REWIND: In 2024, Aisha Achimugu painted Grenada red with 50th birthday party

Aisha Achimugu, socialite and managing director/CEO of Felak Concept Group, was spotlighted in 2024 following news of her lavish 50th birthday bash in two cities.

Achimugu turned 50 on January 22, 2024. However, festivities began a week earlier.

The socialite had guests alternate between Calivigny Island and Silversand, an intimate and luxury resort on the sands of Grand Anse Beach in Grenada, for a seven-day extravaganza.

Prominent figures, including a governor and some of the crème de la crème of the Nigerian entertainment industry, were in attendance.

Here’s a breakdown of what the activities looked like.

DAY ONE: On the first day, guests arrived, settled in, and unwinded from their journeys.

DAY TWO: A welcome breakfast, exploration of the resort, and mingling.

DAY THREE: Activities like kayaking, swimming, and treasure hunting were scheduled for the third day. There was also a bonfire as guests gathered for a night of warmth and music.

DAY FOUR: Special performances, including a drum dance, saw attendees turn up in elegant African attire.

DAY FIVE: More performances were lined up on the fifth day, including performances from a local band, a wide array of cocktails, and a retro disco party.

DAY SIX: On the sixth day, which was Achimugu’s birthday, the guests went on an excursion round the island.

DAY SEVEN: The last day of the bash was capped off with an all-white breakfast and a luxurious dinner, which saw guests dazzle for a themed ‘glitz and glam’ before bidding Grenada goodbye.

EXTRAS IN ABUJA

On January 26, Achimugu hosted another evening birthday party at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.

The following day, the socialite hosted a dinner party at the International Conference Centre (ICC).

After the party, the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) asked Achimugu to remember to file her annual tax returns.
