@ BRYAN OKPARA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.


It was all grove for the girls on Friday night at Caliante Nite Club, victoria Island Lagos, as Mr.Nigeria, Bryan Okpara celebrated his birthday amidst friends and well-wishers. The finalists got the hint about the groove a day before the event and were not sure the chaperone would grand them the go-ahead to the party. "participants are not usually allowed to parties while in camp.

That is the tradition" those were the words of the chaperone when we visited the camp before leaving for the party.
The Chaperone submitted that, they were allowed to attend the party because the celebrant happens to be one of the male models of Isis Models.


Bryan was seen with her hearthrob, Bunmi Ademokoya (Miss Model of the World and Isis Model) as they were ushered in by bouncers and security operatives into the club at exactly 1 A.M.

The celebration brought together celebrities from the Movie, fashion and Modelling industries.
