Last September, the social scene was agog to witness the wedding of the daughter of Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, Koko and her hubby, Chimaobi Obioha. The ceremonies commemorating the union were the talk of town for many months. It had in attendance many elites from within and outside the country.

Expectedly, the bride’s mum who does not do things in half measures went all out to guarantee a successful celebration. More than six months after the wedding, the newly-wed couple are expecting the pitter-patter of tiny feet in their home.

Koko, who studied in the United Kingdom, is currently pregnant with her first child. The expectant mother, who rarely frequents social events especially in recent times, was seen attending one in company with her husband. She looked visibly pregnant and wore a brilliant glow.

In her 40s, Vivienne Chioloji, is one of the celebrated faces on the social scene in Lagos and beyond. Quite pretty, she has an amazing dress sense and never fails to flaunt her love for designer wear and accessories.

Still single, she used to date the multimillionaire owner of a luxury goods store and those who are in the know insist a no love lost situation still exists between the duo many years after their affair was called off. That probably explains the presence of her circle of friends and her absence, at events frequently hosted by her former love interest.

Many will recollect that Vivienne was bereaved, when her sister, Jennifer Chioloji, passed away last year at a funeral party hosted by one of their friends in Imo State. More than one year after her loss, Vivienne is back to flaunting her love for designer items. These days, she is being sighted at several functions.

One of the sons of the late Dr.Olusola Saraki, Laolu ,was perhaps the most sociable of his siblings. Before he got married to Spanish beauty, Carolina Merry Del Val , a few years ago, he was also one of the hottest bachelors in town.

A member of the upwardly mobile scene, it was not unusual for him to attend parties hosted by his ilk in company with his close friend, Kojo Annan, whose longstanding absence on the social scene has not gone unnoticed.

Since getting married, Laolu, spends more time in company with his wife and children who live abroad. Occasionaly , he visits the country in company with his wife who loves to wear African attires.

There is no denying the fact that Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, loves to unwind. The father of four boys likes to dance and is never afraid to exhibit his dancing prowess whenever the opportunity presents itself.

He was one of the guests that attended the birthday party of newly-elected legislator, Omosede Igbinedion, which held at her father, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion’s palatial residence in Benin last week. Fayose, who was in high spirits while the party lasted was without airs and graces when he danced to the admiration of other legislators present including Femi Gbajabiamila, Mohammed Gololo and Leo Ogor ,to mention but a few.

Ojy Okpe’s new life

Nigerian-born international model, Ojy Okpe nee Egwenu , became popular after she made it to the finale of M-Net Face of Africa more than 10 years ago.

She relocated to South Africa and subsequently the United States of America. Thereafter, she married Austin Okpe, who is the younger brother of Nina Agwuna and Muka Nwokedi, who are popularly known as the Charisma twins. Theirs was thought to be a match made in heaven until tales suggesting that all was not well with the couple became commonplace. While Ojy made several spirited attempts to debunk the tales, it has now become glaring that the mother of two and Austin are not enjoying the best of times.

While Ojy spends a lot of time in America where she resides with her children, Austin frequents Abuja where his latest love interest, Elizabeth, was a resident. She relocated abroad a few months ago and was delivered of a baby girl three weeks ago.

He is one of the sons of the Esama of Benin, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion, and perhaps one of the most popular. A few years ago, he was in the news when he wedded his Ethiopian wife at a lavish ceremony that spanned several days.

Fred who has somewhat kept a low profile in recent times was in the news recently when he was convicted by a Federal High Court in Benin. He was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on an 81-count charge including money laundering, misappropriation of funds, conspiracy and abuse of office. He was sentenced to a three-year jail term with an option of fine.

Certainly unruffled by the judgement, Michael, was in his finest elements at a party hosted in Benin recently. For most of the time, he was on his feet dancing.

Light-skinned and pretty Jennifer Uzor was slightly popular on the social scene until she teamed up with the now-deceased owner of Movida Nightclub, Akeem Sodeinde, to float a hangout. Subsequently, her fame experienced a quantum leap.

As many people predicted, the partnership did not work out and the duo soon parted ways in unhappy circumstances. Jennifer, who was worse hit, quietly exited the social scene and continued to live a low-profile life.

A few years ago, there were insinuations that she had quietly gotten married to a fairly celebrated businessman. Although she neither confirmed nor denied the news, Jennifer, who is a close friend of Lola Okoye, has continued to evade the limelight for reasons best known to her.

Things are definitely looking up for entrepreneur, Leila Fowler. The sultry beauty who is of Nigerian and American descent is the daughter of the Chairman, Lagos Internal Revenue Service, Tunde Fowler and his American-born wife, Rosemary.

Many will recollect that Leila, or Funke as some like to address her, got married to fellow silver spoon, Abi Kuku, a few years ago at a destination wedding that held in Dubai. In the last one year, there have been widespread conjectures about their union.

In the build-up to the last general elections, not a few must have noticed Leila’s closeness to the family of the incoming Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

Already, her father seems set to benefit from this chummy relationship. There are talks that he is being considered to head the Federal Inland Revenue Service.

She was married to the late Chief Wole Adeosun. A prominent persona, he was until his death about three years ago, Chairman, National Pensions Commission.

An inseparable pair, Genny, who is one of the matriarchs of high society withdrew from the social scene following her husband’s demise. Beautiful in the true sense of the word, Genny was all smiles last weekend when her daughter, Yewande, got married to Ade Adefarasin last weekend in Lagos. Incidentally the groom is the son of Pastor Wale Adefarasin of the Guiding Light Assembly fame.

As expected, all aspects of the traditional wedding were superlative as both families spared no expense and ensured it was a classy soiree. There was a massive influx of A-list personalities who came to identify with the couple and their families.

The roles of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and his wife, Florence, at the event did not go unnoticed. It was a fair demonstration of the bond that exists between the Ajimobis and Adeosuns. Dressed in attire similar to that worn by the bride’s mother, they were a pillar of support and remained visible while the event lasted. Those in the know insist that their relationship dates back several years.
