Every weekend in Nigeria feels like a festival. Someone somewhere is getting married, celebrating a birthday, or hosting a beautiful owambe that deserves to be remembered. But behind every great celebration is the real work — finding the right makeup artist, the right photographer, the right caterer, and all the vendors who make the day special. That search can be stressful, and that is exactly why OiO was created.
OiO means “Owambe Is Online.” It is Glamcityz’s simple, everyday solution for anyone trying to plan an event without the usual headache. But more importantly, OIO is an event marketplace — a digital space where people can easily discover verified event vendors, explore their work, and contact them directly. Instead of jumping from page to page on social media or waiting for referrals, OIO puts the entire event world in one place, organised and stress-free.
Many people already know Glamcityz for the weekly Owambe Is Online editions — the iconic Asoebi highlight series that has grown to become the most-read Asoebi style edition in Nigeria. It inspires thousands of fashion lovers every week and has shaped how wedding guests discover and recreate stylish looks. But while Owambe Is Online inspires your fashion and culture, OIO goes beyond inspiration. OIO is the tool that helps you book the people who create those magical wedding moments.
That is the difference. One feeds your imagination. The other solves your real-life event needs.
Together, they form a powerful ecosystem under Glamcityz — one that celebrates culture while making planning unbelievably easy.
A wide range of vendors can join OIO, making it useful for almost any kind of Nigerian celebration. This includes makeup artists, gele artists, photographers, videographers, Asoebi tailors, fashion designers, caterers, small chops vendors, bakers, hair stylists, decorators, MCs, DJs, wedding planners, event rental companies, lighting and sound experts, and many others within the wedding and events industry. If a vendor contributes to making an event look or feel good, they belong on OIO.

And for vendors, being on OIO is not just exposure — it is growth. Not everyone has the budget for ads or the luck of viral posts, but OIO places vendors directly in front of people who are actively searching for their service. It boosts visibility, increases trust, and helps creatives attract clients faster. With Glamcityz behind the platform, vendors also enjoy a reputation advantage — customers feel safer choosing professionals listed under a brand they already respect.
For users, OIO removes stress. For vendors, it creates an opportunity. And for Glamcityz, it is a natural evolution — expanding from celebrating Nigerian culture to building real solutions that empower the event industry. OIO makes event planning smoother, helps creatives shine, and allows everyone to enjoy the beauty of owambe without the overwhelm.
OIO isn’t trying to replace the way Nigerians celebrate — it simply makes everything easier. Whether you’re a bride-to-be, a friend helping someone plan, or a vendor trying to reach more clients, OIO is the event marketplace where everything finally comes together.
