Nollywood star actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde’s 40th birthday bash has come and gone but it will be talked about for a while because it was not just your ordinary birthday party as Nigeria and Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote turned up at the event. He put on suit, looking very simple as usual.
All eyes were on him as he made his way to his table and every paparazzi present at the event wanted to snap him. Among other crème de la crème at the event were Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Amaju Pinnik, Tony Elumelu and  Senator Ben Murray Bruce of the SilverBird Group.
The event which took place on Sunday, February 11, 2018 at the Land Mark Event Centre, Lekki kicked off with performances by ace saxophonist, Tola Zee, Yemi Sax, DJ Humility who played Jamz from the 1980s and 90s with DJ Obi who was at hand to keep the younger ones entertained.
The Omotola’s party was a typical Lagos party which had the likes of D’banj, Sir Shina Peters and Sunny Ade. Even though it was her day and the spotlight was on her; Omotola and her crew prepared well for the event as the venue looked flawless. The colour of the evening which was actually black and red created a different vibe for the venue. The chairs, tables, stage and lightening could be compared to a dinner party for an international award with so much to eat and drink.
Omotola later performed on stage where she gave a rendition of her song from her last album with the help of a live band and she got the audience on their feet as they sang along. Another Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi who lost her son last year also sang with Omotola, it was really sweet and emotional moment for everyone.
Other event that took place at the well-attended birthday party was Senator Ben Bruce’s entry drama. The distinguished senator was stopped at the gate by a female security detail who wanted the senator to show his invitee. It was not clear if he had his invitee with him.
It took the intervention of some of the organisers to get a visibly calm senator into the venue.

Another event occurred when D’banj entertained the guests with melodious tunes from his last album and even from his first album which got the guests dancing. As usual, D’banj left the stage to interact with guests; while he was entertaining and got to the table of On Air Personality (OAP), Daddy Freeze, he praised him. But before he left, he made comments concerning the tithing controversial issue and told Daddy Freeze that he doesn’t care what pastors do with tithes but he gladly pays his own tithe.
It was indeed a night to remember with the presence of personalities in all sectors of the economy.
