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.
