November 21, (THEWILL) – On November 10, Olori Sekinat Aramide Elegushi, the first wife of HRM Oba Saheed Elegsuhi, clocked 45 and rather than roll out the drums as usual, Olori Sekinat chose to do something different.
After a series of photo shoots where she was dressed in queenly clothes that were reminiscent of the Victorian era, as well as in a three-piece suit by upscale fashion designer, Mai Atafo, Olori Sekinat hit the streets of Lagos Island to celebrate with the people of Eti-Osa Local Government Area.
The Olori said she felt the need to celebrate, be with the people, see them and connect with them. Dressed down in a tee shirt a pair of jeans and accompanied by her friends and a team from her Queen Sekinat Elegushi Foundation, she visited some markets where she gave gift items to market women, presented some with cash gifts, and bought all the goods on display from some others. Next, she invited the Women Optometrist in Nigeria (WON) which she is an ambassador of and requested for eye screening and tests for residents of Ikate-Elegushi. The eye test  for about 150 people and eye glasses given to more than 100 of them, including medication, was fully funded by the Olori. Naturally, the beneficiaries couldn’t hide their joy as they showered her with prayers. Hopefully by her next birthday, the Olori will double her gifts towards the people of Eti-Osa, Ikate-Elegushi.
