Afronation wasn’t created in 2013, as it says in the first paragraph. The festival’s first edition took place in 2019

[edit]

In fact, when the article says “years active” it clearly states “2019-present, and “inaugurated August 1. 2019”. Also, the portuguese first edition, in 2019, was entirely produced by the company Afronation Portugal, Lda., fully owned by Sociedade Lusa de Espectáculos, Lda., which has a 5 year licensing deal with Afro Nation Uk (starting in 2019). Afro Nation Uk has Obi Asika and Smade as directors. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that they both founded the festival without mentioning the above co-founders. I preferred to start this discussion instead of editing right away to avoid conflict. I’d like to hear your most welcome thoughts on this. Afn76 (talk) 17:29, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed that in the initial version of this page, which was started by you, you stated that the festival was founded in August 1, 2019. However, you don’t seem to have a problem when now it says that the festival was founded in 2013, even though it’s clearly wrong. Can you please commment on this topic and the remaining of the information I provided? Thanks! Afn76 (talk) 08:06, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The founder Obi Asika is not the one linked

[edit]

The co-founder of Afro Nation festival named Obi Asika is not the one linked. Wikipedia is linking to a 54 year old nigerian called Obi Asika indeed. But if you go to that person’s Wikipedia page it does not mention that he founded Afro Nation. That’s because it’s not the same person although they share the same name. The person named Obi Asika who co-founded the Afro Nation festival is the CEO of Event Horizon Entertainment and Afro Nation Uk Limited, and he’s in fact younger than the other one.

That error wasn't made by me, I known it was created by another Obi Asika. Afí-afeti (talk) 05:42, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thanks for aknowledging that. I noticed that you also contributed to the page of Asa Asika. That’s how I realized you knew the difference between both Obi Asikas. Afn76 (talk) 08:02, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
