AT THE EPIC 1ST EVER CITYPEOPLE FEMALE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARDS

Bimbo Kashamu-Most Outstanding Body Cream Brand in Lagos

Patricia Onumonu & Sandra Abiodun 

Wow wow wow, seems like there are no more ebony coloured or dark skinned lady oozing with gorgeousness as they show off their melanin in Nigeria no more, at least judging by the number of the fair skinned guests at this award showcase.

No wonder those who have ventured into skincare, cream and bleaching industry are smiling home to the bank daily without a care in the world! Many of such 'beauties', customers of these experts in the skincare industry, in all shades of lightness (some having totally become Oyinbos) and sizes stormed enmasse the venue of the 1st ever Female Entrepreneurship Award powered by the "CityPeople Magazine" brand at the weekend.

The sexiness & confidence on display at the awards, was totally over powering by all standards!!!

The new award show from all indications, is packaged to celebrate and award those in business that have excelled and done very well in their areas of endeavours. Such hardworking entrepreneurs who despite the prevailing circumstances in the country which have killed many businesses owned by individuals, have stayed put and have somewhat become the masters of their game, excelling and making profits from their engagements. So the awards given did cut across, the industry from those engaged in merchandising of all types of goods, to those who offer their services in the beauty industry and so much more too.

A few of the evening's recipients were Patricia Onumonu of the Trish 'O' Couture fame. The very stylish lady from all indications has done extraordinarily well in the fashion industry in the last few years, culminating in her opening her humongous HQ in Victoria Island and also picking several awards here and there, for her ingenious creativity and exemplary business acumen. One of the other recognisable awardees on the night was none other than the owner of a skincare brand, Bimbo Kashamu who obviously was a 'good' signpost/example of what her brand offers to their several clients (that's if what you see is how you want to end up though), she "Most Outstanding Body Cream Brand in Lagos, others were Adeola Jumoke Raki-Queen of Fabric Embellishment, Kofoworola Adebutu-Luxury Shoe dealer of the year, Sandra Abiodun-Nos 1 Designer for Nollywood Stars. There were other winners like Otunba (Mrs) Sade Adesoye, a major jewellery merchant, Jokotade Adeusi, Alhaja Morufa Shabi, Titi Marshall, Wife of K1 the ultimate was another recipient and many others.

One of the obvious sponsors of the award night, was Eleganza Company. And they were well represented by their Executive Director, in the person of Chief Mrs. Shade Okoya. Many of the indigenous brand's products like coolers, suitcases  etc were given  out to awardees.

Check out the pictures of the many African Oyinbos and other guests in attendance.

ABISOLA AND OLAYINKA AFOLABI'S WHITE WEDDING & HUMONGOUS RECEPTION & OUT OF THE WORLD AFTER PARTY

Mr & Mrs. Olayinka and Abisola Afolabi 

Step in the name of love

Abisola & her maids 

YINKA & his men

Cutting the beautiful cake

The gorgeous wedding gown

This massive do by all standards would be on the front burner and in the minds of all for a very longtime to come. We stress again that, it is probably the biggest wedding of the season bar none. The only way the Dangote's do might have been bigger might just be by virtue of the sheer amount of money expended or maybe the caliber of bigwigs that attended, but apart from the 2 things already mentioned, everything else pales into insignificance in comparison as this is probably the standard by which other ceremonies would be judged or measured for times to come!

There was no stiffness of any kind at this wedding. It is what you can classify as the highest scale of Owanbe.

The Afolabi's led by the head of the clan, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, who is the gentleman Billionaire Executive Vice chairman of Sifax Group a major Nigerian conglomerate, with diversitfied investments in many areas and also the Executive director at SAHCOL who is also the owner of that 5 star Hotel set to be opened in GRA, Ikeja soon before the year ends by name the Marriot and the Omisade's, that's the family of the stupendously gorgeous Bride-Abisola led by her dad-Prince Omisade both went over and above to make the ceremonies one to remember.

The entertainment was top notch all the way. KSA that's King Sunny Ade of the universe had been on the bandstand in IBADAN for the traditional wedding, which was much hosted by the bride's family at the Jogor Center, Ibadan, Oyo State. If that was a fantastic event, the Lagos event topped it by many miles.

Entertainment was provided majorly by the Shuga Band led by the ever impressive Akiin Shuga. He was supported by the a plethora of top reigning musicians from Mayorkun who broke the ice to Reekado Banks to LAX and to the King of them all 2baba who nearly brought down the roof with his awesome performance. 2baba got the whole crowd involved as it became some sort of sing-along and the young crowd bombarded the stage as the couple and 2baba had crazy fun!

The day's very reliable MC, was none other than the very functional Tee A, who controlled proceedings very very well.

The provisions made for the guests were outstanding in all ramifications. There was the overabundance of foods of all types-we cannot just name it all, it was over available and it flowed generously all through the event. Champagne was like water, not to talk of brandy, be it XO or VSOP and other types of liquor and things. It was obvious that good money was well spent. Infact some even exclaimed that it was a trailer load of drinks of all types. Desserts was aplenty, from ice-cream to cakes of all types. Not to talk of grills of all types and even burger etc.

People were served at all times and the choices were staggering.

The guests list was diverse. Royal fathers likes of Ooni of Ife, HIM Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Emperor of Greater Iwo, Emir/Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, Elegushi of Ikateland and environs, Oba Alaiyeluwa Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Oluwu of Owu Egba, Oba Adegboyega Dosunmu and many others, top businessmen and women likes of Tunde Ayeni, Bisi Onasanya, and very many others. Those in the entertainment industry, likes of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Desmond Elliot, Monalisa, Susan Peters and very many others. Top Government officials, we say Governor Ibikunle Amosun and his gorgeous wife, we also saw Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and loads very many others too numerous to mention.

It was a sea of gorgeous styles of Aso-Ebi. Mennnnnn, come and see babes!! ! All colours, all shapes, all heights, all styles, all kinds. Bisola's friends came in torrents. Some of the styles worn by many of the ladies would wake up the body of an avowed eunuch, mennnn they were bold and in your face.

Harbour Point was totally packed out. Elizabeth R owned by Ibidun Ajayi was  in charge and she did a great job. Bonix drinks, RL Desserts, Jollof Plus so many others truly delivered.

By the time we were leaving the venue, which was at about 10:30pm another epic party of the most awesome kind and dimension had just begun, which was the humongous after party. Imagine that the permanent building in the Harbour Point compound was totally, we mean totally transformed into a super classy nightclub/upscale lounge!!!

There couldn't have been less than a thousand people in that place. Music was E.P.I.C, it was another round of party altogether again, with everything well provided. When we say everything, we say that very well and emphatically! The earliest any would have left that lit party would have been about 3am.

All in all, the party delivered. Lest we forgot, gifts of all type and shapes practically rained down. You need to see gifts that individuals packed home, from coolers to umbrellas to sacks of Garri to vegetable oil to packs of salts to sets of frying pans to set of bowls m, to sets of plates to too many things too numerous to just mention, imagine electric stoves and more.

Mennnnnnn!!!!!!! ...... .....

DR. TAIWO AFOLABI'S MARRIOT HOTEL IKEJA GRA LAGOS GEETING SET FOR LAUNCH

Baring any last minute unforeseen circumstances another humongous hotel carrying the world famous name MARRIOT is getting set and ready to take over Ikeja, GRA in Lagos.

According to those privy to the information, all things been equal, the hotel that's been promoted by the billionaire Executive Vice Chairman of Sifax Group, who also doubles as the Executive Director of Sahcol amongst many other titles, would most definitely open its doors to the public before the end of the year. Dr. Taiwo Olayinka Afolabi, 56 is a trained lawyer, who got his law certificate from the University of Lagos, who has grown over the years to become an award winning business mogul, who is also a Menber of the Order of the Niger since 2010. His conglomerate is into Haulage, Logistics,, Oil and Gas, Maritime and Aviation and now Hospitality too.

The Marriot Ikeja, is one project that has been close to the heart of the generous gentleman billionaire, who is an avowed Philanthropist per excellence. Infact his generousity is legendary. We hear and as must be expected especially for a brand that would carry the famous Marriot Hotel brand name, that the hotel would be a statement in class in all ramifications. We even hear that owner of one of the biggest and best event's company has been consulting on the interior design and layout, to make sure it would wow and impress massively.

This new addition to the Ikeja GRA landscape that has taken all of 4 years, since the ground breaking in August of that year, to start and finish is a 251 rooms structure on 8 floors, that's 7 storeys and it one of the new additions to the Sifax Group expansion. The hotel can be accessed from Joel Ogunnaike and Oba Ladejobi streets in GRA Ikeja.

Dr. T. O Afolabi is one super wealthy dude who is providing great employment opportunities for many Nigerians via his investments and he must be well commended.

Kudos to him! !

THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE NAMED ABISOLA OMISADE NOW ABISOLA AFOLABI

ABISOLA

The groom and his bride 

Getting set

THE VERY MANY SHADES & ANGLES OF A GORGEOUS BRIDE.

Bisola and Yinka Afolabi's wedding by all standards should be tagged an epic! From all ramifications and standards this should probably be one of the 2 biggest weddings this season.

From the ancient town of many hills, Ibadan where the humongous Engagement and Traditional wedding took place, at the Jogor Center to Lagos, where the indescribable fun white wedding, reception and after party happened. It all was something else. They couldn't have spent less than 200 Million atleast to make the ceremonies happen and infact that amount might pail into insignificance of things were properly calculated.

Mennnnnn!!!! What was not available at these series of ceremonies? What didn't the family do to welcome guests who came in torrents!!!! Entertainment was topnotch all the way. From King Sunny Ade at the traditional wedding to The Shuga Band, Mayorkun, Reekado Banks to 2Baba and LAX, it was all fun galore all the way.

The event organisers, Elizabeth R and vendors like Jollof Plus, Bonix Drinks and very many others went all out.

The bride Abisola as expected was the cynosure of all eyes, she looked every inch like a bride. Her many changes of outfits were stunning to say the least. Her make up, especially for the Lagos event was on point. The combined effort to make her stand out worked. From head to toe, she looked like a fetching princess in her glory who knew that the day was her day. It was obvious for all to see that she was extremely happy! She glowed like a million stars. Even before she dressed up and came for her wedding to her lucky husband, Yinka Afolabi.

We heard they had been an item, lovebirds for quite a bit, so taking the plunge to officially solidify their love and relationship was just the very next step that many had been waiting for!!!!

Here in this post, we have loads and loads of the pictures focused on the beauty and gorgeousness of the bride, who is now the latest Mrs. Afolabi!

WHO IS AFTER LI? WHY WOULD ANY SPECULATE AGAIN AFTER SJ HAS BEEN OUTED & CLAIM IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE BP???

This world sha, you cannot ever satisfy or please all. No matter what you do, even when you are being very plain and straightforward, they would still suspect some kind of undertones.

Would a lady not know, who her baby's daddy is?

How can you ever think or even imagine that she could give what belongs to one person to another, especially in this day of DNA testing and confirmation!!!!

Abeg people should go take a back sit jare or even if possible go hug a transformer and let the matter rest jare once and for all!!!!! From the horse's mouth herself she has confirmed who got her preggers, but still yet some wouldn't rest!

First it was said that she had a surrogate birth, surrogate birth???? Now after her expose as per the daddy of the new born baby, they have now gone to town again and are now claiming that the baby might actually belong to another, a stupendously wealthy dude for that matter by the initial BN!!!

How any sane human-being, with his or her thinking faculty correct can think like that, beggars our belief. The fact is that BN is a very married man, overly serious and one that does not have a roving eye or eyes at all. Hmmmmmmm. Also SJ is known to be the boy of BP &  both couldn't have been eating from the same pot, or honey pot or better still Bermuda Triangle, na na na, it is an impossicant!!!! Also for the conspiracy theorists whose minds of gone terribly far, why would one dude intentionally be the fall guy for the other, for what gain?

Why would any for that matter be pointing at the wealth of LI as evidence? Evidence of what? She is super rich, by the grace of God and providence and infact all by herself and by her own making and hardwork. She has paid her dues and this is her time to lounge and have fun unlimited and limitlessly if she wants to for that mattter. The grace of God has seen her to this space, so people please let her be and not speculate unnecessarily!!!

We believe very well that when the time comes, she herself, knowing her fully well as not the type to keep things hidden, would come out to tell all and sundry, the fact as they are..... Chikena!!! ! 

LINDA IKEJI GOES GAGA AFTER BABY'S BIRTH AS SHE PICKS N120M BENTLEY MULSANNE TO WELCOME HER BUNDLE OF JOY

The joy in Linda Ikeji's household presently seems to know no limit oooooo, as she has gone completely bonkers in celebration of the birth of her bouncing baby boy, her 1st child for Sholaye, whose name is Jayce Jeremi, one of the kids of dude about town Sholaye Jeremi, the handsome Itsekiri adonis.

This isn't Sholaye's first child though, as his other baby mama is in London with her own kid (s). And apart from this new arrival another bundle of joy is already been expected too from his other babe, Elizabeth!

To celebrate Jayce birth though, Linda went totally insane as she bought a brand spanking new Bentley Mulsanne a super muscled car to had to her already intimidating garage which already has some great cars already.

It was Linda's sisters Laura and Sandra, that revealed the identity of the new car to the world, as they expressed their joy on the purchase on the social media.

Hear them- from Laura

‘Dear Jayce, ya mom went crazy the day u came into this world, oh boy! ya own don better. Dem born u buy Bentley. Omo mama olowo. 😁. Can’t remember what my parents bought when they had me hehe. Check out Linlin’ s Bentley’

And from Sandra---

Their sister, Sandra also wrote, confirming the price of the Bentley: Hey lil Jayce, your mum @officiallindaikeji promised you a Bentley , now you have it!😍Congratulations @officiallindaikeji on your 120mili Bentley #Bentleyforbabyj

SO WHO FINALLY GETS THE CAKE TAGGED JEREMI? BABY MAMA1 OR EEA!!!

Mennnn!!!! The silent war is epic!!! Maybe it's the reason the one on the other side is making all the noise possible especially as she owns a platform to do so. Both ladies have been having the fun of their lives the past few years. While EEA a young mother of 2 girls, has been a known, somewhat visible side chic for about 2 years now, we don't know how long for matter that SJ and LI have been an item.

What  is quite obvious and we could easily deduce from the whole shenanigan is that the sharp, Delta born South-South, oil and gas dude, who is said to be very liquid and quite classy, who is also a cool friend of fellow very liquid men of exemplary package has been having the very best of both worlds all of these while. The curious thing or question is, did both know that they were both at the same time, were contesting for the heart of this handsome, quite suave bloke?

Girlfriend 1-LI, she's not one for any reason other than for easy description, had and has been quite open about her dating or to have dated SJ, the result of their many romps is now very evident in JJ. But girlfriend 2 had been very clandestine about the whole affair, up until now, though their relationship has been on going now for 2 good years. Maybe that's the reason why the dude seems to prefer the nos 2, that she's able to "chop and clean mouth, like say nothing dey happen". No drama of epic proportion that would cast him out as an adonis and chopper extraordinary. This dude is in the mould of Lanre N, who took the definition of a Lothario to stratospheric levels.

You all know EEA very well, no no no she's not Emporio Armani, but truth be told she has excelled in the world of fashion, by holding down well as one of the gurus in that part of the world of fashion she's engaged in. She is a veteran in the game and her 'manufacturing' company of human mannequins is one of the major ones in the country, if not the best to reckon with in the country. Still young and with 2 kids, she is estranged from her husband and has been for quite a few years now. Both from the looks of it, are never coming back together again! So she's been "free, free like a bird", just like that 2Baba classic song inspires! So if one is free, without any restrictions whatsoever and not held down by any matrimonial clause (s), then she is free to indulge her fantasies  to the outermost and do whatsoever she likes or pleases! Like the Yorubas are won't to say, shebi we go sha eat/chop!!!

Her somewhat rival though is badass rich. Infact so wealthy, so filthy rich is she now, that she is a Naira billionaire many times over. Let's even drop an unconfirmed bombshell💣💥, it has been said or speculated that LI and SJ had their very quiet, totally secret, registry about 6 weeks prior to the BBB! And if that is the case then, EEA might have lost out then oooooo. Except she would just remain as a side chick, like she has always been, but another unconfirmed clanger might be in the offing as it is claimed that girlfriend 2, EEA might also be on the 9 months leave!!! Can that actually be True? ? We doubt it, but we are also keeping our fingers crossed, because anything can Happen !!

SJ himself is a sharpshooter of mean and extraordinary proportion; a rapid fire dude. He, like a very sharp knife has cut thorough much, plenty better pretty effortlessly over time. Apart from his now 'wife' LI, that tag is still subject to confirmation though, who he was dating while simultaneously 'shirking or wozing' EEA too, he was also at a time digging through and dealing with the famous "Bermuda Triangle" of that very tall, exquisite looking, fashionista of ex-beauty queen--DL, who loves to death to show off her mildly molded new body. The mother of one, is a shopping complex owner along that very famous road or way on the Island. He was also at a point very interested in KK the tall exciting and mad dresser of the 'good' business, whom he apparently chased through FF. SJ is also living up to his own self-made legend as one who comes on relentlessly, sweeping you off your feet, plays deftly and then scores the goal as rapidly as he wants and then vanishes and in to the next. He also did dance "azonto" with Sabrina too. But he danced Azonto or is it "shaku shaku with LI and became hooked and that might just end it all.

But the truth is this, even if both have agreed to become one, can a legendary leopard change its spots ?????

Congratulations to the duo though, if in actual fact the deed has been done. And congratulations also as per the bundle of joy too!!!!

FICTION OR WHAT?  

MORE DRAMA ADDED TO THE DRAMA IN LAGOS AS JIMI AGBAJE THROWS IN HAT TOO TO CONTEST!!!

Jimi Agbaje 



The drama to see who becomes the next Governor of the state of excellence, that is Lagos State has gone totally off the roof, as renowned Pharmacist and politician, infact the alleged winner of the last election, Mr. Jimi Agbaje 61 (Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje), a relation of the MD/CEO of GTBank-Segun Agbaje has again thrown his hat into the race too.

JK/JayKay like Jimi Agbaje is better known had contested in 2015 as the flagbearer of the PDP then, and from the results that was declared which swept Akinwunmi Ambode of the APC into power, the gentleman was said to have lost gallantly but by the nearest margin possible in an election, especially one contested for in Lagos. There were those then, who actually felt and even believed that JK might have won that election, but at the end of the day the officially declared result /record said Akinwunmi Ambode won and the rest like they say is history.

So after 3 years in oblivion, without even a whimper of any kind, somewhat licking his wound and totally minding his business, doing all that was possible to get his company back on sound footing again, the man who gave the APC a major scare then and a run for their money has decided all over again, to give the race towards becoming the Governor of Lagos a fair try once again.

We think that with what is seemingly ongoing at the APC, where there is the likelihood that the incumbent, Akinwunmi Ambode might not get the nod for a 2nd term, the PDP are of the opinion things might not augur well for the APC, so they are preparing to take advantage of the situation. Some are of the thought that if Jide Sanwoolu actually emerges as the APC aspirant or candidate and Ambode is discarded, there might ensue some form of protest votes against the APC, just like it happened with SDP & NRC, many years back, allowing for a good candidate of the opposition the opportunity to just sneak in and take the poll. Sane way Sir Michael Agbolade Otedola came in to power then though his reign was shortlived!

So with JK expressing his interest and intention, maybe it would be a battle between JK and Femi Otedola, to secure the ticket of the PDP to run against whoever emerges on the card of the APC. Though Otedola's interest in becoming a Governor of Lagos had been thought to be later in the future, precisely 2023, he might be forced to move that ambition backward to 2019, with how things are panning out, especially if Ambode were to lose out to Sanwoolu at the APC primary that's upcoming!

People have claimed amd had said there had been some kind of unsubstantiated gentleman's agreement between Ambode & Otedola not to run against each other for any reason, but the so called agreement becomes null and void, in the circumstance that Ambode is not involved no more as a candidate of the APC.

But even if the oil and gas mogul would want to run, he would still have to battle it out 1st with gentleman JK, who also would need to resurrect his comatose team and machinery for the fierce battle ahead. First in a duel with either FO and some others, to see who would become the Party's flagbearer, before moving in to face the main battle for the massive prize!

So would it be Ambode vs. JK part or series 2? Or would it be Sanwoolu vs. JK or FO-battle royale in Lagos? Hmmmmmmm.......

Let's just wait to see, as the unending drama unfolds!!!! As we the spectators/audiences gets our popcorns to watch in HD!   

AND LINDA'S BABY NAME IS JAYCE JEREMI FINALLY PUTTING TO BED BABY'S PATERNITY

Blogger confirms once and for all, who her baby's dad is it's none other than........ Sholaye Jeremi.

Linda Ikeji with JAYCE Jeremi

Sholaye Jeremi 

Sholaye Jeremi l, Femi Otedola, Dr. Ibe Kachukwu & Aliko Dangote 

Nigeria's and Africa's most successful blogger bar none announced to the world just this Monday the birth of her bundle of joy, who she had called baby J.

Immediately after the good news, which she had released all by herself on her IG page, it was like the heavens opened as best wishes and congratulations poured in unabatedly.

This boy, a bouncing baby boy born to her on Monday September 17, 2018 at the Emory University Hospital Atlanta, USA just 2 days to her 38th birthday has come as a beautiful gift from God.

And today, Wednesday, September 19, 2018 the super elated new mom finally put to rest all the speculations that has followed her since she announced that she was on the 9 months leave or should we call it sabbatical, which she has just finished. She announced that her new bundle of Joy's name is Jayce Jeremi.

It had been said or speculated without confirmation that the father of the new baby was Sholaye Jeremi, while a few other name had sprang up too. But more fingers were pointed at Sholaye Jeremi who is acclaimed to be a close friend of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachukwu. Now with the announcement of the baby's name Linda has confirmed that the Itsekiri dad is truly Sholaye Jeremi, hence no more speculations again.

The story had been that the baby daddy might not have sanctioned the pregnancy, maybe his agenda from the get go was just for them both to have a beneficial, symbiotic relationship, but Linda knowing fully well that her biological time to be a mom might be winding down had thoughtfully refused to abort and decided to have her baby a very sane decision we dare say, with or without her beau's consent.

Sholaye Jeremi lives in Ikoyi and is in his 40s, a Delta dude much involved in the Oil and Gas sector, so according to the gist he is very liquid, equally liquid as his girlfriend and now baby mama. Maybe now with the birth of their baby, whose initials is JJ, maybe both would now do the most honourable thing and forgo ego and do the right thing by getting engaged and then married!!!

Truth be told though, either married or not, Linda can very well take care of her baby and more of she needs to go it all alone.

Congratulations to both daddy and mommy all over again. 

SENATOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE STRIKES AGAIN & AGAIN AS HE WOOS ELECTORATES WITH HIS DANCING!

Can a man throw away the gift that nature has bestowed on him just to please the world? We don't think so! For to please the world and in it displease your self is tantamount to self delusion.

So since what Senator Ademola Adeleke knows best to do is dancing and since that his skill seems to be getting him the required attention and unbelievable followership then please, distinguished dancing robot or King, dance one!!!!!

Everywhere Senator Ademola Adeleke goes to he always yields to the cravings of the crowds. He strives so very hard to please them. Even if he cannot boast of any qualification whatsoever apart from the certificate of attendance from secondary school to the higher level, as long as he as shown to the people that their every wish is his command and that he would gladly give in to their every wish, then he should please dance on!!!

It is quite obvious for all to see that in Osun State, people have had enough of over seriousness and wants a more relaxed personage at the helm of affair. Someone who is a jolly good fellow and can entertain them at the drop of a hat, abi now, what does it take to govern now? It's not rocket science at all, when one can just be a figure head and hire the best of men and women from all over to do the needful. How can one want to throw away a pedigree honed from birth, where entertaining the family opened doors for you from when young even till now. Why go to school, when you could entertain and get every single thing you have ever wanted or dreamt about? It is only indolent folks, who cannot think beyond their noses that would say or think fun, does not pay.

Do we even understand the drive needed, the energy expended to entertain? It takes vast knowledge of the different styles of different times and era to grab the mind of the people. So whoever thinks our beloved Senator is not a smart man, done should have his or head examined!!!

One other thing that Osun State would have going for her for free for the next 4 years, should Adeleke win on Saturday, September 22, 2018 would be plenty of humongous concerts and entertainment more often as Senator Ademola Adeleke's sons-Shina Rambo and B-Red with their more illustrious cousin Davido, would most certainly always storm the state with their other friends to entertain the citizenry for FREE!! Is that one alone not a super enough evidence of gains of democracy or dividend of democracy!

We can bet that the 1st term in the office for the incredibly fleet-footed Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who can easily beat Johnny Kemp or even rival Chris Brown at a dance competition any day, anytime would be like a breeze, with everyone having undiluted and unpretentious fun all the way.

So please Osun people, forget everything else and make sure that your sanity is what pushes you to make your choice. It's a divide, a choice between overseriousness and plain fun and relaxation. Like Senator Ademola Adeleke has said in his campaign, it is a divide between light and darkness. So we beg of you all, please pick LIGHT!!!!!!

Please and pretty please vote with your head screwed right on Saturday. 

WELCOME TO THE NEW KOTOKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ACCRA, GHANA

Ghana is one of the several countries in the West African region of Africa. A very proud nation with very rich history, culture and heritage, a country greatly blessed with very welcoming people. They do not boast for any reason as being the most powerful black nation on earth or that their economy is the number one or two or even number three in Africa. Their (total GDP ppp being $144 plus billion)(GDP nominal of $49 plus billion) & per capital of $4,982) neither are they the most populated country in Africa too, (28 plus million people) in all.

They are a nation blessed with gold and that in great abundance too, infact they are the 7th largest producer of gold and most probably now the largest producers of Cocoa in the world and not too far back, they apparently discovered crude oil and they are said to have the 5th largest reserve in Africa, something that we in Nigeria had discovered and exploited since the 60s and most probably have the largest reserve in Africa and one of the largest in the world.

One of the few things that Ghana competes very well with Nigeria on are football, jollof rice, music and hospitality. On jollof rice, the Ghanaians believe very strongly that they cook a better one, that their version or variety of the food is much better than ours and that in fact the best. As per music, truth be told the Ghanaians a super talented and have a good understanding of rhythm, especially as concerning their interpretation of their own form of highlife. In terms of hospitality, Ghana, especially Accra in the country has enjoyed much beehive of activities in the last few years and because of the development, there has been a whole lot or loads of upgrades in many areas. Their hotels likes of Kempinski, Movenpick, African Regent, Labadi Beach, Villa Monticello, Tang Palace and more are very very upscale. Infact  they are on the level of their counterparts either in Europe, Asia or even in America.

When it comes to football, they have somewhat enjoyed far more successes in the West African region amongst the countries in that axis.

The improvements in their many facets of life has not been limited to only the hotels though, it has touched many areas too, but the newest one right now that has gotten everyone applauding very vigorously and commendably too and has shown good signs of a Government intention to attract more people to their country. Tourism is the 4th largest money earner for Ghana. A country that is infact already very well known to be very welcoming of visitors, has taken it many notches up with the new KOTOKA international Airport, Terminal 3. For those who might not know Ghanaians are infact rated as the "11th most friendly nation in the world", that's in the whole universe and that's a big deal! And in Africa they are considered the Nos 1! As at 2017 they were rated as the 43rd most peaceful nation in the world!

We have always said it that how a country is perceived (for perception is very key) by first time visitors or visitors in general, the kind of impression they can form so easily without unnecessary prompting can largely be influenced by how that country's international airport is. The airport and its immediate surroundings can immediately make a discerning person form an opinion that could stick permanently and that can be hard to change afterwards!

The many pictures in this write-up for us says it all. Like already stated, the pictures are that of the new Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana. You are free to deduce whatever you feel is best from what the pictures, aims to pass across. Though Ghana might somewhat not be as (RICH) financially as we are, but they seem to be getting certain things right far better than we do.

This new airport was built for a total of $250million dollars. It was built by a Turkish company in collaboration with some other companies. For a total of $400 million dollars, other airports in Ghana would be upgraded and updated to world's standards.

The groundbreaking of the new ultra modern airport was done on March 2016 and now a little over 2 years it is ready and functioning.

Africa is not backward, no no, not all. But just that certain people/elements and in the minority at best, at the helm of affairs, bent on not allowing Africa to reach her height takes us back or leaves us stagnant. We are blessed by God with the very best the world can offer, in all areas of endeavors. May we take the Bulls by the horns as we journey towards fulfilling our repressed potentials.

More pictures after the break!
