Chief Obasanjo & Senator Melaye

- No alcohol of any kind was served.
- Those expecting to drink themselves to stupor for free were disappointed.

- There was the consciousness to be careful, so it was somewhat a boring affair.

- KSA as expected razzled-dazzled and Aliko Dangote as expected, did the needful.

- After party was lit as there was no restrictions on what the kids could do.

All the above and more below.

So the party has come and gone like that after all the attendant hoopla and razzmatazz and the memory of it would still linger for quite a bit. Though the 3rd leg is still upcoming in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory,  maybe some of those who attended this Lagos edition might just bid a bye to the Abuja edition, except maybe if things changes or are different!

What do we mean? Some of those who attended who said though the event was jam-packed, but claimed that it was boring! Boring? Yes they exclaimed that apart from the who-is-who crowd that came in large numbers, apart from the awesome decor that was gobsmarkingly in your face, it was rather a very strict, no alcohol must be served party!

What????? "A party of soft drinks, water and juice in Lagos State"? A state known for the tag- EKO FOR SHOW? Especially because of the kind of over the top things that we do in Lagos! What is a party in Lagos like, especially a high calibered one without alcohol (Rose Champagne-Moet, LP, Cristal, DP, Hennessy VSOP, XO, Johnie Walker Blue Label, Red Wine etc) to make the things merry, to make the people a lot freer and to allow people have fun of the highest order.

Morning of gist after the break.

WHY OYINDAMOLA OLUFEKO'S WEDDING WAS MORE QUIET THAN ACTUALLY EXPECTED

Mrs Oyindamola Emelia Olufeko

Adeolu Abayomi Olufeko

Many had expected that when any of the children of the super rich would wed, it would be a colossal display of opulence and extraordinary liquidity.

This assertion is based on the fact that, what else is the reason for being in that league other than to make sure ones kids futures are well assured and that they are well taken care of in life. And anything you do, be it a party or celebration, the kind of house you build or live in, the kind of cars you drive etc would be the standards by which others are judged.

One of the best ways to show ones level at this height or level, has always been during occasions like a wedding, birthdays and other events of the likes.

So being a "certified billionaire" many times over and in hard currency at that, not in Naira at all, one that even the world recognises as an "ultimate big-boy" (Forbes rich list), Otunba Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr had been expected to roll out the drums at such level that others would have recognised that money has levels.

But alas! Instead of the loud she-bangs, plenty of noise all had expected, it was more of a hush-hush affair.

Everything was done at the home of the man some have nicknamed the bull or some have referred to as the guru's palatial home in Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Not that the palatial or better still humongous estate wasn't big enough to host a massive wedding party of the magnitude expected by all and sundry; the fact is that the place was massive enough, more than opulent enough at that. That it is referred to as an edifice or that it is humongous should have conveyed how expansive the compound is.

Imagine it is the particular and spectacular homestead of the billionaire spreadout on several acres of prime land. It was at that place, that all was done, so as to "contain" the event as much as possible, so that it wouldn't spread and become something that couldn't be managed appropriately.

Why would the billionaire do a hush-hush wedding for his first daughter- Oyin, after rolling out the drums, throwing out the unprecedented large red carpet, playing host to the who-is-who of the society, hosting a one-of-a-kind event, when is 2nd daughter Bella Adenuga-Disu had her wedding many years back, at an occasion/event that was the "undisputed wedding of the year" then? And now for his first daughter a relatively very conservative event by all standards?

More after the break. The answer to the question.
