May 16, (THEWILL) – The entertainment industry was agog on Sunday, May 9 when Nollywood actress, Iniobong Edo Ekim, professionally known as Ini Edo, had a triple celebration at the La Madison Place, Lekki. The event was staged to celebrate the actress, who is fondly called brown sugar 40, her 20 years in Nollywood and the unveiling of GEMS, Girls Empowerment and Mentorship Scheme.
On the day of the grand celebration, Ini treated her friends and family to a sumptuous dinner. Her entrance to the venue of the party was a grand one, befitting a queen. The backdrop on the stage parted into two, unveiling the beautiful actress while fireworks and light music heralded her entrance as she strolled majestically to the stage.
One of the highlights of the party was the presence of the celebrant’s mother, Mrs. Edo Ekim, who paid glowing tribute to her daughter while wishing her the good things of life that her heart longs for.
The event was well attended, with style icon, Uti Nwachukwu and Chioma Omeruah as the masters of ceremony. On the launch of Girls Empowerment Mentorship Scheme GEM which she unveiled at the party, Ini revealed that it was born out of her passion for the girl child. The actress believes when women are empowered, the nation is also empowered. As a strong advocate of women, most of the fundamental issues in the society are because the girl child is not well taken care of. If society pays close attention to her, she can help drive the change that is needed in the society, which is why the actress has been taking her advocacy and empowerment of the female gender very seriously.
