A night of tribute was held in honor of former beauty queen and business woman, late Ibidun Ajayi-Ighodalo, in Lagos today June 19. Her family members, in-laws, workers, and church members all paid glowing tributes to her at the service.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who joined the tribute night virtually, said he and his wife, Dolapo, were shocked when they heard the news of Ibidun’s passing. He remembered her for her kindness, love, generosity, and commitment to family, friends, and the Christian faith. He said she will live in the hearts of everyone.

Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
