One of the social goddesses of yesteryear, who dominated soft sell magazines and gossip tabloids in those days long before the Internet, social media and Instagram.

Child of yesterday with some free MB.

Even if you are too young to know her, it should be clear to anyone with a working set of eyes that she is of mixed blood. Likely Nigerian and Lebanese.

If you can't see that then it's likely you're an APC member as they don't see things as they are.

Wow!

Yemi Fawaz is gone!

Without her, I wonder if there would've been an Oluchi or an Agbani.

She pioneered professional modelling in Nigeria.

I used to read about her in mags in the early eighties.

RIP Ma'am.
