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!!!! 

SATURDAY VIBE- 1ST DAUGHTER ABISOLA KOLAPO DAISI DAZZLES WITH HOTNESS OVERLOAD

The photo speak says it all, no need to write many words here. Like it is said, just a picture can say a thousand words and 2 or more pictures says even far more.

So we have thought to allow the pictures here to convey it all.

Here looking red 'deliciously' hot🔥💥♨️💯, just in case you don't know her or you are a 1st time visitor on this platform, she is none other than the amiable Abisola Kolapo-Daisi, the beautiful wife of handsome and brilliant investment banker, Kolapo Kola-Daisi, a mother of 3, who is the owner of Florence H boutique, the founder of "The Luxury Lifestyle Market TLLM" and also MD of Grandex Supermarket, on Fola Osibo, Lekki 1 and also the 1st daughter of the Governor of Oyo State, his excellency Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

She is a known fashionista by all standards. And she's giving us awesome Saturday vibe in a swimwear, looking red hot! 

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.

GOVERNOR ABIOLA AJIMOBI CLOCKS 68 AND GETS MASSIVE, AWESOME HEART GRATIFYING BIRTHDAY GIFTS!

Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola & ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU

So it was the 68th birthday of the Executive Governor of Oyo State of Nigeria, "Senator Abiola Adeyemi Ajimobi triple A's" yesterday.

His date of birth being December 16, 1949 having being born in Oja'ba Ibadan and as a massive birthday gift (s), the only Governor of that state to have ever gotten a 2nd term as a Governor (a major jinx breaking feat) received into the APC camp with some of his party heavyweights-(the likes of the National leader of the APC and Jagaban of Borgu, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola), 2 political colossi in the persons of the former Executive Governor of the same state, in fact the predecessor to Senator Ajimobi, the strongman of Ogbomosho- Chief Christopher Alao Akala and Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin, both of who until yesterday were very strong members of the opposition party, the PDP in Oyo State, juggernauts in the political space of Oyo.

With their defection from the opposition to what they have termed and tagged the progressives, they have further deflated and decimated the conservatives and a party that is still doing its best to survive the comatose lethargy that it has fallen into for sometime now. The PDP is grasping for air to survive and those expected to give it the kiss of life, are gradually abandoning her.

Just like it was in Lagos, when former Minister of State for Defence Senator Musiliu Olatunde Obanikoro officially declared for the APC with a mammoth crowd in tow, it was somewhat of the same when these 2 political gladiators also changed alliance and declared for the ruling party.

In his address at the rally to welcome the defectors, ASIWAJU Bola Ahmed Tinubu said, the APC has “a stainless kitchen” that is large enough to accommodate as many cooks as possible.

Allaying fears on how to manage the political differences of the political heavyweights joining the party, Tinubu noted that the APC has a variety of menu in the political kitchen for the future of the country.

OYO STATE'S HELMSMAN SENATOR ABIOLA AJIMOBI & WIFE LUXURIATES ON A YACHT

We don't know why relaxing, when it is highly needed needs to cause any form of hoopla whatsoever. Even doctors world over recommends it. And it seems like that was the case with the discovery of the above picture.

The Yoruba's having a time honoured saying that goes thus "The very relentlessly hardworking one, also deserves the time and luxury to relax too", it's an assertion that we readily agree with strongly, especially as another saying says "All work and no play, makes Jack a full boy"!

So after all the stress of governance in his state, coupled with the myriads of other things that he has to grapple with everyday, everytime, the lovable executive Governor of the state of Oyo, in fact the record breaking 2nd termer in the person of his Excellency, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and his wife, Florence who is still a delectable beauty  any day took time very recently, to have their own "me"/us" time away from the whole weight of stress. At least so that the Governor can see clearly too. No one wants any dullness of any kind!

From the look of things, it is obvious that both very loving couple didn't allow any thing of any kind to disturb both from luxuriating on the luxury yatch or boat they were on, breathing clean air endlessly and having a fun and very relaxing time. It's very obvious from the picture that this 2 are so very into each other and enjoys each others good company.

Now we know the secret behind many of the great decisions of his excellency.

Kudos sir and madam! More grease! 

AJIMOBI AND GANDUJE HUMONGOUS INTRODUCTION IN KANO!

Idris flanked by 4 Governors 

Idris & Baby

If the introduction is an indication of what is coming, then we should expect a mother of all weddings either late this year of the first quarter of next year, that is 2018.

Yesterday, Friday, November 10, 2017 was the introduction ceremony between the daughter, Fatima Baby Ganduje of the current Governor of the good state of Kano, Umar Ganduje and her beau, Idris Abolaji Ajimobi the only son of the Governor of Oyo State, in the person of his excellency, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and his stupendously gorgeous wife, Madam Florence AJIMOBI.

To show that it wasn't just an anyhow ceremony, at least not less than 11 Governors and other special guests gathered to be a part of the ceremony. Some of the Governors seen, who came to give support to one of their own were Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos, AbdulFatai Ahmed of Kwara, AbdulAziz Yari of Zamfara, Kashim Shettima of Borno, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa, Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina, Senator Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun and Alhaji Abubakar Baguda of Kebbi.

The ceremony held at the Palace of the "Emir of Kano, Alhaji Lamido Muhammadu Sanusi II", who consented to the proposal on behalf of the father of the gorgeous bride to be. The Emir in his statement said, "the Union is a way of cementing relationships as well as destroying stereotypes between the South and Northern Nigeria".

Responding on behalf of the Groom's father, Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State thanked the Emir and his fellow Govsrnor, Alhaji Umar Ganduje, the father of the lovely bride for approving the proposal.

"Abolaji Idris AJIMOBI", had earlier in September of 2017, gushingingly revealed his heartthrob on the social media, when he celebrated his love for her.

OONI OF IFE SEEMS TO HAVE PICKED A SIDE IN THE BATTLE BETWEEN OLUBADAN VS. AJIMOBI

By virtue of the revered stool the Oonirisa, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, the Ojaja II occupies he is seen and acknowledged as the number 1 monarch amongst all the royal fathers in Yorubaland. So whatever his Imperial majesty does is seen and accepted as the actions of the gods, since he is the official representative of Oduduwa, the acclaimed founding father of the Yoruba race.

Succession towards the very respected Olubadan stool before the recent actions of the Oyo State Government led by Senator Abiola AJIMOBI, used to be very rancour free. There was the clear cut path towards becoming the next Olubadan. So everyone on the line knew where they were and accepted their positions without issues. But the state government then came on board, and felt that the rancour free path though great, was now obsolete and felt they could rejig it by elevating all the chiefs around the royal father also to lesser level crown wearing kings.

That decision was not very welcomed by the Olubadan at all. Who felt and believed that for any elevation to occur, if it should occur at all, should be done by the Olubadan and the Olubadan-in-council and then by extension even if there was any reason to review the so called "obsolete succession constitution", it was strictly the purview of the Olubadan and the Olubadan-in-council.

But the Government of Oyo State didn't see the whole process in that way, so they did their review, did the gazette and immediately elevated the Chiefs to kings, pitching the newly elevated kings against their ultimate king-the Olubadan Oba Saliu Adetunji. To reverse the so called anomaly, the Olubadan has since instituted a court case.

But while all this drama is on going in the background, Yorubaland's number 1 monarch, the Ooni who should normally not be involved in any type of unneccesary drama that involves the stool of other notable kings, is seen in a picture that has gradually gained traction by the day, in his palace with those newly crowned kings which has been translated as a form of endorsement of those 21 kings and his support of Governor AJIMOBI .

OLUBADAN VS OLUBADAN IN COUNCIL. AND GOVERNOR AJIMOBI'S TRICKY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY

Oba Saliu Adetunji​

Governor of Oyo, Senator Abiola Ajimobi

There's already a growing sense of discord pervading the atmosphere in Ibadan land, in Oyo State, that if care is not taken to especially nip in the bud, might go overboard.

The respected monarch of the town of 7 hills, Oba Saliu Olatunji is already arrayed now against his chiefs better referred to as the Olubadan-in-council.

The bone of contention between the 2 are two-pronged. First the Olubadan-in-council are totally against the dethronement of the present Iyalode of Ibadan, Chief Mrs. Labake Lawal and the subsequent enthronement of another to replace her, in the person of Chief Mrs. Iswat Ameringun.

Their other grouse with the respected monarch who only just very recently celebrated his 1st anniversary on the throne is that their input and advice was totally discarded in the choice of the Olubadan honouring Chief Layiwola Lakojo as the Mayegun of Ibadan. The new Mayegun, a former Secretary to the Government of Oyo,  is a friend and ally of Chief Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo, the former President of Nigeria.

The matter if not handled well and quickly could degenerate.

Just as the town is still trying to deal with the situation at hand, the executive Governor of the state in the person of Senator Abiola Ajimobi, might also have added pepper or salt to frayed nerves, by his announcement of a commission of inquiry, whose number 1 mandate is to review the process of choosing the Olubadan.

Though this commission's outcome might not adversely affect the position of the present Olubadan, what might affect him might be the whittling down of his power. Reason for this is because, the commission is also mandated to look the possibility of having more kings (royal fathers/monarch) in the ancient town, having in mind, the present size and population of Ibadan.

One just hopes all of these activities is not akin to seating on a gunpowder keg not too far from a firestorm.

The Olubadan stool has enjoyed one of the most rancour free ascension line, with all the ones to take over successively knowing about it long ahead and waiting patiently. To now rejigg at this time, though if truth be told changes are needed, is to invite chaos and anarchy.
