STARS & GOODWILL RAIN DOWN AT HALIMA ABUBAKAR'S THE MISTRESSES PREMIERE

HALIMA ABUBAKAR

HALIMA ABUBAKAR & BENITA PETERS



BENITA PETERS



The mistresses a new film from the stable of Halima Abubakar's  ModeHouz premiered to a loud bang! This weekend. The d-date was Sunday, February 24, 2013, the venue of the premiere was the prestigious Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, with that fantastic view of the lake or is it the lagoon at the back. 


This is Halima's first major production, and on the day, many of her colleagues also in the make believe world (by that we mean fellow thespians- actresses, actors and also producers/directors) came out to celebrate and rejoice with one of their own; also in attendance were friends and fans and as usual the press (publishers, bloggers, journalists) without whom no event is complete. 


It was a beautiful occasion we must say, the lady of the moment Halima Abubakar, who not too long ago was honored as an Ambassador of peace by the UN, was the cynosure of all eyes. The gorgeously shaped one and talented one at that, must have planned her wardrobe to the t, as she had a wardrobe change all of 3 times. 1st was a very slinky, long slithering silver number, it was like molten silver was poured on her and then left to cool off. The outcome was that it just formed on her delightsome body, leaving just a slit on the left leg, which showed her beautiful silver spike shoes, truth be said, she really looked cool. For her 2nd outfit of the day, she wore a creation by one of the designers that showcased on the night.  It was another beautiful outfit by Alabi Couture by Meg Alabi, it was sheer on top and gold bottom and she finished off the look with a pair of black pumps with gold studs on it. Her final change on the night, had her in a red lace dress by another designer that showcased on the night Azam Couture. She finished off the look with a gorgeous pair of silver shoes. 


It wasn't just about the premiere alone, it was also an opportunity to show a little kindness to the less privileged. Halima known to be very charitable at heart, made sure to tell all to donate their widows mite in support of charity. The event master of ceremony was none other than Toni Payne, who was supported in the background by Cornell Udofia, the publicists to many stars. Opening prayer was done by Hakeem Rahman, while the national anthem was led by the cute Kefee, we totally love how she and husband were just cooing into each other's ears , sharing those sweet little nothings we think. Comedy was by Danny b, an hilarious son of the gun, who gave a good account of himself, musical interlude was by Honey B, Jaywon & there was this trio of young kids, that thrilled all to high heavens. It was fantastic!


A few of the guests and colleagues later gave glowing reviews of the person of Halima Abubakar, the current president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ex-beauty queen Ibinabo Fiberesima, described Halima as a good person, a rallying point and love personified.  Mr. Prolific and MD of GrandTouch Production 'Chico Ejiro' added that Halima is 'Miss Dependable' and a great person.  Basorun Dele Momodu, the Publisher of Ovation Magazine & also a former presidential aspirant, who had to cut short his very busy schedule to honour the actress, said Halima was a good person and that was why he had to fly in at short notice to show support.

Like we said before, there were 2 fashion showcases on the night, 1st to showcase was Azam Couture and then was followed much later during the event by Alabi Couture.  The event venue was packed full with delightsome people and some of those we saw were the gloriously delicious 'Benita Peters-a very supportive friend of Halima, there was also Susan Peters who was looking very slim and came in royal purple, Oge Okoye wore a silver bandage dress, Tana Olulana too wore a beautiful grey/silver nos, Marian Keturah, the delicious Liberian actress came wearing a sheer black number looking unbelievably sexy, Mercy Aigbe wore a stripped black and white ensemble, Ufuoma Ejenobor, who not too long ago dropped a baby came wearing a black outfit, looking as ravishing as ever, Doris Simeon favoured red, seems like it's her best colour, Iyabo Ojo was in a pink dress, the Aneke twins showed off their legs to maximum effect in their short burgundy outfits. Ex-MBGN 2011 Sylvia Nduka who is a member of the cast wore a black number that had silver appliqué on the side, model hunter and ex-beauty queen Princess Chineke was also in the house looking gorgeous. Others that we saw were Jaywon, Loye Amzat, publisher News of the People, Alariwo, Chico & Joy Ejiro, Mary Uranta, Fareeda, Amaka Ononibaku, Agbaje Abiodun, editor of CityPeople Adeboyin Okeshina, Mike Osagie, the entertainment editor at ThisDay Nseobong Okon-Ekong, Bobby Michael, Saeed Muhammed, and many others. 


2 of the casts were not around. Yvonne Nelson missed her flight so was unavoidably absent, so also was Moyo Lawal, who was on call on the set of another film. In all, it was a fun-filled evening, amidst back-slapping  & camaraderie. Everyone who saw the preview of the film commended the production quality & the acting, saying it was 1st class, and they all can't wait to see the full length film. 


We were at the event live! So here is the out and about for your viewing pleasure. All the pictures were personally taken by Abiola Aloba, for Maestro's Media. Use without our permission is frowned upon.

The Degree of Ratchetness in these photos is mind boggling.... i believe women in brazil and peru are all walking around with bald heads cos all the hair i saw here looks like it came from the entire female population in these countries..i also see you invited some real life mistresses ...was that deliberate halima???...ok bye
