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.
Galactica Star

157W 57th Street Manhattan

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.

TONTO DIKEH WAX VERY LYRICAL ABOUT WHAT BEING BORN AGAIN IS

TONTO DIKEH
Mommy king better known to the world as Tonto Dikeh is doing all that's possible to leave the fiasco of the past few months behind.

After she and her estranged husband fought themselves to a standstill on the social media and in the news, releasing several intimate bombs about each other to the public without a care in the world.

Hear her as she spoke on Instagram-

"Being born again is not a licence to be BORING, DIRTY IN APPEARANCE.
Being born Again be is living a fun filled, Happy joyous life knowing that you have a mighty God by your side.

Being born again isn't about not having friends or hanging out, it's about having the right friends that will elevate, motivate, inspire you and most especially pray for you.

Being born again means having Access to the best and the most beautiful things of life..
Being born Again is having Peace and never been afraid to show how genuinely happy you are no matter who that affects.

Being born again is having to see hate word and still praying for them..
God wldnt call you only to make you A boring person or a less fashionable person, As a matter of fact I believe a born Again Christian shld have the finest things of life. Because if my life isn't Colourful how then can I convince you that a LIFE IN CHRIST IS A BLISSFUL ONE.

AFRICA'S WEALTHIEST WOMAN FOLORUNSHO ALAKIJA HITS 66 & DEDICATES ALL TO GOD


For many years running now, the Executive Vice Chairperson of her own oil and gas brand known to the world as Famfa Oil, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija has been acclaimed as Africa's number 1 wealthiest woman and it's like she's not ready in anyway or manner at relinquishing that post.

Though we don't know her exact worth, but it's been put in the region of $3 billion plus sweet Dollars. That an awesome amount of money or like some would say a very very tidy sum, running into a staggering or colossal sum if one were to change such amount into Naira. What that just says is that, it's like some are nearly as rich if not richer than their country, Nigeria.

So the supremely fashion conscious lady clocked 66 years today, Saturday, July 15, 2017 having being born on July 15, 1951 in Ikorodu, Lagos to Chief L.A Ogbara.

In her own special way at saying thank you to God for another year alive, the former President of FADAN penned a birthday message to herself, ascribing everything to her maker thus-

"Happy 66th Birthday to Me!

Lord Jesus, I come to your throne room to celebrate my Special day. Thank you Lord for making me see another beautiful year. Thank you Father for the Gift of life.

All I can say is THANK YOU LORD for WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHING BUT WITH YOU I HAVE EVERYTHING I WILL EVER NEED. I AM TRULY GRATEFUL.

COVENANT KEEPING GOD! (Sic)

Madam only just recently as in just last month, June 2017 held a supersonic wedding for her son, one of the 4 who had to remarry after the demise of his first wife due to illiness. That wedding of the sseason held at an iconic palace, where one of Great Britain's most iconic figure, Sir Winston Churchill was born.

The  revebrations from that humongous wedding, which displayed sheer opulence in its most extravagant form has not yet subsided in the UK and would take a longwhile to subside.

So from us here we say, to the Lady of  a great and immense means. Happy birthday Madam. Long may you live to continually stamp your indelible feet upon the sands of time.

CHRISTABEL EKEH'S DIRTY & UNCOUTH ATTEMPT AT BREAKING THE INTERNET. AS SHE GOES BUTT NAKED!!!


Were we really really shocked? No we aren't at all. We have always known that some in their bid to be very popular at all cost would go to any length to do just about anything.

So since everything is permitted, even a little form of madness atimes, why not go zilch, starkers, butt naked, nude for the world to see!!!

That's probably what must have pushed or inspired Christabel Ekeh, to attempt "breaking the internet" following in the infamous & not so illustrous footsteps of such likes of Kimberly "Kim" Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Blac Chyna, Naomi Campbell, Cindi Crawford and many others who all went butt naked on the social media or magazine at one time or the other. As if those people were our heroines and icons.

So as a way of showing liberation and like the Nollywood/Ghollywood actress herself stated, those not necessarily fantastic nude shots, where are neither region (Bermuda triangle) and nipples were strategically covered, is a way by which she has thought to expose her brand new self.

Hear her "Nudity is my thing, "they" depict my new brand". Wondering who the they are?

What a brand though!

The Ghanaian-Nigerian actress at 26 years old going 27 is quite a popular actress. But with this now, we believe that her stock should have risen, so much so that soon she might be engaged for either soft or full porn. Or better still she might soon be a co-star with the legendary "Dauda the Sexy Guy" in a story soon.

More grease to her elbow though.

MD'S DELIGHTSOME KELLY. THE APPLE OF HIS EYES.


This Chairman of chairmen is better known by his very famous initials MD and has been married now about 4 times.

He seem not to have the ability to keep a home together. Even his most recent wife and mother of his kids, a delightsomely gorgeous lady not too long ago packed out and both are now separated, but still co-parenting.

CD like the initials of that world renowned fashion brand, which is the same intitials of our lady here, is the epitome of stupendous gorgeousness, especially more so now after her American done "nips and tucks', which has given her a more surpremely shapely behind, better rounded and structured but humongous chest and all round great curves and the likes (she apparently did a whole lot to get her body groove back).

YUL EDOCHIE STAKES HIS CLAIM TOWARDS ANAMBRA GUBERNATORIAL RACE 2017

Yul Edochie

Willie OBIANO

Osita Chidoka

Handsome thespian son of renowned Nigeria thespian by name Pete EDOCHIE, by name Yul EDOCHIE has made his political intention and ambition known to the world.

Maybe as a way to confirm that truly "everyman is a political animal" one way or the other, it seems like the young man has legitimate hope of running the affairs of the richest state in the East- Anambra.

If Yul has his way, he would be involved in a 3 way battle with the incumbent, Chief Willie OBIANO of APGA, who is acknowledged as an action Governor per excellence and who many have glowingly reiterated that he deserves another 4 years term in charge, based on his antecedence. The executive Governor of Anambra State currently, would be clocking 62 on August 8, 2017.

On the other side is the former Corps General of the FRSC and former Minister under the Government of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan GCFR, in the person of Chief Osita Chidoka of the UPP, but formerly of the PDP. Chief Chidoka is another action packed individual, with outstanding pedigree in public service. He is a relatively young man at 46, in fact he would be clocking 46 on July 17, 2017.

What would be Yul's reason for stepping forward? He believes there's the need for the old and senile kind off to give way to the new and fresh, like him. Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie, clocked 35 in January of 2017. He is the last born of 6 kids of the veteran and award winning actor-father.

As per his political party of choice to prosecute this dream and ambition, no one knows yet. Maybe APC since their candidate has withdrawn in support of the incumbent. 

TIMAYA PICKS DECEMBER 2017 TO OPEN HIS PALATIAL EDIFICE OF A HOME




We have always said it that the entertainment industry is actually another oil and gas industry, that many needs to tap into. For if it is well packaged and made attractive to the populace it is like the person that did the packaging has hit a goldmine or has bought a lucrative oil well with unquantifiable asset.

There are some in the music industry that are on a different level, different wavelengths to others. They are the big-boys who seem to have being specially touched by midas, so all they touch themselves or do, seem to be yielding gains in an unprecedented manner.

One of such big-boys is "Inetimi Alfred Odon" aka TIMAYA aka the Egberi Papa One of Bayelsa. Gone are the days when his means of livelihood was hawking plantain. Now he is a certified mega star amongst other stars.

SO WHAT'S THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT MULTI-MILLION NAIRA LEKKI-AJAH EXPRESSWAY?



When this road was finished a few years ago everyone at that time hailed it as one of the major achievements of the then Government of Lagos. It was one road that connected millions to a major part of Lagos where everyone was packing to and saw as a new settlement, so with the finish many on that axis breathe out a major sigh of relief.

The traffic situation towards that end used to be horrendous to say the least. It still is sometimes on that same road now though.

Imagine a stretch that must have cost several millions, running into hundreds of millions at that and still counting! That road was supposed to be an example of Government commitment and responsibility to her people.

Fast forward now to a couple of years after, same road that should be an engineering marvel and that others should point at to say what an intervention from a responsible Government is fast deteriorating! With patches already showing terrible signs, pot holes here and there! If these rains continues on for a bit more, it would have become loads more terrible already.

So we have thought to ask questions, salient questions at that. Were we hoodwinked? Was the road cosmetic in the first place? Was a shoddy job done in the first instance? Who is or what is responsible for the deterioration? Who is to blame? What should be done?

WHY OYINDAMOLA OLUFEKO'S WEDDING WAS MORE QUIET THAN ACTUALLY EXPECTED

Mrs Oyindamola Emelia Olufeko

Adeolu Abayomi Olufeko
Many had expected that when any of the children of the super rich would wed, it would be a colossal display of opulence and extraordinary liquidity.

This assertion is based on the fact that, what else is the reason for being in that league other than to make sure ones kids futures are well assured and that they are well taken care of in life. And anything you do, be it a party or celebration, the kind of house you build or live in, the kind of cars you drive etc would be the standards by which others are judged.

One of the best ways to show ones level at this height or level, has always been during occasions like a wedding, birthdays and other events of the likes.

So being a "certified billionaire" many times over and in hard currency at that, not in Naira at all, one that even the world recognises as an "ultimate big-boy" (Forbes rich list), Otunba Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr had been expected to roll out the drums at such level that others would have recognised that money has levels.

But alas! Instead of the loud she-bangs, plenty of noise all had expected, it was more of a hush-hush affair.

Everything was done at the home of the man some have nicknamed the bull or some have referred to as the guru's palatial home in Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Not that the palatial or better still humongous estate wasn't big enough to host a massive wedding party of the magnitude expected by all and sundry; the fact is that the place was massive enough, more than opulent enough at that. That it is referred to as an edifice or that it is humongous should have conveyed how expansive the compound is.

Imagine it is the particular and spectacular homestead of the billionaire spreadout on several acres of prime land. It was at that place, that all was done, so as to "contain" the event as much as possible, so that it wouldn't spread and become something that couldn't be managed appropriately.

Why would the billionaire do a hush-hush wedding for his first daughter- Oyin, after rolling out the drums, throwing out the unprecedented large red carpet, playing host to the who-is-who of the society, hosting a one-of-a-kind event, when is 2nd daughter Bella Adenuga-Disu had her wedding many years back, at an occasion/event that was the "undisputed wedding of the year" then? And now for his first daughter a relatively very conservative event by all standards?

More after the break. The answer to the question.

PASTOR PAUL ADEFARASIN'S TASTE OF HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH FIRST


Pastor & Mrs Paul and Ifeanyi Adefarasin


He is undoubtedly in the "league of billionaire" pastors no doubt about that and that is talking about the handsome, bald headed, man of god, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the head pastor of the 22nd century House on the Rock.

The man in his 50s seems to be following the Yoruba's word of wisdom which when paraphrased says "It is first the Earth we enjoy, before the Heaven"!

The idea behind the name his church bears is to convey the message of a "house that's built on a solid & unshakeable foundation. A Christian well founded, well established on a sure/firm foundation.

His church is a gathering of the "funkiest"  most happening and very liquid of people, passing across the message somewhat that God wants the salvation of all kinds, the funky, the super stylish, the classy and very liquid.

The American trained architect, a graduate of the University of Miami, who is married to the delectably and ravishingly gorgeous Ifeanyi Adefarasin, nee Mordi a former Miss UNILAG has really done very well for himself.

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde is probably Nigeria's biggest thespian by all standards. She has surpassed the levels of all others by miles. She's probably our most visible "actor" male or female in the world.

She recently had the premiere of her new film-Alter Ego. The venue of the well attended event was the Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, date was 07/07/2017.

As expected the super talented role player and lady with the intimidating structure (curves) and all, dazzled all comers with her outfits for the occasion.

She had 2 changes of clothes, one was in her favorite colour of "tomato red", looking delectably ravishing and the other was a subdued black outfit with gold shimmers, which bedazzled to no small effect.  We all know that red can be a killer colour or terribly trashy and unforgiven if not well sown or worn well, but on this occasion, as expected it drapped sumptuously on those sexy curves, highlighting all the best details perfectly and lit up Omo-sexy in a sexilicious way that's not in any way near trashy. Kudos to her and her stylist.

She was accompanied by her ever supportive rock, her husband, Captain Ekeinde, who himself was a dapper dude in blue suit, worn with white shirt and a red tie.  Gorgeous couple we are very happy to say.

We got a few of the pictures for your viewing delight.

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

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 ARDUOUS & TERRIBLY HORRIFIC JOURNEY TO ABEOKUTA VIA SANGO-OTA

Senator Ibikunle Amosun

Much as the fact was that we had a super fun time at the wedding reception of Oladipo and Ayomide Dabiri in Abeokuta, Ogun State (that's the wedding between Senator Ibikunle Amosun's daughter and the son of Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa), we missed the other 2 parts-introduction and traditional engagement due to the long journey from Lagos to Abeokuta.

The journey to getting to Abeokuta to say the least was tortuous and extremely horrible due to state of the road.

For those living along the route, from Amje which is a still part of Lagos State, going towards Sango-Ota, which is the border town and already a part of Ogun State, heading towards Ifo, still going through Papalanto heading to Ewekoro till we got to Aro then heading to Abeokuta, the roads were in a state of terrible and unbelievable disrepair. It's like those who live around those areas have lost total contact amd connect somewhat with Government and Governance!

Truth be told, we were totally and utterly disappointed, that such an area had any connection whatsoever to a former President of the nation, in person of Chief Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo, who we hear lives in Ota and whose humongous state of the art farm is said to be in Ota also.

From our little experience on that road, it was like no Government of any kind worth her salt existed or exists along this path.

Imagine that a bridge which must have cost several millions of Naira was built at a particular portion of that road, but just 20 to 30 meters away from that bridge, the portholes on the road were of the most unkind types. One would have thought that the bridge would have meant the roads around it would have been repaired, at least to give the bridge value, but alas No!!!

The most shocking spot, that really took the wind out of us, was right along where the well known cement factory Lafarge is situated at.

Imagine that along that long stretch of road next to that world class factory was the most terrible part of the road!

The state of disrepair we saw should be a big shame to such a brand and a responsible government of any kind. How trucks and trailers etc pass along that route to enter the company to take delivery of loads of cements and then going away to go deliver is quite baffling.

Imagine that a journey, which very normally should take at most 1 hour 30 minutes could take one, about 2 to 3 hours plus, depending on the level of traffic at the time! We hear it could as horrible as 4 hours and more if there's traffic!

So what is the benefit of governance then? Especially if a major road that is used and must be used by all is allowed to get to such a level and then there's even no hope that it would be repaired?

From the looks of things, it's like those along that corridor are the forgotten and the neglected.

When Government claims that they have provided or are providing dividend of democracy for the people that brought them to power, what are these so called dividends then?

If the very obvious can so degenerate to this kind of state? What state then would the not so obvious be?

GREGARIOUS DEMOLA ADELEKE OF PDP SLAMDUNKS AREGBESOLA

New Senator Ademola Adeleke

Governor Rauf AREGBESOLA

Senator Iyiola Omisore
Maybe this result of yesterday's election between the PDP's own Senator elect Demola Adeleke, the younger brother of the late Serubawon and also brother to Davido's billionaire dad, Deji Adeleke versus APC's Mudashiru Hussain, would be a wake up call for the Osun State Governor, Rauf AREGBESOLA and his party that the people cannot be taken for granted, we do not know yet.

But the result of this election has shown somehow that no matter what, sentiment no matter how you want to discount it, can be a major factor in winning an election, and it also shows glaringly, that the late Isiaka Adeleke was not a pushover by any means at all in the politics of Osun State, most especially in the decision making in his domain Ede.

Much has been said about the influence the late Senator wielded when alive and how much he was loved by the (his) people, now even in death the power he was said to have possessed was showcased in this election which had his younger brother facing the might of an incumbent Governor and all the machinery at his disposal.  

Ademola Adeleke, representing the opposition PDP defeated, annihilated and totally obliterated the candidate of the Governor on all counts. At the only place where the APC candidate won, which was where he himself voted, he won by just 4 votes!!!

The whole scenario just says it all, that even in death the great Serubawon is a man to reckon with and that if you downplay his avowed influence, you do so at your own peril and loss.

An analysis of the whole scenario would have shown that Demola Adeleke was faced against the machinery of the state, especially a sitting Governor, but even at that, 2 of his own brothers, in the persons of the late Isiaka "Serubawon" Adeleke and billionaire businessman, Deji Adeleke gave him all the backings he needed to coast to victory unscathe, albeit one did it post humously. What this just says is that, the people no matter what cannot and must not be taken for granted by anyone, no matter their influence or status.

So INEC has declared Demola Adeleke the winner and new Senator, to take over the seat left vacant by the untimely death of his elder brother. As the PDP have now won this election, this might portend the direction of things in the upcoming Governorship election in the State come whenever.

So Senator Iyiola Omisore who is a powerhouse of a sort in Ife and environs a big part of Osun State, is lurking quietly in the background, planning, strategizing, aligning, mending fences etc, ready to pounce and take over on behalf of the PDP the running of the affairs of the state. If Ede and Ife would close ranks and then come together, with all other power houses in other areas, hmmmmmm!!!!!

There are some hell-bent on demystifying the relevance and influence of the Jagaban Borgu ASIWAJU Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC National Leader, who it is claimed, is actually from Osun State at all cost, it now seems like the project has begun!

Can the APC retain Osun State in the next election, if it were to hold next week?  As the influence of APC waned in the state that excitedly voted her into power just a few years ago?
