The city of Lagos was practically at a standstill on Sunday April 30 as Lady Shade, wife of the boss of Eleganza Group of Companies Aare Rasak Okoya, turned 40. It was a celebration that reflected her status as the wife of a billionaire businessman and high chief in Lagos. The opulence for which the Okoya family is renowned was on display from start to finish at the expansive hall situated within the family’s Oluwanisola Estate venue of the first-class shindig.
In keeping with the deep pockets of the husband and the generous nature of the celebrant, there was more than enough for every guest to eat and drink. Gorgeous Shade held court as A-list guests tried to outdo one another with stunning outfits, but none compared to hers. She did not only look as graceful as a swan, she also looked a lot younger than her age. She later released stunning photos of herself in stylish postures taken by ace photographer TY Bello.
Among those who lent colour to the occasion were the wife of the Ooni of Ife, Olori Wuraola; billionaire businessman, Chief Samuel Adedoyin; Mike Inegbese and his wife; the CEO of Polo Avenue, Jennifer Obayuwana; veteran broadcaster Sonny Iraboh and his wife Betty; Senator Florence Ita-Giwa; Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi and many others.
