HRH Yeye Abiola Dosunmu is leaving no stone unturned as she prepares for a milestone celebration. With her 80th birthday just around the corner next year, the woman fondly known as Yeye Oodua and Erelu Kuti IV of Lagos is already setting the stage for a grand and unforgettable event, even as she marks her 79th birthday this month. Blessed with a highly sophisticated, urbane and well-cultured personality, she possesses a demeanour that few in her age group can boast of, standing out as a true icon of grace and distinction.
As the custodian and promoter of Lagos’ enduring cultural values, Erelu Abiola Dosunmu is deeply respected and revered. Her sartorial elegance is unmistakable, and every appearance radiates a distinct charm that places her in a league of her own. Her youthful looks and poised gait are enough to stop any man in his tracks, a testament to her timeless allure and vibrant spirit.
For her 79th birthday, which she has aptly tagged “Paris Pre-80th Birthday,” she is pulling out all the stops. Plans are already in motion to gather the who’s who of Lagos and Nigeria on the picturesque shores of the French Riviera for a lavish celebration. The festivities kick off on July 30, when guests will arrive at the iconic Champs-Élysées in Paris. The following day, July 31, will feature a solemn church service followed by a grand reception in her honour, where she will offer gratitude for the good health and wealth that have accompanied her through the years. Then, on August 1, the celebration reaches its peak with a display of opulence as she hosts a sumptuous lunch on the River Seine, treating guests to an afternoon of fine dining and merriment against the backdrop of one of the world’s most romantic cities.
But the grand plans do not end there. Sources close to the celebrant reveal that she is sparing no expense to make her 80th birthday next year an extraordinary affair. Plans are already underway to shut down Lagos for the monumental celebration, with a committee already constituted, vendors engaged, and logistics taking shape to ensure the day is nothing short of memorable. For Abiola Dosunmu, age is clearly just a number and she intends to celebrate it with the grandeur and elegance that have come to define her remarkable life.
