    Daisy Danjuma hosts classy Christmas soiree

    Senator Daisy Danjuma stands out not only as a remarkable political figure but also as a resolute advocate for those around her, much like the strong, nurturing embrace of a Mother Hen. With her leadership roles as the Chairman of the ECOWAS Parliament’s Women and Children’s Rights Committee and the Senate Committee on Women Affairs and Youth Development, she has been instrumental in championing and safeguarding the rights of vulnerable groups, particularly children. Fierce, outspoken, and possessing a sharp intelligence, she brings a distinctive glamour to the red chambers of the Senate. When she speaks, the room falls into a profound silence; the kind you’d expect when a pin dropped could be heard echoing. Her words are laden with wisdom, reflecting her deep understanding of societal issues.

    At the age of 73, Senator Danjuma defies the passage of time, exuding a radiant beauty that seems untouched by age. She carries herself with remarkable poise, looking pristine and flawless much like a fine wine that matures gracefully with time. A true showstopper, she effortlessly makes fashion statements, embodying elegance whether she dresses to the nines or opts for a simpler look.

  • Otedola, Alakija dazzle at Daisy Danjuma’s party

    We tend to think of the high and mighty as people whose main, if not only, obsession is with acquiring all the money and power they can. While this may be true, we also tend to forget that they are the ones who throw the brightest, grandest and most expensive parties.

    But beyond splashing money around as if it would go out of fashion, they are also human beings like the rest of us who sometimes want to have a good time. That much was evident at the 65th birthday soiree in honour of General T.Y. Danjuma’s wife, Senator Daisy Danjuma. The high octane party left many mouths agape in wonder of the luxury on display from the food and the wine to the music and even the people in attendance.

    But besides the fanfare was the display put up by billionaire oil baron Femi Otedola and Africa’s richest woman Folorunsho Alakija. The duo almost brought the roof down with their dancing steps as they engaged each other in an unofficial dancing contest.

Senator Daisy Danjuma’s first son, Yuki Ehime Omenai, and his lover, Moriam Omobolanle Rotimi, sealed their age-long romance with a fairytale wedding in far away Marbella, Spain last Saturday.

    BORN to a medical doctor father and an Irish mother, Priscilla loves the good life and has friends across the social divide among whom are Daisy Danjuma, Angela Adebayo, Ranti Johnson, Lanre Ojora, Joko Olunloyo, Nike Makinde, Nene Lawal and others. To say she is a jolly good fellow is like stating the obvious. A mother of two beautiful girls in her late 50s and nothing about her depicts that she would soon be 60. The mixed race ex-public servant who used to be married to Chief Dele Fajemirokun was a bubbly socialite until she relocated to Abuja.
