THE MAKING OF A NIGERIAN OIL SHEIKH


As volatile as the oil and gas sector seem to be, its one part of the Economy most especially in Nigeria where millionaires and billionaires are been made every day as if it’s going out of fashion.

That's where this tall, handsome dude known to all as Deoye Austen Peters reigns supreme. Still in his 40's one very noticeable attribute of the guy is that, he is as stylish as they come, many are even of the opinion that if a hundred of the most stylish and best dressed men are being chosen, he would feature very prominently, irrespective of the fact that he now has a small pouch. But let’s forget about style for now.

Our focus right now is about the giant strides we hear the cool dude has taken in recent times. A couple of years ago, he was a top management staff at Zenon Oil, that's Femi Otedola's company which has now transformed to Forte Oil, everything seemed to be going on fantastically well, then the sudden departure from Zenon Oil under a cloud, at the same time that was on, there was hiccups also at the home front, it took the grace of God for that particular storm to be calmed. He quickly set up his own Energy Company which he named Austen's Energy located in Ikoyi and quickly made use of his vast contacts, things seemingly began to take shape.



WOULD YOU HAVE MARRIED UR LOVE? KNOWING HE or SHE HAS JUST WEEKS TO LIVE!



 
For many love is only governed by whatever is in it for one party or the other, a lot of the time the material benefit is what decides how it’s going to be. But the selfless love as shown by Chris Draft is quite unbelievable but true. And it just shows that true love conquers all.

In what seemed like an unbelievable scenario in a movie, an American Football player Chris Draft on November 27, 2011 at an emotional ceremony to show that he was one of a kind, got married to the love of his life Keasha in Atlanta, knowing full well she was battling CANCER! The bride came to the wedding on a wheel-chair and was only able to take the last few distance by herself, but after just a month after the nuptial ceremony, she has passed on!

We would love to found out from our readers, if they would go the same route if they were in such a situation?

THE SHAPE OF 2012- A LEAP YEAR

BYE-BYE 2011
It’s only a few more days remaining to one of the fastest years we have ever known-2011. How long ago was it that we celebrated entering 2011 and all of a sudden after only a few minutes, it’s about ending. We hope you all were able to achieve some of those your well laid out plans. For us at Maestro, we tried and we thank God for his favors and Grace on so many counts. We wish for you a most fantastic New Year ahead, we are hoping that we all would be together again at the end of 2012 celebrating the end of a very eventful year and happily waiting on the new year-2013.
WELCOME BRAND-SPANKING NEW 2012
What are we to expect in 2012? So much by God's grace! Firstly we hope that by January this blog would transform to serve you much better than it has ever done, more first class pictorials of events, places and people, juicy happenstances just as they drop and so much more, first class interviews with those that counts, coverage of the best events and occasions, both at home and abroad. We promise to improve in all ways and manner possible so as to deliver first class, well written information for you all. Please bear with our many mistakes.

What are some of those major events we expect to happen in 2012?

One of the major monumental events of 2012, that we expect to be celebrated in a very big way is the 70th birthday of the great man of God, the General Overseer of most probably the largest congregation in the whole world-Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye. The Ijesha born Pastor of the RCCG (Redeemed Christian Church of God) would clock the ripe old age of 70 on March 3, 2012. What's so significant about turning 70 years old some would ask, 2 reasons why, in Christianity numbers are of particular significance, the year is made up of 12 months and the day is 12 hours and night 12 hours, there were only 12 first disciples( Apostles), there were 12 sons of Jacob (Israel) and later 12 tribes of Israel, there were 12 gates, 12 Angels, 12 tribes of Israel in the new Jerusalem, and the walls of the city had 12 foundations. So the year ending with 12 is very significant, the man of God would be 70 a number associated with God's administration of the world, 7 in itself denotes Completion, Perfection and Fulfillment, Enoch was the only Patriarch in the bible said not to have died, he was said to have pleased God and that God took him away at (365 years old). So we expect that the RCCG world over would roll out the drums to pay tribute to a man whose life is fully dedicated to God and who God has helped to make RCCG a major reference point all over the world.
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE TO THE G.O!

G-Lory BOSNJAK- THE NEW FACE OF POP MUSIC IN NIGERIA





She's most probably going to be one of the major revelations of 2012. What does she do? She's a music star in the making. Where is she coming from? What we can say for now is that, she used to be based in Lagos, Nigeria before relocating to Switzerland for a while now with her family! Yes she's happily married with 2 kids and she used to be an entrepreneur while she was here, she still is. She caught the music bug way back, according to her friends she used to be a fantastic Karaoke Singer and while abroad she continually nurtured her love-Music and she's ready now to blow sky-high.


IS THIS MADNESS OR DELIBERATE?




The pictures below were said to be one of the major Highlight of the recent Koko Concert which held at Eko Hotel. This obviously beautiful lady gave the excited fans who came a very good view of her ‘privates’. We were so shocked that we have only just remembered to post the pictures.
