There is nothing gorgeous about being draped in the finery that constricts the heart and soul. Otunba Bola Kuforiji-Olubi understands this priceless fact hence her predilection for modesty and unabashed humility.

The ravishing socialite who is reputed for her quiet demeanour effortlessly exudes dignity and class; the woman who projects as the nucleus and undying essence of the social scene even before contemporary celebrities were born, recently turned 80 and like a woman of true character and quiet nobility, she elected to celebrate her anniversary as a low-key affair. A thanksgiving service was held at the All Saints Anglican Church, Montgomery Road, Yaba, Lagos.

Among those who graced the ocasion were former governors Peter Obi and Gbenga Daniels, fellow traditional chief Otunba Subomi Balogun, Senator Ben Obi and Bola Obasanjo, among others. Otunba Bola Kuforiji-Olubi is reputed as a trailblazer, especially among the womenfolk.
