The venue of this particular premiere in the series of films/movies by Mo Abudu was the "Civic Centre Victoria Island Lagos, not the VinveConve Centre of Eko Hotel, where her last film premiered. This wasn't a massive budget film like the "The Wedding Party 2-Destination Dubai, her best bestseller up till date which is still breaking records all over town. But this had a sizeable budget too!

Mo is gradually turning out to be the lady with the Midas touch, who seem to just know how to pick a blockbuster, all films picked or endorsed by her have become big money spinners and record breaker, maybe this one also that has the beautifully refined actress, Zainab Balogun as the lead character, supported by the consumate acting skills of award winning veterans likes of Jide Kosoko, Rachel Oniga and other good actors would most likely tread the same awesome path as a money spinner, like others.

If the premiere is a signpost of what's to come, then the "The Royal Hibiscus Hotel" seem to have landed very well, like a private jet, or on First Class in steroid driven mode with super people in its belly. Imagine the likes of Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, 2 of Nigeria's richest people, one the certified "Richest in Africa'', the other one, one of the top 10 richest in Nigeria. And supported by many other A-listers.

Truly and truly, the stars rained, poured down in torrents, like an unstoppable avalanche at the venue and added colour to the beautiful event.

Long before this premiere, the titbits and snippet shown had already conditioned many movie watchers or cinema goers that it's one movie they must go to watch. Those who attended this premiere were not disappointed at all by what they saw. Good story, great acting, great actors, great production, all the elements were intact and the fans would most definitely go out in torrents to go watch. What this actually means is that, Mo Abudu would at least have 2 films that would contest for many categories of awards this year, the only snag in their wheel of progress is sure to be the fantastic production by Omoni Oboli, called "Women on Strike- the revolution", a movie that was excellent from the start to the end.

Back to the Royal Hibiscus Hotel'' premiere, the theme apparently was "Valentine Red" and many adhered strictly to the theme or colour code, while many didn't and maybe gave their own interpretations of the day's colour code. Omawumi looked gorgeous in black sequin dress and pant, her red was sandals and pumpkin slice bag, Waje looked scrumptiously fetching in her black pant and top ensemble with a touch of red being her bag, the weight loss has done her excellently. Dakore Akande, Toyin Abraham, Zainab Balogun for us were three of the "best dressed/most stylish at the premiere though, another very stylish person at the premiere was Ozinna Anumudu who didn't wear red. Zina is the gorgeous daughter of Nkiru Anumudu, whose lovely cherry fascinator, was a sight to behold, her collection have always stood out and this one is likely to be another top International brand.

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.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE CIVIC CENTRE AS IPHIE@40 HOLDS TODAY!!!

Today, Sunday, October 22, 2017 is the D-Day, after all must have gone to church for the thanksgiving service. It is the day of the ultimate convergence, when friends and family members of one of the most stylish persons in Nigeria, in the person of the supremely gorgeous, top style mistress, a known master of the game in terms of looking good, a solid fashionista to the core, a former beauty queen ("former Miss Lux"), a trained lawyer, world class stylist, a mother and the wife of Andreas Williams, in the person of Ifeoma "Iphie" Williams", would gather to celebrate her 40th birthday, with pomp and pageantry.

From all indications and information at our disposal, it would be a solid gathering at the exclusive party. We are expecting all the most gorgeous people at the party, which has as its theme- Michael Jackson".

The party though celebrating Ifeoma at 40, would also put into focus, one of the world's most popular and renowned cultural icons, in the person of the late king of pop- Michael Jackson, whose dress sense and style was very unique all by itself.

So guests both male and female are going to get their style inspiration from the man that was very very unique in many ways.

Known for her exquisite taste in all ramifications, this party would most definitely, be one of the best of the season. Knowing Ifeoma very well, she and her event planner, whoever that might be, would have gone to any length possible to deliver an exquisite and first class ambience to razzle-dazzle all, as Michael Jackson is known to love very bright colours and things that stands out, remember that bedazzled one handed glove, the bedazzled white socks peeping out under a short pant (trouser), the military jacket with many epaulettes, those big aviator sunglasses, the Jerry curled hair etc. We are eagerly awaiting how many of the guests would interpret these one of its kind theme.

The venue is the Civic Centre, along Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island Lagos opposite the 1004 flats and time to converge is at 7pm. Are we going to be there? That would mean the SSS, Military intelligence, Police and the Army authorities would have to declare war to flush us out. Lol!!!! Anyways we would do our best to bring you all the proceedings as they unfold.

This would be the shindig of all shindigs, that we can most definitely swear by.
