Women need one another and once in a while, it is important they get together to celebrate themselves. That was the aim of the Women Celebrating Women Conference on Saturday 15th June 2013 at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Although some gentlemen including Praiz, Jay Jay Okocha, Efe Tommy and Musa Danjuma were in attendance, it was the women that stole the show in their stylish outfits.
