Eko Hotels At 50 – THISDAYLIVE

Beyond the suffocating air of Nigerian politics, which gets far more problematic by the day, with its unending twists and turns, there are more sober happenings within this same polity, which while politics depresses the soul, uplift it, reminding us all too plainly why we are human. Over the weekend for example, the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMCVA) was held at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos. It was a phenomenal event: a tribute to the African spirit of innovation and creativity. The Met Gala had been held earlier in the United States, May 4, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York city, with the theme “Costume Art” and a dress code – “Fashion is Art” and there were impressive, energetic spectacles in terms of how the celebrities turned up. But coming just about a week later, the AMVCA 2026 properly established itself as the MetGala equivalent in Nigeria and even surpassed the show in New York where celebrities like Heidi Klum, Kylie Jenner, Beyonce, SZA, Cardi B, Tyla, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Anna Wintour, Teyana Taylor, Venus Williams, Naomi Osaka Lena Dunham gave us a bold-eyed look at fashion as art.
