Bobo Omotayo hosted the first official book reading for his debut print offering “London Life Lagos Living” on Friday 18th November 2011 at the X.O Wine Store in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The coffee table book which features a selection of Bobo’s popular “Friday Track” articles alongside design, illustration, pop-art and photography from some of Nigeria’s most talented young creatives – Osione Itegboje, Karo Akpokiere, Gbolahan Adams and Folarin Shasanya.
The event was a perfect way to kickstart with weekend! We enjoyed wine from X.O’s cellar as we listened to the book readings and engaged in discussions about the book’s themes and stories.

HAhaha! @ wow raise to power 2! U took the words right outta my mouth. Sorry to say bt even Bobo himself…lol. The previous released pictures of only his face gave the impression he was a fine boy. But after seeing his full brief length here…err..I pass.
Noce book tho. I ordered from amazon! He’s talented!
lolz @sassy diva. nice event
Bros, nice one…………when are u doing the reading for nigerians in pakistan
Was it a book reading or a wine-tasting? Who reads coffee table books in a bar, for goodness’ sake!
Plus, I don’t think everybody got the ‘dress code’ memo. Or will some people just dress up to the nines even if the communiqué says ‘sackcloth required’? hmmmm.
At last I am on BN. Yipee
Wish you more success
Lol@ Sassiediva and Ada. Hey we’re all thinking it but you two had the nerve to post it.
Congrats Bobo!
I need to grab myself a copy too! heard so much about it

Occasions where u expect people to dress to the nine they show up with flip flops and daisy dukes. when you expect them to dress casual and laid back they show up in cocktail dresses with slippers.
i beg, dem no try. see slippers & pam everywhere. kilode? … i just think Londoners are conservatives.
why is everyone saying the event was in london? its clearly stated up there that it was some place in ikoyi..read first before you start saying nigerians in nigeria are better looking..coz this event was in nigeria SMH
