“Why We Wore What We Wore”, AMVCA’S Worst Dressed

Published

on

The much awaited African magic viewers choice awards took place at the Eko Hotel & Suites over the weekend, and has left behind numerous talks about he event, the winners and most especially the outfits our darling celebrities graced the occasion with.

With lots of designer outfits on display, fashion hits and miss,some celebrities have generated much more buzz than their counterparts. The trio of Susan Peters, Denrele Edun, and Ali Baba have been the butt of so many jokes, fortunately for us, the celebrities have plenty to say in their defense. Susan Peters whose “mosquito net like” dress was designed by  celebrity clothier, Toyin Lawani, said she wore the outfit to stand out.
“They thought they could bury us. They didn’t know we are seeds…#Doroisityourmoney? I AM NOT CREATED TO BLEND IN… I AM CREATED TO STAND OUT!!! IF THE KITCHEN IS TOO HOT MBOK EXIT THE BUILDING.Only people with High Fashion Sense Can Understand. Still thanking my glam squad @tiannahsplacempire @bibyonce@ugomakeme God go bless una plenty … to everyone supporting the ministry GGMYABIJN Amen. Who can hurt those who have God’s covering? None at all…
Ali Baba favoured a traditional attire which people termed as inappropriate for the event. He blamed the popular consensus on lack of cultural values;
“Trust you had a great weekend. I did. And had been looking forward to sharing something with you. So, I have also Been looking for a clear picture of me that was taken at the #AMVCA … The closest I could come upon is this courtesy @NET… But it’s not about the picture itself. It was about someone who claims to be a Fashion Critic…… who made a comment that I thought I should harp on. She said, “Bros, didn’t you get the invite? It said ‘black tie’ “… herself and a few of her fashion buffs had a laugh at my expense. So I let the laugh settle down and I asked, did you read the part that said “black tie or Glamorous?” I then saw one of them quickly bring her card holder invite holder out, read the dress code portion and shoved it back in the case. The dumbest of the four, who is also on television, said something like, but this is not glamorous. So I pointed at Kunle Afolayan, who was decked in AGBADA. And she was sucked in to my trick. “Eheeeeen! That is glamorous.” Her cronies agreed. So I dropped my joker. ‘Really? So it’s only the traditional attire from the YORUBA or Hausa speaking part of Nigeria that is glamorous? Is that what you were taught in school? Or is that the position of your media house? Or is that all your knowledge about fashion availed you? May be you are TRIBALISTIC. May be you think AFRICANS must look like a white man to be glamorous! May be you have no values! By the way, I thought this was an AFRICAN magic viewers’ choice awards (notice the capital letters)? At this point, 2 of them started that line that signals they had gotten the message… “Bros you are correct, but you know we were just teasing you. HABA! Can’t you take a joke?” My point was made and I walked off. The problem we have in this country is not totally our government’s failures. It is also the failure of many of us to know what is important to us as AFRICANS and what we should value in our culture. ATTIRE for journalist WEY no recognize glamorous ATTIRE. As for any journalist that thinks dressing in my traditional outfit meant for special occasions is not glamorous, please check a dictionary and revert! #broadcasters #fashionPolice#AfricanCulture #UrhoboAttir”
Channel O presenter, Denrele Edun, whose attire got the most backlash admits that he went a little overboard,
“It is 24-carat gold and I just looked at it and I said to myself, ‘why not strut out something that reeks of the statuette?’ and I wanted to look like a statuette tonight. I know I went a bit overboard with it. I mean my back is all in the open and I am hot. I do not know how you ladies do it. My back is so sweaty that I had to tell everyone who wants to hug me to put their hand on my butt instead of my back. It is quite difficult to maneuver as well but this is what I’m going to rock the after party with.”

There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.

According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.

 

Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.

 

Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.

 

“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.

 

Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.

 

Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.

 

 

_More details in due course…_
