JIM OVIA SET TO BUILD THE BIGGEST MALL IN NIGERIA AND AFRICA
The man Jim Ovia needs no introduction whatsoever. He is one of the richest Nigerian ever, in fact he is one of the top 40 richest Africans. He is reportedly said to be worth conservatively close to a Billion dollars. With massive investments in real estate, banking, communications, recreational center etc.
The astute business man from what we have just heard has major plans in the pipeline to increase is investments and worth incredibly in the next few years. On going as we speak is a multi-storey office building project where the former La Casa Lounge/cigar bar used to be, the imposing office building is at the Lagoon front on Ozumba Mbadiwe in-between the Civic center & Caverton Helicopter office opposite the Law School.
According to the gist the next in line to be built on the same axis not far from one of his properties -the Civic center, is a 5-star hotel, the hotel is most likely going to be called the Lagos Marriot or Marriot Hotel, Lagos, which we hear would give all other hotels on the island and by extension Lagos a run for its money. One of the unique features of the upcoming Marriot Hotel from the gist we could gather is the super sized, super luxurious event center that would be built in it. The idea is that the Civic center is too small for some types of events, so the need to build a bigger more prestigious event venue.
The third project that we have heard that is uppermost in the heart of this great businessman and investor is the building of the biggest mall in Nigeria and most probably Africa. According to our bird in the air. This 3rd project is planned as a colossal one and it also planned to be built along the Ozumba Mbadiwe axis, where Mr. Ovia is said to own massive acres of land from where the office complex project is currently on going right now to somewhere close to where Cactus is right now, some even speculate that the landmass stretches further than we are thinking.
All things been equal all of this projects are planned to be on ground in the next 5 years at most. See vision oooooo. Opportunity to employ thousands of people from the labour market.

Remember from the other report that the event's dress-code was black-tie and formal African attire.
Knowing many in Nigeria for always flouting the rules of engagement especially style-wise, we had thought we should focus just on the red carpet to see how the guest fared on the style stake and at being event style appropriate.
Some of those we thought were on point were the likes of Mo Abudu, Yvonne 'Vixen' Ekwerre, Biola Alabi , Funke Akindele, Chinedu Ikedieze & a few others.
Check em' out, just like we saw them too.

MONALISA'S BABY SET FOR LAUNCH TOMORROW
Tomorrow, Friday, November 22, 2013 at the very beautiful Intercontinental Hotel, on 52a, Kofo Abayomi, Street, Victoria Island, Lagos those who have received the beautiful white invitation cards would gather at the prestigious hotel that some have tagged the only 5-star hotel in West Africa for the launch of the maiden edition of Monalisa Magazine, .
It has been a labour of love in the journey to publish this lifestyle magazine, (many many things) happened before this first edition that would be unveiled to the public could happen. So come 5pm tomorrow all roads would lead to the venue. We hear it is a strictly by invite only event.
Kudos to both Monalisa Chinda, the publisher of the magazine and her rock of Gibraltar Lanre Nzeribe for bringing their dreams to fruition. So Mona like the gorgeous actress is called by those close to her has added another title to her name, that of a publisher.According to the magazine publishers, the luxury lifestyle magazine with the pay off ...Love, Laugh, Live is the first of its kind in Africa and it is packaged as the international journal of choice, that is set to revolutionize publication in Nigeria. The magazine's fashion editor is none other than Ms. Estella Ogbonna, the brain behind Estella Couture based in the US.
Congrats.
OLISA ADIBUA GETTING SET TO OPEN OWN JOINT
 |
| OLISA ADIBUA |
Hey hey!!! By joint we don't mean any other thing ooooo. By that we just mean his own Lounge/Cigar bar. Olisa Adibua aka Ollie like most of his friends love to call him is the CIGAR loving, jolly good fella with the great voice that you hear on radio at 99.9 Beat Fm more precisely. He was once a director at Storm Records owned by his cousin Obi Asika & Tola Odunsi.
The man about town from the little gist we were able to gather is working hard at opening his own fun spot somewhere on the Island sometime soon. According to the gist, work is currently on going albeit clandestinely, and Olisa is keeping the information about the joint very much to heart. What the lounge would be like, where it is located, who his promoters are? We do not know yet. But we can tell you most confidently that Ollie is working on something that would soon be unveiled.
ADIEU LINDA GODWIN RIP! THANKS CHIMA ANYASO FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT
 |
| LATE LINDA GODWIN & CHIMA ANYASO |
We lost a very dear friend and a gallant fighter a couple of days ago, for some of you our readers, you might have read or heard about her, we even asked for support to help her fight the battle sometime ago on this platform.
Linda Godwin 24, daughter, wife, mother of a son passed on after her painful fight with cancer. When we went to check her sometime ago at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-araba we came face to face with what it was like to give a good fight to stay alive and from the little we saw she did try her possible best. The young lady apparently sometime long ago detected some lumps in her breast and went to have it checked only for those that did the check to tell her it was none malignant, so she shouldn't worry. Thinking all was well and not having another opinion a proper one at that, is why she's now dead.
By the time she found out it wasn't benign as she was made to believe, but truly malignant the battle was already half way lost. Not having the kind of supports and correct information needed and even funds, she first went to the wrong place for treatment. She had sort traditional help which didn't help ,in the course of looking for treatment the right breast got terribly bad that it fell off on its own. Her right arm and the left breast had also become affected. The right arm became swollen and she was in constant, most often unbearable pain.
On hearing of her plight we did our possible best to get help and funds together to see, whether by a miracle something could be done. In our call out for help, only a few people responded and just a few people made promises, but only one person redeemed the promise he made and that person is none other than young philanthropist and humanitarian par excellence Chima Anyaso. Not only did he respond, he even followed us to LUTH to see Linda. Not just this he followed us also to a ward at LUTH where he paid for the treatments of all those in the ward, patients, nurses those taking care of the indisposed ones couldn't believe this. They thought they were dreaming of this intervention from a total stranger, that this couldn't have been real. We are talking about some patients needing to pay hundreds of thousands for treatments.
Till Linda passed on some days ago, Chima remained a shoulder to rely on. It was with pain in all our hearts, but in total submission to God that we have accepted that Linda has gone to rest. To say the truth, her pain could only be imagined.
We pray that God would finally grant her that rest that she so earnestly wanted. We can remember her lamenting when we saw her that ''abeg this pain is too much make person even die'' that CRY brought tears into our eyes, we felt her pain.
Please please and please everyone, Cancer is for real oooooo, IT'S NOT A JOKE OOO. For the women check yourself before you wreck yourself and for the men too, Prostate cancer is for real too.
According to what one of the Professors at LUTH told us when we visited, an early detection can go a very long way in saving what could become a bad situation. So ladies check your breast for anything usual and get proper diagnosis.
Adieu Linda!!! Sorry Godwin for the loss of your wife. Thanks so much Chima for answering us when we called on you.

ABISOLA KOLA-DAISI DROPS BABY GIRL IN AMERICA
 |
| ABISOLA KOLA-DAISI |
We very nearly forgot to mention that Abisola Kola-Daisi who is the first daughter and eldest child of the current Governor of Oyo State recently gave birth to a bouncing baby girl in faraway United States of America on Sunday, November 17, 2013.
Abisola Kola-Daisi nee Ajimobi had gotten married to her beau Kolapo Kola-Daisi, one of the sons of Ibadan multimillionaire Chief Kola Daisi 3 years ago, on November 6, 2010 at one of the weddings of the year then. In fact Kolapo is Chief Kola Daisi's youngest son. The perfect gentleman and soft spoken chap is a top investment banker at Heritage Bank, where we hear the Saraki's hold substantial investment, while Bisola owns and runs a first class luxury shoe & bag store Florence H located at Shehu Musa YarAdua street, on Victoria Island. Unconfirmed report says she's also a very influential special assistant to her dad. The new bundle of joy arrived just 10 days after her parent's wedding anniversary, the 3rd one at that. So wedding anniversary & birthday are just 10 days apart.
The gorgeous mom & new daughter are said to be in perfect health. A very well deserved congratulations to the family on the newest addition, especially to the action Governor of Oyo State on the birth of his new born Grand-daughter.
