STILL ON THE FOWLER & IMOUKHUEDE'S WEDDING. KSA, 112 & TENI DAZZLES AT THE 'SUPER SUNDAY PRIVATE PARTY' IN IKOYI SPONSORED BY AIGBOJE!

ANOTHER ENTERTAINING EXCLUSIVE FROM MAESTRO'S MEDIA.

Couple, Aigbovbioise & Funke

Wale Tinubu, Aliko Dangote & Teni

112

So they had kept all the information about the wedding ceremonies hush-hush for those they didn't want to come, but as your neighborhood good snoop that we are, we were able to know that the engagement/traditional wedding was done on Thursday and that the actual wedding was on Saturday, April 13, 2019 and then the private party of all private parties, Groom's party was on Sunday, April 14, 2019 in Ikoyi, Lagos. Party still ongoing as this report was published.

The duo had apparently decided that it was better to have a so called 'low profile' wedding ceremony in quote than a loud celebrity one with all the attendant noise. What with Aigbovbioise being in his 40s, that's middle or late 40s say about 48 at that and Funke doing this same thing a 2nd time around and clocking about 35. So though devoid of the so called 'expected razzmatazz' like Funke's 1st one that was extremely loud for a purpose, like Nigeria's own version of Princess Diana got married then, it was still class and distinction all the way. But we heard that to enter the Oriental Hotel, Lagos venue of the Saturday part of the event was like a camel 🐫 passing through the eye of the needle! The security to say the least was 'unbecoming'. That party from what we heard was more of a Fowler thing. Though if these series of ceremonies are what people generally refers to as 'low profile', then it beats hands down, many of the very loud ones then without a shadow of doubt.

This one & by that we mean the couple like you all already know very well, is good money jam super good money ooooo, so equation is balance all the way as it is 1-1 scoring draw. This dude here, by name Aigbovbioise is not in any way reliant on daddy's funds at all, you can easily follow his trail and see that the University of Buckingham graduate has risen gradually to the pinnacle of his career and his still growing. Funke's dad on the other hand, is probably one of Nigeria’s 'most liquid' Nigerians alive, as he heads the FIRS-that is, 'Federal Inland Revenue Service', one of the cash cows of the Federal Government, a station where he has performed magic, having left the LIRS-'Lagos Inland Revenue Service', where he had shown great mettle at delivering very well on the job. Funke on her own is quite a successful Fashion/lifestyle Entrepreneur. "Aig the younger" like we prefer to call Aigbovbioise (he is the last born of 4 kids of Pa Frank Aig-Imoukhuede the renowned veteran journalist, poet & playwright), was named after his 'paternal grand-dad' of yore, the Late Pa Isaac 'Aigbovbioise' Imoukhuede, who had passed on since May 1, 1938 long before any of Pa Frank's 4 kids-'Erekpitan, Aigboje, Oluwakemi & Aigbovbioise' were born and on his own, Aigbovbioise is a super okay dude by all standards, but he is also backed by an older brother, the 2nd born child & 1st son at that, who is a super multimillionaire in good currency by name- Aigboje, the 'former CEO of one of Nigeria’s top 5 banks in terms of all ramifications, that's talking about Access Bank Plc and who was also the former President of the 'Nigerian Stock Exchange' and he is currently the chairman of 'Coronation Capitals', the owners of the 'Coronation Group', owners of 'Coronation Merchant Bank', 'Wapic Insurance Plc' & other investments. The elder Aig's (AIG the elder) London home/mansion in a very tush area is said to be a statement in absolute class (that's a story for another day though). And then also Aig's 2nd sister 'Oluwakemi Balogun', infact his immediate elder sister, a business tycoon, is the wife of 'Bolaji Balogun', the MD/CEO of 'Chapel Hill Denham', one of 'Nigeria’s top 5 financial advisory services firm', who is the gentleman 1st son of the 'incredibly stylish banker of note and head or leader of the Omoobas (princes) in Ijebu', the one and only, "Otunba Olasubomi Balogun". So though Funke is coming in big, her man is also very well sat too in all ways & manners.

This Sunday Ikoyi party was an epic one by all standards. It held somewhere in Ikoyi, more accurately at a private property owned by Aigboje on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi Lagos and the color of choice or of the day was 'Cobalt-Blue', which we heard reliably was supplied by none other than Temilade Remi-Adeoye of 'Kwamule Fabrics', who since she came on the scene has become the go to for the best fabrics for all occasions and events in Nigeria. Her store we hear is the mecca as people storm the place to source for exquisite fabrics of distinction for their parties, events & occasions.

According to our findings, this party was more of the Imoukhuede's thing unlike that of Saturday. It was the groom's after wedding party packaged and sponsored by Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, the elder brother of the groom. Though a private party, it had KSA, yes that's the King himself on the bandstand performing and dazzling all. He always still does his thing, when it is the highest caliber of society that's involved and this combo the Imoukhuede's and Fowler's perfectly fits into that mold. When an Aliko Dangote, a Jide Sanwoolu, Prince Dapo Abiodun  Wale Tinubu et al are at a party how more upscale can a party be? But it just wasn't KSA on the bandstand though, there was also that American singing group of yore by name '112' that were also there to entertain too to the delight of all. The quartet wore a white native attire of Buba & Sokoto to perform a medley of their hits. Though much more mature now, they still gave a great account of themselves, singing and at the same time stepping to the beats in tandem. They used to be one of the best R&B group then in the early 2000s. Then also there to perform was the rave of the moment, the super talented Teni, this gal Don blow ooooo ooo, we especially loved how she sang that her popular song where she mentioned Dangote, "but my papa no be Dangote" to the richest black man in the world, who laughed in delight, as the smart gal changed the lyrics claiming Dangote now has a new daughter!

More pictures and story after the break.

AND FINALLY THE DEED IS GETTING DONE AS FUNKE FOWLER WOULD FROM TOMORROW OFFICIALLY BECOME MRS. AIG IMOKHUEDE

A MAESTRO'S MEDIA SUPER WORLD EXCLUSIVE.

Funke Fowler 

Aigbovbioise Aig-Imoukhuede

Don't get it twisted, the tall, quite handsome ex-Access Bank MD/CEO, now Chairman of Coronation Securities, "Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede" is not about to take a new wife, a 2nd wife at that. But it's the younger brother also by near the same name "Aigbovbioise Aig-Imoukhuede", that is finally taking the plunge in to that discovery channel best called "MARRIAGE".

Many had already tagged him as the "perennial bachelor" since he is in his 40s and it was like he was never going to marry at all, but now to the absolute shock of all, he has finally, once and for all we hope though and we pray fervently for too, going to throw off and would be discarding forever that toga, come tomorrow, Saturday, April 13, 2019.. Lest we totally forget, the introduction/whatever maybe traditional engagement was done yesterday. We would have loved to use a few pictures but for a few reasons we can't so as not to point fingers anywhere. But we would drop some further juice soon.again.

Saturday, April 13,2019 which is tomorrow is the D-day from all the indications we have gotten. Come tomorrow at a very hush-hush ceremony, Aigbovbioise would be getting married finally & officially to his gorgeous flame of a few years now, and that's talking about the one and only "Funke Fowler", who would from that time henceforth be addressed as "Funke Imokhuede"! That sounds so beautiful, except if she wants to make it a bit more stylish, it could become "Mrs. Funke Fowler-Imoukhuede", which is too long and lacks the flow.

We had broken the story of the blooming and blossoming relationship as an exclusive sometime ago too; about the 2 lovebirds dating then. But then just because it wasn't a relationship that was much in the public view, some had thought it wasn't true then and doubted it! But even at that, those of us who knew, really knew then that, both were head over heels in love and truly into each other a whole lot.

In fact, the way it was going then, we had even predicted that the wedding bells were going to ring not too long after our then expose. But instead of rushing into it then, both quietly weathered the storm of the unnecessary scrutiny that flashed on then, on what was then and still is a private affair.

For Funke, the naturally beautiful, supremely gorgeous and soft spoken daughter of Tax czar, Mr. Tunde Fowler, this would be her 2nd missionary journey into matrimony. She had given it a try before with the world famous man about Abi Kuku. But alas, that marriage then quickly hit a snag and the duo had to go their own way nor very long afterwards. But now after keeping to herself for a longwhile, cupid again, ever a hopeless romantic and a good nuisance, found her heart as a good 🎯 target and shot his love crazed arrows her way and the rest like they say now is history. Like the world famous award winning singing trio Shalamar, sang many years back, this is the 2nd time around.... . She's learnt now by the experience of the 1st one that went south, and all that experience must now count for something in this one. Truth is, thunder must not strike twice, as this is not something that must be done repeatedly over time..

For Aig though, this is his 1st plunge, a 1st missionary journey into the world of marriage, as he has never being married before at all. And for a man in his 40s, one who has taken his time like a good wine to mature over time and come out best at the right time, this time might just be the that perfect time he had been waiting all along for and for the near perfect person too in delectable Funke. Not only has he done well for himself in business, him not just been the younger brother of a former renowned bank CEO, he also has risen to the level of a director in a financial institution too, he is the head of Coronation Capital Markets at Coronation Merchant Bank and a Board Member at NASD Plc and like Funke, he has good pedigree too to back him up. Aig's dad was a former top Civil servant of yore.

So the road would be leading to the venue of the hush-hush or better still nuptial tomorrow. And according to our findings, Aig wants a quiet nuptial devoid of any and all unnecessary razzmatazz. It would be recalled that when Funke 1st had the taste of such a thing a few years ago, it was a one of a kind series of ceremonies that left mouth agape at the sheer opulence of it. For many seasons it was one of the best weddings to have ever been hosted in Lagos. So with this one, it's better to adopt the principle of, 'once beaten twice shy'. So a very subdued ceremony must also carry major weight with her too. In fact, why gather the multitudes when three quarter of those who would come drink the drink and also eat the food, who do not necessarily want the thing to succeed? So the less the gathering, the best for the couple. So the best advise is to keep roving eyes away from unnecessary scrutiny.

From us here though, we wish the duo a happy married life!!! We are expecting the bambinos asap !!! 🤩 

WHEN MRS. FLORENCE AJIMOBI OUTGOING 1ST LADY OF OYO CLOCKED 60 & THE LAVISH PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE MILESTONE.

This family, that's talking about the outgoing 1st family of Oyo State, the Ajimobis, led by their patriarch in the person of Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Executive Governor of the pacesetter state have enjoyed an 8 year period of bliss (with some occasional bleeps) in Governance. That's talking about 8 birthdays of all kinds that were celebrated & also a few very lavish weddings too and some other occasions and events too. From when the 1st lady was just 52 years old, when they just came to rule then, till now that she's going away at just 60 years of age these family have enjoyed great attention and they have reveled in it. Madam is still as gorgeous as they come. Dr. Mrs. Ajimobi as truly and very obviously taken care of herself over the years very well.

So in a way this particular birthday, though highly significant because madam has now joined the 60s club (she's now a sexagenarian), it was also some form of send off or send forth for the family. As this was going to be one of the last major celebrations they would have whilst still in Government. So no stone was left unturned to make sure that this was lavish, epic or standout in all ramifications. It was an occasion that was awashed with plenty of prayers, with loads of praise and worship songs. In fact, the guest artiste of the day was none other than the world famous gospel crooner Sinach, who serenaded the birthday mama with her powerful and soul lifting voice. It was a very happy mood all through. The quick gloom from the earlier disappointment of not winning the elections in Oyo State, especially as the Governor was denied powerfully the opportunity of going back again to the Senate seem to have disappeared totally. Now it's all about relief. What does he want again when money is over available like an unlimited fountain that can't be stopped?

Madam in her speech at the occasion was especially magnanimous in her appreciation of her loving husband, who she praised to high heavens and the whole family too. Though madam is a practising Christian, a catholic by upbringing, who is said to be half Lebanese, her husband is a practising Moslem, but both live so good together they should be an example of harmonious living for all.

The 60 year old 1st lady was born in Benin, the capital of the then Bendel state on 'April 5, 1959' to the Hajaig family from Lebanon. So she is née Florence Hajaig. She grew up and schooled in in the ancient city of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and is in fact an Ibadan woman to the core. She had all her schooling in Ibadan, from the primary at "Bodija International School, Ibadan" to the secondary at "Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School, Ibadan" to the tertiary at "The Polytechnic, Ibadan" where she got her degree in Secretarial Studies and Management. Her work career also began in Ibadan too. The mother of 5 adorable children, 4 girls (women) with Abisola Kolapo Daisi as the eldest & a boy (man) who is married to Fatima Ajimobi née Ganduje. She married her doting husband who she's extremely close to till tomorrow in 1980.

It was dance galore at a point during the party, and Abisola being a hotstepper of note, gave the usual good account of herself doing the music good justice.

Happy birthday to the Matriarch of the Ajimobi clan. Long may you live. 

WHO IN THE WORLD IS THE WORLD FAMOUS DR. AYO OF VGC?

We hear he is the angel of help that all the gals, ladies, women and some men had been waiting for all this while, so since he came on the scene his place has been the mecca of activities for those in need of one help or the other.

He is the supposed force of nature, that is helping many ladies to achieve their dream bodies, dream shapes, correcting whatever it is they feel is not right or helping to put to shape any part that has gone south or that just needs help generally.

When you suddenly see those you have known before with flat arses, derriere, buttocks and straight hips, no waists, small boobs etc suddenly start showing off their new spanking bodies on Instagram now with shapes, boobs and things to die for. Flaunting their new buttoms to the world with delight, then you know for sure that the magic hands of the man of the moment has waved his magic wand and abracadabra, a new woman has emerged, all brand spanking new. Some even call him the "bum bum carver" . Mennnn what a job to do daily!! !

And he is most likely to be the most popular doctor in Nigeria now. That's talking about Dr. Ayo and the other older Doctor, Dr. Femi.

In Nigeria, it's no more just about flushing out the melanin alone invasively (from inside out) to emerge pure white (oyinbo), though the end product most often still comes with some slight discolorations at some strategic places like the elbows and knees and sometimes the ankle areas, but some still boasts of being able to achieve all round even 'toning' without any dark spots whatsoever. Now though, it's about having a '360 degrees', all round, total change of outlook. The ladies seem to have rediscovered all over again, what the men want and by men, we mean those with the cash, and not just all mere men. So to be able to compete well for the undivided attention of these few made men, who would go to any length to spend for their specifications, the ladies are redoing totally, in fact rejigging were necessary what nature gave them, to emerge more structured and more in your face. It seems to give them the required confidence and saleability that they require or desire badly.

Many of these ladies, both young and old, are going the extra mile to get sorted, to have the body to die for. While some want the end result to look as natural as possible, some are just going all out to stand out at all cost. What many have seen done on cable networks like it was far away as since become a near home experience. And since all cannot fly abroad to Miami and the likes (that's where TM 1st did hers, before coming back to Lagos to correct it after sitting too early). There's a surge in the numbers of those that have engaged in one or two or even more procedures now. Though most like to keep the fact under wraps, as they want most to believe they just achieved their desired body through natural means.

FF & KK both well known entrepreneurs in the lifestyle business in Lagos in Lekki, both have backsides that defies the law of gravity now. So pumped out are their bazookas that they are always the cynosure of all eyes whenever they step out. TM & DL now have more rounded behind that they flaunt now at the drop of a hat.

Now instead of all the expense to travel abroad and the likelihood of even still getting a botched procedure done by the many fakes that litter the US, Lebanon, Philippines, Brazil, the UK etc where the rich or well to do, those who could easily afford it then used to go to do those quiet nips and tucks before it became as popular as it is now. Now no need anymore to fly abroad  again as there is the ready made answer/solution in Lagos, Nigeria and his famous name is Dr. Ayo in VGC.

We hear that the dude is raking in the cash like there's no tomorrow and smiling to the bank nearly everyday for procedures done. In fact some say there is like a queue. The who is who have felt his magic touch and testimonies abound already. We are still compiling the names of those we know who have gone under the knife at one time or the other.

Dr. Ayo from the little information we have gotten went to Medilag, that's the famous University of Lagos Medical school, a few years back before going to further hone his skills abroad and now after a few years of practise, like an acorn has gradually grown into a formidable oak tree that's still spreading its branches MD helping to make many dreams come true. He is said to be in his early 40s and he is probably the most visible, most celebrated plastic surgeon presently in Nigeria.

From sleeping as an ugly duckling in one day, you could now emerge from that your slumber now as a Cinderella, that Prince charming would just be falling head over heels for as you emerge with a full new body and new attitude all by virtue of the magic of Dr. Ayo. 

SAD SAD EXCRUCIATING LOSS AS YOUNG PRETTY SUPER RICH PROPERTY DEVELOPER OYIN OSINKALU SUCCUMBS TO DEATH

Hmmmmmm, so the reaper got another victim again and seemingly won another battle again at the weekend, as it took very untimely a life that was only just showing major promises and that's talking about the young mother of 1, the delightsome stunner and stylish Oyin Osinkalu.

Friday, April 5, 2019 was the sad day, and it is a day that her family members, friends and associates would never forget in a hurry, as it was the day the super hard working and pretty 'Oyin' as she's called by all, succumbed agonizingly to her untimely death after a slight house accident due to some unfortunate health complications. With the unfortunate incident/accident Oyin left behind unfortunately, an adorable 3 year old son, who was her world. Like she had said to us sometime in August of 2018, her world revolved around the boy that she loved with her whole being and her passion, work. Quoting her "My son and my work are my life".

The 37 year old, single mother of one by name Obaoluwa, would have clocked 38 year old this year if not for death that snatched her away in such a cold, remorseless manner. From what we know, she was a generous lady to a fault who would gladly give an arm tobl those close to her, who was also very fun loving, in fact from her days at the University of Ibadan, where she schooled for a bit and where she used to be the cynosure of all eyes then for her striking beauty and effervescent nature. She was always fun to be with and a life of the party.

Oyin's life was lived like she was in a hurry to achieve so many things, so much in a very short period of time. Like she knew that time was against her and she must do things quickly to leave her mark on the sands of time. So she worked really hard, in fact extremely hard and also had fun as much as she could too, in a perfect mix. But like a candle in the wind, her light has been blown out prematurely.

She was until her death, the Executive Chairman (chairperson)/CEO of her own property development and construction company by name 'Twin Passion Ltd", a company she owned solely. And in a short period of the existence of the property firm, she had built and was building a fantastic resume of properties. She began in 2013 at Agungi in Lekki, with a block of well appointed 22 flats of 2, 3 & 4 bedrooms called HoneyVille. That HoneyVille was her first project, that she delivered to loud ovation then for someone that was just getting into the construction and the property business. That project signposted that she was going to be a force to be reckoned with in the business from then on. Thereafter she moved on to build her most famous project by which she became well known in 2015. And that property is the beautiful and quite functional water front project by Radisson BLU hotel on Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos. It is another block of well appointed flats too, about 20 plus in all. This like we already said above was her most famous project and that might be because of the location of it. In 2016 she delivered another, her 3rd project a 24 flats property on Plot 18, Palace Road, Oniru. This streak for a yet to be 40 lady is quite remarkable.

Oyin was well prepared educationally for the quick success that she had. After leaving the premier Nigerian University where she had begun to cut her teeth, that is the University of Ibadan then, she relocated abroad for a while. It was later in South Africa that she got her degree, a Bachelor of Commerce with Specialization in Management and Marketing from the University of South Africa in Pretoria with honors from the University of Wittwaterrand Johannesburg.

Oyinade Osinkalu would be sorely missed by all and sundry, especially her doting family members, her friends and associates, all of who loved her to a fault, most especially her 3 year old son, who we know wouldn't have understood as at yet that his mother is gone forever, till the day of her resurrection.

We were still with her earlier this year at the Traffic on the island where she hosted a few of her friends on just a normal weekend night. The stylish lady had no unnecessary airs around her, she was quite accessible. She would be buried pretty quickly too.

May she find rest! Adieu Oyin. You came, you saw, you tried your best, but didn't conquer the arch enemy of man. Another very sad loss indeed, especially as it is near home.

We commiserate with all who are close to her. Shame on you death! 

*3SOME at The Muson*

Joseph Edgar

3SOME is a bold play written by brilliant Writer and Director Jude Idada.

The Play in a very powerful and passionate way delves into the very deep issues that permeates relationships in our society.

Highlighting a mischievous play on words, 3Some sweetly grabs your attention with its shocking title but immediately moves away from the notational assumed vulgarism to a sweet family oriented story which will carry the audience through a healthy look at deep issues like fidelity, communication, passion and responsibility in a committed relationship. In a comic fashion, it pulls in the role of the iconic Mother in Law in the search for the elusive peace and stability in young marriages.

3SOME comes with a strong Production suite parading such industry giants like the legendary ALIBABA and Showbiz Impressario Olisa Adibua who continues to ride the crest of massive acceptance in a decade long career.

3SOME is the fourth in a series of captivating productions brought into the space by eccentric but brilliant Investment banker cum Theatre Producer Joseph Edgar under his fast growing Duke of Shomolu Productions platform. Edgar in the last three years have delivered almost N100m in face line Production value with his Isale Eko Franchise and  the powerfully successful Oba Esugbayi which drew over thirty Corporate Sponsors and attracted His Excellency The Executive Governor of Lagos State Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.

According to Edgar who is also a popular Columnist and published Author, 3SOME would amongst others force an introspective look by the audience at their relationships in a bid to foster better understanding and strengthen relationships which in all would impact very strongly on society. He went further to state that he chose this boundary pushing vehicle not to only pander to his mischevious streak but to also attempt a versatility in his production offerings while sending a strong message of renaissance into society.

 3SOME is a marked departure from his usual historical laced  Productions where he seems to have made an indelible mark telling our story as a people through captivating and energy driven productions.

WHO COULD TRACY HAVE ANGERED SO MUCH? WHO IS AFTER THE UNPRETENTIOUSLY GORGEOUS & HARDWORKING LADY?

Is it a bad thing to be beautiful?? Is it wrong to be able to effortlessly combine beauty with brain? Why would anyone hate another for being a fashionista of awesome repute? Is it not a fact that Tracy is very good at what she does and so should be celebrated? And therefore she owes no one any apologies whatsoever for God's natural blessings?

But the naysayers wouldn't rest and wouldn't agree. So why would these faceless naysayers, 'anonymouses' at that without spines, who are so scared of their own shadows, very lily-livered souls, without conscience, those who prefer to be masquerades, hiding in the dark rather than coming out in the open into the light to perpetrate their dastardly acts without conscience.

Just imagine the kind of tales by the moonlight they have been spreading about, about this angelic soul of lady, claiming that, all things bright and beautiful  all we see is plastic! Whattt!!!! They that all of the bodacious wonder and supremely sexy body we see with our very own eyes and that leaves our mouth agape all of the time, is all man made. In fact they went as far as saying that Tracy has been under the knife at least 5 good times! The claim further goes that, she's done the surgery all of 3 times abroad and the remaining 2 times in Nigeria here. The naysayers even went as far as saying that one of the surgery was somehow botched and that it affected the pointers on her mounds. Whatttt!!!!!

That actually got to us as we are of the opinion that if that is true, then it's a revelation that must have come from a trusted friend! And even if it were true, would she have shown anyone such a thing to anyone? And then, is it not even her body?

Just look at this awesomely blessed darling and see how God had taken time to sculpt the whole body to perfection and then some people want to give such credits to some doctors in America and Nigeria? What a nerve? ??

That's not all ooooo. In answering our question about why she had decided to go low profile for a while now, under the radar, somewhat incognito. These naysayers also went about to claim that there was a reason behind that need to go quiet. They allege that the gorgeousness personified, has since found her missing bone in a US returnee whose initials could easily form (chief justice!) They say that, so in love are these duo that they are always together, in fact if you want to catch up with both who are permanent fixtures at Cocoon every Sundays, where they have a place always reserved for them, then go catch them there. According to their tales by moonlight, the tall, buff and good looking, filthy rich dude used to live in America and is now in Nigeria for now for one or two reasons before he would either go back or might not again. Dude is said to dote on Tracy so much and takes care of her with his substance and all. Ain't that lovely ??

This super loved up couple are said to have met, when Tracy got a job to do up the dude's place and one thing apparently led to another and they are now so head over heels in love with each other and maybe it could lead to both walking the aisle one day soon too. Dude has a dedicated friend though, said to be a baby Mama who comes in from abroad annually and when she is around, she only gets all of the attention. Dude is said to love humongous, state of the art automobiles. One of his SUV is in fact a one of a kind in Lagos. Dude we also hear is very nice and generous.

According to those spreading Tracy's rumors, her main Bobo then by name Abdul and her parted ways after that attendant fiasco of a public fight that many had frowned on then. She was said to have loved the dude so much, that she was taking good care of him.But alas, the ungrateful dude who was at the law school a few years back still jetted away.

Bad as they might want to paint this very lovely and hardworking lady, from what we know, nothing can take away her shine as she's using all the negative vibes as her stepping stones to greater height. As we speak she's gradually building her own mini-mall, which insha Allah would soon be ready and would0 be celebrated to high heavens. And to tell all the naysayers that they should all go to blazes, you need to see Tracy sometimes late at night when she goes out looking super sultry stunning in those sexy skimpies that show off her dashing shape to the world. 

HOW COME THIS ADMINISTRATION WAS ABLE TO STIFLE MR. JIDE OMOKORE'S GLOW?

Jide Omokore 

Someone should please sound the alarm! Someone should please go to the mountain top to shout it out. Who can one report this present Government to? How could they have stopped the shine of a man who was like the virgin bride everyone wanted to court then? What kind of a kill joy are you??

During the days of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, the name Jide Omokore, the Kogi billionaire was a virtual door opener anywhere.. This billionaire rode the waves admiration like a colossus. Not many wealthy men were in his category or class as he was in a Liga all by himself. His legend preceded him. And it wasn't just in Nigeria alone then. The UAE, the USA & other countries of the world took notice and ate from his palm. He and his super close friend, the other stupendously wealthy dude by name Kola ALUKO, the only blackman to have owned a 100M rated luxury yatch, were unmatchable then. These 2 controlled private jets like it was a bus to carry people around from place to place. Even those who had made billions before them, couldn't match these duo's razzmatazz and effect. In fact many of the wealthy then, took back seats and were watching the new blockbuster epic that was rolling then. These 2 new kids on the block were the ones reigning, so all others had to take notice & learn by example. The duo knew the color of money inside out very well. They had enslaved & lassoed money into submission and they knew its secrets and how to send it on errands. Money in all its grace, glory and height, knew who was its boss. The kind of gifts that Mr. Omokore gave out then to those around him were staggering to say the least. That particular legend we cannot just talk about. We used to know a lawyer that worked for him, whose favorite car amongst several other super cars he owns, was a Rolls Royce, a stunning blue one in fact. This person's home inside Nicon Estate then was a statement in class and distinction.

At the height of Mr. Omokore's reign then, before this crazy time of forced quietude, his SPOG Petrochemicals, one of the companies under his control was a major beehive of activities. It was one of the major companies then that people wanted to be identified with. That same brand like its boss has gone deathly quiet too, unlike how it used to be.

We would never ever forget how for a few days, years back, Mr. Omokore literally nearly took over Dubai. That oil rich Emirate that is a tourist haven felt the power of the Nigerian billionaire in an awesome way, when his 1st son married the daughter of the man then in charge of one of the richest government parastatals. The number of private jets that ferried people to and fro Dubai for that wedding of the season was unprecedented. Dubai knew some major African heavyweights landed in town  that week. The number of ministers or better still Government officials, plus royal fathers and other guests that attended was unbelievable. The gifts that those privileged to attend got were unmatchable till date.

But just as suddenly like a bolt out of the blues that he emerged on the scene and razzled-dazzled all comers, this man of immense means just also so suddenly receded into his anonymous cocoon. Is it that he is not as fiendishly wealthy as he used to be again? How could this Government have so stifled a super generous billionaire like Uncle Jide? Why hound the gentleman into a cave like he is comatose? In fact, what is wrong with this administration? 

ALARM RAISED IN OGUN STATE BY INCOMING GOVERNMENT OVER PLAN TO SABOTAGE HER BY OUTGOING GOVERNMENT OF IBIKUNLE AMOSUN

Senator Ibikunle Amosun 

It seems like what couldn't be achieved via the ballot/election at the last Ogun State Gubernatorial Election 2019 is what the outgoing Governor and his administration wants to make happen at all cost now with only a few weeks to their handover.

Against what he wants, Senator Elect and outgoing Governor of Ogun State, in the person of Senator Ibikunle Amosun would be handing over to his sworn enemy, Prince Dapo Abiodun, who gallantly defeated his anointed candidate, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade at that  election to become the Governor Elect of Ogun State against all odds.

So now that the Governor is done with that dastardly project at which he failed, which was to prevent Prince Dapo Abiodun at all cost from becoming the next Governor, the best & only option now left is to sabotage the incoming government as much as possible, even before that government would take over from the outgoing administration. So with the many clandestine activities of the outgoing which the APC in Ogun State is not finding funny at all, the spokesperson for the party in the state has raised the alarm to warn all those involved as per the repercussions that awaits those involved in all the rush-rush acts.

Hear him-

11th HOUR TRANSACTIONS; CAVEAT EMPTOR (BUYERS BEWARE)!*

It has come to our notice that the outgoing administration of His Excellency, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, is busy with last minute awards of contracts, selling and auctioning of government properties, and secret  recruitments into the civil service, in a way to tie the hands of the incoming Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

While we find these reported last-minutes awards of contracts, withdrawals from treasury, sales of land and illegal recruitment of Senator Amosun’s cronies into senior positions of the Ogun State Civil Service very shocking, our party wishes to warn the members of the general public that such hurried transactions would not necessarily be binding on the incoming administration.

We urge Ogun State’s top senior civil servants not to be part of the desperate moves of the departing Governor to undermine the socio-economic stability of our State, by engaging in, condoning or being part of any act that breaches or constitute a flagrant abuse of laid-down rules, regulations and due process.

It is our belief, that an administration with less than two months to handover, should, by now, be preparing its handover notes for a smooth transition, instead of digging pits for the incoming government. May we also reiterate here that all loans, overdraft and financial obligations, that do not follow due process, including the approval of the Ogun State House of Assembly, would not be honoured.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

AGAINST THE SAVAGE ANTAGONISM AGAINST HER, TIWA SAVAGE RELEASES PICTURES OF HER NEW PRIVATE JET CAR

Mother of 1 and probably  Nigeria's most visible female artiste currently, in the person of her royal majesty, the distinguished Tiwa Savage has had a horrendous time of recent facing many darts from different angles and directions. Some are even saying it's probably a gang-up against her!

What 1st started a while ago with another super artist by name Yemi Alade when the 2 exchanged veiled insults, has now gone on the epic level with another artiste, this time around being Kenyan bombshell singer Victoria Kimani. But even has that is supposedly still on going, another top female artiste, the super talented Seyi Shay is said to have released her own veiled diss against Tiwa too, using the #fvckyouchallenge that has since gone multiple viral as her platform. What could Tiwa have done to deserve all these all out attack from all sides?

Victoria in her case, has been more than Savage with all that she's had to say about Tiwa in her recent unrelenting, no holds barred outburst. She's gone as far as insinuating so many terribly unpalatable things about the Mavin Records label 1st lady.

Just imagine another lady outting another insinuating that she's bedded loads of married men to get to where she is, as the queen in the throne presently as if talent is not enough! Savage !!!

The all out attack started with Victoria Kimani's version of the #fvckyouchallenge which was a no holds barred slamdunk, take down, pin fall of the most vicious kind. And it continued with Tiwa's response/slap back with the release of the pictures of her new maybe Rolls Royce or some unbelievable private jet kinda car on wheels badass machine.

So who next is coming after the adorable Tiwa?

THE INCOMPARABLE & UNCOMMON GENEROSITY OF ADEDEJI ADELEKE. DAVIDO'S FATHER.

Dr. Adedeji Adeleke 

Dr. Adedeji Adeleke & Son. Davido

It is a known fact. incontrovertible fact at that, that in the music or better still entertainment business, that DAVIDO'S generosity when it comes to the people around him and those who are lucky to come across him is incomparable & "legendary. That the young guy is probably one of Nigeria's wealthiest entertainers is also not in doubt too. Right now the young dude seems like a money minting machine. Some have even claimed that he probably sits on top of the pile as the numero uno, above Wizkid, D Banj, Don Jazzy etc. For you to understand how filthy rich the young man is, just imagine also that the legend as since grown about that supposed "30 billion in the account". Yeah the story now is that he has at least that 30 billion Naira in his account now. Can that be True from just music?

But it's not just about having the stack load of money alone, it's also about lifting up those around you, upgrading their lifestyles to a level, so much so that they also become the envy of all too. Davido is not averse to giving out Rolexes to all those around him at the drop of a hat, not to talk of buying all of them the latest phones, not to talk of upgrading their cars each to new ones that leaves the mouth agape in wonder. From what we have learnt, the dude's generosity knows no bounds. He can just wake up today and just surprise all comers with the unexpected. All the acts under his label we hear, all have one tale of wonder or the other to tell about their label boss.

But this actual story is not about the son-Davido though, it is more about the dad, Sir Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, the stupendously wealthy owner & chancellor of the Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State. What we have just tried to do first, is just to show that it is true, that certain things things only come from the DNA. Generosity or better still charity obviously runs deep in the DNA of these Father and his son combo.

From what we have found out about the legend of the father, no wonder the son too acts in tandem, showing that he is a true son of his father. Like it is said "the cub of a Lion can only behave true to type". According to the legend, Adedeji Adeleke not wanting to lose touch with or to be cut away from his friends who they all grew up together or who are his contemporaries had to intervene to make sure that all of the ones who were not actually up to scratch were lifted up too. He is said to have given each about 150m to build homes to their own tastes. In addition he bought them 2 SUVs each and then gave each cash of 10m to do whatever they want with. 

WHERE IS THIS GOOGLE-EYED BEAUTY CALLED TRACY NWAPA? SHE SEEM TO NOW AVOID PUBLIC VIEW LIKE A PLAGUE!

She is a dashing beauty, with eyes that can turn a devout eunuch of many years standing into a jelly with rubber legs, salivating with want and desires and wanting to break his vow of absistence.

Some have even claimed that she's one of Nigeria's top beauties, one who would rate very well, favorably amongst the most beautiful young Nigerians anywhere. Then to add to the whole paparazzi, she also has a body to die for, that's added generously to the whole mix.

So voluptuously excellent is she, that you can not but do a triple-take at anytime. Those frontal blessings are so impressive, that it was even speculated that she went at a point to either enlarge or reduce it, as it was getting all of the attention (an assertion that's not substantiated). Much as her beauty is an attraction, it is her brain that's rather astounding.

The young and very single lady, who is said to be filthy comfortable, that's daddy wise (with daddy's support) and also because, she's said to have added major value too via her works, tripling whatever support she might have gotten. Tracy is as brilliant as they come. Hers is what is called the perfect combo of beauty and the brain and both have since worked very well for her, as she's extraordinarily good at what she does. It is a known fact now, that she is an interior engineer of great repute, who has done loads of awesome jobs that always always speaks for her and very well too.

There was that time as was expected of a beautiful, young lady, who is a badass fashionista who was always at all the fun spots, lounges, clubs, parties etc mixing with her other exotic and happening friends and associates, generally having all of the fun in the world. SIP and Co, were their watering whole. But since after that avoidable fiasco of about 2 years now, where there was the fight that nearly turned ugly, with near exposures of gorgeous properties, that brought about loads of negative vibe and energy. In fact that it took the law enforcement agencies to curb then before it could turn uglier. Since then Tracy seem to have consciously cut off from the public view and receded or should we say recoiled unceremoniously into her safe, not necessarily excitable cocoon. All we hear now is how she's getting one great referrals after the other to execute some first class projects here and there.

Though she's not as much in the public view as much as before, but that has not taken from her, nor reduced her stupendously gorgeous style, which still propagates fiercely. Even the little glimpses of her that crosses our path, always takes our breath away.

So where has one of Nigeria's most eligible, most sort after bachelorette been hiding? And is this her new incognito mode/style deliberate? 

WHY SO MUCH HATRED FOR FATIMA AJIMOBI?

Mennnnnn some people are so unforgiving and it's so crazy, totally totally crazy!!!!! ! The kind of war that this young, married lady of just 25 years old by name Fatima Ajimobi new Ganduje has been fighting is unpretentiously unbelievable!

Why so much hate (hatred), anger towards someone that is seemingly innocent just for the perceived sins of the father? Who is the current Executive Governor of Kano State, who just recently won a 2nd term as Governor though according to many in seeming controversial circumstances, is a wonder.

Being her father's daughter (child), one who loves her dad and family to bits, one who sees her father in another light (pure light), different & away from the public perception of him, which she might consider contrary, wrong and untruthful. Don't people think if she can or could and if she has the platform to use that can get across to a large number of people, she would defend his honour and that of her family?

And so in doing what she thinks is right, then a whole lot of anonymouses, people wearing masks so that they cannot be identified for who they really are, are falling on her like a tempest, sweeping in like a terrible hurricane, wanting to leave bad news behind, these people have been unsparing and totally vicious towards Fatima with their super scathing comments and terrible remarks. Mennnnnn. Na wa ooooo.
