In 2014, I attended what until last night was my best party ever at the South of France, to be precise at Cannes, during the 67th Cannes Film Festival.
It was a sea-front A-listers’ party, organised by the International Ice Cream giant, Magnum, in celebration of their 25th anniversary—headlined by Australian popstar-Kylie Minogue.
Anyone who has ever partied with the super rich and famous at Cannes would know the parties from that part of our planet are out of the ordinary.
It was a mega party—the stars, the music and the countless bottles of champagne captured the global success of Magnum.
And yesterday, Dorcas Anokye Adisi, the wife of Ghanaian media mogul, Nathaniel Anokye Adisi popularly known as Bola Ray celebrated her husband’s 40th birthday with a party that befits Bola’s incredible success story—and dwarves the opulence of my best party.
I flew in from London with Bola Ray’s most cherished Auntie, Serwaa Akoto just for the party, which brought over 300 of Bola Ray’s best friends, business associates, employees, favourite celebrities and those with substantial influence in Ghana’s media landscape to the Royal Senchi Resort.
Bola Ray is that mogul who has been there for literally everyone—and therefore everyone owes him a favor, for a favor he’s done everyone.
He’s the CEO version of Harvey Specter: he does not just break bread with the “big boys”—they all seem to owe him one.
Hosted by Starr Fm’s Anita Erskine with comedy interlude from Ghanaian comedian DKB, the star-studded river-front party kick-started around 9pm with Tagoe Sisters and held on an increasing momentum till around 3am.
