It was fun all the way . It was the Ovation magazine's annual red
ball carol, which held last Friday in Lagos. Unlike previous years,
this edition was accompanied with an award ceremony.
Tit bits
Rotimi Amaechi was here
The Rivers State governor was the only governor in attendance at the ball .
He did have a fun filled time and departed shortly after presenting
an award to the former Minister of Power, Professor Barth Nnaji.
Funmi Iyanda's new look
The broadcaster was at the event looking very different-she wore a low
afro hair style. Even her choice of dress screamed bohemian. Her
jewellery? It was Grecian inspired.
Deji Adeleke backs Davido

Timi Dakolo, the 'survivor'
The talented singer who won the maiden edition of West African Idols
came with his wife, Busola. He had cause to thank God.
On December 15, he was rumoured to have been on board the naval
helicopter that crashed and killed the Kaduna State governor, Patrick
Yakowa and five others.
Almost everybody greeted Timi and thanked God on his behalf.
Afterwards, he performed one of his songs, which earned him a standing
ovation.
