I said it before and i say it again; this Kaine Dosekun (formerly Kaine George) lady is ageing most gracefully. Such a graceful sight to behold.

I think it’s weird that everyone at this event was Yoruba. I mean, I’m Yoruba and I’m just wondering why there wasn’t a lot of diversity at this
Now, this is an event i sure missed! no boobs spilling, fake eyelashes and nails, skimpy skirts revealing shiken legs. lovely event!! congrats Mrs Zaccheaus.
@ Christine,there are a few igbos in the event,i can see a Chioma,Ifeyinwa ,Okeke etc Its cleary a ‘yoruba-lagos elite’ dominated event.Kudos to Ms Zachheus
Not ur usual gathering, decently dressed people. Congrats Mrs Zaccheaus
you just had to go with the there are no igbo people…you need help. i am igbo and i see plenty igbo people and people from other tribes…asue, ify ighodalo, awuneba ajumogobia, all sorts…haba
when we were fighting biafra this yoruba guys were reading book, its not their fault…please do not make it look like segregation….
lol #word
But she did not say there arent Igbo people. She said DIVERSITY! So that could mean that apart from the Yoruba tribe, she didnt see the rest of the Nigerian tribe which could be the Idoma, Hausa, Efik, Fulani, Igbo etc (may I no expose the little I know)
loool…. joka.. very random comeback

Na so so aunty and uncles wey fill this event, no eye candy, and all of them are dressed in an appropriate manner.
I thought i was the only one that observed the APPROPRIATE mode of dressing.No naked girls or thin trouser guys.They all looked RESPONSIBLE AND MAKING MONEY
agreed! Spotted so may of my ondo aunties and uncles. Very classy bunch
congratulations Yewande Zaccheaus God bless you more. For all you dreamers, dont worry you company will look like this one day. Fela say every thing na turn by turn …….. yimu
This are the folks they call OLD MONEY. Heavily Invested and the money just keeps rolling in and them no dey shout.
Really like how every picture’s labelled, accurately so.
I have never ever seen Tara look dis beautiful and put together.
Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos to her
Smae thoughts oooooo. I was suprised
real nice,

Lagos WHO IS WHO.
Who is the celebrant again?
Congratulation Yewande….more success to your elbow ma.
Thats Auntie Yewande to you…I’m sure you are not in her age group to be calling her by her first name…. thats the old school yoruba in me coming out…hehe!
pleaaaaaaase don’t bring that yoruba thingy here o…. what is the essence of prostrating or kneeling down in front of your elder’s and then causing and swearing behind their backs? abegiiiii!
As in…you just got it…I’m yoruba and I’m tired of the 2-faced tradition of respect we practise. Kneel down in front of “aunty” then yimu as soon as she turns her back. Abeg free me jor.
And by the way, how can one tell the age group of a commentator ehn Monica? You be winsh?
BIG CONGRATS Mrs Zaccheaus!! Wishing u more FAB and BLESSED years of event planning!!
This beautiful Mummy looks soo lovely!!—–>http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Eventful-at-10-November-2012-BellaNaija016.jpg
@nino lol i was actually going to mention the other tribes i spotted,i just lost focus.I’m really not myopic.
I really love how civilized ‘Old Money’ folks in Lagos behave,not loud or tacky but simple with an air of sophistication ,exposure,education and career achievement laced with good old values new money cant buy.I honestly admire the elaborate respect culture among the Yorubas no matter their social standing,other tribes should take a cue!
@monica, pleaaaaaaase don’t bring that yoruba thingy here o…. what is the essence of prostrating or kneeling down in front of your elder’s and then causing and swearing behind their backs? abegiiiii!
My exact thoughts oooooo. I am suprised
@EVAN
Classic! Well dressed people.
nice one
Very decent looking!
So we still have matured nigerians who are decent n have good morals..kudos to mama event(aka eventful) not does silly n spoilt bra with little or no norms n style..and greettings to kike,kitty,lami n co for saying d truth
Tara looks so good and she and her husband look like a power couple like the Obamas.
Banke is looking to yellow oh. Babes, share the tips abeg. Xmas is coming.
Speaking of Class!!!It was indeed a gathering of Who Is who. Kudos to Mrs Yewande Zaccheaus
Colourful event !!! Feels real good when dedication to service pays off and you come under the spotlight. CONGRATS Yewande Zacheaus !!! But wait ??? There is one interesting observation, as we all know no CEO can build a company all alone without any help. Where are the staff of Eventful (past and present) ???? I browsed through over 40 photos and absolutely nothing on staff. Haba Mummy Y. Zachy at least you for try acknowledge their contribution to your success now, because only you no go fit build this kind company alone lai lai. Anyway, more grease to your elbows.
