Mehn Annie is enjoying lol Tuface looking so dapper!

http://dprodigalchild.wordpress.com/
as if you know what was on my mind! 2face is rocking that nice sharp suit.
and d’banj’s socks are super fly. dolapo oni is a babe with that bag. aina davies is too gbaski. nice clean event all around.
I don’t like Alexander Amosu 4anytn. Am pissed wit him dat I wanted 2liv ds page plss BN I hop ds is not d beginin of more of him in ur posted pics cos I will b so out of ds blog. He is my 4ma boss anyway n I tort he said he hates events like ds….*still greenin wit ENVY*
Eh, he looks good but a singlet would have completed his look. Those curly chest hairs peeping out are not just it at all.
was thinking the same… very dapper!
As innnnnnn! Tubaba is some serious eye candy men! Cute for dayssssssss! Annie hol’ am well o!
congrats nneka
does Olisa want to strangle Nneka in the last pic tho?
lolllll 🙂
y would they be calling mo’hits hype man a guest, what insult, its a pity i just don’t know his name. Rubbish
His name is Special Ed

Vixen, vixen, vixen how many times did I call u??? U no dey carry last at all….no party wey u no dey go,.. Tu Baba is luking smashing…same applies 2 ikechukwu too but Dbanj is way too skiny 4 a man now..
These pictures make me want to be home! I love every time Nneka is featured. She seems so real and down to earth. Thanks BN.
Nneka is so looking young nd pretty and she doesn’t even give a fuzz abt it, with amazing talent as well,unlike sum talentless artist who have been so awash with so much media faux,wonder wat he is even doing dere .why is her soul sister Asa not dere??
I love Nneka, from her name to her music to her style to her hair. This lady is just amazing and Babatunde is some serious eye candy
do they have to wear sunglasses indoors ??
No they dont (hope you dont mind if I jump on your comment?!)
Aina Davies makes me want to buy a ‘thingy-majigy’ and put it round my head while D’banj’s socks is just too adorable, reminds me of my toes socks I use to go to bed.
Shabi the event looked nice?
Aina Davie’s outfit is dope.

Na wa for dbanjs multicolored socks o..
that’s what’s up. grab your next GQ magazine and see what’s poppin
DAMN… 2face looks creme… shoes, everything on point. fashion murder for real. and why does k-switch look… ????????
Ikechukwu who died and made u barney? green and purple? Nneka needs a stylist. Fine she is Neo soul, but nooooooooooooooooooo!
HAHAHAH @ who died and made you Barney!! Lol! Nneka looks somewhat like Angelina Jolie. Look well na, isnt it true?
Na so GBAM she has some angelia jolie features o d lips i luv dem.
1 word- babatunde
My dear! no be only you oh!
Olisa Adibua,na wetin nah??????? ABeg,get a stylist.Tuface,best Dressed..
Dbanj,color-blocked socks.Lolzzz*
Bush baby Evann, you never see dat kain socks before? Obviously, you don’t know great style. Smh.
Aina Davies… You are not a Mormon then?? Why wear your religion to such an event? I think you would look back at these pics a few years down the line and squirm with shame.
FYI the whole point of the burka is to hide your modesty. Hiding your neck and hair, then contrasting that look with skin tight clothes really screams attention seeker. Enjoy!
I disagree with your comment. What is skin tight in a maxi skirt and white rolled up long sleeves top? Why would she squirm with shame? Were you expecting her to come out in over sized clothing? I looked through these photos and had to go back and take a second look to find the person you were talking about. Abeg live and let live o.
marvel is a hater oshi…aina can wear whatever she wants. who died and made you fashion police?! and her clothes are fitted not tight. there’s a difference.
Marvel is just a Hater. Aina looks elegant, gorgeous and classy.
@ Marvel, it seems like there is an insect picking at your brain.What a daft remark
you are so stupid with you statement, not everyone is like you that their religion is only for one day of the week, some people’s lives is their religion and belief, and do not feel the need to hide it or compromise it because they are going somewhere, all in the name of fitting in….i doubt if she is really comfortable in her beliefs, she will squirm at anything…..its YOU that has a problem with her religion, she seems fine with it….the girls showing all their body should be the ones squirming…go and have a seat!
Love love Funke’s dress. 2face looking sharper now. loads of well dressed peeps.

I beg where una due? Come comment o. Meanwhile, Ikechukwu please eat some beef. That pose wey d-banj and ikechukwu do, na wa o.

Pls bellanaija can we have a wedding feature..its been over a month already! Is it fair?
You people always asking for wedding features,there are other websites that focus solely on weddings.I don’t know the websites but google sugaweddings and Munlauchi brides.
Send your own wedding pix.
Hehehe@ send your own wedding pix..abi?!
Too many tight trousers, Killz, DBanj n his brother had to put their hands in the pockets to hide the protruding ‘organs’
lmao lik mad . tight pants aint for evryone naa. nd if u hav too u pls dnt put on boxers put on knickers (lol) or PANT as in pata to press t dinggaling mbok. cos its disgusting seein dose tins nd assumin d pocket hole is too long
Wow! Rick Ross was invited? lol! What’s up with D’Banj’s socks? Na wa oh! I see he borrowed Kanye’s necklace lol
@ honey, I agree, but we’d like to see Bella’s*****. CONGRATULATIONS Bella – had been a bit premature earlier. Wish you the very best of the years.
ohhh! this Nneka looks like one of those people that takes the I AM AFRICAN or HALF AFRICAN thing seriously! Relax! can she wear better clothes? im not saying she should be extravagant but she shudnt look like this! she can be minimalist and chic at the SAME TIME!
Wish her all the best!

Dbanj…. Nice.. Ralph Lauren Shoe…
lool, ilove the chic with the blackdress …does she have a name?
Olisa Adibua -_- WTH are u wearing? look at ur jeans!! ur black dead shirt and red inner shirt?? Look at the leg of ur jeans! Do u have a mirror at home? Cuz somebody lied!
@Aston: looooooooooooooool. u sound like a nagging mother. i like ur comment.loooooooooool
Joan Rivers needs to see the felony Olisa has committed…………….. like WTH???
Dolapo Oni looks 40! babe, reveal your true age and step off your heels, you would be so invisible! Vixen borrows again! this time a full outfit and hand bag, like seriously, cant you just wear what you have for once? Oh truue, you have nothing! toolz needs a skin wash and honestly, she is best for radio. she hosted the Loud and proud show and was a total failure. Guess she’s dating Ngozi! Dbanj, 2face and followers look ok. Data Okorodudu looks awesome, Nneka is just divine……all the industry babes need to take cues from her!
nneka would have difficulty selling her album to nigerians……………most nija and africans are now into afro hip hop……
too much going on with yvonne’s appearance. I don’t like it.
Beautiful people!! That’s what I am talking about, no need to dress like a Christmas to be well dressed, less is more!!!! The girl in the LBD with gold shoes looks ravishing. Love Dolapo Oni look as well; perfect layering and accessories. As for the guys, D’banj, 2Face, and Ikon look absolutely yummy!!!!!!!!!Sorry I am short of words to describe their cuteness 🙂
Babatunde’s body is everything though
Yvonne always look hard as a rock. She always looks like she’s trying too hard to strike a pose, dress up etc.
You rarely see D’Banj at events. I really like him for making himself exclusive. That’s what adds to him to being a megastar and puts him above many celebrities in Nigeria. Genevieve is similar to D’Banj in that regard. I also like Don Jazzy, he appears relatable but makes himself too available. I don’t even see Wande at events as much.
Emm…as in Genevieve hardly attends events? Lol…..Sydney ! You well so? The event no mc? S there any event you have not seen genny?except she wasn’t invited?….
Bukki Thank u.She is just calmn down abge genny attends evnts like mad the person not dat am comparing them o but the prson dat hardly attends is omotola but when she does gongo will so.
Beautiful people!! That’s what I am talking about, no need to dress like a Christmas tree to be well dressed, less is more!!!! The girl in the LBD with gold shoes looks ravishing. Love Dolapo Oni look as well; perfect layering and accessories. As for the guys, D’banj, 2Face, Babatunde and Ikon look absolutely yummy!!!!!!!!!Sorry I am short of words to describe their cuteness
Damn 2 face is just to fine!

http://www.frances-diaries.blogspot.com
Okay event. Did rita Ora sample her song? Not a fan of her music but I like her simplicity. Goodluck.
Babatunde is beautiful…
Vixen tries tooooo hard! I have constantly seen no personality…….Please Madam Vixxx, you need a stylist asap! Dbanj looks amazing….Nneka looks tacky, she needs a stylist. Atleast find one that understands your style and taste.
Dbanj and tuface are my favourites. they look so fly. I’m really rooting for Dbanj tho, keep the flag flying lurve
2face was looking cute
tuface…on point! lovin those shoes
I didn’t know Men could color block too. oh well, Ikechukwu set the pace or?
good looking out everyone
NNeka is always inspiring. The Music and effortless radiance.

2. Dolapo Oni looks very different here, I didn’t recognize her initially
3. Olisa Adibua: that stance…… >_<
4. For a second there that Babatunde guy looked like my boss. I was just about to shout, must be the egg-head. He looks yummy though.

LOL, I have sister Toolz necklace but wait ooo, does it mean if someone is a celeb, they can’t shop where everyone else shops. Yes, that is Primark and I see no wrong. It’s just a costume piece.
