Realness Corner With Fola Francis: The Weekend MRH Turned 1

Starlights, did you miss me?

I definitely missed y’all reading my articles.

I took a long break from writing to focus on some personal stuff, like the activation of my clothing line, which has been doing great, I’ve been super excited about it.

Enough chitchat about my personal life, you already know the only reason I’m writing is because I’m bringing you the tea on the latest event I graced in Lagos, so I might as well dive into it.

Sunday the fourth of May 2018, Azuka Ogujiuba – or Zukiliciouz like she’s fondly called, celebrated the first year anniversary of her media house ‘Media Room Hub’, hosted by ‘Cointreau’. Aunty Azuka didn’t come to play at all, the event was very lush and intimate, everyone who’s anyone in the entertainment, fashion, and media industry were present, I’m talking about the likes of Mo Abudu, Charles Otudor, Omotola Jalade, Betty Irabor, Adebola Williams, Monalisa Chinda, Olisa Adibua, Julius Agwu, Moriam Musa, Bovi, Swanky Jerry, Lolo, Idia Aisien, Bolanle Olukanni, Seyi Shay just to mention a few.

My outfit was pretty casual because I wasn’t planning on doing too much, I wore a Giorgio Armani shirt paired with a black pant from Jasper and my old Oxford shoes. Honestly, when I got to the venue I thought to myself, this is just an excuse to throw a lux party and let people know you are not their mate, and we got the message loud and clear.  The venue was “The Backyard” in VI, one of the most popping spots right now in Lagos.

There was a panel session that discussed “corporate reputation in the area of social media”. The speakers were Toyosi Etim Effiong, Patricia Obozuwa, Tosin Adefeko, Ogochukwu Ekezie Ekaidem, Chizor Malize, and Nkiru Olumide Ojo.

This was followed by the cutting of the anniversary cake.

Later on, there was a special performance by Tiwa Savage, plus an endless supply of alcohol and chops to get us into the vibe, and when I say us, I mean me. Really, it was an amazing event, and I wish MRH a happy anniversary.
