OUR CRYSTAL BALL PREDICTIONS STRIKES HOME EVEN JUST ONE MONTH AFTER ITS RELEASE

Dr. Taiwo Olayinka Afolabi 

Hmmmmm. Very soon and quite soon too, maybe we will begin to release for all people to have as evidence a book of our predictions for the year, you must have noticed that we didn't tag it (prophesies) like many of the so called men of God do. That book from one of the things we have come to learn, is part of why many of the so called seers are respected, so maybe that would give us too some sort of unprecedented clout too, hmmmmm fantastic! So we are thinking very much about it. Please be on the look out for it.

A few weeks back, we looked at a few things around us and we decided then to look into what we call our own 'crystal ball', trying to mimic the great Nostradamus, whose many predictions have hit home accurately so they say and are still hitting home. Whenever anything of great and monumental effect occur or come to pass, one of the very few that's always mentioned is Nostradamus, who one way or the other was able to somehow strike home and hit the target 🎯 with his predictions.

So we too have now self named ourself too as the new modern day 'Nos-Bobo'. Mind you though, we haven't at any point claimed to anyone, that God sent us or gave us those predictions, so be mindful of that. So we started a few weeks back. And out of the 8 predictions for the year that we came up with, one has already missed the target by just whiskers, while one of the others, is most definitely going to hit target as we had predicted it would, no matter what. We were just too freaking damn sure that Burna Boy was going to come home with that Grammy. In fact we were so cocksure, that we had planned to drink at least 6 big bottles of water on the day he would have been announced as the man for the job. But alas, we missed the target gbagaun, but just by whiskers. Egbeleoooooo!!!!!

Anyways, just one out of many and it's not like it didn't nearly come to pass Sha, we try now!

The 2nd prediction though is about the brand spanking new Marriott Hotel, at Joel Ogunnaike, in Ikeja, GRA, Lagos, owned and promoted by the legendary philanthropist and billionaire of note, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, the barrister at law who owns Sifax Holdings. who are the owners of Sahcol. We can tell you now again, without any fear of contradiction whatsoever, that baring all unforeseen circumstances. Except that maybe there wouldn't be cement no more in Nigeria or even house paint anymore and that we would be importing water and sand instead from out of the country, all works at the hotel would most definitely be done. finished by April of 2020.

Thereafter, a 3 months test run of the facilities and all, would then be carried out for the next at most 3 months, just to make sure that the i's are dotted and t's perfectly crossed and everything is working like clockwork. So give and take, that hotel would have her guests salivating at the beauty of the place and functionality of things near perfectly installed by July of 2020.

As we speak, work is frantically on going to make sure to meet the deadlines set for them. On that stretch of road alone, not even talking about the GRA Ikeja as a whole, there are at least 5 hotels of various ratings, functioning there already. There cannot be less than 20 to 30 hotels all around the GRA and immediate environs. If we would even rate it correct, there should be about 100, if not more.

The beauty of this particular Marriott Hotel is that it is just about 25 to 30mins away from the International Airport and nearer from the Local Airport and because of the brand name also, which is a well known international brand of hotel, it would most certainly be a preferred hotel brand for the discerning, especially those who appreciates very well, value for money. Also again, GRA is packed filled with all the best attractions one can be looking for. think it, it's most likely available. The Cave, a men's club is just a walk away from the Marriott, even not too far is Cubana and all others. 

ABISOLA AND OLAYINKA AFOLABI'S WHITE WEDDING & HUMONGOUS RECEPTION & OUT OF THE WORLD AFTER PARTY

Mr & Mrs. Olayinka and Abisola Afolabi 

Step in the name of love

Abisola & her maids 

YINKA & his men

Cutting the beautiful cake

The gorgeous wedding gown

This massive do by all standards would be on the front burner and in the minds of all for a very longtime to come. We stress again that, it is probably the biggest wedding of the season bar none. The only way the Dangote's do might have been bigger might just be by virtue of the sheer amount of money expended or maybe the caliber of bigwigs that attended, but apart from the 2 things already mentioned, everything else pales into insignificance in comparison as this is probably the standard by which other ceremonies would be judged or measured for times to come!

There was no stiffness of any kind at this wedding. It is what you can classify as the highest scale of Owanbe.

The Afolabi's led by the head of the clan, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, who is the gentleman Billionaire Executive Vice chairman of Sifax Group a major Nigerian conglomerate, with diversitfied investments in many areas and also the Executive director at SAHCOL who is also the owner of that 5 star Hotel set to be opened in GRA, Ikeja soon before the year ends by name the Marriot and the Omisade's, that's the family of the stupendously gorgeous Bride-Abisola led by her dad-Prince Omisade both went over and above to make the ceremonies one to remember.

The entertainment was top notch all the way. KSA that's King Sunny Ade of the universe had been on the bandstand in IBADAN for the traditional wedding, which was much hosted by the bride's family at the Jogor Center, Ibadan, Oyo State. If that was a fantastic event, the Lagos event topped it by many miles.

Entertainment was provided majorly by the Shuga Band led by the ever impressive Akiin Shuga. He was supported by the a plethora of top reigning musicians from Mayorkun who broke the ice to Reekado Banks to LAX and to the King of them all 2baba who nearly brought down the roof with his awesome performance. 2baba got the whole crowd involved as it became some sort of sing-along and the young crowd bombarded the stage as the couple and 2baba had crazy fun!

The day's very reliable MC, was none other than the very functional Tee A, who controlled proceedings very very well.

The provisions made for the guests were outstanding in all ramifications. There was the overabundance of foods of all types-we cannot just name it all, it was over available and it flowed generously all through the event. Champagne was like water, not to talk of brandy, be it XO or VSOP and other types of liquor and things. It was obvious that good money was well spent. Infact some even exclaimed that it was a trailer load of drinks of all types. Desserts was aplenty, from ice-cream to cakes of all types. Not to talk of grills of all types and even burger etc.

People were served at all times and the choices were staggering.

The guests list was diverse. Royal fathers likes of Ooni of Ife, HIM Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Emperor of Greater Iwo, Emir/Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, Elegushi of Ikateland and environs, Oba Alaiyeluwa Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Oluwu of Owu Egba, Oba Adegboyega Dosunmu and many others, top businessmen and women likes of Tunde Ayeni, Bisi Onasanya, and very many others. Those in the entertainment industry, likes of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Desmond Elliot, Monalisa, Susan Peters and very many others. Top Government officials, we say Governor Ibikunle Amosun and his gorgeous wife, we also saw Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and loads very many others too numerous to mention.

It was a sea of gorgeous styles of Aso-Ebi. Mennnnnn, come and see babes!! ! All colours, all shapes, all heights, all styles, all kinds. Bisola's friends came in torrents. Some of the styles worn by many of the ladies would wake up the body of an avowed eunuch, mennnn they were bold and in your face.

Harbour Point was totally packed out. Elizabeth R owned by Ibidun Ajayi was  in charge and she did a great job. Bonix drinks, RL Desserts, Jollof Plus so many others truly delivered.

By the time we were leaving the venue, which was at about 10:30pm another epic party of the most awesome kind and dimension had just begun, which was the humongous after party. Imagine that the permanent building in the Harbour Point compound was totally, we mean totally transformed into a super classy nightclub/upscale lounge!!!

There couldn't have been less than a thousand people in that place. Music was E.P.I.C, it was another round of party altogether again, with everything well provided. When we say everything, we say that very well and emphatically! The earliest any would have left that lit party would have been about 3am.

All in all, the party delivered. Lest we forgot, gifts of all type and shapes practically rained down. You need to see gifts that individuals packed home, from coolers to umbrellas to sacks of Garri to vegetable oil to packs of salts to sets of frying pans to set of bowls m, to sets of plates to too many things too numerous to just mention, imagine electric stoves and more.

Mennnnnnn!!!!!!! ...... .....

DR. TAIWO AFOLABI'S MARRIOT HOTEL IKEJA GRA LAGOS GEETING SET FOR LAUNCH

Baring any last minute unforeseen circumstances another humongous hotel carrying the world famous name MARRIOT is getting set and ready to take over Ikeja, GRA in Lagos.

According to those privy to the information, all things been equal, the hotel that's been promoted by the billionaire Executive Vice Chairman of Sifax Group, who also doubles as the Executive Director of Sahcol amongst many other titles, would most definitely open its doors to the public before the end of the year. Dr. Taiwo Olayinka Afolabi, 56 is a trained lawyer, who got his law certificate from the University of Lagos, who has grown over the years to become an award winning business mogul, who is also a Menber of the Order of the Niger since 2010. His conglomerate is into Haulage, Logistics,, Oil and Gas, Maritime and Aviation and now Hospitality too.

The Marriot Ikeja, is one project that has been close to the heart of the generous gentleman billionaire, who is an avowed Philanthropist per excellence. Infact his generousity is legendary. We hear and as must be expected especially for a brand that would carry the famous Marriot Hotel brand name, that the hotel would be a statement in class in all ramifications. We even hear that owner of one of the biggest and best event's company has been consulting on the interior design and layout, to make sure it would wow and impress massively.

This new addition to the Ikeja GRA landscape that has taken all of 4 years, since the ground breaking in August of that year, to start and finish is a 251 rooms structure on 8 floors, that's 7 storeys and it one of the new additions to the Sifax Group expansion. The hotel can be accessed from Joel Ogunnaike and Oba Ladejobi streets in GRA Ikeja.

Dr. T. O Afolabi is one super wealthy dude who is providing great employment opportunities for many Nigerians via his investments and he must be well commended.

Kudos to him! !

THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE NAMED ABISOLA OMISADE NOW ABISOLA AFOLABI

ABISOLA

The groom and his bride 

Getting set

THE VERY MANY SHADES & ANGLES OF A GORGEOUS BRIDE.

Bisola and Yinka Afolabi's wedding by all standards should be tagged an epic! From all ramifications and standards this should probably be one of the 2 biggest weddings this season.

From the ancient town of many hills, Ibadan where the humongous Engagement and Traditional wedding took place, at the Jogor Center to Lagos, where the indescribable fun white wedding, reception and after party happened. It all was something else. They couldn't have spent less than 200 Million atleast to make the ceremonies happen and infact that amount might pail into insignificance of things were properly calculated.

Mennnnnn!!!! What was not available at these series of ceremonies? What didn't the family do to welcome guests who came in torrents!!!! Entertainment was topnotch all the way. From King Sunny Ade at the traditional wedding to The Shuga Band, Mayorkun, Reekado Banks to 2Baba and LAX, it was all fun galore all the way.

The event organisers, Elizabeth R and vendors like Jollof Plus, Bonix Drinks and very many others went all out.

The bride Abisola as expected was the cynosure of all eyes, she looked every inch like a bride. Her many changes of outfits were stunning to say the least. Her make up, especially for the Lagos event was on point. The combined effort to make her stand out worked. From head to toe, she looked like a fetching princess in her glory who knew that the day was her day. It was obvious for all to see that she was extremely happy! She glowed like a million stars. Even before she dressed up and came for her wedding to her lucky husband, Yinka Afolabi.

We heard they had been an item, lovebirds for quite a bit, so taking the plunge to officially solidify their love and relationship was just the very next step that many had been waiting for!!!!

Here in this post, we have loads and loads of the pictures focused on the beauty and gorgeousness of the bride, who is now the latest Mrs. Afolabi!
