Diiadem Celebrates 35th Birthday with Glamorous Lagos Celebration

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

Lagos stood still on Sunday night as beauty entrepreneur and influencer Adeola C. Adeyemi, popularly known as Diiadem, turned 35 in a celebration that was nothing short of spectacular. The CEO of Beauty by AD pulled out all the stops, treating guests — and the entire internet — to a night of luxury, glamour, and heartfelt giving that perfectly captured her journey from rising star to industry powerhouse.

From the moment the invites went out, it was clear this wasn’t going to be an ordinary birthday. The theme blended opulence with elegance, and Diiadem delivered not one, not two, but three show-stopping looks that had everyone talking. Styled by the talented Emmanuel Goodnews, each outfit told a different chapter of her story: grand entrance, cultural pride, and after-party fire.

Look 1: The Silver Siren

Diiadem opened the night in a breathtaking silver and nude illusion mermaid gown by Emagine By Bukola. The piece featured intricate beadwork, textured appliqué, long sheer sleeves, and a dramatic train that flowed like liquid metal under the lights. Paired with a sleek high bun and sparkling drop earrings, she looked every bit the queen marking a new era.

Look 2: The Crimson Queen

For her traditional moment, she switched into a deep crimson mermaid gown — also by Emagine By Bukola — dripping in red and gold sequins and embroidery. The sweetheart neckline, off-shoulder straps with cut-outs, and matching structured gele with ipele screamed regal Nigerian elegance. Bold berry lips and lashes completed the flawless traditional slay.

Look 3: The After-Party Princess

As the night moved into full celebration mode, Diiadem changed into a vibrant hot pink sequined mini dress by Styled By Layo. Green beaded patterns danced across the bodice, while long green fringe trailed from the hem, creating movement with every step. The short pinned-updo with soft waves and matching heels made it the ultimate fun, flirty closer.

The venue in Lagos was transformed into a luxe wonderland by planner @lh_events and decor team @decorhq_. Glowing lights, elegant setups, and a vibe that screamed “only the best” set the tone. But Diiadem didn’t just celebrate herself — in the days leading up to the big day, she quietly gave back to those in need, reminding everyone that true influence includes impact.

The guest list was a who’s-who of Nigerian entertainment and influence: Don Jazzy, Pretty Mike, Kiekie, Priscilla, Chioma, Mercy Eke, Tacha, and many more turned up in their finest, turning the party into an unofficial fashion runway. Videos of Kiekie bringing dance-floor energy and the star-studded arrivals flooded timelines, with hashtags #DiiademAmazing35 and #MyAmazing30Plus5 trending hard.

Diiadem’s 35th wasn’t just a birthday — it was a statement. A celebration of growth, success, beauty, and generosity. The Beauty by AD boss has built an empire, and last night she reminded us why she remains one of the most admired women in the game.

Happy 35th, Diiadem! You delivered an unforgettable night. Here’s to more chapters, more slays, and more impact.

Yoga & Money Meet-Up: Heirs Insurance Group and United Capital Empower Ambitious Women with Wellness and Wealth Strategies in Lagos

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

In a unique fusion of self-care and smart financial planning, Heirs Insurance Group and United Capital Plc recently hosted an intimate “Yoga & Money Meet-Up” for a select group of ambitious women in Lagos. The exclusive event, held at the Happiness Center, blended guided yoga, breathwork, and stress-management sessions with expert discussions on insurance, investments, and asset protection.

The initiative highlighted the deep connection between personal wellbeing and financial security, reinforcing both organizations’ commitment to making financial wellness more relevant and accessible to Nigerian women who balance demanding careers, businesses, and family responsibilities.

Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu, Chief Marketing Officer at Heirs Insurance Group, emphasized the holistic approach during the event. “Self-care is not just about indulgence; it is about making deliberate choices that safeguard one’s physical, mental, and financial well-being – and insurance is fundamental to that,” she said. “For many women juggling careers, businesses, and family, this event addresses a significant pain-point: how we protect our assets while still juggling life.”

She introduced Heirs Insurance Group’s innovative HerMotor insurance plan, tailored specifically for ambitious female car owners. The comprehensive coverage protects against accidents, fire, theft, and other unforeseen incidents, while offering 24/7 emergency roadside assistance in partnership with AA Rescue. Policyholders also enjoy a robust rewards programme, including discounts on spas, wellness programmes, and more – making it the first-of-its-kind solution in the Nigerian insurance industry.

Dr. Odiri Oginni, Managing Director of United Capital Asset Management, echoed the empowerment theme. “Empowerment is at the core of what we do, and co-creating on an initiative that directly addresses the financial realities facing Nigerian women further emphasises this,” he noted. “We recognise that financial independence and personal wellness are deeply interconnected, and by creating opportunities that bring both together, we are reinforcing our commitment to empowering women to confidently pursue and achieve their dreams.”

Dr. Oginni also spotlighted United Capital’s Wealth for Women Fund, designed to provide women with secure, accessible avenues to invest smartly and build long-term financial security.

The Yoga & Money Meet-Up reflects a shared vision between the two leading financial institutions to equip Nigerian women with both the tools for inner peace and the knowledge for lasting wealth protection. Heirs Insurance Group, a subsidiary of the pan-African investment powerhouse Heirs Holdings, continues to expand its retail and digital offerings across Nigeria. United Capital Plc, a fast-growing Pan-African investment bank with operations in Nigeria, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire, is recognised by the Financial Times as one of Africa’s fastest-growing companies for three consecutive years.

Through collaborations like this, both firms are redefining financial services by placing women’s holistic success at the centre.

Veekee James Looks That Show Why Osas Ighodaro Is the Ultimate Muse

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

Nollywood star Osas Ighodaro continues to prove why she is the ultimate muse for celebrated fashion designer Veekee James. Their creative partnership has produced some of the most talked-about red carpet and event looks in recent years — from sculptural masterpieces at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) to opulent custom pieces for private celebrations.

Veekee James is renowned for her signature corsetry, architectural silhouettes, and intricate detailing. Osas, with her poised presence and flawless ability to carry heavy, structured garments, brings every design to life without ever being overshadowed. Whether on international premieres or Lagos soirées, the duo consistently delivers show-stopping moments that dominate fashion conversations.

Here are five unforgettable Veekee James looks that highlight why Osas Ighodaro remains the designer’s go-to muse:

“3 Cold Dishes” London World Premiere (Burnt Orange Sequin Gown)

At the London premiere of the film 3 Cold Dishes, Osas stunned in a burnt orange sequin gown featuring delicate silver embroidery and subtle green accents on the sheer, flowing sleeves. The dramatic thigh-high slit and sweeping train added movement and elegance, perfectly complemented by a matching clutch and clear heels. This look showcased Veekee’s mastery of bold colour and luxurious texture on an international stage.

Veekee James’ 30th Birthday Soirée (Champagne Gold Crystal Mermaid Gown)

Honouring her designer and friend, Osas wore a breathtaking champagne gold mermaid gown completely covered in sparkling crystal embellishments. The sheer corset bodice cinched the waist, while dramatic ivory shell-shaped shoulder pieces created a sculptural, ethereal effect. It was a heartfelt, opulent tribute to their bond and one of the most memorable fashion moments of the night in Lagos.

2025 AMVCA Red Carpet (Mother Earth Gown)

For the 2025 AMVCA, Veekee James and Osas delivered a literal ode to nature. The gown featured layered shades of green, brown, and grey, outlined with golden-brown beads mimicking tree rings. Mushroom-like appliqués adorned the skirt, and a twig-like brace rose from the back to form a natural crown silhouette above the head. The thematic creativity and flawless execution made it one of the most viral looks of the awards season.

2024 AMVCA Red Carpet (Caramel and Black Sculptural Mermaid Gown)

Osas turned heads in a caramel and black mermaid gown defined by bold geometric black stripes that followed the body’s curves before flaring into a dramatic skirt. Looping black wire structures framed the neck and shoulders, adding an avant-garde edge. The stark contrast and precise tailoring highlighted Veekee’s ability to blend structure with sensuality.

#LoveUnbeaten24 Wedding (Deep Forest Green Draped Gown)

At Veekee James’ wedding celebration in Lagos, Osas shone in a deep forest green draped gown with cold-shoulder detailing, a sweetheart neckline, and a midsection richly weighted with gold beads and sequins. A beaded lace overlay with pearl accents trailed into a side panel, finished with a low-styled headwrap and gold statement earrings. The look was the perfect blend of elegance and cultural richness.

Osas Ighodaro herself has publicly embraced the muse role, posting, “I said Yes!!!! ✨✨✨ …to being @veekeejames_official muse.” Their ongoing collaboration — spanning multiple AMVCA appearances, high-profile events, and personal milestones  continues to inspire fashion lovers across Nigeria and beyond.

From Lagos to London, Veekee James and Osas Ighodaro are redefining what it means to be a designer-muse power duo. Every look is not just clothing, it’s a statement, a story, and a celebration of African fashion excellence.

Nollywood star Jide Kene Achufusi, popularly known as Swanky JKA, has set hearts racing after unveiling his stunning pre-wedding photos with his partner, Ifeoma. The couple, who are set to tie the knot later this year under the hashtag #JideIfe26, treated fans to a series of elegant portraits that perfectly blend tradition, style, and undeniable chemistry.

In the photos, the 34-year-old actor cuts a dashing figure in a forest green Agbada adorned with tonal embroidery, paired with a sleek black beaded cap and polished brown Oxfords.

The 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) has set the Nollywood stage ablaze with its nominations, announced on March 29, 2026. While every category promises fireworks, the Best Lead Actress race stands out as one of the most fiercely contested in recent memory. Eight exceptional women, spanning veteran powerhouses, established screen queens, and breakout talents — have been nominated for their transformative performances in 2026’s biggest films.

From Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman’s layered portrayal in The Serpent’s Gift to Genoveva Umeh’s gripping turn in the multi-nominated thriller The Herd, these actresses are not just competing; they are redefining what it means to carry a story on screen. The AMVCA ceremony is scheduled for May 9, 2026, and voting is already underway.

Here are the eight nominees who have Nollywood talking:

1. Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman – The Serpent’s Gift (Directed by Kayode Kasum)

The versatile star earns her Best Lead Actress nod for a deeply emotional performance exploring grief, resilience, and family legacy in Eastern Nigeria. Ejiofor-Suleiman is having a banner year, also picking up a Best Supporting Actress nomination for The Herd — making her one of the most decorated names on the list.

2. Bimbo Akintola – To Kill a Monkey

Veteran actress Bimbo Akintola brings her signature intensity and nuance to this highly anticipated project, reminding audiences why she remains one of Nollywood’s most respected leading ladies.

3. Ifeoma Fafunwa – The Lost Days

Theatre powerhouse and filmmaker Ifeoma Fafunwa delivers a compelling lead performance that has critics praising her raw authenticity and emotional range.

Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman and Ifeoma Fafunwa bridge both worlds with their proven track records and fearless choices.

The #SMEARIT Campaign Ignites Nationwide Advocacy For Cervical Cancer Prevention And Early Detection

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

In a country where cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women, a bold, fun, and powerful movement is changing the narrative. The #SMEARIT Campaign, spearheaded by the Exquisite Magazine Cancer Care (EMAC) Foundation, is lighting up social media feeds and communities across Nigeria, turning awareness into action and saving lives through early detection and prevention.

Cervical cancer is preventable. Yet, every year, thousands of Nigerian women are diagnosed, with many losing their lives due to late detection. According to the World Health Organisation, over 300,000 women die globally from this disease annually, the majority in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria where access to screening and vaccination remains a challenge. The culprit? Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). But here’s the good news: with HPV vaccination, regular screening (Pap smears, HPV testing, or Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid – VIA), and timely treatment of pre-cancerous cells, cervical cancer can be stopped in its tracks.

Enter the #SMEARIT Campaign – a creative, stigma-busting initiative that has been igniting nationwide advocacy since its launch.

Founded by Dr. Tewa Onasanya, the driving force behind Exquisite Magazine and the EMAC Foundation, the campaign uses a simple yet unforgettable challenge to get everyone talking: Smear lipstick on your face, snap a photo or video, post it on social media with #SMEARIT, tag @emac_cervicalcancerfoundation, and challenge your friends to do the same. Men are encouraged to join the movement too –by holding up a #SMEARIT sign – because prevention is everyone’s business.

“Cervical cancer is preventable, yet too many women lose their lives due to late detection. Through this free screening initiative and the #SmearIt campaign, we are encouraging women to get screened, learn about HPV prevention, and spread awareness. Early detection saves lives,” says Dr. Tewa Onasanya.

The campaign has partnered with brands like Amali Cosmetics to offer free cervical cancer screenings in key areas such as Jakande, Lagos, especially around Cervical Cancer Awareness Month (January) and World Cancer Day (February 4). These efforts include education sessions, HPV vaccination drives, and on-ground screenings that have already reached thousands of women. The goal? To normalise conversations, break down myths (no, it doesn’t only affect certain women, and screening isn’t painful or scary), and make prevention accessible nationwide.

How You Can Join the #SMEARIT Movement Today:

Smear your lipstick (or hold the sign if you’re a guy) and take a fun selfie or video.

Post it with #SMEARIT and tag @emac_cervicalcancerfoundation.

Challenge 5–10 friends to join – the more, the merrier!

Visit www.smearitafrica.com to find screening centres near you, book a free or low-cost test, or learn more about the HPV vaccine.

Whether you’re in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, or any corner of the country, your small action creates a powerful ripple. Awareness leads to screening. Screening leads to early detection. Early detection saves lives – and entire families.

Cervical cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With #SMEARIT, Nigeria is rising to eliminate it.

Small action. Powerful impact. Cervical cancer is preventable.

Ruth Kadiri’s Style Evolution: From Sustainable Denim Rebellion to Burgundy Racing Glam

by Women Times on
Ruth Kadiri

By Prosper Mene

April 1, 2026

Nollywood actress, filmmaker, and style icon Ruth Kadiri is proving once again that her fashion game knows no bounds. In a striking display of versatility, the multi-talented star has unveiled two standout looks within days of each other—one a sustainable, edgy upcycled denim ensemble for her 38th birthday on March 24, and the other a sleek, racing-inspired burgundy two-piece that welcomed the month of April with high-octane glamour. Both creations, custom-designed and styled by Josiphiah Michael, highlight Kadiri’s fearless approach to fashion.

Ruth Kadiri

The birthday look channels raw, deconstructed energy with a fully upcycled denim set. A structured corset with visible boning and lace-up details sits under a cropped, oversized patchwork jacket, paired with a frayed, uneven mini skirt. Thigh-high denim boots and a matching duffle bag complete the head-to-toe moment, while white cord lacing and distressed edges add texture and attitude. It’s denim reimagined—not just casual streetwear, but elevated, sustainable couture that screams confidence and creativity.

Just days later, Kadiri switched gears for April with a deep burgundy speed-couture two-piece. The corset top cinches the waist perfectly, featuring an off-shoulder neckline trimmed with voluminous, textured details. The skirt hugs the hips before cascading into soft ruffles, accented by bold white racing stripes for that sporty edge. She accessorized with a glossy red racing helmet held casually at the waist, turning the entire look into a high-fashion editorial statement that blends athletic flair with feminine drama.

Ruth Kadiri’s Fashion Sense: Bold, Versatile, and Unapologetically Experimental

Kadiri’s current style era reflects a sophisticated evolution. Her fashion sense is defined by contrast and intentionality, she masterfully balances sustainability with luxury, edge with elegance, and everyday wearability with red-carpet drama. The upcycled denim look celebrates eco-conscious creativity, using patchwork and deconstruction to elevate a classic fabric into something fresh and forward-thinking. Meanwhile, the burgundy glam showcases her love for structure  and unexpected pairings, like sporty racing motifs with ruffled femininity.

What stands out most is her range: she doesn’t chase trends—she redefines them. Whether it’s birthday denim that feels rebellious yet refined or April’s burgundy moment that merges high-speed energy with glamorous silhouettes, Kadiri consistently delivers looks that feel personal, powerful, and perfectly timed for the moment. Styled by Josiphiah Michael, these outfits underscore her growing reputation as a Nollywood fashion pioneer who treats every appearance as a canvas for storytelling.

Fashion Suggestions Inspired by Ruth Kadiri’s Latest Looks

For fans and fashion enthusiasts looking to channel Kadiri’s vibe:

Upcycled Denim Route: Start with a structured denim corset or bustier as your base, it instantly adds polish to casual pieces. Layer it under an oversized patchwork jacket or denim shirt for texture, then finish with thigh-high boots and a mini skirt. Pro tip: Incorporate frayed edges or lace-up details for that deconstructed edge. This sustainable approach works perfectly for birthdays, brunches, or creative events in Lagos or beyond.

Burgundy Glam Route: Embrace rich, deep tones like burgundy or wine red for instant sophistication. Opt for a corset top with off-shoulder drama and pair it with a ruffled skirt featuring contrast stripes (white or metallic for that racing flair). Add a bold accessory, like a statement helmet, oversized bag, or gloves—to elevate the sporty-chic energy into full glam. Ideal for April events, red-carpet moments, or even a stylish night out.

Kadiri’s looks prove that fashion should be fun, functional, and fearless. Whether you’re team denim or team burgundy, her range offers endless inspiration for experimenting with your own wardrobe. Keep an eye on her Instagram (@ruthkadiri) for what she serves next. This is just the beginning of her style renaissance.
