FNO 2012




FNO as it is called is short for ‘Fab Night Out’ and It’s organized by the same peeps who own one of the most beautiful, well put together magazine I have come across home and abroad – FAB Magazine.

Well, in its 3rd season, FNO crew brought out some of Nigeria’s finest from the world of entertainment, fashion & lifestyle and of course business to the landmark Village, Oniru, Lagos, Nigeria, on Sunday, November 2nd, 2012 to witness the winners of the night.

The entrance had the black carpet where artiste and guests were interviewed and as soon they get into the hall, there were treated to cocktail by one of the sponsors Jack Daniels.

 The well mannered Usherettes from Zapphire Events were well dressed in shinny black dresses and i observed they attended to guests politely ushering them to their tables. 

Like almost every Award ceremony in Nigeria, the event started QUIET LATE but I’m kinda sure the organizers made up by giving guests a night to remember.

The Hall was really FAB and space was well used. The stage had a semblance of a run-way, making the venue look totally glam starting from the entrance.

Anyways, need I bore you with much talk; here is a list of the winners of the night (Nominees inclusive).

Dear wonderful Reader,

I am probably the laziest blogger (I guess it’s why you haven’t seen ads on here), so please pardon what I’m about to do.

“Me, Myself and I” went for Evaezi’s Unplugged at SWE Bar & Lounge in November, and for whatever reason (s) I refused to share the pictures and thoughts on the event. Do forgive me.

Below is what I wrote about the event and of course a few pictures I took. Enjoy.

Yours truly,

Lamii Opere

 
It was a beautiful night as peeps gathered to enjoy their night out courtesy Evaezi.  

For this event I kinda feel people came out that because Evaezi was unpredictable and if she promises fun, fun you’d get.

“Typical “, African time was observed but that was forgotten as soon as Evaezi stepped on the mic spotting a beautiful black dress. She stated the rule of the day which was absolute attention to stage business (everything happening on stage).

Well, it wasn’t long the other guest artistes came on to give us their piece: Dolapo, The Truth, Debby, Ese Peters, Mtrill…  

 I got a few pictures irrespective of the cameraman who kept blocking from the angle I seated. Ok, that’s not exactly a good excuse for nearly-bad pictures. Trust me, you’ll thank me for them *wink*

Let's check 'em out...
