 Lagos was agog on Sunday, April 14, 2013, when Encomium, the magazine and events company, staged the 4th edition of The Black & White Ball. Held at Ruby Gardens on Klm 11, Lekki Epe Expressway, Lekki, Lagos, the high octane event incorporating the Elegance and Style Awards and showcasing jaw-dropping drapes and duds attracted loads of music and movie stars, comedians, politicos, uncommon entrepreneurs, serious professionals and captains of industry. The Black & White Ball equally featured music and comedy, dinner and dance. 


Honoured with the prestigious awards were the Delta State governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan who emerged The Most Stylish Governor and Tex Egbedi (Texen), for Pace Setting Clothier. Wife of Lagos State governor, Dame Emmanuella Abimbola Fashola was also decorated with the Most Adorable First Lady award, while delectable actress, Ebube Nwagbo won Most Elegant Entertainer among others.


Proudly supported by Intercontinental Distilleries Limited (IDL), makers of Chelsea London Dry Gin, Squadron Dark Rum and Veleta Sparkling Fruit Drink, The Black & White Ball was graced by top celebrities, including Chidi Mokeme, Fred Amata, Aremu Afolayan, Victor Osuagwu, Susan Peters, Mercy Aigbe, Empress Njamah, Adaora Ukoh, Chioma Toplis, Iyabo Ojo, Liz Anjorin, Eniola Badmus, Bimbo Thomas, Shade Omoniyi, Saidi Balogun, Kefee, Chidinma and Chidiebere Aneke, Ali Baba, AY, Prince Bisi Olatilo and wife, Sammie Okposo and wife, Kcee, Yaw, Elkanah Mowarin, Funny Bone, Akpororo, D-Don, Kenny and D One, Apostle Oloruntoba Oke, Iyalode Adunni Bankole, Olori Tokunbo Eko, Mrs. Emelda Osuji (Madam Modesty) among scores of celebs and socialites.

Anchored by high-flying entertainer, Julius Agwu, it would be recalled that the maiden edition of the Black & White Ball was held in 2009 to celebrate A Decade of Encomium, and it has since been entrenched in the nation’s social calendar as a high octane extravaganza to be and copy.
