Friends for life! Yes, that's what they are, Princess Abah Folawiyo and Senator Ita Giwa. So when it was time to cut her birthday cake, Segun Awolowo's mom chose to do it at her friend's much-talked-about highbrow restaurant in Victoria Island -'Echoes Of Calabar' restaurant. And the guests has lots of delicious Calabar cuisines to choose from.


Sen. Florence Ita Giwa speaks well of her friend

Not many were called because it was just meant to be for family and close friends.  At 77, Abah Folawiyo who is the Matriarch of the Folawiyo family and the doyen of Nigerian fashion, still glowed with life and good fortune.

Abah Folawiyo is the mother of Segun Awolowo jr, the Executive Director of Nigerian Export Promotion Council and grandson of former Nigerian nationalist, socialist and statesman, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. She is a known philanthropist and mother to many that are not her biological children.
