In her 50s, Data Amachree flaunts looks that suggest she is at least five years younger. Call her stylish and you won’t be far from the truth. The Rivers State-born veteran socialite was a staple on the social scene for many years.

In Abuja, where the sophisticated beauty was resident at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel for many years, no party was deemed complete without her presence. Shuttling Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory, her presence was equally felt at parties hosted in the centre of excellence.

Dark-skinned and beautiful, Data seems to have eased out of the party arena. Gone are the days when her arrival at gigs sent the paparazzi into a frenzy of excitement.
