It was a fabulous night out at the ELOY awards 2012 on Sunday, November 24, 2012. Venue was the beautiful Porsche Center, Akin Adesola, Victoria Island, Lagos. There were over 300 guests in attendance. The ELOY awards is gradually becoming a fantastic platform in the mode of Black Girls Rock in America and the idea basically is to focus on the women a bit more, reward the female folks in as many areas as possible for being outstanding during the year in review.

Also the idea is to use a veritable platform like the ELOY to bring the much needed attention to something that has become a scourge for the women, in this case Cervical Cancer. ELOY means Exquisite Ladies of the Year award. This year's edition was another slam-dunk and kudos must go the way of the organizers, led by the very exquisite Tewa Onasanya, the Editor-in-Chief at Exquisite Magazine, they did their best and delivered on their promises.
In attendance at this year's edition were the likes of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Monalisa Chinda, Beverly Naya, Emem Isong, Joseph Benjamin, Toyin Ladejobi, Toyin Lawani, Yvonne 'Vixen' Ekwerre, G-Lory, Eni Balogun, Wonuola Ohio, Eva Alordiah, Dr Matilda Kerry, Kelly Thomson, Tiwa Savage, Lexy Mojo-Eyes, Kenny Okorie, Olubunmi Ademokoya, Aishat Bello,the new modeling sensation Favour Lucky, who at 14 years old, just won the NNSM 2012, and many others.
