THAT GRAND 50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION OF GRACE OSIME.

It was a 'super' duper Grand 50th birthday party/celebration of the super gorgeous Grace Osime at 12 Temple yesterday, Monday, August 26, 2019.

The venue of the very well attended Monday evening party is owned by the current Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Dr. Dapo Abiodun who is a good friend of the family.  12 Temple as the place is referred to, used to be the meeting & melting point of the who-is-who & very well heeled, before the Governor now went fully into politics and came out as the Governor of Ogun State, which is the 2nd most visible South-Western state in Nigeria. The place is a top notch event venue for top class gatherings.

According to those who attended the Monday classy shindig- "it was an off the hook party by all standards". The guest even said it themselves, "that it was a grand party with all the works". Meaning Grace, the incredibly well mannered, mother of one super smart daughter, made sure no stone was left unturned to host her high caliber guests and family members to a super party.

From the live band to the highly inspired deejay and things. With the choicest of food and drinks in abundance. The guest-list had all the usual suspects of her friends, friends of friends, friends of her big sister and younger sister in attendance. The style maven by name Ruth Osime who is the Editor of This Day Style and the elder sister of the celebrant was in her element as she and others heartily celebrated her younger sibling. She really moved to the beat, showing off her dexterity on the dance floor. It is obvious that the family is a close knit one in everyway.

As expected the birthday lady known to be very very stylish-we can even testify to that fact personally too, some even already refer to her as a style icon, dazzled like a thousand stars on her day as she was the cynosure of all eyes. Said to be a 'gem' trader of high repute, the super stylish lady, whose badass shoe collection is to die for, we even heard that it can rival any fashionistas worth their salt from any part of the world, was very on point and must have spent quite a lot to make this party happen.

Earlier in the day, prior to the evening/night classy party, the family and friends had gone to the church to do a special thanksgiving in celebration of Grace's 50th. Then later in the evening was the gathering of eagles to dance and make merry as they back-slapped & clinked glasses with bubbly hailing Grace.

From us here at MM, we say a very sincere Happy birthday to the Lady Grace. Long may you live in good health & sound mind. 

ABOUT THAT DAPO ABIODUN WORLD CLASS, HIGH OCTANE BIRTHDAY SHINDIG & THE OPENING OF 12 TEMPLE

As was expected, it was world class, 5-star plus in all ramifications. The big boy dude known for his awesome taste and class, didn't in anyway disappoint at all. Truth is, we had wanted to blast the pictures here and waited to get them, but alas we couldn't lay hands on them pictures, so we have thought to give you the gist and paint you the happenstance as they occurred.

The venue of the birthday was Dapo Abiodun's new baby, 12 TEMPLE in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria. And like was expected, it was supremely well appointed. What else could one have expected though, for a place where the high and mighty, the tall and influential, the social juggernauts, the well heeled dandies and cognoscenti, the movers and shakers would converge, it had to be top notch, nearly 7-stars if need be.

Those who came were all well impressed, so much so that the revebrations about the night has still not subsided. Building was painted immaculate white, decor was sumptuous and tasty, not gawdy at all. None of those overly "sexified" ladies looking for pickups were in attendance . All was classy and respectable.

More after the break.

IT'S ANOTHER BIRTHDAY FOR DAPO ABIODUN & LAUNCH OF 12 TEMPLE

Like they say, he that a new year meets should be grateful and thankful, so it seems like for this authentic "big boy", known by many as Dapo Abiodun, celebrated by many as the the Capone of Heyden oil and Gas, an indigenous oil and gas firm and looked at in wonder by loads more, as the fine Adonis by those who don't know himthat much, but who just admires the handsome man with cool features and his dandyish carriage.

The Ogun State born businessmana d recently also politician, who has made his mark in life, who if God permits might one day run the affairs of his beloved state Ogun State, in one capacity of the other, is a year older this month.

He swept everyone, all comers off their feet, when he added a year last year, with a celebration that got people mopping and gobsmarked, that those who attended still recall with glee and excitement. It was a first class celebration in all ramifications. The celebrant took the pains to elevate his guests to the stratosphere and back. So because of that experience,many are already anticipating and expecting an elevation of last year's type of party. Where rare liquor were at the beck and call of those who attended.

Come Sunday, May 28, 2017, a day before his main day been, Monday, May 29, 2017 all roads would lead to a special location in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria where the very suave dandy and liquid fellow, would declare open his new baby and venture, aptly named 12 TEMPLE.

The super exclusive, one of its kind lounge is packaged as a strictly​ members only enclave for the top notch. It would be a convergence point for the eagles in the society. An understanding of that legendary bird of prey would give a clear understanding of what this mega spot is supposed to be like and the likes of clientele it would cater to. The eagle like the hawk are birds that enjoys solitude and don't live amongst mere birds.

So 12 Temple, would cater to top notch business people, aristocrats, well heeled and influential government officials etc. And the location is perfect, as Ikoyi is known for been the best place to own a property in Nigeria.

12 TEMPLE is modelled after the likes of some of the most exclusive clubs/lounges in the world, the likes of Silencio in Paris, Soho House in London, White's also in London, Core, in Manhattan, New York, Capital Club in Dubai, UAE, Kee Club, both in Hong Kong and Shanghai and Yellowstone Club, Montana, USA.

When you are liquid to a certain extent and the mundane is not your usual stress, there are some perks that are expected by you and a membership of 12 TEMPLE is one of such perks.

So congratulations to the man of the people, friend and brother of Tayo Ayeni of Skymit Motors fame, the one, the only Dapo Abiodun. Salute.
