THE WEDDING PARTY 2 BREAKS BOX OFFICE RECORD ON OPENING NIGHT. SET TO BREAK EVERY RECORDS AVAILABLE IN THE LONG RUN!


All things being equal, the fantastic sequel to the wedding party, that's "The Wedding Party 2-Destination Dubai is already on the enviable path to break every and that's every box office record available in the Nigerian film space bar none.

Just like we had said after we had seen the movie twice, knowing that it was bigger than the first in all ramifications, be it budget, scope etc, that investment is already yielding massive and unprecedented, but expected results/payoff!

The very elated Executive Producer of the Blockbuster, one of the EPs at that, in the person of Mo Abudu has excitedly exclaimed on her IG page, how the sequel just at the opening weekend alone has already raked in ₦73 million Naira (Seventy three million Naira as against the ₦36 million that the first part "The Wedding Party" brought in over the same period. That's already 200% increase and that's still just over a weekend!

The first part was said to have raked in an unconfirmed total of about ₦500 million Naira in the long run, and from all indications there's the likelihood that "The Wedding Party 2- Destination Dubai" would most likely blow that record and annihilate it to smithereens and become the first billion Naira raking movie in Nigeria!

That's going to be a major feat by all standards.

And no doubt that would become the benchmark by which every and any movie/film that would be considered a success would be ajudged.

Kudos truly to the Elfike initiative, who are the collective behind the project!

AFWN 2017 MODEL CASTING SMASHES ALL.AVAILABLE RECORDS

The call for models to participate at this year's edition of the Africa Fashion Week Nigeria 2017 was a smash hit!

Never in the history of a casting call has the number of models that came reached such stratospheric numbers. It was like all the models in Nigeria, both male and female converged at the venue of the casting, which was the International Women SOCIETY (IWS) hall along the Lekki- Ajah Expressway, Lagos.

The sheer number lays credence to the fact that in just 3 years of her existence, AFWN has shown that it is the premier FASHION showcase/event to be a part of and for one to attach ones name to.

At the end of the day, the model casting team led by the renowned make up artist and model scout, in the person of Bayo Haastrup, supported by top stylist and designer Jide Reason, top hairstylist Zubby and others had the onerous task of picking just 70 plus models for the upcoming show out of the close to a thousand that came. The show itself, is set for June 3 & 4, 2017 at the most iconic venue presently in Lagos, Nigeria- the National Arts Theater, Iganmu, Lagos.

And from all that we can get, it's going to be the biggest so far in the series.
