High Commissioner and retired Justice, George Adesola Oguntade and wife, Modupeola

The New Nigerian High Commissioner to the court of St. James in the UK, his excellency, retired Justice George Adesola Oguntade OFR, CON during the week, visited the Head of the Commonwealth in the person of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the queen of the UK, Canada, Australia & New Zealand to formally present his letter of credence as it obtains, so as to be recognised as the official Nigerian representative to the UK.

The meet took place at the official residence of her majesty, which is the "Buckingham Palace".

In tow to present his letter was the stylish wife of the retired Justice, in the person of Modupeola Oguntade!

Our elation about the visit was majorly about how we were represented very well by this new Ambassador and his wife on what could be termed his first official outing in the UK. The High Commissioner and madam having the proper understanding that they were first and foremost also a representative of our great culture and wonderful tradition, represented that in their stupendously gorgeous traditional outfit from the Yoruba tribe, from where they hail from.

The Aso Oke (high cloth) ensemble, in 2 piece of Buba and full length Agbada as worn by retired Justice Oguntade is such that, it is a "formal outfit worn only on special occasions or to important events". The "alaari", "sanyan", or "Aso Ofi" or "Etu" in their different colour codes of a shade of blue, a shade of brown and a shade of burgundy or red are on the highest level of outfits worn by people of great influence or those who can afford it in the Yoruba culture and others too who have borrowed the Culture.

Justice Oguntade & wife, showed themselves as a perfect example and knowledgeable representative of their country in their garbs and we applaud and greatly commend them. Our High Commissioners who are from different parts of our great country, should always follow and emulate this same tradition to showcase the best of our diverse cultures and traditions.

Kudos to the Oguntade.  

ANOTHER FEATHER ADDED TO HIS CAP AS SHINA PELLER AND WIFE BAGS NEW CHIEFTAINCY TITLES!

Chief Mrs. Ayobola Peller

Night club impressario and man about town, known for his generosity by all and sundry, that is "Chief Shina Peller" is a known man of the people.

Many have ascribed him that title of the "king of nightlife" in Lagos, albeit Nigeria, especially with the success of his brand Quilox, which has since become the standard by which others are weighted and judged in the country.

Shina obviously seems to have the "Midas touch", when it comes to running a joint in Lagos. His lounge/night club-Quilox is where the richest, most happening and the most "unbridled spenders" always prefers to converge.

Of recent he has been in the news for the other major thing he is known for, which is philanthropy. Shina Peller is known to be an "unrepentant giver", who believes strongly in helping to make life easy for others.

Maybe this good heart of his, is what has always brought his number one known business a lot of goodwill. His "Quilox" customers are known to be big spenders, many of who even competes openly on how to out spend each other most often.

Only very recently, he sponsored single handedly an age grade football competition in Oyo State, for which many youths competed and for which he got a good pat on the back.

To crown it all, just a day ago, just for visiting the palace of the Aseyin of Iseyin (King of Iseyin), an ancient town in Oyo State not far from Ibadan- which is renowned as the "home of Aso-Oke", that highly coveted traditional attire of the Yoruba's.

Iseyin is also the birth place of Shina's famous dad, the late renowned "Master Magician" of yore, who many say is probably the greatest "African master illusionist", the late "Professor Moshood Abiola Peller" better known as just Professor Peller.

Shina and his wife were both honoured by the king of his homestead with the new chieftaincy titles of Aare Gbobaniyi and Yeye Aare Gbobaniyi of Iseyin. The honour apparently came as a surprise to Shina and wife, as she expressed same in her speech afterwards. Thanking the monarch and chiefs, for the honour done to her husband and her.

The installation was such a surprise that madam had on only a quickly borrowed "Quilox fez cap". Congratulations to the boss of Aquila Group and gorgeous Madam on this new honours.

More after the break.
