One thing that you don’t miss at Encomium’s parties is the ‘jollification’. They ensure that there are more music than talk and people dances freely. It is what you can call more music, less talk. Honestly, I have attended some parties in the past that would be more like a symposium than a party. This is because some organizers would keep inviting people to talk.www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com promise to post more photos from the event later.

Uche Jombo is looking swell...nice 1. Betty Irabo (i hope i got the spelling right) is ever looking and dressing ageless. The lady with some tatoo on her ankle area looks okay. Uche Iwuji has gained some serious weight, i guess it is evidence of good living. ENCOMIUM is on some serious level

ReplyDeletehello niyi, well done! Nice pics but guys honestly do u think st kenny's outfit portray her as a good Christian. She has to be careful & not 2 b carried away by wot is 'hip' and wot is not
ReplyDeleteWTH happened 2 Uche Iwuji?!
ReplyDeleteshe swallow pesin?lol....That girl really needs to go far away from the press/public events for a while..her interviews and pictures r not helpn her atallllll.
Nma
Wtf is wrong with Uche iwuji!? What the hell happened to her? Why is she gaining so much weight at such a short period of time? She looks really weird!
ReplyDelete@ AYO BADMUS - HE FINALLY CHANGED THOSE GLASSES, THANK GOD!!!!!
ReplyDelete@PIC 12, LADY IN RAINBOW PANTS AND BAG...WHAT THE EFF???!!!!
@NIKE PELLER - WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH DEM SHOES?!!!!
You did a great as usual Niyi. You all look like you had a fun time. Everyone looked fly, not too shaby at all. BTW Niyi, either you have something with Uche Iwuji or you have got a stalker on your hands my friend. I don't remember the last time I saw her in a movie, but she seems to show up wherever you camera is flashing. And why is she so bloated?!
ReplyDeleteHello Niyi,
ReplyDeleteI usually check out your blog for updates on Naija infotainment and I am sure entertained every time. I just want to make a suggestion to enhance your blog.It is as follows:
Could you try to put the names of people close to their pictures especially when the redaer does not know them before e.g your latest posting has all the names in the upper part and the pictures in the lower part. One will have to scroll up, look at the name, scroll down to get the picture etc which is exhausting(lol) on a good blog like yours.
uche jumbo is looking nice ... is uche iwuji pregnant...na wah... anonymous 7 .. i do agree with your suggestion as per the names close to the pictures
ReplyDeletewendu
@3rd anonymous- what are you on about. So because shes a christian, she should wear sacks. Im sure you think xtian ladies shouldnt wear trousers, shes looking mighty fine and theres nothing wrong with her outfit, abeg!
