Meanwhile we have 12 US Conference Clients site visiting the UK for 3 days, an education event at the Tower Of London & tonight a charity event in Soho. Got to keep the Events wheels in motion! Tower Of London was a most interesting and bloody place....would not have liked to be stuck there 300 years ago :-(

Guido Fawkes Night & Daniel's Birthday






Although its tough times, one must always take time off to relax with loved ones.Thanks to my good friend Alex who lives in a lovely Square with a huge communal garden in Maida Vale we were invited to an awesome Bonfire & 12minute Fireworks display party. WOW what a display it was....absolutely memerising, the colours, the light effects,the rhythm - very surreal and musical. Afterwards we went to Daniel's Birthday celebrations at a great Bar/Gastro Pub in kensal rise called the Paradise.Great venue for Birthday parties.Wonderful week-end!Not the best pics Ive ever taken.But you had to be there ......

Congratulations President Elect Barack Hussein Obama


Rosa Parks sat, so Martin L King walked so Obama could run.....Obama is running so our children can fly! CONGRATULATIONS! We know he can walk on water but now he has to produce the fish and loaves of bread. Godspeed x

Team Dinner At Brunello Restaurant Baglioni Hotel





Wow what a fast week last week was .... almost my Birthday and I got an early Birthday Present: a emc3 team dinner at sumptuous Brunello Restaurant . What great variety of food and wine we had there . Thank you Lisa Marshall & the Baglioni Team. Will be sad to see Luca Vigilio go . But we'll see you in Monte Carlo Amico .
In these precarious times very important to gee up the Staff. Got a tad messy at the end though , 12 lemoncellos later we ended up at Electric . Well it was my fault :-)

My Birthday week should be interesting ...... lots more business would be a nice gift ;-)

Score4Africa At The House Of Lords,NO 5 & Bungalow 8





Wow this really is Black History Month .We went to my Cousin Ayo's ( Thanks Cous) Event to raise funds for African Football Acadamies at the House Of Lords . My Guests were the Great Olorogun Oskar C.J . Ibru aka Skido , the rising Stars VV & Gabriel Ibru. Later on we joined my lovely Wife and her Friends at the newly Refurbished NO 5 whence the young guns bounced on to Bungalow 8 where Stella McCartney & Christina (2WICE in a week) Aguilera were having a Party........

Comedy Night





Our comedy acts agent Dan really put on a great show on last wednesday . His acts had Alistair & I crying with laughter at his Dinner Function at the Marriot Hotel . Even funnier was to see Alistair the brunt of every other joke ...tee hee. Yes they were too scared to pick on me :-) One even said I had kind eyes and if I was to glass him I would probably only use a 1/2 pint glass. Especially funny was the Jack Black look-a-like . Thank you Maria ...... x

Africa Rising Africa Unite

What a great event ......near year EMC3 will have presence there behind the scenes !!!

Africa Rising "Unity makes a community strong."

Sometimes magnificient things happen to you without your prior knowledge or control.That is what happened when I got a text from my good Friend Ola Joshua offering me 2 tickets for Africa Rising Concert, organised by this day's Nduka Obaigbena . It was so fantastic to see a well orchestrated event that included MCing from Trevor Nelson & Adora Oleh , music by D'BANJ ,the Fabulous Seal, {space} the Mesmerising Youssou N'DOUR, 2 FACE , ASA & the 1/2 Colombian beauty Christina Aguilera......Fashion was produced by the 1 & Only Ozwald Boateng and newcomers Momo and Chris Aire. Lots of talent there! The Speech by the WISE General Colin L.Powell (RET) was inspirational. Come on OBAMA{backspace}!!!! Thank you God for allowing us to be part of this great African Movement . Still think I could have done a better job & got better PR (eg CNN & BBC). Mr Nduka ....you need me. Maybe next time ?

Estefania In Dordogne







Whilst I was looking after my Niece and the Cats ...my Beau Estefania was in France with her great friends, Penny & Wendy (back from LA) at a Swedish twin friend’s birthday. Their Chateux looked good though.....wonder what the Girls got up with all those Lord fla flas ............

Weekend in the sun




What a lovely sunny week-end it was ...... With Estefania away near Bordeux in France at a Friend's Birthday Party in a Private Chateux: I chilled with my Niece Dylan - cycling and visiting the hotspots by the river and Royal Festival Hall where the entertainers always seem to put a smile or laugh on all faces. To top it all the 11th of October was my dear late Mother Princess Ibienebo Mogbeyi Adoki Epega's birthay. May her soul rest in peace . I have a feeling it s going to be a great month x
