We all know the tale of St Valentine... The priest in Roman times performing marriages for soldiers who were forbidden from marrying, he also ministered to Christians before he was tortured and killed on February 14th.
As with a lot of the religious holidays Valentine’s Day is widely considered to have been hijacked by big business-- you know, Hallmark cards, chocolate, and of course companies that produce all that lovely bubbly. The western world has become more and more cynical about Valentine’s Day.
Here at home though Valentine’s is still a big deal, probably because culturally we are

PRINCE TERRY UCHE OMORODION 40TH BIRTHDAY BASH
MTN CORPORATE ELITE NIGHT OF CONCERT
On the 25th of January 2014 the poolside of the Eko Hotel and Suites was transformed into a Moroccan themed night and brought to a standstill as MD of Hensmor Oil and Gas Limited Prince Terry Uche Omorodion, son of The Odunuoba of Benin Kingdom Chief Dr. H.H Omorodion and Barrister Philomena Omorodion celebrated his 40th birthday party.
Prince Terry Uche was celebrated by his lovely wife Ebele Marie Omorodion, their 3 adorable children Sean, Isabella, Salina Omorodion and his beautiful sisters and their husbands.
Some of the highlights of this memorable night included beautiful belly dancers from Lebanon, live performance by the very talented Flavour, Prudence Live Band and comedy by Seyi Law.
This one-of-a-kind 40th birthday celebration which took place at the poolside of the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites was well attended by MDs of Oil and Gas companies, Bank EDs, royal fathers from the Benin Kingdom, artists like Dr. Sid and Nneka, Nollywood stars, celebrity entertainer Frank Edoho and many other distinguished personalities.
Towards the end of last year, Nigerians were literally flooded with a long list of musical concerts that stormed the ‘concert-sphere’. One of such concerts was the MTN Corporate Elite Nite which held at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, last December.
The glamorous event paraded a galaxy of evergreen stars on one stage and on one night. Indeed, the expectant guests were not disappointed from the outset of the event as they were entertained with thrilling performances of evergreen Tevin Campbell, Billy Ocean, Joe, Mafikizolo, Maxi Priest, Awilo Logomba, JT of Kool and The Gang – on one stage.
Captains of industry and corporate executives such as Ben Murray-Bruce, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, Charles Novia, Caroline Danjuma, amongst many other VIPs and business moguls were present. Everyone threw care to the wind as each of them sang and danced in ecstatic remembrance of the ‘good old days’.
