The Vanguard Personality of the Year Awards, which held penultimate Friday night, at the Eko Hotel and Suites, saw dignitaries from all walks of life in attendance. Entertainment celebrities were not left out. They turned out in their elegant and glamorous outfits to grace the event.

 The entertainers who were all excited to be at the event took turns on the red carpet posing for the cameras. 
The event was a great one and I had a nice time – Rita Dominic Speaking about the event, Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic, who stepped out looking as stylish and classy as ever in a sexy black outfit, said the award ceremony was commendable. “I like what Vanguard does. Though I’m used to attending award platforms for entertainers and artistes, coming out of that box to attend this has shown that Nigerians are trying and that people are doing well in their various fields. 

The event was a great one and I had a nice time. I hope to be here again next year again – Ejiro Okurame On her part, beautiful thespian, Ejiro Okurame, said “I’m glad to be part of this edition. Vanguard is a prestigious national daily that has impacted greatly on the country. The award is very credible because they take out time to choose the best. 

The recipients have really laboured tirelessly for this country. I also thank Uncle Sam, the publisher – it’s not easy for someone of his age to put an event of this magnitude together. It’s a nice award and I hope to be here again next year.” It’s avenue for us to know what the government has for us – Doris Simeon Pretty screen diva, Doris Simeon, commended the organisers while advocating for a platform where the masses can meet with leaders. “The award is a very good one and it’s also an avenue for us to know what the government has for us. I would like a platform like this to be created where we can say our minds. I really commend the organisers for a work well done.” I’m using this medium to call on the president to help alleviate sufferings of the masses – 

Cossy Orjiakor As usual, voluptuous actress, Cossy Orjiakor, who was also present, didn’t disappoint. She turned up in a black net gown that struggled to hold her boobs in place. “The award is really nice. I want to appreciate Uncle Sam for his continued efforts. I also commend the recipients. But I want to say that even though our president is dealing with corrupt politicians, the truth is that things are really tough and the poor masses are suffering because they are affected most.

 I’m using this medium to call on the president to help alleviate the sufferings of the masses,” she said. The recipients should go back and do more —Imelda J. Pretty singer, Imelda J, also gave her impression about the event. In her words: “ I’m highly impressed and for the award recipients, it was a well deserved honour. Like Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state said, it’s a challenge. 

So the recipients should go back and do more. It will also motivate others to work harder. The award is therefore both a challenge and an honour.” Other movie stars in attendance include Jude Orhiorha, Kehinde Bankole, Mary Lazarus, Tamara Eteimo, Mercy MCJoe, Ijeoma Imoh, Bukky Fagbuyi, Jadesola, Princess Chineke, Ruth Eze, and many others.
