Prim and proper, Keke is the granddaughter of General Adeyinka Adebayo (rtd). Her father, Niyi Adebayo, was the former governor of Ekiti State and her fame gained ground during his tenure.

Pretty like her mum, Erelu Angela Adebayo, Keke, for many years now, has dropped out of circulation. Gone are the days when she lit up party arenas with her presence. Sometime ago, unconfirmed talks had it that she was in a relationship with another elite figure. There were even more speculations that they were billed for the altar until they both charted different directions.

This Forbes-listed business mogul is a busy man in the true sense of the word. He operates such a hectic schedule that leaves him with little or no private time. In spite of this, he still manages to make out time to honour his friends, especially those that mean the world to him.

Two weekends ago, he was in London to attend Jim Ovia’s daughter’s wedding. Last weekend, his destination was Miami, where he attended the wedding of Deji Adeleke’s daughter, Sharon who wedded Yomi Ademefun. Interestingly, Dangote ensures he attends every major celebration hosed by Deji Adeleke. He was at Davido’s album launch, attended Sharon’s engagement party in Lagos and still flew to America to witness the wedding proper. Indeed, he has proved to be a friend at all times.

This beautiful mother of one, until a few years ago, was always in the news and she made the cover of many tabloids. This could be tied to her charming personality.  In her 40s and a go-getter, many will testify to her beauty and more will bear witness   to her brilliance.

Little wonder, Funmi bestrode the telecommunications industry and like the colossus that she is, she achieved a similar feat in the banking industry where she plied her trade with a well-liked brand. Her far-reaching reputation was one that found its way into the social circuit and it was not unusual to see her grace red carpet events even though lately, she seems to have slowed down a bit.

Funmi who has a thing for cars got many people thinking when she put up a picture of an Aston Martin on her Facebook page.

The young man easily tops the list of eligible bachelors in town. Unlike many in his league, Toke has displayed a maturity many long for. Little wonder, he spends minimal time partying and is rarely found in hangouts patronised by his ilk.

The only daughter of Ben Murray-Bruce, Jasmine has a good head on her shoulders and acts so. In her 20s, she owns a spa in Lagos and is a graduate of Chapman University in Orange County, USA, where she bagged a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication.

When she initially returned to Nigeria, her popularity soared so much that no hip event in Lagos was without her presence. She formed part of the elite crowd and received invites to almost every event put together by her ilk.

Once rumoured to be in a relationship with a popular hip hop artiste, Jasmine, who is the toast of the opposite sex, has constantly kept details of her love life close to her chest. Although she has been sighted in public in company with male friends, no one can tell which of them has wormed his way into her heart.

The Asiwaju of Ile-Ife as he is fondly addressed by admirers has suddenly dropped out of circulation. Gone are the days when he showed up at celebrations hosted by his ilk.

A few years ago when socialite, Eyimofe Atake, took leave of the social scene, not a few persons thought it was a brief hiatus. More than three years after,  the 55-year-old lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria is yet to make a return alongside his very pretty wife, Dorothy, who has also been missing in action.

Before now, the couplewere regulars at functions worth their salt. Not only were they celebrated for their endearing charisma, Eyimofe’s dress sense was considered second to none and most times, he outclassed his hosts.  He earned a reputation of always raising the style stakes.

While no reasons were tendered for his long absence from the social milieu, we had the good fortune of running into him on a recent flight from Asaba to Lagos. As expected, he exhibited a high knowledge of modern trends as he was garbed in the very latest attire that stood him out.
