THOUGH A LOT MORE QUIET NOW, ABISOLA KOLAPO DAISI NEE AJIMOBI STILL KILLING IT ON THE STYLE STAKE

Abisola Kolapo-Daisi is a known style maven. In fact she's one of those who helps to dictate style In Nigeria season in/season out, especially for her age range, that's talking about from the early 30s towards the mid 30s.

That she also has the funds (some would say by her privileged position) to support her love for high class fashion, also helps out a whole lot. Her position amongst some of the most stylish Nigerians around the world was confirmed very recently when she was nominated amongst some of the most badass, stylish fashionistas in Nigeria by BellaNaija, one of Nigeria's best online lifestyle platforms.

Though we didn't quite agree in totality with some of their choices, made up of some or better still many usual suspects, we were in total, in fact absolute agreement with the choice of 'Abisola Kolapo Daisi nee Ajimobi'.

Her style can be defined as quite quirky, very classic, a mixture of the timeless and the avant garde. She loves to play with the mix and she always seem to get it right all of the time & such only normally speaks of a person who has come into their own. Who knows and understands what fits them or gets them the best accolades, as against just wearing labels just for the sake of it. Which is what is prevalent nowadays. You see the so called celebs/stars packing on themselves fakes or better still glaring cheap copies of the originals, just so they can get attention at all cost, like their very existence depends on it. Her bags, shoes and jewelry collection are to die for! Especially the latter, that is, the jewelry collection. It's only when you are close to her though, that you would notice some of the awesome diamonds and rare stones that she adorns elegantly and effortlessly, like they are nothing.

That she sells strictly upscale shoes and bags helps to tell you that someone like her who owns a first class store that caters to those who can afford the very best & so would pay premium, lets you to understand why her collection would be bombastic too, to say the least.

Her Florence H Store, that has been around for a few years now and which is now fully at her own shopping complex, which she co-owns with a friend on Fola Osibo, at Lekki Phase 1 on the island, is the convergence point for those with great taste and that can afford luxury. The store is a beautiful one by all standards. In fact it is very well appointed by all standards too. You cannot enter and go away empty handed by not picking up one thing or the other. And when she's on sales (reduction), you get some of the best and most impossible bargains ever too there.

She went quiet and somewhat underground after her dad finished his tenure as the 1st, 2 termed Governor of Oyo State. He is the first in the history of the state to do 8 years. Though he wanted to go back to the Senate, it wasn't a popular decision at all as the populace didn't think it was a wise decision and therefore voted for another. Like we were saying, though Abisola who is married to one of the sons-Kolapo a banker of Chief Kola DAISI another Oyo state money bag. She's a mother of 3, but that hasn't stopped her at all from always appearing on the best dressed list regularly. She deliberately went under the radar for a short while, but she's now back with a bang doing what she loves the most, standing out fashionably and stylishly.

She was recently at the Fashion Week in Paris, France which is rated as the first amongst equals, doing her stuff elegantly, she in fact attended the 'House of Dior' Show with some of her other super stylish friends in tow. Seems that now that there's no need for her to be too careful as the scrutiny wouldn't be to scathing about her being the daughter of a Governor, spending state's funds, she's made up her mind to do her thing a whole lot now, having a first class ball, whenever, wherever. 

ERSTWHILE FIRST LADY OF OYO DR. MRS FLORENCE AJIMOBI GETS SET FOR BOOK LAUNCH

Since after her husband finished his 2 terms, (first ever to have achieved or performed such a feat, as the Governor of Oyo State), the whole family especially their dazzling matriarch, in the person of Dr. Mrs. Florence Ajimobi seem to have gone into their blissful cocoon. Maybe to go rest away from all the demands, stress, weight and politics of the last 8 years.

Not much was heard from them nor seen even, except fleetingly. The only one in that clan that we caught little glimpses of at all though, was the former first daughter, in the person of the ever delightsome Abisola Kolapo-Daisi, who was somewhat on an extended holiday mood and mode. Being a noted fashionista and known to be a lifestyle merchant, the mother of 3, was seen once in a while dazzling in her upscale, but quirky style and outfits on the social media.

But now after a short while away from the public view, maybe to go dust up her memoirs, Madam, that's referring to Mrs. Ajimobi, has come out of her self built cocoon and come this Saturday, November 9, 2019, the kindhearted lady would be having a conversation with guests as she speaks on her new book-My Life like a Rainbow, said to be a tell all book.

See below what we received.

I would like to invite you to a conversation with my amazing mother - Dr. (Mrs) FLORENCE AJIMOBI about her book “My Life like a Rainbow” on November 9th, 2019 at my store - FLORENCE H Luxury at 11am-2pm.

The book is a tell all and trust me, she’s being through it all and is stronger for it! I promise it will be extremely insightful, engaging and impactful.

It’s a guest list only so please let me know if you would like to bring someone along. The books will be available for sale on the day and also available at all Grandex stores for N2,500 only.

So now we know what Mama has been up to and we hope to be at the venue, to get a dose of how and the ways she did so many of the things she did successfully. The words and advices of the elders are always valued.

WHEN MRS. FLORENCE AJIMOBI OUTGOING 1ST LADY OF OYO CLOCKED 60 & THE LAVISH PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE MILESTONE.

This family, that's talking about the outgoing 1st family of Oyo State, the Ajimobis, led by their patriarch in the person of Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Executive Governor of the pacesetter state have enjoyed an 8 year period of bliss (with some occasional bleeps) in Governance. That's talking about 8 birthdays of all kinds that were celebrated & also a few very lavish weddings too and some other occasions and events too. From when the 1st lady was just 52 years old, when they just came to rule then, till now that she's going away at just 60 years of age these family have enjoyed great attention and they have reveled in it. Madam is still as gorgeous as they come. Dr. Mrs. Ajimobi as truly and very obviously taken care of herself over the years very well.

So in a way this particular birthday, though highly significant because madam has now joined the 60s club (she's now a sexagenarian), it was also some form of send off or send forth for the family. As this was going to be one of the last major celebrations they would have whilst still in Government. So no stone was left unturned to make sure that this was lavish, epic or standout in all ramifications. It was an occasion that was awashed with plenty of prayers, with loads of praise and worship songs. In fact, the guest artiste of the day was none other than the world famous gospel crooner Sinach, who serenaded the birthday mama with her powerful and soul lifting voice. It was a very happy mood all through. The quick gloom from the earlier disappointment of not winning the elections in Oyo State, especially as the Governor was denied powerfully the opportunity of going back again to the Senate seem to have disappeared totally. Now it's all about relief. What does he want again when money is over available like an unlimited fountain that can't be stopped?

Madam in her speech at the occasion was especially magnanimous in her appreciation of her loving husband, who she praised to high heavens and the whole family too. Though madam is a practising Christian, a catholic by upbringing, who is said to be half Lebanese, her husband is a practising Moslem, but both live so good together they should be an example of harmonious living for all.

The 60 year old 1st lady was born in Benin, the capital of the then Bendel state on 'April 5, 1959' to the Hajaig family from Lebanon. So she is née Florence Hajaig. She grew up and schooled in in the ancient city of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and is in fact an Ibadan woman to the core. She had all her schooling in Ibadan, from the primary at "Bodija International School, Ibadan" to the secondary at "Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School, Ibadan" to the tertiary at "The Polytechnic, Ibadan" where she got her degree in Secretarial Studies and Management. Her work career also began in Ibadan too. The mother of 5 adorable children, 4 girls (women) with Abisola Kolapo Daisi as the eldest & a boy (man) who is married to Fatima Ajimobi née Ganduje. She married her doting husband who she's extremely close to till tomorrow in 1980.

It was dance galore at a point during the party, and Abisola being a hotstepper of note, gave the usual good account of herself doing the music good justice.

Happy birthday to the Matriarch of the Ajimobi clan. Long may you live. 

OUTGOING & SUPREMELY STYLISH OYO'S 1ST DAUGHTER ABSIOLA KOLAPO-DAISI ADDS A YEAR & IS IN A REFLECTIVE AND THANKFUL MOOD!

Abisola Kolapo-Daisi is probably one of the most well known child of any of the present Governors in Nigeria. Her dad like we all know, is the outgoing Governor of the Pacesetter state-Oyo, that's talking about Senator Abiola Ajimobi, who in the wake of his loss at the Senatorial election has had much flak thrown his way of recent. But he has the singular honour so far, of being the only Governor of Oyo State since the creation of the state to have done 2 uninterrupted terms as a governor. Apart from the fact that Abisola is the Governor's daughter, which some might ascribe her fame to, she is also famous in her own right because she's a well respected fashionista of note. In fact many have even said she is most probably the most stylish of all the Nigerian Governors' kids, all put together.

Abiola is one well respected personality in the luxury lifestyle business in the country, where she owns a couple of very okay business concerns, one of them is her very upscale shoe store Florence H that caters only to the top fashionistas and very well to do with the HQ at her own shopping complex on famous Fola Osibo Street, Lekki Phase 1. On that same very bustling street, she also owns another very good business a super well stocked, supermarket that is frequented by the very upscale crowd too, known as Grandex! She is also the inspiration behind TLLM, The Luxury Lifestyle Market, an outstanding gathering of Luxury purveyors that comes together periodically. A sort of luxury pop up that can gather anywhere around the world.

The quite humble and somewhat quiet, Oyo's 1st daughter is a year older and as the avalanche of birthday well wishes poured in, with all pouring out love to her and expressing their warmth on her birthday, the impressed birthday gal, overwhelmed and appreciative of it all, poured out her heart in gratitude to all and sundry. Thanking her creator, for those who don't know, Abisola is quite religious or do we say spiritual, she's a Christian though her dad is a practising moslem; promising to be more open. Read her exact words above.

We wish the good friend of the Kardashians and the Haqqs, many more happy returns of the day. 

PDP'S OLUSEYI MAKINDE SLAMDUNKS APC'S BAYO ADELABU BY A VERY WIDE MARGIN

OLUSEYI MAKINDE, Governor Elect, Oyo State

If you try once, twice, thrice and the fourth time, the last time, 4th here can just be your lucky day, so it seems for the PDP Governor Elect in Oyo State in the person of the 51 year old Engineer and Philanthropist per excellence, Mr. OLUSEYI MAKINDE, who incidentally is a Christmas day boy having being born on December 25, 1967. He would be 52 by the end of the year.

Even if anyone wants to ascribe his comprehensive victory to luck, we would like to tell all those in that school of thought that far be it, this is one sweet victory that was won via hardwork, discipline, dedication, perseverance and self belief. It is one victory that was a long time coming. What this victory just attests to is that, whatever good you lay your hands upon to do, remain consistent in it, irrespective of whether you are seen and acknowledged for it, the time that the good would speak and begin to yield result and good tidings would come some day. God is never mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that also shall he reap!!

Seyi Makinde is not a flash in the pan at all and that's why his victory also is sweet, because it is one that's well garnished, well cooked, therefore it is now well served. All over the large expanse Oyo State his hand of goodwill has touched so many lives in their thousands for many years till date. He didn't just start a year ago or even 5 years ago, but for a longwhile now, the plight of those who does not really have, has been uppermost in his heart and he has never shied away from doing it. Even on the eve of the elections itself, the Mogajis attested to that as they gave him their full support. To have the support of the Mogajis (family heads), is like having the tacit support of the Olubadan-in-council. Imagine again that the highly respected Alaafin of Oyo even prayed for his success, before the election. Doesn't that say much?

Apart from his love for charity, the humble man is also a brilliant man to the boot. A graduate of electrical engineering from the famous University of Lagos, who upon graduation served at Shell Petroleum, one of the biggest oil and gas multinationals in Nigeria and from serving there, he was retained as a pupil engineer. It was at Shell and some other companies that he cut his teeth for 5 year, showing his brilliance and becoming a Field Engineer/Field Manager before resigning to set up his own company at the age of 29 in 1997. If that's not preparation for future leadership position, then we don't know what else one needs.

For more than 2 decades now, he has honed his skill, pushing through in the kind of terrain that can break the back of the most hardworking and the strongest. In the adjoining years he added other professional certificates too, he even went to one of the most prestigious schools in the world in America, that's talking about the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA better known by its initials MIT.

For one to better understand the man's doggedness, he had twice vied for Senatorial positions over the years and on both occasions 2007 & 2011) he lost. But he was never perturbed as he still believed that is time would come. Just like the Nigerian President, PMB who had tried till the 4th time before the good came his way. Jettisoning his ambition to become a lawmaker (Senator), he tried for the Governorship of Oyo State for the first in 2015, though he had a great chance, but he was robbed of the opportunity to represent his party the PDP then by the same party, so in protest he dumped the party and stood for the Governorship on the platform of the SDP, though he did his best he still lost. Again though he was disappointed by the outcome  he wasn't still totally deflated.

This time around, his party the PDP knowing they had done him bad went abegging. They understood the fact they needed to close ranks, so fences were mended and he again tried for the primaries and this time again won and he was allowed finally to represent the PDP for the Gubernatorial election in 2019 and now the rest is history.

Truth be told one of Seyi Makinde's strength is his love for his people and the people too have now reciprocated back in kind. Here was someone who without ever been in Government before at any level had cared so much for the welfare of hos people. There are the countless number of Oyo state indigenes under his sponsorship. He is not seen as being high up there, with his nose held high up, unapproachable. Not the type that does things for people as a favour. He has been there done that and we repeat again not a flash in the pan, who only came into his people's consciousness a year or 2 ago and only because he needed the people to become something.

One of the things that also endeared Seyi Makinde to his people and that led to the massive support he has gotten is also his legendary humility, a far cry from the arrogance of the head of the outgoing Government of the ruling party. That arrogance also might have pushed many of the people away from the APC, to support a man that is seen as a man of the people.

So at the election on Saturday, March 9, 2019 across the whole of Oyo State, the citizens spoke with their votes, which was the only power they could wield. Not only did they vote massively for the PDP Gubernatorial candidate Seyi Makinde, they also voted massively for the PDP state house of assembly candidates too, thereby sweeping the elections showing they wanted a totally new style and party at the helm.

At the end of the day, Engineer Oluseyi Makinde of the People's Democratic Party PDP, polled a total of 515,621 votes to massacre the APC candidate, who got a total vote of 357,982 winning by a margin of 157,639 votes. So having polled the majority of the votes and having satisfied the requirements as stated by the electoral laws, Mr. Oluseyi Makinde was declared the winner and the Governor elect of Oyo State 2019. The humble son of a teacher turned accountant, who rose by the dint of hardwork, discipline and dedication to his position today in life, would by the grace of the Almighty God, run the affairs of the pacesetter state for the next 4 years. Oyo State is in for 4 exciting new years ahead.

He deserves our accolades and we gladly from the bottom of our heart give it to him by saying "take a well deserved BOW".

With this victory now, the likes of former Governor Christopher Alao Akala, outgoing Governor Senator Abiola Ajimobi have all totally lost their political relevance, what a shame!!!! 

#NIGERIADECIDES2019 IN LAGOS AND KWARA STATE. ONLY A MIRACLE CAN CHANGE WHATS HAPPENING NOW.

Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu 

Abdulrahaman AbdulRazaq 

Dapo Abiodun 

Except a miracle that would be totally outstanding happens, then and only then would the tide change and maybe, the opposition in Lagos and the ruling party in Kwara State might have a chance to change what is looking like the inevitable.

Though the election in Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria, that is supposed to lead by example was somewhat blighted by voters apathy, with the numbers of voters drastically reduced, compared to what had obtained at the February 23, 2019 Presidential and Federal House of assembly elections, even at that people still went about to vote and majority of the votes have been for the APC, which is the leading party in the state of excellence.

If the tide of event would continue like it is already in many units and no miracles would occur to change things from other polling units, then the candidate of the APC in the person of Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu would most definitely coast home to victory by a large margin. If that would happen, then a new Governor from the ruling party, would be taking over from the outgoing incumbent, in the person of his excellency, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. If as we have gotten our feelers, until the official results are released, everything for now are still based on speculations.

As per Kwara State, where the "O to ge" enough is enough phenomenon has swept through the state like a Tsunami uprooting their former, seemingly indespatchable oak tree, if feelers we have also gotten from our people on the ground are anything to go by, then a new executive Governor from the APC could be sworn in before June 2019 to steer the train of the state.

If the report of the defeat of the PDP & her candidate is ratified eventually by the electoral umpire, which is INEC as true, what that portends for the former strongman of Kwara State politics in the person of Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the outgoing Senate President is a total annihilation, a totally embarrassing and shameful defeat in all ramifications. And that can only be tagged as a massive humbling and humiliation, the full and final slamdunk. If it goes like it's been predicted, then it's the seal of political oblivion for the outgoing Senate President.

In Ogun State, where we had thought that the Gubernatorial election would be fought 4 ways, the surprising thing is that it has only been a contest between 2 political parties and 2 main characters or personalities and they are APC vs. APM, Dapo Abiodun vs. Adekunle Akinlade. For the other 2 parties namely the PDP & ADC and their candidates, in the persons of Buruji Kashamu and Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, it has been an abysmal showing so far, except they would gain some extraordinary votes in what could be called their strongholds or enclaves, their overall showing at the end of it all might just be embarrassing.

So far, Dapo Abiodun from all indications, seems to be having a great showing and if he continues like he has started, then the outgoing Governor, in the person of Senator Ibikunle Amosun might just be handing over to his former friend, now turned enemy who he totally dislikes now just because of politics.

In Oyo State it's too close to call for now. With both men from the APC & the PDP both having good showings in their strongholds. But like it was expected, the outgoing Governor of the State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi again disappointedly, couldn't win his polling unit for his party, the APC, losing again to the PDP. So it's more like he has become a liability rather than an asset for the ruling party in his state. If care is not taken, there's the possibility that it could be a change of baton in the state. 

NIGERIA'S NOS 1 FIRST DAUGHTER/FIRST CHILD- ABISOLA KOLAPO-DAISI IS OFFICIALLY THE MOST STYLISH!

Abisola Kolapo-Daisi

We think Abisola Kolapo-Daisi operates only via a code or should we put properly via a particular, time honoured mantra, that "if you work hard, then you are allowed to play hard too", which very well connects to another time honoured saying that says "all work and no commensurate play, makes Jack, in this case Abisola a dull babe" and from all indications, Abisola ain't no slouch at all, neither is she dull in any way or manner.

So at every given opportunity or moment that she gets, she doesn't for any reason whatsoever, compromise on her well-being.

It's obvious that takes her vacation or relaxation time very very seriously. Ever ready at the drop of a hat to indulge in good dose of therapy to unwind and get the mind ready for another great business opportunity that comes her way.

Though her dad's reign as the Executive Governor of Oyo State, where he has blazed the trail is gradually winding down, emerging as the 1st Governor ever in the history of the state to win a 2nd term, something that was an "impossicant" before! Abisola has held us spellbound all through, with her style, gorgeousness and her entrepreneurial sass. It must be very well understood though that, Bisola's shining didn't just start now or even when her dad became a Governor oooooo, no oooooo not at all, far from it. She was already a rising star, a shinning star at that, already on the projectile before her whole family came into the limelight, having being0 a friend to the friends of the number 1, American TV reality series stars, the Kardashains. So no be today oooooo at all!

Abisola Abiola-Ajimobi as she was known then before she got married, had been representing since her days in Anerica and she continued after she got married well too, to one of the sons of the  well known and well respected, Ibadan multimillionaire businessman, Chief Kola Daisi, in the person of the suave and handsome investment banker, Kolapo Kola-Daisi.

For many who might think Abisola is just sitting pretty and just enjoying the largesse of being the daughter, the first child at that of a 2 term Governor of a state (maybe going back to the Senate after his reign), who incidentally before his ascendancy to the seat of Government, was also a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who before that itself, had risen to the pinnacle of his career at a well-known Oil and Gas firm, they might have to have a rethink. This is so because, Abisola is an extraordinary goal-getter and a very hardworking businesswoman, who is just very stylish and in your face too.

Apart from the fact that she owns one of Lagos most happening lifestyle store, stocking and selling some of the most sought after brands in female shoes. In fact, her well appointed store in Victoria Island by the name Florence-H located on Shehu Musa Y'Adua, can rival any of the top stores that does the same things abroad, either in Paris, London, New York, Monaco, Rome or Tokyo! We mean very well that when you are in the store, you are immediately transported like you are in one of those international stores abroad. That's not all, Abisola also owns a very well-planned, well-thought out, very well appointed, very well stocked supermarket, on 2 floors in a whole building on Fola Osibo Street, Lekki-Phase 1. You are too sure to get anything you desire for at this well-stocked supermarket. And It does not just end there, as she is also a part of her sister's (Bimbo) standard bakery too, though not much! But from all indications, she also owns her own very private event and lifestyle brand, that brand put together during the year her first ever luxury lifestyle market fair, which was an outstanding success! It still does not end there, as we heard that Bisola's brand handled her younger brother's out of this world's billion Naira wedding, which got everyone salivating and saluting for an impressive job well done. It was class and distinction all the way during the many days occasion. From Kano to Ibadan, it was topnotch and everything worked out perfectly, at least that supported the saying that "good soup na money kill am"! From all indications she must have made some cool money from handling that event alone, which had 2 Governors and their families uniting in holy matrimony!

And from information we could still gather, all the businesses we have mentioned are only the very public ones, we hear the quiet and quite shrewd businesswoman might still have a hand in some other quite interesting and money making pies too, that might not be known or thar are yet to be unveiled.

So know now, when you see Abisola lounging or luxuriating, or having some very exclusive fun me time, at some of those spots you dream of going to or when you see her decked top to toe, from her head to her heels in some of those outfits that makes you want to eat your heart out, know very well also that she's worked so hard for the money (singing in Donna Summers voice), so you had better treat her right and not speculate unnecessarily. What we know for certain is that Abisola is a fashionista and style maven to the core and maybe a bit restricted in fact by the fact that she's the daughter of a serving Governor. That fact alone might not have allowed her to soar like a free bird like she would have wanted. One thing we can tell you for free also is that her jewelry game is not for kids at all, although not for her the vulgar outlandish and in your face ones, that shouts at all to see and bow, but those who knows know the real real and the authentic McCoy.

To round it all up, believe it or not, Abisola is a serious, very prayerful Christian, following after her mom's faith as her dad is a practising Moslem.

More after the break.

IS SHINA ABIOLA PELLER ALREADY AN HONOURABLE MEMBER OF THE HOUSE?

Honourable SHINA ABIOLA PELLER ? 

Young, handsome, successful, wealthy, sociable and highly connected, those are a few of the adjectives that perfectly describes the incomparable SHINA PELLER, the chairman and MD/CEO of Aquila Group of Companies, under which is probably West Africa's most successful nite club/lounge to date-Club Quilox.

The socialite and businessman par excellence, who apart from his successful entertainment company via which he has conquered the fun scene, who also owns his own oil and gas firm and is now getting set to also conquer the tupsy-turvy world of politics, is getting set to sweep all off their feet come 2019 as he wants to represent his party APC at the Federal House of Representative in his domain comprising of Iseyin (where he is a high powered, honourable Chief of his village), Itesiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa all in Oyo State.

With the groundswell of support that has followed his declaration a few days back, the ultimate philanthropist might be coasting home to victory already whenever the time comes for people of those areas mentioned need to come out for elections.

It is very obvious with how things have panned out that the young, smart dude may have always had the political plans since which he kept to his heart, but has only just come out now at what he sees as the best time to do so. For those who might not know where the confidence that has pushed him to declare for politics came from, Shina is an unofficial political son of the great Asiwaju of the universe, in the person of the great Jagaban Borgu, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

For those with the right understanding, they have come to know now that a stamp of approval of any kind from the Asiwaju, a thorough bred political juggernaut from the South West part of Nigeria whose tentacles has spread across Nigeria is likened, to an express endorsement from the great strategist. Not only has Shina gotten the support of the SW political godfather, the successful businessman, is also very well recognised at home, where he hails from, having the ears of his king, the royal father of Iseyin, the Aseyin of Iseyin, His Royal Majesty, Oba Dr AbdulGaniyu Adekunle Salaudeen and other members of the Royal council. Not just that alone, long before now, his homestead and environs have always enjoyed the very visible warm embrace of his philanthropy on many levels.

Shina 42, probably the most recognised of the kids of the great magician known popularly as the late Prof. PELLER has always put his money where his mouth is, not just in the village, but even those around him in Lagos know him to be a shrewd but jolly good friend too who is ever ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. The likes of K1 the ultimate and many others cannot just stop praising the young man's name to high heavens.

So would the great 'Olowo Idan' (the dude with the magic touch) as he is known or called by many who know him already on his way to the House? That's most likely a resounding YES!!! 

PART 2 OF IDRIS AND FATIMA AJIMOBI'S HUMONGOUS WEDDING PARTY. WHEN IBADAN SHOOK TO ITS MARROW!

Couple's dance

To say so much again about this wedding would be to do an over kill of the extraordinary order. Good money, plenty of it obviously was expended no doubt and for that, what would one have expected when children of 2 state Governors were joined together, both of who are Chief executives of 2 massive states, Oyo & Kano!

Is it about the Caliber of those that converged at the venue? They were as expected the creme de la creme of the society, in Government, Business, Private and public sector, diplomatic corps etc. The president of the federation was well represented here by his wife, whilst also the VP and his wife, Prof Yemi Osinbajo and Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo were in attendance too.

The Chairman of this Ibadan occasion, Chief Kola Daisi is none other than the father of Senator Abiola Ajimobi's son in law, "Kolapo Kola-Daisi", who is married to Abisola Kola Daisi, the first daughter and child of the state Governor, Senator Abiola AJIMOBI. .

With the caliber of those at the occasion, no expense whatsoever was spared at all to host them. It was a good return match by all standards, by the Ajimobi's after being hosted to a superlative Kano event by the Ganduje's in their own homestead, only last week.

Part of the highlight of this Ibadan occasion, was when Fatima's dad conferred on his son-in-law a new warrior title of Seriki Nyaki, which translates to Chief Warrior of Kano. Like we had said before, this wedding between the AJIMOBI'S of Ibadan and Ganduje's of Kano, is actually an example of bridge building across tribal lines.

The beautiful event took place at the Agodi Gardens in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Again, congratulations to the couple and we wish them a happy married life!

Beautiful bride getting set

The ancient city of Kano became the focal point for many hours yesterday, March 3, 2018. Nigeria, at least a sizeable chunk of the power that makes Nigeria tick and tock, gathered to celebrate 2 young lovers. The gathering of these high powered blend or mix, was because they were the children of 2 well known and well respected states Chief Executives, in the persons of Senator Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and his Kano counterpart, Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.

For Ganduje, it was his beautiful, very stylish, very brilliant daughter, by name Fatima "Baby" Abdullahi Ganduje, a First Class graduate of International and Comparative Politics, from the renowned American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa. For AJIMOBI, it was his son, in fact only son, an equally brilliant and handsome, but quiet dude, by name Idris Abolaji Abiola-Ajimobi.

For you to better understand what we meant by Nigeria gathered in Kano temporarily, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammad Buhari, GCFR was in attendance, the Vice President of Nigeria was well represented by his very nice wife, Mrs. Dolapo "Dolly" Osinbajo, whose daughter's wedding is forthcoming this month also. The 3rd in the hierarchy of power, who would be a most prominent feature come 2019 presidential election, Senator/Dr Bukola Saraki, the Senate President was in attendance. 22 Governors out of 36 state Governors were in attendance! Likes of Nasir El Rufai-Kaduna, Akinwunmi Ambode-Lagos, Ibikunle Amosun-Ogun, Rochas Okorocha-Imo, Yahaya Bello-Kogi, Rauf Aregbesola-Osun, Abdul'Aziz Abubakar Yari-Zamfara, Badaru Abubakar-Jigawa etc.  Those who couldn't attend sent representatives. More than 11 Ministers attended, not less than 10 Royal fathers from across Nigeria were in attendance, one of those seen was the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, the Iku Baba Yeye himself and yet there were captains of industries likes of Aliko Dangote, BUA Grp's AbdulSamad Isiyaku Rabiu etc, top members of the diplomatic corps and so many more high powered guests from everywhere.

The wedding itself was packed full with much drama. It's not everyday that the highly respected and revered monarch, HRM, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II would conduct a wedding ceremony by himself, ably assisted by the Chief Iman, Prof Sani Zarahaddeen! While the groom was represented by none other than the President himself, who gave out the ₦50000 dowry, the bride was ably represented by the APC National leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who received the dowry!

It was a beautiful occasion in all ramifications, a blend of the very colourful traditions and cultures of the South (Yoruba) and the North. At a point in the whole colourful and rich event, Abolaji the groom temporarily became the King of Wakanda, when he sat on a throne like chair and his friends around him playfully did the sign of the Wakandan elite soldiers.

MM EXCLUSIVE- BABY (FATIMA) WEDS IDRIS GETS MARCH 3 & 10, 2018 DATES!

Lovebirds- Idris and Fatima

Fatima "baby" Abdullahi Ganduje

When 2 elephants unite, you all already know what to expect! These elephants here are the families of the the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi of Ibadan and that of Kano State, Alhaji Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.

Come Saturday, March 3, 2018 by noon in the beautiful city of Kano, 2 extraordinary lovebirds, who we are so into each other, that it's bordering on something else in the persons of 'Fatima "Baby" Abdullahi Ganduje' and 'Idris Abolaji Abiola-Ajimobi', the first son of Oyo State who is the younger brother of the super stylish Abisola Kola-Daisi, and in fact the only son of the Oyo State Governor, would seal their love for each other at a Nikkai ceremony (Wedding Fatiha) that would take place at the Central Mosque, located inside the Emir of Kano's Palace ground.

If the events that have taken place already are feelers towards what to expect, then though the Kano event is just the small part of the ceremonies, we expect the grounds to shake with the sheer numbers of heavyweights that are expected to converge in Kano come through date of the event.

We can tell you exclusively that all things are been done to make it a beautiful, very secured, top notch of a traditional occasion, that would highlight our beautiful but diverse cultural heritages to the height. What else can one expect, when the honourary father of the bride and even the occasion is the Emir of Kano himself, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II.

We can reveal to you without any doubt, that the AJIMOBIs and select friends would just be popping back into Nigeria from South Africa, where Idris's "bachelor's eve" was held.

Much as the Kano gathering is the event it is still the periphery, as the major party from the feelers we have gotten is going to be on the next Saturday following March 3, which is Saturday, March 10, 2018 at a venue not yet released but that would be most definitely in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital., where the Ajimobis, from all indications would lay out the red carpet without restrictions.

So the honey coated month of March 2018, where humongous weddings would take place is here and the wedding to open the floodgate is that of Idris and Fatima and we are already very excited. Especially as we would enjoy all the fun of this particular one.

Feelers we have gotten as per one of the other big upcoming wedding, that's between Jamil Abubakar and Fatima Dangote though is that it might be shut out from the press/media. So let's at least enjoy this more open one.
