HOW COME THIS ADMINISTRATION WAS ABLE TO STIFLE MR. JIDE OMOKORE'S GLOW?

Jide Omokore 

Someone should please sound the alarm! Someone should please go to the mountain top to shout it out. Who can one report this present Government to? How could they have stopped the shine of a man who was like the virgin bride everyone wanted to court then? What kind of a kill joy are you??

During the days of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, the name Jide Omokore, the Kogi billionaire was a virtual door opener anywhere.. This billionaire rode the waves admiration like a colossus. Not many wealthy men were in his category or class as he was in a Liga all by himself. His legend preceded him. And it wasn't just in Nigeria alone then. The UAE, the USA & other countries of the world took notice and ate from his palm. He and his super close friend, the other stupendously wealthy dude by name Kola ALUKO, the only blackman to have owned a 100M rated luxury yatch, were unmatchable then. These 2 controlled private jets like it was a bus to carry people around from place to place. Even those who had made billions before them, couldn't match these duo's razzmatazz and effect. In fact many of the wealthy then, took back seats and were watching the new blockbuster epic that was rolling then. These 2 new kids on the block were the ones reigning, so all others had to take notice & learn by example. The duo knew the color of money inside out very well. They had enslaved & lassoed money into submission and they knew its secrets and how to send it on errands. Money in all its grace, glory and height, knew who was its boss. The kind of gifts that Mr. Omokore gave out then to those around him were staggering to say the least. That particular legend we cannot just talk about. We used to know a lawyer that worked for him, whose favorite car amongst several other super cars he owns, was a Rolls Royce, a stunning blue one in fact. This person's home inside Nicon Estate then was a statement in class and distinction.

At the height of Mr. Omokore's reign then, before this crazy time of forced quietude, his SPOG Petrochemicals, one of the companies under his control was a major beehive of activities. It was one of the major companies then that people wanted to be identified with. That same brand like its boss has gone deathly quiet too, unlike how it used to be.

We would never ever forget how for a few days, years back, Mr. Omokore literally nearly took over Dubai. That oil rich Emirate that is a tourist haven felt the power of the Nigerian billionaire in an awesome way, when his 1st son married the daughter of the man then in charge of one of the richest government parastatals. The number of private jets that ferried people to and fro Dubai for that wedding of the season was unprecedented. Dubai knew some major African heavyweights landed in town  that week. The number of ministers or better still Government officials, plus royal fathers and other guests that attended was unbelievable. The gifts that those privileged to attend got were unmatchable till date.

But just as suddenly like a bolt out of the blues that he emerged on the scene and razzled-dazzled all comers, this man of immense means just also so suddenly receded into his anonymous cocoon. Is it that he is not as fiendishly wealthy as he used to be again? How could this Government have so stifled a super generous billionaire like Uncle Jide? Why hound the gentleman into a cave like he is comatose? In fact, what is wrong with this administration?

KOLA ALUKO, THE CAT WITH 9 LIVES






The last few months or should we say few years have been a trying period and have not been easy at all for this dude, but like a strong General that he is, in fact like a war veteran of note, especially one with extraordinary adaptive abilities, one of the most visible African businessmen ever in the world by name Kola Aluko who has had to face so so much has seen it all and from the little we hear, from the depth of near absolute despair he is gradually getting back on his feet, slow and quite steadily.

It hasn't been an easy road to tread at all for him in anyway. Imagine from he being someone so very well celebrated across board by all and sundry, such an African global rising star in the eye of all, in fact an icon to many at that, to suddenly become someone in the eye of the storm. A near fugitive, like a pariah sort of, the one that those who used to fawn about, now try avoid or even run far way from. But like all strong people, he gallantly withstood the storm, though the thunder struck and the whirlwind bellowed and raged, he stood his ground like a warrior. Like it has been said and we paraphrase, It is only where the battle rages the most and the  trouble is very much that we see a gallant warrior and that we would get to know the stuff of which such warriors are made.

From owning some of the best, most jaw dropping properties and things across the globe, being able to enter just about anywhere at the drop of a hat, being a friend to all the noted who-is-who businessmen/women, celebrities, Government Officials across the globe, suddenly things went awry, so much so that he had to hibernate and has had to go deep into his cocoon, to go restrategize. It seems like that alone period has worked somewhat and from the little we are hearing, he might be on his way back from hell and he is gradually climbing back as he was then..

From all indications though, it's not ever going to again be business as usual as it used to be then, that boy about town of then, who was always in the limelight for just the fun of it, that hell-raiser of yore, whose philosophy then was to work very hard and play equally as hard too, if not more, has since become a much more matured man. So watch out for a new improved much circumspect Kola Aluko. No ooooo, he ain't gonna charge from being his super generous, very giving, very caring, very friendly, very selfless self. But now, he would be far more calculative and more careful.

Salute to quintessential good dude. In fact a man for all seasons.

NO HIDING PLACE FOR KOLA ALUKO & JIDE OMOKORE AS THE US GOVERNMENT CLAMPS DOWN ON THEIR ASSETS

Kola Akanni Aluko

Olajide Omokore

Diezani Allison-Madueke
..with Naomi Campbell and crew

  ..with P Diddy
It's most definitely not the best of times for these duo of very very liquid fellow and their best friend in the persons of Kolawole Akanni Aluko, OlaJide Omokore and by extension Diezani Allison-Madueke as the searchlight of the US Government has somehow caught up with them.

Except they can come up with some extraordinary arguments via their lawyers to stop the big hammer that is coming down on them, they are on their way to losing many of their very prized assets or possession, chief of which is that humongous and awesomely beautiful luxury boat owned by Mr. ALUKO, named the Galactica Star rated at about $80 million dollars and also a $50 million dollars rated condominium in Manhattan's 157W 57th Street, New York amongst others.

Kola ALUKO & Naomi Campbell

At the height of their reign as very big boys before what they would now term this unnecessary and irresponsible scrutiny, both very very liquid men apparently went haywire on a buying binge, picking up exclusive properties and assets here and there all over the world as they deemed okay.

Imagine that Kola's luxurious yacht is rated as one of the most expensive in the world, it rates on the list as one of the top 40 most luxurious and expensive yacht. It was seen and acknowledged then as the height of saying "see me I have arrived and I own the world". Kola's acquisitions wasn't limited to just that; this friend of Naomi Campbell, P Diddy and the likes also owned some of the best and most expensive properties money could acquire around the world, same as the more quiet but also asset loving Jide Omokore. Kola's LA home is humongous and one of the very best money could have acquired.

Now that the "Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative", a searchlight initiative of the US Government to seize any alleged proceeds of corruption has beemed her light on some of these valued assets valued at about $144 million dollars, except both men can legitimately explain how they came about the funds to buy most of things, they are likely to forfeit them.

BILLIONAIRE KOLA ALUKO GETS NEW TOY- THE $100M DOLLARS GALACTIC STAR SUPERYACHT

KOLA ALUKO
BUGATTI YEAR OF THE DRAGON

There's no doubt about it that Mr. Kola Aluko is a certified billionaire many times over and not in Naira oooo. Just in case you are wondering. We cannot stop marveling about this gentle colossus, who used to be one of the quiet made men until very recently. 


Close friend & business partner of another super rich dude in the person of the Chairman/CEO of SPOG Petrochemicals- Otunba Jide Omokore, remember the super rich dude that shook Dubai a couple of months ago with a $8m dollars super duper wedding he is also a good friend of so many other highly connected individuals. The way Mr. Kola Aluko rolls, many other rich peeps or should we say wealthy individuals would most definitely learn one or 2 things from him on how to have great fun. 

Should we begin to talk about this man's different homes? The 2 in Los Angeles, California, USA is out of this world. There are humongous homes in Monaco, France, London and many other great parts of the world. He is also said to be one of the owners of an apartment at the most expensive apartment building in Manhattan, New York. He loves to stay at the Plaza near or opposite Bergdoff Goodman in New York.

Let's move away from homes or edifices to cars, Kola Aluko is a car buff extraordinaire, think about the super cars and he has it. He owns 2 of the best and fastest normal cars in the world, the Bugatti Veyron. One of the Bugatti is a 2 million Pounds plus Bugatti 'Year of the Dragon'  a very limited edition Bugatti which was made to commemorate the Chinese Year of the Dragon last year. 

Mr Aluko is also the biggest black Ferrari client in the UK, he buys his from H.R Owen Britain's leading luxury motor dealer. Apart from having in his garages around the world some of those machines dreams are made of, he personally owns a Formular 1 racing team called Kessel racing team, just like the McLaren, India, Ferrari teams. To show how he loves racing so much, he even hired Ferrari instructors to train him & his team, the only man to do so.

OLUWATOSIN & FAIZER OMOKORE'S MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR WEDDING, THEY HAD WANTED HUSH-HUSH!!!

TOSIN & FAIZER
Why they had wanted this wedding hush-hush baffles us. It's a sheer spectacle that they should have allowed us to see, so that all can dream to get to this level one day. . Many of those who got invited and were able to enter have had only one thing to say, that this is ''the society wedding of the decade, bar none''. They are even insinuating that there has been no wedding even in recent times that could match this particular one in terms of sheer extravagance & opulence. The money spent, which is in Dollars: Is in Millions of Dollars. Someone estimated that about $8 million dollars must have been spent. That's not even up to a day's money coming in from one of the 8 oil wells. Dubai, especially the venues used would not forget, and would never forget in a hurry as Nigeria & Nigerians were put on the map for another reason entirely (As those who have the money in torrents or like a flood and are not afraid to spend it to enjoy the very best of life. If you doubt us, go to Harrods & Selfridges and mention some names and the doors would open for you like an expressway, with you getting treatments reserved for royalties.
