One of society’s matriarchs, Grace Egbagbe, is back from her long hiatus during which she was away, from the social arena. The mother of two, who was a former director at Nigerian Television Authority, went low profile for many months. Her conspicuous absence at gigs hosted by her ilk did not go unnoticed.

Last weekend, she attended a beauty pageant organised by Tony Ezenna’s Orange Drugs Limited, where she played a major role. She appeared to have trimmed down and looked younger than her age.

The image maker of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, you can never fault her dress sense.

Once a news editor/presenter at the Nigerian Television Authority, Minna, she moved over to Peugeot Automobile Company, where she was the image maker, before berthing at the maritime organisation.

Recently spotted at an awards ceremony in Lagos, she was the cynosure of all eyes. Dressed in a black/gold Kaftan, she completed the look with her usual turban.

With glowing skin, Tumaka, who is a designer label-bag freak, looked younger than her grandma status.Not a few wondered what her beauty secrets are.

Former minority leader in the Delta State House of Assembly, Princess Pat Ajudua, is not a stranger to the limelight. Long before she ventured into politics, she was popular on account of her husband, Fred Ajudua’s infamous lifestyle. Fred is currently standing trial for alleged fraud and is remanded at Kirikiri Maximum Prison.

Surprisingly, Princess was at the Vanguard newspapers’ Personality of The Year Award which held in Lagos. She almost went unnoticed, save for a few who recognised her.

Married to former governor Lucky Igbinedion, Eki Igbinedion was the First Lady of Edo State and the founder of Idia Renaissance. During her husband’s eight year tenure in office, her fame was not in doubt. She was a regular at official and unofficial functions within and outside the state.

Many years after the expiration of the former’s tenure as the number one citizen of Edo State, mum has been the word from his wife. Gone are the days when news about her made the media rounds.

He is one of the wave-making elites in Abuja and Lagos. He made the headlines when his marriage to one of the daughters of Dr.Newton Jibunoh crashed irretrievably, soon after it was contracted. Although he has since remarried, he seemed to have adopted a low profile, contrary to what obtained in the past. These days, the trend appears to have been reversed. Already, this jolly good fellow has been sighted at a few functions.

It is a known fact that Ilorin, Kwara State-born Hajia Bola Shagaya’s wields influence in the corridors of power. A close friend of Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, the duo is like two peas in a pod. Anyone who ever doubted this chummy relationship only needed to have been at the wedding hosted by the First Family last weekend in Bayelsa State.

Shagaya, who was a fulcrum of support, was seen dishing out orders and seeing to guests needs. Already, there are unconfirmed talks that her eldest son, Sherriff Shagaya, is set to embrace politics in their home state.

Wura is one of the daughters of the late M.K.O Abiola and his equally deceased wife, Simbiat. A thoroughbred silver spoon, Wura, like her brother, Kola Abiola, is not known to attend parties at the drop of a hat. In fact, their appearances at gigs are far and in between.

Wura, who rarely steps out, made yet another exception to the rule when she attended a reception hosted by the Group Managing Director/CEO of United Bank for Africa, Phillip Oduoza and his wife, Jumai.

Though not a regular reveller, the lady who bears a striking resemblance to her father was at home with other guests.

Moses Taiga backs off

Until a few years ago when he and his wife, Yinka Taiga, suddenly dropped out of circulation, the duo usually made the list of socialites in Lagos.

A successful business executive, Olorogun Moses Taiga went low profile soon after his wife was delivered of a set of quadruplets and she promptly relocated abroad. Also, his involvement in a long-drawn court battle could have contributed to his decision to withdraw from social activities.

Years after, he and his wife are yet to regain their pride of place on the social scene. Although a few months ago, she was said to have been in town to host the funeral of her parent and that was it.

Former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Ann Suinner-Lawoyin, rose to prominence over 10 years ago when she replaced Agbani Darego as MBGN.

Then, an undergraduate at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State, she stood out on account of her lovely looks characterised by her dark skin and slim silhouette.

Many years after she got married, Anne is nothing like what she looked like years ago. A recent picture of her showed that her once-upon-a-time slim frame has given way to a chubby look.

Between Ego and Mofe Boyo

Without mincing words, former Checkmate actress is the more popular of the duo. Ego, who acted the role of Ann Hastrup in the now rested soap, earned her fame in the 90s. Her husband, Mofe, is a big player in the oil and gas industry but came into the picture much later. He and his partners including Jite Okoloko became famous on account of their exploits in the oil and gas industry. A very private person, Mofe, whose social habits cannot be likened to that of his wife, stepped out in company with his wife at a party for the incumbent NDDC chairman, Bassey Dan-Abia. The couple were a sight to behold as not many people have seen them that way before.

Controversial businessman turned politician, Ifeanyi Uba, swallowed a bitter pill recently when he lost out in the keenly contested Anambra State governorship election.

This might have caused him to take a backseat, thus he went low profile after the election results were made public.

However, he made his first major public appearance last weekend. He was one of the thousands of guests who attended President Jonathan’s daughter’s wedding in Otuoke, Bayelsa State.

Accomplished in the true sense of the word, Olu Akpata is one of Nigeria’s finest merger and acquisition lawyers. Very discerning and well respected in the international market, his experience spans more than two decades.

He is a partner at Templars, a Nigerian law firm. Like his professional clout, his social clout is second to none. In spite of his achievements, Akpata’s marital status is one that surprises many. Not many people will readily agree that he is yet to quit bachelorhood. While it is not clear if he is dating at the moment, close watchers insist he is just at home with his status.

Jide Adenuga soars

An entrepreneur of note, Jide Adenuga is not content with being referred to as the son of one of Nigeria’s best-known business mogul, Dr. Mike Adenuga. The fine-looking young man, who is in his early 30s, opted to carve a niche for himself a few years ago and it has paid off tremendously.

The CEO of 3 Inclusive Ltd, not many gave him a chance when he launched his wine and champagne business. Successfully, he brought into Nigeria one of the most recognisable champagne brands in the world- The Montaudon and he is still reaping from this feat. Drawing from his innate management skills, the multi-million naira business has emerged a money spinning venture within a space of a few years.

These days, his business acumen more than his pedigree and good looks put together, endear him to the opposite sex.

In his 50s, Timi Alaibe is the former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission. While his tenure lasted, he was popular within and outside political circles and has remained so long after he left office.

He was widowed a few years ago when his wife, Alaere, died after battling a terminal sickness. Even though he is yet to give matrimony another shot, he was once rumoured to be in a relationship with a former beauty queen.

A good dresser who favours Niger Delta attire, he has upped his game. Apart from his growing love for suits, his choice in casual wear cannot be faulted. At a reception hosted in honour of the newly appointed Managing Director of the NDDC, Mr. Bassey Dan-Abia, he settled for a red polo shirt and geek glasses that shaved many years off his biological age.

Have you seen Gbenga Oyebode lately? A managing partner at Aluko & Oyebode, he is married to Aisha, who is easily the most prominent of late General Murtala Muhammed’s children. Apart from his exploits in the legal profession, his eye-catching looks have earned him notice in several quarters.

These days, Gbenga, who loves to attend functions in company with his wife, flaunts a trim look that makes him look far less than his age. Apart from this, he also spots well-groomed greying beards that makes him look dapper and sets him apart from the crowd. Add these to his style regime and he is easily one of the stylish men on the social scene.

Saying the immediate past governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, is a fun-loving man is stating the obvious.

The Kano State-born career banker, who has been at the centre of a rumpus, has evidently refused to allow it affect his social disposition. Last weekend, not a few people were surprised to see him at the movie premiere of Chimamanda Adichie’s “Half of a Yellow Sun.”

All smiles, not only was he the cynosure of eyes, he interacted freely with guests and nothing in his demeanour showed that he was troubled by his current predicament.

Gospel artiste, Lara George, is not a stranger to the limelight. She was a   member of the former KUSH group. The break-up of the group birthed her solo career and already she has three albums to her credit.

While her fans are impressed at the success she has recorded so far, the same cannot be said of her current stature. The mother of two was a guest at the premiere of “Half of a yellow sun” last weekend and those who saw her where stunned by her new look.

Dressed in a sequin dress, Lara looked rather matronly owing to the fact that she has put on a lot of weight.
