why odumodublvck's greatest school tour needs to hit the north

Source: amped

If this tour is truly for the culture, it can’t skip the North.

Odumodublvck isn’t just touring—he’s building a movement. With The Greatest School Tour Ever, he’s not only bringing Okporoko music to campuses across Nigeria, he’s reviving the lost art of homegrown touring. At a time when most top-tier artists are focused on overseas arenas, Odumodu is choosing to engage his fans on the ground—no buffer, no filter.

But there’s one thing that still needs to happen: this tour must go North.

We’re talking Jos, Kaduna, Minna, Maiduguri, Bauchi, and other Northern Nigerian campuses. Because if the goal is true national connection, cultural impact, and music ecosystem growth, The Greatest School Tour cannot be complete without the North.

Here’s why:

1. The North is an Untapped Goldmine of Talent

Jos gave us M.I Abaga, Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, Ruby Gyang, and more. Zaria has raised some of the fiercest underground poets. Kaduna has a bubbling alternative scene and a strong spoken word tradition. There are thousands of young students in the North making music, writing bars, producing beats in hostels, and dreaming with no spotlight.

When tours skip these regions, these dreams often fade.

But when artists like Odumodublvck show up, the message becomes clear: you’re seen.

This isn’t just performance. It’s validation.

2. Northern Audiences Are Hungry

From Kaduna Polytechnic to UNIJOS, there’s an energy waiting to be tapped. These students stream, share, argue about rap online, and wear merch with pride. But they rarely get live shows from their favorite stars. Odumodu’s sound already resonates in these areas—so imagine the kind of wildfire that would ignite if he brought the experience live.

This is how you build die-hard fanbases. Not passive listeners—active supporters.

3. It Creates Economic and Cultural Value

When a tour hits a northern campus, it does more than fill a hall—it activates the local economy. From vendors and fashion designers to DJs, dancers, hype men, and local openers, everyone wins. It creates a ripple effect:

More event planners step up

Local press covers it

Students document it online

Brands start paying attention

And culturally, it builds respect. It bridges the North-South gap in music experience. It gives students from different regions shared memories and stories.

4. It Sets a Precedent for Other Artists

Odumodublvck is a trendsetter. If he takes this tour to Jos or Gombe, it won’t just be a tour stop—it’ll be a statement. It will challenge other artists and management teams to rethink what’s possible. It will prove that the North isn’t “too far” or “too hard”—it’s just been too ignored.

5. It Builds the Community the Culture Needs

Nigeria’s music ecosystem is fast-paced, viral, and global. But without on-ground community building, the culture becomes hollow. Odumodublvck’s decision to perform in schools is revolutionary because it touches real people. Expanding this movement to the North creates something that’s bigger than music:

It builds connection.

It sparks collaboration.

It grows influence in unexpected places.

A Call to Action

Odumodublvck has the cultural capital to lead this charge. He’s not just rapping for Abuja or Lagos—he’s speaking the language of the streets, of the underrepresented, of those who feel like outsiders. That message belongs in the lecture halls of BUK, the open fields of UNIJOS, and the community centers of Kaduna.

The Greatest School Tour Ever shouldn’t be a Southern experience.

It should be a Nigerian one.

So to Odumodublvck, management, and all stakeholders:

Take the tour North.

The fans are waiting. The culture needs it. The next generation is watching.
