| Sisi Abah- Custodian of Style |
 |
| Segun Awolowo |
This weekend, Saturday, July 22, 2017 all roads would lead to the Queen's Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos home of Nigeria's dame of fashion, Hajia Abah Folawiyo aka Mama Segun or better still "Sisi Abah" like most of those very familiar with her call her.
Mama is the proud mother of the Executive Director/MD of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), by name Segun Awolowo. She's also the wife of the late Baba Adinni of Yorubaland, Alhaji AbdulWahab Iyanda Folawiyo. That's the late dad of the quiet billionaire, Tunde Folawiyo.
The "custodian of fashion" and matron of the "Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria" (FADAN), who reigned supreme in the 80s and 90s as the preferred designer of choice for the stars and celebrities of then, would clock the grand old age of 75 years old exactlly on Saturday, having being born on July 22, 1942.
More after the break.
