sigh…..
Hehehehehe
Yes sigh… People younger than your kids are achieving something. May God continually bless Nigeria with bright young minds and flush out the old and brainless.
First off, I’m impressed with the ambience of the event. The last time I was in Port Harcourt was almost twenty years ago so I’m impressed that the social scene has grown so much. It could have been a Lagos event (no disrespect). Second, I’m impressed that the event was organised by such young men and women. Some might say that they are rich kids so it will be easy for them to organise an event, but the thing is I wasn’t thinking about organising any charity event when I was their age and neither were any of my friends. Even if an adult had tried to make me do it, I would not have made myself available. I must say, I’m impresses.

i think some people need to look at what they wear properly before leaving their houses, short dresses/skirts are not for everyone. I c long legs, shemale legs etc lol some are not even comfortable in them.
@ajiriavae, once lived in PH befoe relocating recently to Lagos, and I can tell you P-town has transformed into an urban stylish location. The youths there are fashionable, love social events and enjoyment. PH is gradually following Lagos closely. Bravo to the organizers, I am so impressed. http://www.brandigest.wordpress.com
hehe we teenagers and youths freakin know how to dress. lovely pictures though x
Well…ehm….you see….this looks like a family tin. They rounded up their family gave the event a name,and VOILA
I have to give PH props, they are looking way better than usual.
Nice….I see ib, tari and a few others
Brilliant, Really Clean looking well put together event!
I’m impressed.
I’m impressed. They are very young
I’m very impressed to see very young Nigerians organize an event for a great cause. Totally wasn’t expecting this. God bless them all.
Looks very classy. Only one complaint. Too many pictures in one setting. A little overwhelming. Much luck.
They respresent the hope I still have in young Nigerians! What a breathe of fresh air!
well done guys! very impressed to see very young people not just “talking the talk” like most of us do but “walking the walk!”
Wow,I wud rock dat black shoe with a bow….. *dayum*
The 1st red carpet event featured on BN that Uti wasn’t in attendance…………………… Lolzz.Maybe,he was denied access #just saying#
sigh! lacks a certain something that LAGOS events have but i applaud them for their effort for charity!
Good one from PH.
We need to de-central Lagos .That is the only way to take care of the over population there.
If every city has same opportunities that others have, people will not stay in one place.(The mistake of our military leaders).
aku is just too fine
Nice pics. The Aku lady is beautiful and dresses well too.
