VONNE COUTURE'S YVONNE NWOSU ADDS A YEAR & SHE'S ON TOP OF THE WORLD!






Yvonne Nwosu is the not so shy Creative Director of her own eponymous fashion brand VONNE couture, the brand that opened the flood gate at the resurgent Arise Fashion Week 2018 a few months back.

The celebrity designer and fashionista par excellence is very well known for her quite quirky in your face style, which normally always always sets tongues wagging in excitement. She has a way about doing good combos and taking great pictures at the same time too.

The French speaking and statuesque mother of one, is a year older today 08/08/18 and to mark the beautiful day, the unrepentant and proud lioness is roaring very loudly with excitement with a few of her good friends all having a super swell time as we speak in far way idyllic Turkey. The choice of Istanbul Turkey as the ideal spot to celebrate, is obviously well thought out. For those who do not know, Istanbul Turkey is the middle point between Europe and Asia, while it is a fantastic place for business people who do not want to go as far as China, it is also a very, quite exotic at that, holiday spot too. In fact the 2 very distinct cultures of Europe and Asia meet inside the state, so it's like having the best of both worlds in just one place.

We guess from the above very fun and happy pictures it's been fun galore all day.

Congratulations to VONNE of life. Long may you live!

ON AKPABIO'S DEFECTION! THE DIE IS CAST AS HE RESIGNS AS SENATE MINORITY LEADER



From all indications now, it looks for certain that there's no going back on his decision to jump ships no more. It's obvious that the die is already cast. That's talking about the erstwhile Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

Many, especially members of the PDP and those he was very close to were still hoping against all hope, that the whole defection affair might have just been a nightmare dream that they were having and that they would soon be jolted out of their deep and uncomfortable slumber to a new day to see that it was all a lie, but alas, the reality check now is that, the former 2 terms Governor of the oil rich Akwa Ibom state, who is said to have done a massive and excellent job while he was  Governor, is most definitely going to dump the PDP come tomorrow!

So towards his move to officially defect at a ceremony planned for tomorrow, Wednesday, August 8, 2018 in his home state of Akwa Ibom, Senator Godswill Akpabio has tended his letter of resignation as the Senate Minority Leader of the House of Assembly in a letter dated, Saturday, August 4, 2018. The resignation letter was addressed to his former deputy, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha and it reads thus-

Senator Emmanuel Bwacha
Deputy Senate Minority Leader
Senate New Building
National Assembly Complex
Abuja

Distinguished brother,

Resignation as Senate Minority Leader

May I extend to you and my dear colleagues in the People Democratic Party (PDP) Senate Caucus of the 8th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria the compliments and best wishes of my constituents and I.

This letter is to formally inform you of my resignation as the Senate Minority Leader with effect from August 4, 2018.

Let me thank the Senate minority leadership, our distinguished colleagues and our great party, the PDP for the opportunity to lead the Caucus in the last three years.

Please accept the assurances of my highest esteem.

33 AND STILL RELENTLESS. CELEBRATING TOP NIGERIAN MODEL TARMAR AWOBOTU








Tarmar Awobotu is probably Nigeria's oldest international model, who is still strutting her stuff magnificently on the world stage giving those much younger than she is a run for their money!

Truth even being told, there are not many of the younger models right now even at their top height or at the top of their game, that can stand next to or shoulder to shoulder with this fierce and uncompromising lioness (amazon) of the catwalk.

Since she came into our consciousness and on the scene more than a decade ago in fact close to 17 years ago, the now 33 years old has been relentless and instead of her to be showing the signs of waning after all this years, she instead has been reinventing herself looking better and better as the years goes by, even ageless if we can use that expression. The beauty of it all is that all of those her contemporaries and colleagues that reigned then, are nowhere to be found now, but like a constant star she has been and still is in our face and strutting her stuff majestically at that.

Signed to Ice Model SA, where she has been living for more than a decade now. She won Miss Tourism Ogun in 2004, that's 14 years ago and in 2012, March 17, 2012 to be more precise she emerged from amongst 45 shortlisted contestants from around the world that participated, to win Top Model of the World competition, which held in the UK.

Already preparing long ahead for when she would some day retire from the catwalk fully, she owns her own Event management brand.

At just 33 and still single, she's still just about to start life.

Happy birthday T!!! 

FOR LANRE DA SILVA AJAYI LIFE BEGINS AT 40!






Lanre Da Silva-Ajayi is undoubtedly one of Nigeria's best designers. In fact she's one of the most internationally recognized Nigerian designer right now and one that's home based at that. Her atelier, is in Lagos, precisely Dolphin Estate in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria.

She is one of the very few in the cutthroat industry, where you are up there today and gone tomorrow that has helped to place Nigeria, on the world map, while also placing her name high up there when it comes to the fashion industry.

At the age of 27 years old in 2005 after she had returned to Nigeria from her studies in the UK, where she had bagged a 1st degree in Business Administration at the Coventry University and a 2nd degree (Masters) in Finance from the University of Leicester, she founded her award winning ams quite successful eponymous brand better known now simply as LDA.

It has been a roller-coaster of a magic carpet kinda ride ever since. A decade and 3 years in the fashion industry since that humble beginning in 2005. And like an acorn that was well planted in a good soil and one that has been very well nurtured ever since, she has grown in leaps and bounds ever since then, dazzling all comers year after year with her awesome and incomparable creativity and great charm, from Lagos to London to New York to Paris and more, winning converts in droves as they experience her offerings. In fact Lanre's celebrity following, which cuts across the young and not so old, is one of the most impressive of any, with those loyal to her mesmeric amd nearly magical creations not willing to shift base, whatsoever.

So today, Monday, August 6, 2018 is the very married, mother of 2's 40th year on earth. Her beautiful birthday at that and the friends and associates of the successful lioness of a creative maven have been besides themselves with joy, blowing her trumpets unstoppably and banging and thumping their drums in unmitigated celebration of her.

We too, having been swept off our feet by the excitement, are happy to flow in the euphoric air while wishing her the very best of a new lease of life.

Happy birthday Lanre!

APAPA CONGESTION: AMBODE FLAGS OFF EXPANSION OF ABAT TRUCK TERMINAL IN ORILE








...To Explore Another 5,000-Capacity Terminal In Ijanikin

...Extends Egan-Agric Road Project To Ayobo, Orders Palliative Work On Ikotun-Ijegun, Others

…Inspects Ongoing Projects Across The State

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Sunday flagged off the expansion of the ABAT Truck Terminal in Orile Iganmu, assuring that work would be accelerated on the 1000-capacity terminal to take trucks parked indiscriminately on the roads and bridges.

Governor Ambode, who led an extensive inspection of ongoing projects across the State that last for about six hours, said the expansion of the Terminal was one of the resolutions reached at the recent meeting with stakeholders, especially in the Maritime sector on finding lasting solutions to take containerized trucks permanently off the roads, a development that is majorly responsible for the gridlock in the Apapa area.

The Governor said: "One of the resolutions is that we should have authorised truck Terminal Park and so my visit to this place today is to flag off the reconstruction of this terminal so that we can accommodate 1000 trucks.

"We would do this in collaboration with the Nigeria Ports Authority so that the call-up system can work efficiently. The expansion we are adding to this particular terminal in which we have decided to acquire the adjoining land, we would use that primarily for non-petroleum trucks so that we can sectionalized these trucks and allow the call-up system to work.

"This is just part of the efforts that the State Government is making to make sure this Apapa gridlock and the truck menace becomes a thing of the past permanently."

Governor Ambode also disclosed that the State Government has concluded plans to utilise an expanse of land in Ijanikin area with a capacity to accommodate at least 5,000 trucks.

"I have just been briefed that we have an additional land space in Ijanikin that can accommodate 5000 trucks. We will explore that possibility immediately; all that we are doing is just to make sure that there is a permanent solution to this whole idea of trucks destroying our bridges and roads," he said.

A CASE OF DO ME I DO YOU AS AKPABIO MOVES TO THE APC IN THE AFTERMATH OF SARAKI'S MOVE TO THE PDP!

Senator Godswill Akpabio

It's either just another political masterstroke of unbelievable proportion or maybe, just maybe another surpreme covert move of the most unexpected kind for the future which when it would be played as it should, would be a deft genius move of unprecedented effect, a move that would be the most sagacious and would most assuredly, completely break the spine of the APC as a party. A true masterstroke in every sense of the word. That's if it is actually a subterfuge.

But for now as it is on the surface, if there's nothing clandestine about the move and it is actually a genuine and plane move devoid of any future intended trickery or treachery, then Senator Godswill Akpabio's intended move away from his beloved PDP- his soon to become former party to the APC, might just be the most deft move yet, that the APC has ever been able to orchestrate in their history.

Talk of chess playing of the most masterful kind, and that's just what this crossing or change of allegiance can be compared to! You lost some supposed bigwigs--3 Governors and members of the National Assembly-about 50 plus of them, whose electoral weight or value might have waned and then gain an heavyweight and some, from a very strategic area- South-South/South-East, whose electoral weight/value is still as formidable as it were from day one.

So as it is, it would just be a case of while the PDP were still prematurely gloating and back-slapping each other for a supposed back-breaking masterstroke victory, from a supposed good job well done as directed and produced by the Senate President-Dr Bukola Saraki, who was the PDP's arrowhead, the APC who normally should have started seeing and feeling the results of the rigor mortis brought by the dead shot on their party, have from nowhere just pulled off the carpet from under the PDP, as they too have responded in kind with Senator Akpabio's and company planned movement the other way.

All the above though, are still permutations, not until Thursday, August 9, 2018 in Akwa Ibom when the planned dumping and receiving would have taken place before one can actually believe that truly, Akpabio and Co have left PDP officially to now camp with the APC.

Meanwhile, the next few days before the actual defection date can still spring many surprises. Reason for that majorly is because many can not still fathom, why all of a sudden, when it seems like the stock of his party the PDP is on the virtual  rise after being in coma for so long, and it is at that particular time that he has chosen to now defect. Also it's not like he is a virtual nobody at his party who is looking for a position, him being the Senate minority leader alone,  translates to him being the leader of his party at the National Assembly, meaning he is the leader of the shadow government, were it to be another style of government! The 3rd reason again why people are so baffled as to why in the world he would want to defect, is that apart from the so called battle of wits with his protégé, the present Governor of his home state, Udom Gabriel Emmanuel who he supposedly single-handedly anointed and installed, he supposedly has/had a very good relationship with the hierarchy of the PDP, so why quit then?????

So in order to at least justify the so called mind boggling defection, some have had to come up with some speculations, chief of which is that maybe the ruling party has gotten him in a vice like grip that the only way out for him was just to change camp!

So we are all eagerly awaiting Thursday, August 9, 2018 to see what would actually happen. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

ELATED MO ABUDU ANNOUNCES DAUGHTER'S ENGAGEMENT


Adebola and Temidayo

Showing off her rock! 
Mo Abudu

Tick-tock, Tick-tock says the clock as the faint sounds of wedding balls are quietly ringing and jingling somewhere in the horizon. The clouds of merriment are gradually coming together to prepare to show off their beauties. And the jingling and continuous sonorous clanging of the bells would be getting louder and louder as the day goes by towards the D-day, yet to be chosen or better still yet to be announced.

What's coming up? It's none other than the wedding party of Temidayo, the daughter of the dame of TV in Nigeria, that's the one and only Mo ABUDU, the founder of Ebony LifeTV.

Love was in the air just yesterday, when Mo's daughter who works at her mom's company got engaged to her beau by name Adebola and the super elated and doting mama was so happy to let the world know what had just happened when she exclaimed joyfully-

"Good evening beautiful people, I have the best news to share ever💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽, my darling daughter Temidayo got engaged today to the love of her life Adebola. I couldn’t be happier💝🎀. So proud of them both and the love they share. I pray God keeps them both in good health and may God’s light continue to shine on them both 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I am now officially the “mother of the bride to be” 😍❤😍. Work now begins on planning #therealweddingparty💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. Lord I praise you. Lord I thank you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽"


Temidayo herself had elatedly exclaimed about her engagement, when she posted -

" My heart! "Think I may need goggles" I love you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. "

Congratulations to them! 

THE MAN DEWUNMI OGUNSANYA! THE MAKINGS OF A QUIET GENTLEMAN WORTH SEVERAL BILLIONS


Dewunmi Ogunsanya, SAN 

There is Aliko Dangote, rated as the wealthiest African on earth bar none now for several years running, and then there is Otunba Dr. Mike Agbolade Adenuga Jnr, Folorunsho Alakija, the only female yet now, that can sit pretty without shaking in this league of extraordinary gentlemen and lady, that also has as members the likes of Femi Otedola, Sayuu Dantata, AbdulSamad Isiyaku Rabiu, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia and many more like them.

One major thing that's the common denominator about all the names mentioned and their ilks is that they control such stupendous and extraordinary wealth that can blow the minds of many to smithereens. In fact, so rich are they that, they are richer than many African countries and many other non African countries combined together.

Most of those mentioned, including many others not mentioned are those that can be referred to and tagged as the "men and woman of timber and caliber". The true movers and shakers of the society. They are the actual colossi or better still juggernauts of our time and in our clime.

Imagine that for one of the men, he receives at least 3 billion cool money every month from his investments without a whimper and what that translates to is at least a guaranteed 36 billion annually comes in. At just a half century old, he is already in seni-retirement and just consolidating now. That's for someone who only a few years back nearly went bankrupt and even flirted with thoughts of suicide! But he has since bounced back much better, richer (wealthier) and far smarter.

Woman of substance, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija stands alone, far alone as the only woman in the upper Liga of the filthy rich (filthy here is not talking about dirt). In fact, she is a woman of many firsts. The first Nigerian woman to be rated by Forbes as a certified/authentic billionaire, not a paper or imaginary one. She has been rated as one of the 4 wealthiest black women on earth the past several years now and no known Nigerian woman/women is/are near her yet. Not a small feat, if we may say that.

Though, many of these people are very well known by virtue of their immense and earth shaking wealth and have been spoken about like in folklores, one name that has quietly crept up the ladder, without many necessarily knowing and that would stand side by side like a rock, with a few of these men of means without flinching, but that has remained very quiet and deliberately so at that, is none other than our subject matter, Mr. Adewunni Adedeji Ogunsanya.

The man DEWUNMI OGUNSANYA, is the chairman of Multichoice Nigeria Limited, that entertainment powerhouse worth several billions, who are the promoters of the only Cable TV network in Nigeria DSTV-mnet, Africa Magic, GoTv.

The graduate of law, from the prestigious University of Kent in Canterbury UK in 1984, has come a long way from the days of being just an ordinary barrister-at-law to being a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a very filthy rich investor today. That's 34 years of solid practise.

According to our findings, if our intel is as accurate and on target as it should be, this lawyer par excellence and one with a major presence wherever he appears, is probably the 2nd largest property owner in Banana Island, that haven of the stupendously rich, where they call their home or abode. Banana Island is where lands, without any structure on it go for as little as a billion Naira! Part of the way to gauge whether a man is actually wealthy, rich or just forming in Nigeria is where they own their home. Do not forget that he not too long ago added a luxurious high rise apartment building on Bourdillon, Ikoyi to his already quite impressive property portfolio.

To get the passmark and the nod of approval, you either have your home in old Ikoyi or even to a certain extent Ikeja GRA, but in actual fact more of old Ikoyi. Dewunmi's statement home in Old Ikoyi, (Queen's Drive to be more precise) when we say statement home, we mean it to the very letter, is actually worth a few billions of Naira. Imagine that 2 buildings in adjacent compounds were collapsed to build a single one in an expansive and quite impressive and expensive compound. The value of that property alone without the structure on it alone is worth a few billions, not to now talk of the structure itself, which is a stupendously gorgeous, super smart home with all the works. We can tell you for free that there are homes in Nigeria, that would dazzle all comers from the around the world. Dewunni's impressive home is as top notch as they come and that's in an elite neighbourhood where other buildings can cause heart palpitations!

Let's also now mention another one of the investments of Barrister DEWUNMI Ogunsanya, SAN. From what we found out, Mr. Ogunsanya, is a Non-executive Director of Heritage Bank Plc, and is probably the single largest shareholder of that financial institution, that was founded in 1989 and with about 160 plus branches and with a total asset as at 2015 of $1.7 billion dollars. We hear that his investment in HB is colossal, so much so that to divest wouldn't do the bank any good.

One of Mr. Ogunsanya's most fantastic and smartest ever investment though is Multichoice Nigeria Ltd, they are like we already said the promoters of Nigeria's only cable TV network. With subscribers in the hundreds of thousands and no visible rival or competition in the horizon, it's like owning and living inside the mint. So just imagine what comes in from that investment alone!

So a big salute to a man who saw a good opportunity and invested and has succeeded fantastically. The man DEWUNMI OGUNSANYA!

DESPITE THE CONSTANT SCRUTINY OMOTOKE MAKINWA IS SET ON GLOBAL DOMINATION








In her own little way, she has conquered to a certain extent her world. She is already a well recognised and well known celebrity worth her salt. A respected OAP to a certain level and a best selling author to add to the mix, while also being an acknowledged influencer of note, one of the biggest at that if what we hear is anything to go by. So by that alone, her fan base must be in the millions and in our world of social media millionaires now, she's raking in the dough, left, right and center and having a good time at it.

There are very, very many, who are always excitedly feeding on or ready to feed on, the package by the 21st century media phenomenon known to Nigerians and other Africans, across the globe as OMOTOKE MAKINWA!

We can bet that one of Toke's acclaimed idol, Kim Kardashian wouldn't in anyway be disappointed by her trajectory, all in the span of less than a decade.

What that just says mainly is that If you believe in something as much as you should, and you are focused on making it succeed in the face of everything, not minding or seeing the obstacles on your way, not minding the snide remarks that could come from your quest to be at the top of the ladder, not minding to swim through the gutters and midst of sharks, or jump the hills etc, then the sky is just your beginning.

The quest towards becoming that well recognised global brand, might be what has taken Toke to take over New York of recent. So in your face was the recent conquering that a popular US based, but very widely read Lifestyle platform even published it, when Toke's style was compared to Lisa Folawiyo's and that of the publisher of Fashion Bomb-Claire Sulmers, all 3 ladies wore the same type of shoes but styled in 3 different and very distinct ways.

Our very own Omotoke, placed her best foot forward in her purple above the knee or better still knife over the knee, Balenciaga Spandex Boots ($1850) worn with her supremely sexy white top looking all fly, like she was late star acting bombshell with the blonde Marilyn Monroe strutting with grace and oomph on New York Streets. Let's not lie at all, Toke's style game since about a year ago, going 2 years now has totally gone outta the roof. If at any point, an authentic most stylish or best dressed list ever comes up, she would feature very strongly in and on it and she might even carry tops in her age range group at that. And the way we see it, she's not relenting on the oomph anytime soon, at least till the earth shall cease to exist.

We can also predict that most likely, another best selling book might be in the offing again soon, this time most likely talking about how to dominate your space, no matter what. So apart from featuring her New York New York pictures, we have also showcased about 2 or 3 more outstanding shots of her in some other outstanding pieces too, to show that Toke the original Tokstar is a style maven without conpare.

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

Abisola Kolapo-Daisi






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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

More after the break.
