CHIOMA IKOKWU DAZZLES ON IG IN HER LAW OUTFIT LOOKING VERY STUNNING. SHOWCASING SHE'S NOT JUST ABOUT FASHION ALONE, BUT WITH BRAINS TO MATCH TOO

Seem like the out gone weekend totally belonged to the inimitable Chioma Ikokwu, the dazzling co-partner at Good Hair Ltd and affiliates. Good Hair is that hair brand that's said to be one of the biggest in town that's raking in dough, massive money left, right and center, with the main branch in London and sub HQ in Lagos, Nigeria.

We had only just featured her in an article as one of the extraordinary millionairess Hair-preneurs raking in the money left, right and center in the state of aquatic excellence of Nigeria and causing panic as she razzle-dazzles with her style and all. It was while that article was still hot and causing issues, that the stylish Chioma, just released a few pictures, dazzling pictures at that, literally showing herself off in her outstanding law outfit, making many to go into overdrive, thinking maybe she has just been called to bar.

Alas, that's so far from it. In way far from it. Yes, though Chioma Ikokwu is a qualified lawyer by all standards you can judge it by. She was in fact called to the Nigerian Bar, as far back as 6 years ago, in 2013 to be more precise. The super brilliant lady had before her call to bar in 2013, gotten her 'LLB' from the 'University of Birmingham' in 2010, before immediately proceeding to the 'University of London', where she obtained her LLM, that's the 'Masters in Law in International and Environmental Law & International Commercial Arbitration', & she bagged both with DISTINCTION. That is First Class in her LLB and distinction in her Masters and then off to the Nigerian Law School she went, where she continued the streak by bagging  a 21.

For the Anambra born Chioma, it's not only just about fashion and style alone or just even about the lifestyle business, that's talking about the Good Hair Ltd & affiliates by which most know her. The former UK based Chioma, who with her delightsome friend Kika Osunde, had set up the now quite successful series of businesses, has even practiced her law profession quietly away from the public eye as the other things were simultaneously coming up, both in Lebanon and Nigeria for that matter. And she still does the law very well too, and in fact the reason for the pictures above from what we could gather is because she's also made up her mind to practice the law more prominently unlike how she had done before and if things work out as she plans, she might even start her own law chamber too soon.

If she's as focused in this law business now as she is with her other businesses or investments, maybe the highly prestigious tag of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, which is the equivalent of a Queen's Counsel, could soon be added to her name tag too soon enough, which would also mean another well deserved distinction, added to the already well decorated cap on her head.

Which brings us to one of the topmost question everyone wants to ask the already very comfortable lass, when would the wedding bells be jingling? 2020 or when? 

Hello Barrister at Law, Miss Ikokwu.... 

GAME ON AS JIMI AGBAJE UNVEILS FORMIDABLE DEPUTY ASPIRANT

Oluwayemisi Haleemat Busari

It is quite obvious that come 2019, as it concerns the Gubernatorial election in Lagos State, the state also known to the world as the State of Aquatic excellence, the state many often refers to as "Eko for show", come that election, it ain't gonna be a walk-over as some have already contemplated!!!

It is like suddenly, the battle cry "awake O sleeping giant", has resonated very well and has gotten to the major opposition and they have awoken somewhat, and are gradually bringing out the bird steadily from their pocket at their own pace without being bamboozled!

It is obvious now by all indications that the opposition, especially the main opposition, which is the PDP, are getting set for a major battle with the APC. And to downplay them, or to belittle them would be at the peril of the ruling party, the APC. What is now most obvious is that they seem to have taken their time to study the terrain very well and may be willing to give it all that it takes to wrest power from the APC, in what would be considered as the biggest upset in the history of Nigeria so far!!!

For now, things seem to be gelling for them too. From the little feelers that we have begun to get, they seem to be crossing their t's and dotting their i's and wants to unleash on the state, what she has never known nor experienced before. In fact in a way that the state has never expected before. So every one had better sit up tight!

For Jimi Agbaje aka JK, who we all had thought and felt was comatose and slow before, just with a few actions of him now, it's now gradually becoming apparent that he might have deliberately taken the position of the proverbial ram, who deliberately took many steps backward that the opponent misunderstood and misinterpreted as steps of fear, only to suddenly realize that the ram had actually done the reverse, just to go gain massive momentum for the massive charge to annihilate the opponent, who had miscalculated because of a false sense of entitlement and also because the Ram had actually also being in disguise all the while.

In the choice of the Deputy Governorship Aspirant, Jimi Agbaje might have applied an outstanding masterstroke of unimaginable proportion. First his choice in the person of 'Oluwayemisi Haleemat Busari' is spot on. Then also, her profile is intimidating by all standards. Then again that he picked a woman and such a one as he picked, really counts for a lot, unlike the male-male candidacy of the APC. And he was also very careful to also pick a Christian/Moslem ticket also too.

The fact is that, not only is Mrs. Oluwayemisi Busari brilliant, she could have stood for the Governorship itself herself, had she wanted or of she was a politician, but instead she is a technocrat in all facets. In fact we know her one-on-one and can attest to the fact that she's not a pushover by any means.

According to the information at our disposal, we heard that she didn't in any way or manner lobby at all to be nominated, but she was actually headhunted to find the most suitable, most perfect person to balance the equation JK and OB. Oluwayemisi Haleemat Busari, was born on September 24, 1964, making her 54 of illustrious heritage. Her late dad, Alhaji Ahmed Tijani Shehu Giwa from Isale Agoro Epe, was a successful businessman and the Vice-President of 'Jamatul Islammiya of Nigeria', while her mom Alhaja Muyibat Abeni Mopelola Giwa (nee Shonibare) also a very successful businesswoman, was a princess from the "Kosoko Royal family of Isale Eko, on the Lagos Island. The Epe & Isale Eko, Lagos Island factor means, Oluwayemisi Busari is a "native Lagosian true and true" and in some quarters, that actually means a whole lot,

Please peruse her impressive profile below---

'Oluwayemisi Haleemat Busari is an accomplished legal practitioner with almost three decades of extensive experience in the areas of company secretarial, corporate governance, litigation and commercial law practices. She started her career in legal practice at the prestigious Irving and Bonnar/ Bentley Edu law firm in Lagos. She joined the firm in 1992 and rose to the position of a senior associate before she left in 1999 to join the Honeywell Group, (one of Nigeria’s leading indigenous conglomerates) as Company Secretary/ Legal Adviser.

More after the break.

KWARA STATE GEARS UP FOR A MASSIVE BATTLE COME 2019 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION.

Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq

Hon. Razak Atunwa

Prince Ayorinde Adedoyin 

Wow wow wow. While the election in Lagos is seen as a big battle between the APC's own Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu and PDP's own Jimi 'JK' Agbaje. Oyo's battle would be between APC's former CBN deputy Governor and PDP's own Seyi Makinde, the battle in Kwara is three pronged and it promises to be epic by all accounts as the 3 aspirants representing the 3 most visible political parties in the state are heavy, heavyweights by all accounts. Not only are they very visible, the trio are also moneybags by any account you'll want to judge it by.

On the side of the APC, you have the one and only Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, a billionaire businessman oil magnate now turned politician. He at the last election gave the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki a major scare at the Kwara Central Senatorial election. And there's no love lost between the 2. When Saraki jumped ship to the APC back then, Abdulrasaq immediately moved out of APC & moved over to the PDP. Just as soon as Saraki again jumped ship to the PDP from the APC, Abdulrasaq immediately dusted himself again and moved out of the PDP back to the APC with about 120000 supporters.  The 50 plus year old moneybag, with major investments in oil and gas and others, is the founder of First Fuels and is not a neophyte at all in the political terrain of Kwara State. He would love to have one over Saraki at all cost, as he believed that he won against him the last time.

To become the flag bearer of the APC in Kwara State, the very intelligent businessman, sports enthusiast cum politician dusted all other contenders by polling 29098 votes against Alhaji Yammah Abdullahi who came 2nd and polled 22116 votes. AA as he is referred to by a lot of people has the resources and wherewithal in abundance (a moneybag per excellence) to prosecute his ambition to a favourable conclusion. His younger sister is the popular Senator Khairat Abdulrazaq Gwadabe. What he has going for him apart from age, he his just 58, is that he has a proven wealth of experience in the private sector in creating wealth. His business forays has him having investments as far as Cote D'ivoire. He is the founder and sponsor of Abuja FC. From our findings, there's an unprecedented groundswell of ever rising support for him to win the election. In fact the elite and others prefer him far above every other aspirant for the job.

Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, is one of the well to do kids of the first ever lawyer from Northern Nigeria. His dad Alhaji A.G.F Abdulrazaq a renowned jurist was also a prominent Minister in the 1st Republic.

In the race to the Ahmadu Bello Way Governor's office also is another very formidable personality by name Hon. Razak Atunwa. A super intelligent lawyer and Lawmaker, who since he returned to Nigeria and Kwara State has been very much involved in Governance as it concerns politics in Kwara State. His bio for a 48 year old is quite staggering and impressive.

He knows his beloved Kwara State inside and out as he has been part of the Governance in the state for quite a bit, which is a major plus for him. He was a commissioner over many different portfolios-finance, land and housing, information, works & transportation, in Kwara State from 2005 till 2011, that's all of 7 years, before he was elected into the State House of Assembly KWHA where he went on to become the speaker of the house from 2011 till 2015, for 5 years after which when he ran for the House of Representative and won to represent Asa/Ilorin West at the House (so that's at least 15 years experience in Governance). It is from the lower House now that he contested the Governorship Primary of the PDP which he won to represent the Party now at the next election.

He is a very strong ally of Dr. Bukola Saraki under who he was the Commissioner. He had got his law degree both LLB and LLM in London and was called to the bar also on London too. In fact according to the gist he was brought back from London by the late Dr Olusola Saraki, where at a point he was said to have been cab driver to help fund his education. There's the little controversy though about where he is from in Ilorin, for no one has ever been able to pinpoint his supposed family house in Ilorin. His strong connect with the Saraki political family may either be positive or negative for him in the long run.

The last but not the least personality by no means is none other than the 'Prince of Agbamu' himself, "Prince Ayorinde Adedoyin". Prince Ayorinde has thought to tread a totally different path to achieve his aim. He would be riding on the back of the Accord Party towards the goal. But to talk about this quintessential good dude and Philanthropist per excellence, we would first talk about his father, the super wealthy industrialist, Sir Samuel Adedoyin of the Doyin Groups Fame. The old man's story is the stuff dreams are made of. The old man now in his 80s rose from grass, the very last rung by the dint of hard work and providence to grace. He owns a vast conglomerate that includes industries and vast property portfolio and other investments. Ayorinde Adedoyin is his 1st son and the highly connected young man by every standard, is not a pushover at all too by any means.

By the grace of God, the man in his early 50s whose late elder sister was a former Health Minister and a Lawmaker, that's Hon. Funke Adedoyin till she recently passed on, has really done extremely well for himself too in business. Not one to sit on his oars, believing that wealth has already been made and then all he needs to do, is to run his father's vast business and that's it. But as soon as he finished school he immediately branched out and began to chart his own path immediately, by setting up his own firms which are variously into maritime, oil and gas, logistics, aviation, real estate and hospitality, all under the umbrella of a holding company Peacegate Group. Peace Gate group is a successful multifaceted company by all standards. He has going for him, very excellent private sector experience.

His passion for Kwara State is enveloping. The Prince of Agbamu believes so much that not even a quarter of the endowment of his beloved Kwara have been exploited. And like he preaches at every turn, that his ambition is not a do or die one, just that he wants to serve his beloved state to the best of his abilities. He has come in as a new star, not on the old beaten track of the APC or PDP, but as a real alternative from the Accord Party!!!

So from the looks of things, this would be a 3-pronged battle ROYALE, a major slamdunk 2019 event!!!!! Who would carry the day eventually! !! 

SEGUN AWOLOWO JNR RETAINS POST AS NEPC BOSS!

Olusegun Awolowo Jnr. 

Maybe it is a testament to good job well done as the amiable boss of the NEPC (Nigerian Export Promotion Council), the incumbent Executive Director &  Chief Executive Officer of the Export Promotion Council in the person of Olusegun Awolowo Jnr, the first grandson of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who was the former Premier (in fact the first premier) of Western Nigeria, has been retained as the boss of the important Government Parastatal.

The first tenure of the handsome Segun Awolowo had ended late last year 2017, but since the Federal Government hadn't chosen another person to head the important council nor sacked Segun, the trained lawyer was still calling the shots, till the announcement yesterday made by the FG to retain him again as the ED & CEO of the NEPC. 

Segun Awolowo Jnr, was first appointed to the post in 2013 till 2017, and with this new appointment and assignment it's another 4 years tenure till 2021 that would be 2 years into another tenure by PMB, if he were to run for and win another election for another 4 years tenure. For the man who seem to have done well at the council and at his assignment, it is a good opportunity for another many years of exhilarating performances. 

It would be recalled that in 2016 however, there were some sponsored attacks against his tenure and leadership style at the same parastatal, the waves of attacks he was able to overcome very admirably at that.

Segun Awolowo Jnr, is one of the 2 kids, the other being Pastor Funke Awolowo (female), of the first son of the late sage, in the person of Segun Awolowo Snr, who had passed on, on Wednesday, July 10, 1963, at the age of 24. Segun read Law at the former Ogun State University now Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, Ogun State. 

EYIMOFE ATAKE SAN, QC AT 60. THE DAPPER DUDE OF LAW AS A MAN OF STYLE

Give it to him, he doesn't look 60 at all! In fact he looks like a man in his middle to late 40. Is that a compliment? Ooo yes it is. Like we had said to him very recently, he needs to come tell us the secret. We need to know the source of that fountain of eternal youth/youthfulness that flows in his veins.

It's not just that he doesn't look 60 at all, the man is buffed to perfection. He is well sculpted from head to toes, we can bet that he gets winks and glances of admiration from both men and women everytime and everywhere. We are too sure that the gorgeous Dorothy Atake, his wonderful wife just takes it all in her strides, without batting an eyelid.

Not only is the man, well buffed, he is stylish, not held down by the conservativeness of his learned profession. He is always neat and very well put together to a fault. Shirts and jackets are the very accurate size to the t. Pants (trousers) are not longer than they should. Everything is well coordinated, well placed, well wrinkled. Nails are well cut, even the smile that graces the face is well put too.

Not only is he super stylish, he is super intelligent too, in fact to the core and one of the masters of his profession, Law. He is infact a Doctor of Law, with speciality in litigation, arbitration, maritime, admiralty, international trade and oil and gas. 

Born on February 20, 1958, he went to St. Saviours Ikoyi, Government College, Warri, Delta State, Copford College, Colchester, England, The London School of Economics & Political Science, England. Then to the University of Cambridge, also known as Cambridge University in England, where he bagged his doctorate.

Dr Eyimofe had bagged his LLB at 21, he was a counsel at 29 & had gotten the SAN by 41. He set up his chamber in 1987 making it 31 years ago now, after a year stint at the GOK Ajayi chamber.

Here is what the wonderful man had to say about his birthday & himself-

I am 60 YEARS TODAY. Wow!!! That is how you jump for joy and praise the Lord when you are 60 years old and still fit, agile, sprightly, lively, in good shape and health. One jumps high up in the air thanking God for his compassion, kindness, understanding and benevolence. For that reason, I share wholly what YOKO ONO stated: “when I turned 60, it didn’t bother me at all”. Why YOKO? Because in my case, like an older fiddle, my tune is still spectacular, razor-sharp and marvelous. Sing praises to the Lord for me!!!

Happy delightsome birthday to a quintessential fine man gentleman, from us at MM. May the source of that fountain of eternal youthfulness never dry up! 

Salute, another 40 upcoming! 

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE CIVIC CENTRE AS IPHIE@40 HOLDS TODAY!!!

Today, Sunday, October 22, 2017 is the D-Day, after all must have gone to church for the thanksgiving service. It is the day of the ultimate convergence, when friends and family members of one of the most stylish persons in Nigeria, in the person of the supremely gorgeous, top style mistress, a known master of the game in terms of looking good, a solid fashionista to the core, a former beauty queen ("former Miss Lux"), a trained lawyer, world class stylist, a mother and the wife of Andreas Williams, in the person of Ifeoma "Iphie" Williams", would gather to celebrate her 40th birthday, with pomp and pageantry.

From all indications and information at our disposal, it would be a solid gathering at the exclusive party. We are expecting all the most gorgeous people at the party, which has as its theme- Michael Jackson".

The party though celebrating Ifeoma at 40, would also put into focus, one of the world's most popular and renowned cultural icons, in the person of the late king of pop- Michael Jackson, whose dress sense and style was very unique all by itself.

So guests both male and female are going to get their style inspiration from the man that was very very unique in many ways.

Known for her exquisite taste in all ramifications, this party would most definitely, be one of the best of the season. Knowing Ifeoma very well, she and her event planner, whoever that might be, would have gone to any length possible to deliver an exquisite and first class ambience to razzle-dazzle all, as Michael Jackson is known to love very bright colours and things that stands out, remember that bedazzled one handed glove, the bedazzled white socks peeping out under a short pant (trouser), the military jacket with many epaulettes, those big aviator sunglasses, the Jerry curled hair etc. We are eagerly awaiting how many of the guests would interpret these one of its kind theme.

The venue is the Civic Centre, along Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island Lagos opposite the 1004 flats and time to converge is at 7pm. Are we going to be there? That would mean the SSS, Military intelligence, Police and the Army authorities would have to declare war to flush us out. Lol!!!! Anyways we would do our best to bring you all the proceedings as they unfold.

This would be the shindig of all shindigs, that we can most definitely swear by.

CLASSY PYJAMA PARTY FOR "IFEOMA WILLIAMS" FOR 40TH BIRTHDAY

Ever Stylish Ifeoma Williams

Africa's number 1 media mogul, Mo Abudu about 2 nights ago, Friday, October 7, 2017 to be more precise, on the island, hosted ex-beauty queen, lawyer and highly sort after image consultant, the gorgeously beautiful and effortlessly stylish Ifeoma Williams, to a cool and classy pre-40th birthday party.

It was an exclusive ladies only gathering all the way and from the look of things, it was both super stylish and super fun, with the theme been-a "pyjama jammy jam".

Some of those in attendance were the likes of Ifeoma's besto of many years Banke Balogun, Karen Koshoni, Tundun Abiola, Pat Faniran, Mercedes Richards, event planner extraordinaire Ndidi Obioha, Uche Nwandison, This Day Style's Ruth Osime, top event designer Funmi Okigbo, ace designer Lanre Da Silva Ajayi.

Good music from the "old skool to the new skool" filled the atmosphere as the ladies sang along and demonstrated their dancing prowess to their own delight. It's obvious that Ifeoma would have been a major hot-stepper par excellence in her much younger days, as she moved with grace and precision to MC Hammer's old hit.

According to our findings, a more elaborate 40th birthday shindig is upcoming come Sunday, October 22, 2017. From the look of things it would be a supremely stylish and fun party, that would rate very very high. If we got it right the theme is revolves somewhat around MJ, the late king of pop.

As we speak, invitations for the exclusive shindig are been sent out to those invited.

Truth be told, birthday gal is so blessed by the goddess of beauty that she doesn't look 40 at all, it is most obvious that the fountain of eternal youthfulness must be flowing endlessly and located somewhere at her backyard
