So what’s the verdict? Who watched the debut of Nollywood star Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde‘s reality TV show, Omotola: The Real Me which premiered on AfricaMagic Entertainment.
Just before the premiere episode, a cocktail launch was held on Wednesday 5th December 2012 at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos. Draped in a floor length metallic plum backless Iconic Invanity frock, the 34 year old star proved she was the star of the night.
To support at the launch of the reality show were stars, personalities and socialites including IK Osakioduwa, Eku Edewor, Lynxxx, Jumai Shaba, Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi, Zizi Cardow, Bez, Toke Makinwa, Julius Agwu, Yvonne “Vixen” Ekwere and AY.
BN Buzz
Apart from the ambiance, attendees and the fashion highs and lows, here are some of the most buzzed about stories of the night.
Uti Nwachukwu proposes to Omotola – Ok calm down, BellaNaijarians it was only a joke. At the Cocktail Launch of Omotola: The Real Me, Big Brother Africa alum, Uti Nwachukwu jokingly proposed to Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde declaring his love for the star. Omotola, who arrived hand-in-hand with her better half, Captain Matthew Ekeinde, had a good laugh about the proposal, so did all attendees.
Whew, that’s a relief.
Femi Brainard & Uche Nwokocha Make First Public Appearance as a Couple - Nigerian actor, Femi Brainard made his first public appearance with his on-air-personality wife, Uche Nwokocha at the Omotola: The Real Me cocktail launch. The couple who had their traditional wedding last month were all smiles as they posed for BN Glam Cam. The couple are expected to have their white wedding in 2013 according to a source.

Who was the person saying the occasion was a flop? it looked well attended to me for a Reality Show. Apparently, the premiere is the most watched program ever on African Magic.. Well done OmoT
Shame go catch that Hater now! You see? Ah enemies!!! They ran ahead to talk trash but God has shamed them see? Well Attended by lovely people! Everyone having fun, All well dressed even the repeat offenders were looking well put together for once! And what’s more, JUST READ THAT IT’S RECORDED THE HIGHEST VIEWERSHIP RATING ON AFMAG! *Omosexy Winning!*
This Rukky Sanda’s face to feet contrast….totally uncool
Omotola is so pretty, it’s depressing. It’s almost like she is getting prettier by the day! Sigh
Mrs. Afe is not looking bad.
*wink*
Btw, isn’t this beach wear ??? http://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/IMG_1742.jpg
Olisa’s ”sendless” attitude is die!
dude just does not care.
Osas Ighodaro is Gorgeous!!
Yolanda Okereke ur supposed to be stylist, how dare u come to an event looking like u just came from the market
Saw few mins of the show and felt it was scripted , let’s see how itt goes shaa,
The show is definately scripted… Plus I don’t get why Omotola was “explaining” every 15 seconds… I won’t be keeping up wit omo-T. And she shuld keep her arms covered on TV as there is no photoshop to tone her flabby arms… They were all in my face
Hmm hater alert! It’s not the keeping up with OmoT show! You probably watched the wrong show! Everyone thinks she looked fab! Go with your badbelle self!
karen igbo abeg cover ur breast every pic on bella naija always show ur boob hanging like ara nwaenyi asaba. for all this naija women wey get unattractive s legs like rukky sandy wey her leg dey like dry firewood with spot please i dey beg u cover ur leg and min it is not made for u still u do something about ur leg for God sake u are a celebrity and i am pretty sure they pay u more than an average naija babe so look like one. and all this girls wey no fit maintain their own hair how u think say u go maintain another continent hair for ur head. abeg make una fit ur wig jooor!!
If I recall, someone on the other post said that no significant people attended this event, and that it was poorly attended. Who did you expect to see? Beyonce and JayZ? Nonsense.
Anyways…
Karin looks like a human being this time around. Keep it up.
Olisa Odibua just needs to go home and stay home.
Rukky, as you are “doing whatever it takes to maintain your skintone”, kindly include your mismatched legs to the equation.
Ariyike Akinbobola is so pretty.
Congrats to Omosexy. This woman just keeps getting hotter and hotter with age.
The point is Omotola is supposed to be an A list celebrity but none of the celebs there were of that calibre. All we had were M-net celebs which obviously M-net invited as it’s featuring on their platform- Karen, Uti, Eku, Ik etc.
For Omotola’s “calibre” we expected to see the who is who in the entertainment industry and even in the society sef.
She should take a cue from Rita Dominic
This woman is really beautiful,i have never seen an African woman this beautiful n young n is still married for the time that she has been married with those beautiful kids that she’d got,God has really bless u with a good husband.I just love everything about u,u hav got no match in nollywood.congrats Omosexy
Nice event.I see dat denrele finally changed his shoes for the first time….seems every body had fun
I dont understand what eku wore!!! You didnt hear “cocktail”??? Wtf!
Omotola is the most beautiful woman to have graced our screens, love the shot with Uti on his knees and she’s cracking up. You know a true beauty when she still looks beautiful with such laughter. I am literally obsessed.
Now who is this pls? http://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/IMG_1741.jpg
And those shoes
Ohh BN forgot to caption her name…that’s “Little Mermaid”. Sorry about that.
Actually my mistake, it’s “Rapunzel”.
Omotola needs to shed some pounds around her belly. Rukky sandra K ft X legs are so funny to look at lol
Shedders united… why dont you help her.
She is in her 40s and has 4kids, her tummy looks good for all of that. Goodness me!
I Çan’t bear Ít anymo®e! What is wrong with eku edewor? Every other person looks okay to me
Eku shows up to every damn event. what the hell is she even wearing? uhh please if u dont have nice clothes stay at home. Proper 9ja/ African babes dont dress like that. i actually like uti! he is HOT! and can DRESS! OMOTOLA is just everything to me. she is a well rounded woman pretty and a proper African MADAM
Ladies when your legs and other parts are full with pigmentation, blacks dots and pimples..please, don’t show it instead wear long or full cloth..echeeewwwwwwwwwwwww
Denrele was the entertainer of the night! He danced, screamed and made everyone laugh. As always, his friends were close…Karen and Ruki and he was introducing them around.
He told everyone to clap for him else their children would look like him. People didn’t waste time in clapping. P,s BN do you have his contacts? I need a friend like Denrele.
Bola Balogun..my crush!
I love the way they all looked. Now this is a classy matured crowd! No unnecessary tacky Red carpet, No silly and meaningless expose! Even Karen behaved herself! INFACT this is the best I’ve seen karen look!…I see some big wigs that Bella did not label? Amazing I see the MD of multichoice ! He does not attend events! This is the best I’ve seen Toke, denrele… The dudes came out too to play. See big boys. Lynx my man, exclusive,I.k,Ebuka…I’m so impressed! Smiled all through.
Congrats Omosexy ! Every one knows you’re always one to look out for! Keep soaring …you the Best.
OMG whats up with that photo of uti and lynxx..are they about to fight..loooooool
Yea dis is thE Best I’ve seen on karen+ who is trying to steal my ID..pls try and creat one mitchew
But Bola Balogun loves her pointy pointy shoes thou, Eeertime she must wear severely pointed heels. And then omotolas outfit to me suits dinner not cocktail lunch she still looked good thou with shape Berra than the Kim k’s of this world. Anyways the pics were fun to look through! Ps. Ebuka needs to stop wearing tight everythin (trousers), it’s not helping us ladies who are trying to focus on good thins jo!
Aww everyone seems to be having a good time. Seems they all had fun. Glamorous and easy. No fuss , I enjoyed viewing the pictures. I hear the show broke the record for the most viewed show on Africa magic!!! That’s cra! Congrats oh OmoT you keep raising a standards despite haters. Hahahaha.
Omosexyyyyyy! This woman No send . This is for me her greatest weapon. Extremely confident and focused. Breaking the Record for the most viewed show in just ONE DAY on the MOST VIEWED channel in Africa! Now that is massive! I know I’ll meet you someday and I’ll give you a bear hug! Lmao! Love you Omosexy. Nice launch too.
Wow, i just love Toke’s look from the hair to the shoes…very much On Point.
Congrats OmoT for ur show but I just feel ur outfit wasn’t the best choice
Karen, thks for covering up & looking decent…ur best so far
Rukky, what the hell happened to ur legs?? That’s such a HORRIBLE SIGHT
Lynxxx is one word! – Grown!
Bola Balogun: My favorite look. Boom!
Happy for you Aunty Omo T.
But how come none of the actors or actresses your calibre cam eout to support you.
Every Clooney has a Pitt.
Every Aniston has a Cox.
Just wondering….
Abeg let them not come. See how civil and glamorous the event was. If they came it would have been unecessary competition and pr people trying to save their client’s reputation by smearing other’s outfit and appearance! Etc…them for don distract and cheapen the subject matter.
I’m in this industry and know the null crap! Omotola is not in any cliques and is always on he’d own lane . Most of us behind the scences admire her for this! Great event .
Nice dressing, atleast no naked weapons. Thank God.
Congratulations omosexy
rukky just luks tacky nd uti ur shirt is 2 tight..
gbenro n uti look alike to a fault.u guys should better check if ur related or something.i get confused every time i watch tinsel…………………
BEZ IS ALL KINDS OF CUTE…. love him!!!
Tosyn Bucknor…just off the plane from Hawaii
No fellow actor? Really? Very few,and less known? I luv Eku style,she is one diva dat I luv to watch on TV or in Red carpet…..
My shugarrr lynxxx.. Can’t help but wait.. Sigh
AY lookin hawt…me likey!!
Am I just d only one that is so sick of seeing dis Uti and Ales Ekubo attend all d events in naija……gosh…..these peeps should just go off the scene for a while…..Haba!
they all look great, nice gathering it is with this beautiful people and congrats to omosexy,her show is the most talked about show every where, even the haters can help talk about it.
Omotola looks stunning on that dress,her fashion sense is always on point, no wonder she is on top in all she does.
Omotola looks smashing in this dress, she possess a kinda physique that wows every dress she puts on.
omotola’s hubby is really handsome far beyond what i imagined, lyxxxxxxxx i see you, denrele and the beautiful damsels with omotola taken the lead.
Hmmm yummy people, they all look good without the exemption of anybody, the launch was sure a success.
ehen, so this is the captain that has taken the heart of our beloved role model hmm, all we ask is that he continues to make her happy, wishing them more years together.
nice seeing tomi odunsi/shalewa. i love lynxx
Hmmm what a way to launch the show, saw the first edition and i must say that i am already looking up to the next edition.
they are all glowing, radiating love and happiness. muahhhhhhh to them all, i must say this, omotola’s hubby is really fine.
Gbenro Ajibade is just the finest guy on TV right now as far as i’m concerned. He’s just too much. Hot chocolate. Congrats to Omo T. Osas is fiiine. Toke looks good, though i don’t understand the excess breast showing. As for y’all asking for other actors, well we all know that Omo T isn’t in any clique, so it’s no surprise…
