Real estate mogul cum philanthropist, Kennedy Okonkwo, otherwise known as Ned Okonkwo, left no stone unturned to mark his 45th birthday last week. The wealthy and enterprising businessman staged a carnival-like event with a black and gold themed party, which took place at the Balmoral Hall of the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island.
It was a gathering of the socialites, real estate moguls and other eminent personalities from different walks of life. One of the highlights of the event was the live performance of RnB singers, Styl-Plus. Okonkwo is a great fan of the singing group, so they were invited to serenade the celebrant and guests in attendance with their songs, which kept guests on their feet for a very long time. The celebrant took to stage to perform one of their hit songs, Run Away for his beautiful wife. According to him, he was unable to afford them when he proposed to her when they met and started dating many years ago.
Singer David Adeleke, also known as Davido was also in attendance and he took over the stage briefly to honour the celebrant with a performance. From Ojoto, Anambra State, the graduate of University of Ibadan is the founder of Nedcomoaks Limited, a real estate firm. He is also the founder of Kennedy Okonkwo Programme for Tech entrepreneurs and sponsor of the Eti Osa community Oba’s cup.
