The 3rd Annual Lecture Series/Cocktail Party of Yes Magazine took place recently at the Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), Victoria Island, Lagos. Dignitaries who graced the occasion included the Secretary to the Ogun State Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa; former Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire; Sir Steve Omojafor; Ras Kimono; Wunmi Obe ;Prince Ifeanyi Dike; Emeka Opara, Director at Airtel, and others.
EMMY Kosgei, Kenyan gospel artiste and wife of senior pastor of Revival Assembly, Apostle Anselm Madubuko, is expectant. The couple were spotted at the 3rd anniversary of YES International Magazine in Lagos. Emmy looked radiant as she rocked her baby bump. The pastor of the Revival Assembly Church, Apostle Madubuko, lost his first wife of over two decades and the mother of his three children, Connie, July 2012 and remarried a year after to the Kenyan gospel artiste.
Emmy, an A-list musician in her country, is a recipient of her Head of State’s Commendation Award. Reputed for her hit number Ololo, her father, Jackson, is a bishop, while her mother, Rose, is into business. Educated at Utalli College, Nairobi where she read Food Production, she is the owner of The Hope Academy for the less privileged and Emmy K, a fashion house. Dark and lovely, she started singing in the youth choir, but exploded to national prominence with her popular albums like Katau Banda, Kaswech and Taunet.
THAT Anselm Tabansi’s Fahrenheit Hospitality Group is popular in the hospitality business is no news. Well, the gist is that the brain behind Svengali Designs has his hands in a new pie. The new edifice located on the Island, we gathered, is dubbed Fahrenheit Maison. Tabansi, a lawyer-turned interior designer, is a force to reckon with in the hospitality business and many fun-lovers have high expectations of the new edifice.
THESE are the best of times for Sylvia Nduka. When she won the 2011 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, there was such uproar that we were not sure if she would make it through her tenure. Despite all controversy, the former beauty queen remains undaunted.
Well, it is not news that the leggy beauty queen is engaged, though the identity of her man is still shrouded in secrecy. The CEO of Sylvia’s Hair Gallery, we gathered, is making plans for the wedding.
The wedding is billed for the later part of the year. The bride to be was spotted in Houston, Texas, a few weeks ago. Sources disclosed was there to make preparations for her nuptials.

PEOPLE tend to think of fashion as being redundant during this season and most are confused about which type of outfits they should wear for wedding, birthday and owambe parties. We are finally looking into the period where we definitely don’t have to worry about these dips in temperature. Some of people prefer to wear dull dresses so that the bright coloured ones do not get stained, but in the right hands, rainy season apparel can be incredibly elegant. It is fun to get dressed glam and fabulous during rainy season.
LADIES now go the extra mile to look good and trendy. Nowadays, women are spending a fortune on looking good. The shape, design, style and colours of your suit matter a lot. Women’s suits have moved from the modest two pieces style to more complex fittings and smart designs. Suits by the likes of Next, Versace and Valentino are well designed and they enjoy great patronage.
A suit should not just be a mere office wear for women; it is something that a smart lady can use to enhance her looks and to create the waoh effect.
Wearing an ill-fitting suit can damage the effect of your image, so, getting the right fit in a suit and tailoring it according your shape is rather important. This goes a long way in impressing your client as well as your peers. So, when going shopping for your suit, have these in mind:
•Choosing a fabric – The first thing to consider is fabric of the suit you have chosen.
•The fit of your trousers – Make sure that you can stick two fingers into the waist while you are wearing your trousers to show there is room for comfortability.
•The next thing to check is the hem of your trouser. Your pants should reach your shoes
• The waist of the jacket should fit easily across your stomach.
Getting, combining and matching suit accessories are difficult things to do, but when it is slightly and stylishly done, it gives an aura of power and boosts one’s confidence.
If psychologists were to examine what inspires the weird costumes of football fans worldwide, their findings would make interesting reading. A good example is this fan of the Netherlands wearing enough carrots to feed a family!
