Lupita turned 37 on Sunday, 1 March. She is also in the process of filming Americanah but she took time out to celebrate her birthday with some of her pals who are based in the west African country.
Among those who celebrated with her were Nigerian musical sensation D’banj and outspoken writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
The trio were spotted dancing like wild teenage revellers as they also posed for selfies.

Lupita draped herself in a tiny, print number that hugged her curves tighter than a man in love and let her legs out for the night.
Several of her famous pals have also wished the black beauty a luminous birthday.
In December, the world renowned actress graced the cover of Vogue U.K. and opened up about life in the spotlight and her decision to keeping her personal life more private. “Privacy is a commodity that is hard to come by,” she told the outlet.

“Filming is so time-consuming. And intense,” she continued. “With Black Panther, a lot of us were single. On Little Monsters, nobody was single. Everyone, when they’re done with their day’s work, wants to go home to their families, which makes a whole lot of sense. When you don’t have that it’s very isolating.”
Although Lupita has chosen to remain single, she says making friends in the industry has helped her feel more at home in Hollywood.
