• Lagos socialite hosts high society to memorable bash
The Nigerian high society listed like a cruise ship and literally burst at the seams, on Friday, 20 January 2017, when Princess Olajumoke Abidemi Okoya-Thomas celebrated her 60th birthday. The event took place at the Oriental Hotel, Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos. The very grand party featured a heavy A-list of notable personalities, drawn from all the facets of the Nigerian social circuit.
We gathered that the birthday celebration kicked off with a Thanksgiving service, which was officiated by Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, and Pastor Ituah Ighodalo of the Trinity House ( the celebrant is an active member of his church). After the church service, a grand reception followed and this was anchored by Tunde Adewale (Tee-A).The colour dictate of the day was silver, and most of the female guests adhered to this theme. Forget the dark pall on her relationships in the past, Jumoke is living the good life.
Notable among those who graced the classy birthday party were;Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, Aremo Segun Osoba, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Senators Tokunbo Afikuyomi, Ganiyu Solomon, Oloruninbe Mamora, Daisy Ehanire Danjuma, Florence Ita-Giwa, Folashade Bent, Hon.
