A Diva on Stage & on the Mic – Scenes & Pics from Omotola’s “Me, Myself & Eyes” Album Release Party
Posted on Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 at 6:42 PMBy BellaNaija.com
Just as she promised, all eyes were definitely on Omotola at her exclusive album release party. On the 24th of September 2010 at Eko Hotel in Lagos, Omotola treated a cross-section of her fans including politicians, musicians, actors, actresses and socialites to a thrilling showcase of her new album “Me, Myself & Eyes“.
Guests at the event included Chief Segun Osoba, Professor Pat Etomi, Abba Folawiyo, Grace Egbagbe, Florence Ita Giwa, Dele Momodu, Mofe and Dorothy Atake, 2Face Idibia, Sasha, AY, Chidi Mokeme, Stella Damasus, Munachi Abii, Omawumi and many others.
The event got off to an exciting start as veteran comedian Ali Baba who attended the event with his wife, Mary hit the stage and delivered a series of rib-cracking jokes. Up next was a documentary on Omotola’s life and career so far. The movie highlighted all the facets of Omotola’s life – as a mother, wife, musician and actress.
The next item on the agenda was the debut of her new video “Stop The War, Stop The War“. The song which features rapper Modenine was inspired by Omotola’s charity work and the poverty she has witnessed during her humanitarian trips she had taken to various war-torn African countries. The stage transitioned from the video into a live performance of the song.
The rest of the event was filled with lots of comedy and performances by the diva – Omotola. Omotola thoroughly enjoyed her time on stage and made various costume changes in between performances. From a black jumpsuit to a black and white dress and finally a red mini dress.
The final act of the evening was the cutting of the special “Me, Myself & Eyes” cake. Omo-T’s husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde stood by his wife as she cut the cake, signifying a new chapter in her career.
The next day, Omotola was back on stage at the “Give and Let Give” gifting concert. The concert took place at Fantasy Land in Ikoyi, Lagos. The event was free and open to the public – there were performances by Sound Sultan, Kore , Harrisong and Asha Gangali. All proceeds and gifts will be donated to the less privileged.

UHMMMM, Stella Damasus, you are TOO fabulous for this ish babe. That dress gets a NO.
my reaction was OMG…. not sumfin i would ever have thot i would see her in
Thats not true,i think the pose made her picture not to look as she looked that night.i saw her walk in to the venue,and she looked lovely. she is as beautiful as her dress. haters keep off.

no nid 4 d haters part nd besides dat dress is awful ne1 wt good fashion sense will kno dat
What in the world was she thinking?????
Omotola is a strong woman.. to still follow her dreams even when almost everyone said discouraging things. All the best Omosexy.. God bless
Wow,beautiful pics.isio wanogho is an epitome of beauty
were are the celebs..it looked like a very low key event to me…why all the unnecessary hype?? omotola is highly overrated abeg!!!! she needs to take a chill pill and take care of her children and stop running around like desperately!! jack of all trades master of none!!!
I for one don’t care for her music, but your rant sounds like you didn’t get invited to your junior high slumber party and now you’re raw for life. Speaking of ‘chill pill’, get yourself a happy one will ya ?
lol!!!!!
I’m not a fan either, but here’s a reply to your rant:
Her husband is not complaining, and who said her children are not being taken care of? Ever heard of super woman? That is exactly what she is. She’s happily married (apparently her husband is so supportive) with children and at the peak of her career. If i were you, i would stop hating and take notes from her.
Jealousy is a disease let’s atleast for once appreciate our African systas who r glowing
A mil for a table…nw thats on a high side omo sexy
and before i forget that munachi babe fine and she raps………damn
i love munachi! she reminds me of Keri Hilson
Nice but some of her outfits look so tacky. She’s trying too hard. she is a pretty girl that has refused to grow into adulthood and still trying to live her childhood fantasies. she should just face acting. a good attempt though
Omosexy, ifeel u.
Please my people that one is good in one vocation doesnt restrict him/her from exploring other areas. Omotola didnot become a super actress in a day, she became better over the years. Let’s encourage her to do what she has passion for, with time she will become all that we want her to be in that area. Omotola kudos, I like your courage and just like u said in silverbird interview, you will always find some people who accept your music, not everybody will. Peace.
I really do appreciate Omotola as an actress but I think her age and look are not quite appropriate for the music industry #justsaying
When u say her age and look aren’t appropriate, then what age and look is appropriate for the music industry? #justasking
the red dress is a tad short Omosexy!!
i thot as much, she’s too wide hipped for that length, nice color though.
chidi mokeme! in this day and age, persin still dey sweat under armpit so tay him shirt don stain? abeg, invest in some deodorant with ANTI-perspirant, jare ah ah! you are a celeb, please represent as such jo!
lol!!! i agree jare!!
ROTFLMAO! pls leave my baby alone oh
Munachi is beautiful sha!!!!
it looks really dry……………stella is d best, where re all the celebrities
The girl is just being unnecessarily stubborn with the die hard attitude on this music thing,the people she paraded there for support dont buy CDs.where are the young people who buy CDs.And for someone without credibility to put a table for her album launch at 1 million naira tells you that she is just a dreamer,One million to see all that funny looking outfit i can see there? Beyonce did not sell a table US$7,000 for her sophomore album launch.Them say na fly when no hear word dey follow dead body enter grave…Plainly this girl is just irritating.
stella…your dress is errrrhmmm INTERESTING….c’mon sweety…u shouldn’t be caught dead in that outfit.
Chidi…red shoes…like seriously????
Omotola is doing her thing no doubt, Madonna doesnt ve the world’s best voice.
Yvonne Ekwere is cute, like her infectious smile and her nice set of pins.
I think Sasha really looked nice as well.
Munachi is one beautiful woman. she has such great features. Linda Ekeji looked glam as well.
Cheers.

can they please stop with the bb texting,it not that serious! its rude and obnoxious to pretend to be busy & self important while you attending an event as a guest period!
Omotola na wa o. This is what they call”I shan’t gree” as in the effort and garagara is too much.
SUPER DUPER self indulgent! kai.
oh, and chidi watever-his-name-is no get mirror for house!?!?!? as in really. the outfit alone is ridiculous but accessorizing with a humongous sweat patch is just TOO MUCH!
na really wa 4 u oh omo….u no go lef dis music business….who’s she tryin to prov haself to? u hav a good life, keep it at dat n stop swaeting it….bc it wasnt really notin to see dat movie colleagues didnt come out to support u…so drop it…bc its only annoyin now
OMOTOLA PLEASE WEAR AGE APPROPRIATE CLOTHING!!!!!! THAT SKIMPY RED DRESS IS EMBARRASSING
my dear nkem what more can we say i cant believe her publicist allowed her wear that thingy its so NO NO!
My take, Chidi Mokeme needs to stop with the shoe must-go-with-shirt thing, it’s old now, don’t you think; so tacky.
Omot is relentless and fiesty when she wants something, this is the second album even with the failure of the first, she’s still pushing so i think it’s time for people to let her be and do what she wants. Has long as she’s happy, we’re all good. The red dress was way too short.
Isio Wanogho she’s super fine…..God just spent some more time on some people.
Bleaching is not a good thing. i would not mention names lest Bella decides not to publish my post! Gbam.
@SweetSerenity…LWKMD…i beg hammer am for hin ear…d guy no dey word. i agree wit the shoe must go wit shirt tin…doesnt luk good. some oda accessories can do wot a to – match shoe does… Stella luks good. Interior deco is fab….., omawunmi….hmmmm…. … munachi…wowww…Ita giwa…she no wan old again..lookin radiant (lov her ambition). CHIDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,I NO WAN C U INSIDE DAT TO MATCH TIN AGAIN OOO, OR ELSE…………………………………..
I read some comments here that are not warranted. Why all these PHD (Pull her down syndrom)? Somebody is doing what she love to do and here some of you are condemning her. Go out there and try what she’s doing or is anyone stopping you? Many of you will go to shows and pay heavily where pig and dogs are performing as long as they’re white. What is wrong in me naming my price when i want to sell something. It is either you buy or you look the other way. Abeg! leave this lady alone and let her do what makes her happy instead of you who are not better than her sitting in your room condemning those potraying our image in good light. Would you people have prefered she’s a prostitute?
Erm did u really have to go down the white race route? That wasn’t called for.
omo sexy rocks, but chic i think u rock better in the movie world
Loves Fade Ogunro’s dress, hair & Makeup. Yvonne’s dress she nice too.
good luck with the music thing since she seems bent on it and yeah Munachi is so fine
Omosezky! lol… Go girl! This is what I call ‘die hard… with a vengeance! Norring spoil jare! go on soun! Super sista! lol
I love Zizi’s dress.
my life is entertainment…..u watch it while i live it………Talk I am listening
there are a whole lot of haters on this page and it is so not nice. why hate???? when has it become a crime to follow your dreams?? she has her husband beside her and i think thats all that matters. evrybody has a chance in life to follow his dreams so why not do urs rather than hate hate hate. na wah oh!
for those talking about chidi’s sweaty underarms. May God forgive u for all the derogatory comments. so human beings are not allowed to sweat again. or u have not seen sweat that can over come anti-perspirant. cut some of these actors some slack please. they are freaking human beings like you and i for crying out loud. whats with all this overrated expectations from them and thier lifestyles????
it is better for wise people to scold you than for stupid people to sing your praise even when you are heading for ruin,all you praisy praisy
abeg chillax. life is not that serious. you people should stop throwing the word hate around carelessly. everybody mustn’t like something, people must surely have varying opinions on a matter because God created us differently and we have different tastes.
p/s: Chidi Mokeme needs deodorant quick!
my dear person, yes there are anti-deodorant that can bypass sweats HOWEVER there are deodorants that are classified as CLINICAL that works for those with excessive sweat like Mr. Chidi Mokeme. If you chose a job in the public eye, please know that you will be put under a microscope, prodded and examined. This wan wey you take panadol for anoda persin headache, how far with the pain? LOL. The man looks sweaty, it is not a good look for someone who is supposedly a sexy symbol!
OMAWUNMI (X3) c’mon ..ur outfit is so wrong for that event! did u miss the memo?
i think she is/was campaigning for her governor, i can see his name on the shirt.
She was campaigning for her Governor isn’t that Obvious.. *smh*
I lv this Omotola well done baby u are the bumb pls keep the flag flying
what flag,Nigeria flag? or Yoruba flag?
Omotola is just so fabulous!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn….
omosexy, ur beautiful, kp d gud work going. chidi dnt mind al ur haters, m on ur side, bt u’l nd to consult me nxt time to choose d DEODORANT
Omotola is a very good actress and the truth is most artistic persons have more than one visible talent……nothing wrong with her doing both, and she aint too old to sing either..her husband loves her and i think she is doing well for herself….the only snag is…….dont think she got what it takes for a career in music…the fact u can sing doesnt mean you have to release albums….
That fade ogunro girl is nice…not been to naija in a while but some of those brothas in there need some work on their gear..the guy in the red shirt and damp “abiya” na wa o…my boy 2-face representing.
Oh Stell!!! That dress is NOT it. Chidi i love you and you’re hot but those shoes are not. Hahaha…I love Omotola as an actress, but Ali Baba and his wife look like they were pissed for having to sit through the whole thing. Omo-sexy, why don’t you put all this energy into directing a block-buster aye.
Pls someone tell me, is there a significance to cutting cake at an event like this, cant it be done without cake cutting? just asking
Looked like she was celebrating her birthday
Who did this to Omotola? I don’t like her outfit.
Isio was looking fabulous as usual.
MR Atake can do better
Was thinking the same thing. This man just likes those awful colorful floral shirts. This should be the third time I am seeing him in these haiwaiin costumes. A clean, crisp shirt would have just been it! Whats with the flamboyance anyway?
A for effort, only. at least, she did it.
What does d cake represent? cause it sure looks ugly.I luv omo sexy as an actress, but as a musician, it’s o big NO.
Omotola is clearly a 9ja Beyonce wannabe!!! just saying.
First of all i love Omotola but the name of the album SUCKS!!! wat d heck is “Me, Myself and Eyes”..like it does not even make any sense and does not sound professional..I love d red short dress, but it did not look good on her
Aunty Stella that ish you are wearing is not working at all! Omotola needs to chill with this music thing for real, but she’s still hot though.
Omo baby pls cut this nonsense out, this is too embarassing to watch, I know tuface is siting there like wat is dis, and b4 ignorant ppl start to tell me am hating, we all are entitled to our opinions, i dont have to agree with u, or c from the same perspective and u cant force me to c ur views likewise me, so pls if u feel indifferent, u can agree to disagree, no need to spend time in it. That why we r different, wat u admire, might not be admirable, that wat makes us unique, but regardlessl; u will c some bully on here, that wants to shove thier opinion down my throat and waste their time showing their ignorance.
OMOTOLA: PLEASE, JUST STICK TO ACTING…ITS YOUR CALLING!! MUSIC ISN’T FOR EVERYONE AND ECSPECIALLY NOT YOU…=[
omosexy!! u still look good, but seriously..na by force?

me, myself and eyes? WTF?! Such a stupid album name! And omotola looks good now but she looks WAY MORE GORGEOUS when she loses weight!! thats why that red dress did not look good on her
omotola u should slow down abit cos as a musician is doesnt bring out d best in u bt as an actress u rock n i tink u better put more effort to dat n live dis music thng 4 d young ones….. aunty stella ur outfit is way out of it n omawummi ur outfit is nt it at all… d whole idea of d event luk lik a birthday party 2 me n 1 advise omosexy, dnt try to force wht u cnt do cos u will only com out luking bad bt i still luv u as an actress
