Tiwa Savage covering up for once i appreciate you more this way.
Recognizing my big sis FLM and OYINDA you look smashing.
Two words……Celine Loader.
OMOTOLA…………………..proud of u………..
OMO T EVA GLOING….TIWA LOOKING DIFFERNT FROM OTHERS……
Joseph!!!!!!
Zaaki Azzay the wife beater at an event put together to celebrate women? ok!
i love emem isong she looks calm
im not hating o, but that quantity of pink lipstick just made miss jaie ( (sic)- not sure how it’s spelt) look weird plus you know we can see the body magic, yeah?
leave Ms Jaie abeg. The Body Magic thing is an ongoing matter…..I dont think its the pink lipstick thats the main issue – its her evolving complexion…..
I dunno who Yetunde Ojo is but I loveeeeee her dress!!!

Joe Benjamin looks like ojuju calabar!!

What is he staring at?
Tiwa as 4 me u were looking too yorubaish on that outfit..what were u thinking?? Ok U thot u were going 4 an owambe abi??ms jaie u always look trashy nd messy,, u nev
er get it right for once and as 4 Eva yuh a Hot attention seeker wanna be Nicki minaj.
but she is yoruba so what’s wrong with her looking yorubaish? **blank stare**
Just an observation…the Back drops we use for these events are so busy, they ruin the pictures…I dont know if people shouldnt think of this, yes you have sponsors, but cant we keep it somewhat simple…
I feel bad for Glory, yes she attended the events on the same day but she could have switched it up…maybe changed shoes or taken off those silly glove..as in leather glove in this heat wave we are experiencing in Lagos…Imagine seating next to her if she took off the gloves…just saying…
yeah…i love that yetunde ojo’s attire…soooo decent!
omotola…keep it up at least ..you kinda look like a mother of four here…a little anyway.
tiwa savage…is that you…its well oo…not bad anyway but surprised. good to keep it all covered!
Who styled this lady?…http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Aisha-Bello.jpg
Dat dress isn’t suitable for your skin at all!…http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2012-Exquisite-Lady-of-the-Year-Awards-November-2012-BellaNaija010.jpg
Too much of make-up makes her face looks like doll…http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Ms-Jaie.jpg

I love that Tiwa is just having a time of her life with her choices of ensemble. Almost unpredictable with each outing.

Omotola Ekeinde is such a beautiful woman!
My that’s exactly you know temz . Omotola looks new and younger everytime! Been watching her since daybreak! Its wierd. It is actually unreal.
My thots exactly…
Tiwa love, you fall my hand. Don’t get me wrong, rep your culture all the way; but something bout wearing iro and buba to this function was just off.
Even if U̶̲̥̅̊ want to wear iro n buba don’t make it look like an oversized wedding gown….
It will be great to see all we BN commenters on the red carpet one day…
Tiwa savage should never try that look again lmao! The fact that she old in age is not helping matters either there’s no way u should dress like baba Jide’s second wife to a red carpet event lmao
Joseph Benjamin looks like a Sango worshipper, what in the world was he thinking?
Eva Alordiah’s foundation is so off.
Tiwa I ❤ your attire, you rock!
All the ladies with long dresses were on point!!!
Except perhaps the girl who stole her grandma’s curtains http://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Allison.jpg ooooops! lols

Buahahaha!! Bellanaijia commentators.. to die for!! I stay laughing at all of them.. Iro and Buba for Tiwa.. now that is “questionmark/blankstare” moment.
My colleague just gave me a surprised look and I had to cover my laugh with fake cough. As usual, I rushed to the comments and u guys did not disappoint me. Good laugh 4 a very hectic day.
