Lagos-based socialite, Stephanie Geddes, has added another to her cap. The buoyant entrepreneur is set to expand her business with the opening of yet another bar in a posh part of Lagos.

Forbes-listed billionaire businesswoman, Folorunsho Alakija added another feather to her cap recently when Yaba College of Technology  conferred her with an honourary fellowship award at the institution’s 28th convocation ceremony. An elated and gaily dressed Alakija stormed the venue of the convocation in company with her family and friends who also witnessed the conferment firsthand.

Perhaps owing to her status, she received a lot of attention from her hosts, particularly the students who were more interested in catching a glimpse of her than watching the proceedings.

The turquoise and silver-themed wedding, had in attendance, governors Ibikunle Amosun, Raji Fashola and Emmanuel Uduaghan of Ogun, Lagos and Delta states respectively.

She was a First Lady in Akwa Ibom State. Indeed, she is a lesson in sophistication. In her 50s, the much-admired fashion designer turned television presenter was sighted at a function in Lagos recently. Many a guest marvelled at her carriage which spelt class.

Trim and shapely, the former owner of COLOURS, a fashion outfit, whose premises was  gutted by fire a few years ago, was comported and refined while relating with people who sat around her.

Cecilia Ibru makes showing

The embattled former Managing Director cum Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Bank PLC, Cecilia Ibru, has been away from the social space since the outset of her travails. She was convicted of bank and securities fraud on October 8, 2010 by a former Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Dan Abutu, in Lagos after she was arrested, detained and arraigned in court on a 25-count charge. In addition, she forfeited assets worth billions of naira to the government.

 Handed a six-month prison term, she took a backseat thereafter and ceased to be a social bird. Perhaps in a bid to re-introduce herself into the social circuit, the 67-year-old made a rare appearance at a wedding in Lagos penultimate weekend. Looking refreshed, not a few of the guests were surprised to see her and many only masked their shock by going over to exchange pleasantries with her.

There is no gainsaying that Bisola Clark, the medical practitioner wife of Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark, is blessed with good looks. Perhaps, what many fail to notice is how much she dotes on her husband.

Recently, the couple attended a wedding in Lagos, where she cut the picture of a committed wife.  Not only was she all over him, she was quick to lean towards him whenever the paparazzi focused their lens on them. Meanwhile, Clark savoured the attention coming his way and smiled occasionally.

When penultimate Friday  Microsoft unveiled Aiki Nigeria, an online employability programme, at a cocktail event held at in Lagos, not many expected that the event would provide them an opportunity to have a gainful insight into former Lagos State governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje.

Married to Olorogun Moses Taiga, Yinka used to be very popular on the social scene until many years ago when she ceased to make waves on the social scene. This happened shortly after she was delivered of quadruplets and she relocated abroad.

Still keeping a low profile, she attended Caroline Olaseinde’s 50th birthday party in London and those who saw her attested to her ravishing looks which are still intact.

Legends in the Nigerian entertainment industry gathered at the Intercontinental Hotels, Lagos  last weekend  to pay tribute to the late Lady of Songs, Christy Essien Igbokwe, as her family launched her  11th and final album.

Present at the event were representatives of the governors of Lagos and Akwa Ibom states, plus several VIP personalities.

At the event, which featured dance, drama and a fashion show, Onyeka Onwenu stood out for a certain reason other than the fact that she is a colleague of the deceased.

She came to the event in company with this young man who hovered around her. While he was not dressed to look like a security detail or bodyguard, it was difficult to determine his role and relationship with her. However, the good-looking young man ensured he was not far away from her.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, has an eye for beautiful women. While Olori Ladun seems to be the most famous of his wives, what people may not know is that the stylish monarch has other equally gorgeous wives of which Olori Adedolapo is one.

The petite but pretty woman, who arrived at an event accompanied by her daughter, was the cynosure of eyes. Looking queenly in her attire and matching accessories, she was accorded a reception only befitting her status.

A chip off the old block, Zina Anumudu, like her mother, Nkiru Anumudu, is fast becoming a celebrity in the true sense of the word. While she has begun to ape the latter’s style, she has also carved a niche for herself.

These days, she now steps out in the comfort of her own company unlike what obtained in the earlier days when she chose to attend functions in company with her mother. Since making her debut appearance on the social scene at the Dejonwo/Tokan wedding, there has been no looking back.

She has not always been the party type but at least she maintained a noticeable presence on the social scene, especially when it mattered.  Married to Yemi Cardoso, the chairperson of CITI Bank and a former commissioner in Lagos State, Bimbo, who is the eldest daughter of the late TOS Benson, seems to savour her quietude or how else can one explain her long-standing absence? The mother of triplets, who owns Party Perfect, was last seen at any major groove last year. That was at her daughter’s wedding to Ladi Alakija, son of Forbes-listed Folorunsho Alakija.

This former actress and model may have embarked on a nine-month course preparatory to becoming a mother for the third time.

The mulatto beauty, who is married to multimillionaire businessman, Musa Danjuma, was the host at a party held at her Parkview, Ikoyi home when her husband turned 63 lately. The mother of two boys was attired in a dress that depicted a bulge in her mid-section. This has since prompted insinuation that Caroline, who is at least 25 years younger than her husband, might pay a visit to the labour room in the coming months.

The minority leader in the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, might come across as tough-talking but what many may not know is that he is a family man, who is passionate about his wife, Sal.

A lot of times, he can be found at her eatery in Abuja and at other times, you find them attending functions together. At such events, he is almost never away from her and you can almost touch the camaraderie that exists between the two.

Those who run into the Chairman of Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, will marvel at his ageless looks which belie his age. He is a lesson in healthy living. Nearer to 60 than 50, many are still in awe of his vigorous fit and energy even as a workaholic. Someone very close to him whispered that Stan had always been a teetotaller and abhorred cigarette from his early childhood. For one whose mother trained as a dietician, he eats right and also does exercises.

A soon-to-be grandfather, these days, when he chooses to dress in fitted clothes, it is difficult not to notice his toned abs many his age cannot boast of.

She is one of Nigeria’s brightest event planner and arrowhead of Zapphire Event. A lawyer by training, years, a lot of elites have benefitted from Funke Obruthe’s expertise over the years, yet she remains humble.

She walked into one of the very many events she puts together last week and the master of ceremony, on recognising her, gave her credit for the beautiful decor.

Funke, who evidently abhors taking credit for another person’s ingenuity, was quick to set the records straight. She immediately told the MC the beautiful decor was not her handiwork.

Until he ran into troubled waters, Eric Opia was quite visible on and off the social circuit. A former chairman of the defunct Oil Minerals Producing Areas Development Commission, he went underground when he was alleged to have mismanaged public funds. Married to former tube girl and one-time commissioner for information in Rivers State, Ruth Benamisia-Opia, he showed face at the wedding of his niece in Lagos. Aged but agile, Opia was not in the least reserved as he interacted freely with guests.

The Ogun State born general was one of those who came to pay their last respect at the burial of late Rear Admiral Mike Akhigbe [rtd]. Clad in traditional attire, Diya’s boyish handsomeness was more pronounced than ever. Calm and looking refreshed, he showed no signs of ageing anytime soon.
