Over-the-top revelries customarily trail the breasting the septuagenarian tape. So shall it be for Nike Davies-Okundaye, who joins the club today. A special dinner event, at the instance of the Lagos State Government (through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture) in partnership with GAC Motor, will be organised in her honour at the Banquet Hall of Eko Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos from 6 pm. Expected at the event, whose chief host is the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, are the leading lights of the local arts community.
At the landmark age of 70, the woman – known in the art circles as “Mama Nike” – has every reason to be thankful for the inexorable weavings of creation. Her life’s story so far is an exemplar of the triumph of spirit, which saw her wade through the darkest nights of her soul.
