The very hyped 40th shindig celebrating Ifeoma 's birthday has come and gone and in many ways it lived to expectations. So the hype wasn't for nothing.

In this report, we are not planning to write so much about how it went down, we would only post a few of the pictures of the event here for your viewing pleasure. Pictures or images like they say, says so much, so we would leave all the conjectures to your imaginations.

We heard it was a star-studded affair all the way, with at least 2 certified billionaires in attendance amongst several other guests. Alhaji Aliko Dangote came and in tow, was his main man Femi Otedola, both as expected didn't have time to dress Michael Jackson!

As Ifeoma Williams is known to do, she gave a super good account of her dancing skills, her dexterity on her feet is of legendary status and she didn't disappoint at all.

Many of the invited guests did their best to adhere strictly to the theme of the occasion, which was "Michael Jackson", including the hostess herself. They all looked outstanding and we had many favourites just too numerous to chose from.

Check out a few of the guests that attended the event at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island Lagos on Sunday, October 22, 2017.

THE RISE AND RISE OF SEYI TINUBU, ASIWAJU's ENIGMATIC SON

Sincerely what else would one have expected from the most visible son of the famous Jagaban Borgu, in the person of  Seyi Tinubu?

SEYI & DAD-ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU

The son of the amiable Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a top chieftain of the APC, showed that he had arrived on the scene with his one of a kind wedding that took place in Nigeria and extended to Lake Como, in Milan, Italy last year (2016), when he took as his partner for life, the delightsome and highly cerebral former Miss Layal Jade Holm now Tinubu.

Since that eventful nuptial, which had the creme of the society in attendance, though it was by far a much muted ceremony than what was expected by many, due to the fact that the parents especially that of Seyi being very high ranking members of the ruling APC party, didn't want to be seen as being ostentatious in the midst of the economic downturn in Nigeria, so they decided to tone down on everything. A quick and impromptu engagement/traditional wedding took place, before the white wedding which was done abroad, with only a "few" in attendance. The few here means just about a hundred (100) people!
