As already anticipated, the bubbly city of Lagos was completely shut down on Sunday, July 27, when the maiden edition of Express Star Awards (ESA) held amid glitz, glamour and grandeur with A-List entertainers, celebrities and leading Nigerians from different walks of life in attendance.

The well-attended event that was celebrated alongside the third anniversary of the nation’s hottest and most sought after tabloids, Entertainment Express and Sunday Express was graciously and professionally anchored by leading Nollywood actor and voice over guru, Segun Arinze.

In fact, not even the heavy downpour that lasted for over two hours could stop celebrities and other invited guests from trooping into upscale Coliseum Events Centre, venue of the double celebrations, situated in the heart of Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos.

The over-subscribed event that saw elated guests and fans of EE/SE coming from all parts of the country, officially kicked off with the black carpet/cocktail sessions at exactly 5.p.m.

SHOWBIZPLUSng gathered that the massive carpet supplied by Abelinis-The Project Intelligent Company afforded stars and guests, (fans) the rare opportunity to mingle and take photographs together without inhibitions.
