PROPERTY CZAR EXTRAORDINARY & MAJOR ROLLS ROYCE BUFF, OLU OKEOWO GETS SET TO CELEBRATE UPCOMING BIRTHDAY WITH ANOTHER HUMONGUOS ROLLS ROYCE.




Sir Olu Okeowo is a man of outstanding taste and distinction and that shows in everything he does, be it the houses he builds, his own personal home and the cars he really rides. The huge man of means, known more for his collection of mind blowing cars and humonguous home, better known to all as the 'Palacios de Okeowo', reputed to be the biggest, most intimidating and most interesting home in the whole of Ikoyi. Which in Nigeria, is known as the enclave of the super rich.

The palatial edifice that would in fact leave most mouth of the super rich wide open in bewilderness is built on several hectares about 5 hectares of prime land and it over looks the sea or is it the lagoon at the back. View is better experienced than spoke about. We have been to the house, the building, the palatial home or describe it however you want to, a couple of times now and all that we can readily say or that we can sincerely say from our spirit is that, the owner of the property, intentionally built it the way it is, to intimidate, to announce and show it off to all, it's like saying out very loudly- "I am a man of means all others must take notice of".

The inside of the home is as ostentatious, grossly ostentatious as you can describe. The decor and things inside can only be described as vulgar to the limit. That huge and ornamental dining table is vulgar. The grand piano like those in the church with all the pipes is vulgar. It is just what some people would readily describe as "loud for a purpose".

Just imagine that as you enter into the massive compound and just immediately to your left, what gets your attention is the showroom of humongous machines or should we say breathtaking cars.

At least not less than 5 intimidating signature or custom built Rolls Royce of several hues and colours and designs are in that deliberately intimidating garage, that would build several homes for many thousands to live in. Then also apart from the many double-toned Rolls Royces which couldn't have cost less than $1.8m dollars, are about 2 or 3 awesomely outstanding Bentleys, one of which is the Bentley Mulsane extended wheel base of about $400,000, which has just only 50 of it ever built in the world, meaning it's a limited edition series and the 13th of which Okeowo, the name that loosely translates to mean "custodian of wealth" used to celebrate his birthday about 2 years ago, when he clocked 40 something, though it was later claimed to be 52 (we believe them).

Still talking about that garage you still have there the G-Wagon, the Range Rover, the Cadillac Escalade. And then there are several other normal cars that litters the compound too. All of these cars couldn't have cost the property czar less than between & 2.5 to & 3m dollars, in today's estimate that would be pushing between N900million to N1.08billion on cars alone.

The amount above, whichever you choose between N900 & N1.08billion is already so huge, but the man of means is not still relenting at all neither satisfied and we hear that for his upcoming birthday he has already ordered for another badass Rolls Royce which is costing him between N300 to N400million as he is set to pay a whopping N40million Naira as duty which for the dude is a major dilemma.

From what we have deduced, though both men of means have never said anything like there's a competition between them, it seems like there's a quiet competition between Nigeria's ultimate Mr. Rolls Royce, Dr. Boluwasanmi Akin-Olugbade, who is the Aare Ona kankanfo of Owu Kingdom, in Egba, who is probably the nos 1 collector of Rolls Royce cars in Nigeria and the property tycoon/owner of Gibraltar Construction, Sir Olu Okeowo. Either there's a healthy competition of a sort or that Sir Okeowo has just fashioned himself after the Aare of Owu, who is on his 10th Rolls Royce as at the last count in January of 2019. Sir Okeowo is on his 5th or 6th and if the new one comes in eventually for the birthday, then it's going to be his 6th or 7th then.

Sir Olu Okeowo is only known for his edifice and car collection and also because he is said to be a church philanthropist as he is a knight of the Anglican church (John Wesley)

BUT SERIOUSLY WHO THESE DUDES- ABOLO, SELF PAID & B NAIRA?




These 4 guys are very well known in the happening circles in Lagos, majorly because they supposedly have badass money/dough and they are not too shy about spending same like a drunken sailor. And because of their penchant for going overboard with their spending and very flashy lifestyle, it has brought about the salient question, so what do they do for a living? Where is this their waterfall flowing from?

Are there companies they own where many are gainfully employed and are getting paid and so are helping to secure a few lives and by extension sustaining a few more.

The legend that follows these 2 are quite outrageously unbelievable, one of the cars in the garage of Abolo is a Rolls Royce Phantom and that's one amongst several other wonders-on-wheels in his garage. For the uniquely named Self-paid; his is another story of another young but stupendously wealthy young dude, whose claim to fame is none other than that he can afford to spend in excess of 5 to 10 million Naira at a Night Club, joint, bar on just one night alone! 5 to 10 million Naira just to drink the choicest of drinks and few things to munch alone? Ain't that totally mad?

The kind of lifestyle some of these guys live, even the known so called celebrated multimillionaires and real billionaires cannot try or even try to afford, lest they go bankrupt in the twinkling of an eye.

Wearing a Rolex Presidential or other iced out known brand has become pure water standards for many of these boys that you cannot actually link to any particular background.. And these 2 shine boys are not the only ones at all oooo, they are very many, including another one called B NAIRA, whose claim to fame is that he is an artiste, but till date no known hit has been linked to him as at yet, but the 'lalau'- (ostentatious and super loud living) linked to him is totally out of this world!

People wouldn't have been unnecessarily curious at least, if there was a business or 2, that they or their family background are linked or connected to, then it wouldn't have been easy to then just assume. But alas nothing of the sort.

Imagine that self-paid has been a resident of Signature now for more than a year, that's more than 365 days! The average rate for a normal room at the signature is 48000 Naira in 365 days that comes to 17,520,000 Naira, that's just for a normal room, imagine that he wouldn't live in the cheapest! Meaning on the average he spends at at least 20 million Naira a annually on his accommodation alone! To be able to do that so easily and so effortlessly, then he must be related to the Chagourys. Which brings one to ask the question, is 'Self-Paid' surnamed Chagoury?

Also there's another flyboy dude who goes by the name Allen Loop John Doe, who is less than 30 year old, meaning he is still in his 20s, 28 years old to be more precise. This guy's garage is the stuff that dreams are made off. He air-freighted in a brand spanking new white Ferrari 488 Spyder from Dubai in October of 2017, at a total cost of 290 million NAIRA. The Ferrari is only just one outbid his several cars, with 2 others being a white G 63 Mercedes Wagon and also a Maserati. He was planning to bring in a Lamborghini this year, but might have thought better of it after totalling the Ferrari after only 6 months!

There are still yet several nos of these boys in town, lounging, flaunting with just too much money to spend and spread. Just imagine someone using what another went into a house to struggle for, for 90 plus days, just for hotel bill for a year?

Who are these guys? What do they do? What's their real claim to fame?

OMOSEDE IGBINEDION IRKS OTHER PARENTS IN HER SON'S SCHOOL FOR DARING TO INTIMIDATE THEM!




For daring to intimidate other mothers in her son's school when she drove in an intimidating "Rolls Royce" to go pick up her child, her only son at that- Prince Alexander Akenzua, whom she dotes on, former Mrs Omosede Akenzua, who had since reverted back to her maiden name after her wedding to her ex-husband Prince Aven Akenzua collapsed like a pack of cards only after 2 years a few years ago, has drawn the irk and indignation of fellow mothers at her son's school!

OMOSEDE 36, one of the daughters of the great Esama of Benin, Sir Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion and a younger sibling of the former Governor of Edo, Mr. Lucky Igbinedion; is the eldest daughter of Lady Cherry Igbinedion and a member of the Federal House of Representatives, representing Ovia Federal Constituency had apparently not thought anything was strange and out of place about her going to her son's school in a Rolls Royce to pick him up!

But she was apparently gobsmarked and irritated by the seemingly irresponsible reactions of other mothers, who became openly antagonistic towards her and by extension her son, for her choice of car. Exclaiming on her Instagram page she retorted thus-

“Yesterday (Thursday), I saw a woman run frantic, all because I brought a Rolls Royce to school to pick up Alex. She was so mad! Then she further attracted some other shallow people. One of the ladies said she would bring 4 Rolls Royce’s tomorrow. Another one said she would park in the same spot I did, as the car took up the space of 2 cars. It just made me laugh. You need to see the scene the woman caused. I really thought it was sad.

 Is anyone stopping them? I just don’t get it. I taught my son yesterday that hard work is key and I have always taught him never to compare himself with others, set his targets and aim for them.

What would such parents teach their children? I used to be dropped off and picked from school with a Rolls when I was his age at school in London. It's obvious some people may be materially rich but mentally poor. Its such a shame.

?????? I bet you if I parked a keke right in front of the school gate they would not mind that ???? Maybe na this Government!
Worst of it all is the school asking a teacher to take Alex out of class earlier, as they were causing such a scene. May be these low thinking individuals did not want their kids to see the car and ask them questions. What a shame!

Tomorrow when their kids start stealing or having a complex you wonder why” (sic)

SUJIMOTO (SIJIBOMI OGUNDELE) IN SEARCH OF HIS CINDERELLA! WHO WOULD BE THE LUCKY PRINCESS?

Sijibomi OGUNDELE aka Sujimoto


Siji with guests 

With Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Sijibomi Ogundele is his real  name, but he is also very well known by his exotic sounding moniker or is it alias, Sujimoto.

He is a young and very resourceful man, especially blessed with the "gift of the garb". That he can talk, is second nature to him. He dresses well, he is a dandy who always looks dapper when you encounter him. He runs his own "eponymous'' establishment-Sujimoto; a brand that is into the construction, renovation and marketing of *premium real estate". He has a very ambitious project planned that would take him into the stratosphere, when executed.

He is a man of extraordinary sagacity, he goes to great lengths the make you understand where he is coming from and where he is hoping to land or be in the nearest future!

This very "eligible dude" from the source, who counts as one of his life's icon the Grand Sheikh of Dubai, just very recently waxed very lyrical about his desire to find true love, before the year ends (by Christmas).

In his text found on his Instagram page, he spoke about what the "lucky angel, his princess" that would mesmerise him continuously and sweep him off his feet to fall sweetly, on the magical Aladdin like mat of love would gain for their love for him- His carrot (🥕) which he hopes to crown the lady with- "A beautiful house (home) in Banana Island (that stupendous enclave of the super rich) & a Rolls Royce (we don't know which of the Rolls Royce, but it is still probably one of the best and most luxurious of super cars, but we prefer to refer to it as the 'ultimate chariot').

So damsel, lady, babe where are you hiding? "Prince Charming aka Sujimoto" like the Prince in the Cinderella story is searching for his princess, are you gorgeous enough to wear those gorgeous and very delicate glass slippers? Do you fit the bill? All the "unfine/ugly step sisters need not apply!

It's only 2 more months to December, so get cracking!!!

AYOMIDE AMOSUN AND OLADIPO DABIRI'S SPECTACULAR WEDDING OF THE SEASON 2017

Oladipo & Ayomide 

Bride and Groom with the Cleric

Dipo & Ayo at their Traditional engagement

Governors Rotimi Akeredolu & Abiola AJIMOBI

Otunba Subomi Balogun & Senator Abiola AJIMOBI

Bride & Groom flanked by parents
What should any have expected from this union of 2 powerhouses or should we say titans? The reverberations of this union would still ring for quite awhile to come, due to the sheer opulence that was displayed.

An influential and well respected sitting Governor, in the person of Senator Ibikunle Amosun and his stupendously adorable wife, and an equally well connected former TV gal and former Honourable member of the house many times over and now, the "Senior Special Adviser" to the President of Nigeria on Foreign Relations and the Diaspora", in the person of Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa; These 2 titans were those that came together to become one.

The tall, bespectacled and handsome groom is the SSA's first son "Oladipo Dabiri", while the bride, "Ayomide" is the lawyer daughter, in fact one of the gorgeous daughters of the Governor.

Memnnnnnn!!!! Like her humble mom, Ayo epitomises all the good qualities of a well brought up, well trained child. So well coached, gentle, humble, somewhat quiet and a pretty girl, all good qualities in one package. Dipo is sure one blessed dude.

Dipo himself was the epitome of grace, with good natured mannerism and gentle confidence showing in his gait all through.

Both parents were the perfect hosts/hostesses. And they hosted the world no doubt. Who wasn't here? From respected politicians of note, to notable captains of industries, to well respected royal fathers etc.

THE ROYAL FATHER AND HIS UNBEARABLE BURDEN OF DEBT


He is young and very flamboyant and a well respected royal father at that, he is one that can be described as a triple threat, in fact his esteemed stool is held as very sacred. Given to vanity and wanting to announce that he also wasn't a pushover, by any means to prosecute his ambition at becoming the king of his homestead/domain he went all out. His ambition had always been to get the crown and sit on the throne. So when the opportunity fell into his lap, he left no stone unturned.

Before the opportunity to rise to the stool came, he had always been involved in one deal or the other that were not too clear, to make sure he would get to the throne he engaged the help of a few prominent people, amongst them were other royal fathers, who helped to speak to the powers that be or those who could influence decisions. One out of the royal fathers, was an equally young and flamboyant king too, who went all out for him, believing they were close and also because he was very connected, so it was this one that introduced him majorly to the powers that be, that assured him and made sure all was going to be well.

To further enhance his status, the king to be then went all out borrowing. At a bank he got a loan of half a billion (N500 million Naira), with this he went on a spending spree. Several Prados exchanged hands, not to talk of innumerable numbers of transformers. This wasn't enough though, friends and supporters even contributed greatly here and there. The King needed to elevate his status to match what he perceived was the standard already laid down; there were luxury items befitting a king to be to buy or acquire, the particular distinct watches and jewelry to own, humongous cars to fit the new status, a befitting, stand out palace, the very aura of the well made needed to be fitted into. The former royal father had set a colossal antecedence, that the king wanted to match at all cost.

THAT ELEGUSHI'S CLOSE TO N200 MILLION NAIRA HUMONGOUS ROLLS ROYCE

OBA SAHEED ADEMOLA ELEGUSHI

THE KING & HIS QUEEN

It's the season of ROLLS ROYCE or so it seems. Every liquid man worth his salt seems bent on acquiring one or two or three as a standard to separate the boys from the men!

There are the likes of the great, super stylish Otunba Michael and Olasubomi Balogun, who we hear has a few in his fleet, some have even speculated between 3 & 5 both in Nigeria and abroad.

Just like the Mercedes G63 wagon, which is gradually tending towards becoming "pure water" in Nigeria, which everyone who has a sizeable bank account and investment now sees as a must have to declare their positions, very soon that class act of a car-the Rolls Royce, known all over the world might soon become a prerequisite too.

Imagine that we saw one very recently at a lounge, where the owner and friend came to, to have drinks while eating Nkwobi!

For those very very liquid, one of the ways to differentiate levels now is not having the gradually going common G63 wagon ($150,000 dollars) that's close to N60 million Naira, so to distinct clearly men from boys, seriously made men now do G65 ($360000 dollars) that's more than N140 million plus, which is nearly thrice the cost of the G63, you need to know for you to know the difference.

So also in the Rolls Royce class, there are boys and there are bigger men. In the class of bigger men is that one owned by his royal majesty, the Elegushi of Lagos, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Kusenla III aka Gushi 1, the nickname those close to him, prefers, but that they pronounce as "Gucci".

HAJIA BOLA SHAGAYA AND THAT HUMONGOUS GIFT TO THE EMIR

EMIR MUHAMMADU SANUSI II

BOLA SHAGAYA

KOLA KARIM
There's nothing like having good friends, especially made ones at that, those that are dependable and can be relied upon at anytime. An old saying of the sages even spoke about friends/friendship when it said show me your friends and I can tell you, the kind of person you are. In terms of friends, when it comes to the lady of timber and caliber, in the person of Hajia Bola Shagaya, she has always had them and they are always the very powerful and the highly influential, always occupying positions of extraordinary importance.

We remember very well that during the reign of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonathan, his wife Madam Peace Jonathan and the very stylish businesswoman of great repute, were the best of friends. According to the unconfirmed legend, it was even Hajia that used to take the former first lady then, to the best of places to do her shopping around the world. Same way Mma Bakassi, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa and the richest black African woman on earth, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija have a chummy relationship too, and gets to fly around the world together on trips to Lebanon and other exotic places.

But immediately after that government was sent packing by the current incumbent, madam (Hajia) recoiled back into her shell and quietly kept her distance especially away from unnecessary razzmattazz, making a few to feel at a point that she might have been facing some hard times.
