BN Exclusive: An In-depth Look at the Star-Studded 50th Birthday Celebration of Media Mogul, Mo Abudu
Mo Abudu’s 50th birthday celebration is one of the biggest events that has happened this year and even though BellaNaija brought you the first photos and details of the event (click here if you missed it), there is still so much more to be seen.
EbonyLife TV founder and ‘Moments with Mo’ host, Mo Abudu owned the whole day with an early morning church service and then an intimate brunch for family and friends. After this she stepped things up with the extravagant soiree held at Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
Mo used the opportunity of her birthday to also recognize hard-working and impactful women in Nigeria through the Sisterhood Awards.
The night was filled with jokes form host Basketmouth, dancing from several performances -from Tiwa Savage, Waje, Chidinma, Iyanya, Efya, Nikki Laoye, Chee and many more – as well as gorgeous décor with amazing food.
Take a look at all the stylish pictures from the event!
