Actress, film director and model, Stephanie Onyekachi Okereke has revealed how her husband, Linus Idahosa connived with her stylist a few days to her birthday.

The Ngor Okpala, Imo State-born University of Calabar graduate and first runner up for the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria beauty pageant of 2002 was 38 years old on October 2.

Revealing what transpired between her husband and her stylist, the mother of one who in 2011 was honoured by the Nigerian government with a national honour of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic, MFR, said:

“My husband called my stylist to get a dress for my birthday. Unfortunately, she didn’t have my current measurements. Being super stylist that she is, she was able to calculate my exact size from my picture. Voila my dress fitted me beautifully and I loved it.”

And it was a surprise birthday party afterwards!

“I had the best surprise birthday party from my husband. I am so thankful for everyone that was involved, that came, for your prayers, your calls, your messages, your posts. My cheeks hurts from smiling. My love for you all.”

Colleagues in attendance included veteran actresses Kate Henshaw and Ndidi Obi, among others.
