has successfully managed lots of international events in different countries.

He has done lots of successful events in Canada before covid era. They include; Kizz Daniel in Montreal,  boat cruise and  host of Nigeria's ‘A’-list celebrities.

His streak in 2022 has been a huge success. Back-to-back, one would say: the socialite who went on tour during his last vacation to the United Kingdom

, UAR, USA promised Nigerians resident in Canada the summer will

 be fun. True to his words, Hunter TV has changed the narratives in event management and promotions.

He started with the tour that had award winning Nigerian comedians, Kenny black and MC Funny bones around different provinces and cities in Canada. Immediately after that he had a boat cruise tagged club on the sea, and within a month brought Wasiu Alabi Pasuma to Canada.

One amazing trend with this series of events was the support he got from the community and all the events got sold out.

 No doubt Hunter and his team deserved the awards category.

Oderinde Qasim Abiola, the CEO of Hunter TV Africa has proven he is an exceptional promoter and has established himself as a force to reckon with.

The astute Muslim devotee is happily married with kids.

Xphrame Media wishes Hunter and his team the best of years ahead
