As he celebrated his 45th birthday cum 11th coronation anniversary last weekend, everybody shared in his pot full of joy. At the birthday soiree held in his honour at the jaw-dropping sprawling palatial Multi-Million Naira ‘Monarch Event Center’ owned by the Royal Family, the guest was quite enormous as many royals, captains of industries, business czars, top socialites and billionaires were in attendance. To say the truth it was a jam-packed venue that those who attended would never forget in a hurry how they were feted with the good things of life. There was an endless supply of the very best of High-cost wines and champagnes. The meals went both continental and local as the meals we as tasty beyond imagination.

At a point, the Birthday soiree turned into a mini-concert, with Davido, DJ Spinnal, Patoranking, Naira Marley, Fireboy, CDQ & Lil Kesh all in their elements as they performed to thrill the audience, who were eagerly singing along to the many hits and shuffling their feet and moving their bodies to the cool rhythm. Veentage Band never failed to display their exceptional rendition prowess. Ace Comedian; Gbenga Adeyinka also dazzled the audience as the compere of the highly attended birthday dinner. The Celebrant decked in a Blue Tuxedo suit look sharp and cosmopolitan took to the dance floor displaying his dancing dexterity like the biblical King David who danced to the delight of his creator.

Apart from the pomp and allure displayed by many at the soiree, Olori Gushi II; Olori Hadiza Yakasai Elegushi could not go unnoticed. A sight of her brings the redolent memory of the popular Cinderella character known for its archetypal beauty. The Stylish Olori was the cynosure of all eyes as she was looking elegant and bright like a well-polished diamond. Fitted in a White laced with Pink flower-patterned flowing gown with a white headgear, the attire sat well on her so much like she was conceived with it. When she sauntered into the hall in the company of her friends, the paparazzi camera kept shuttering to catch a glimpse of her fashion mixture. To the amazement of many, she also rocked the popular ‘Judith Leiber clutch’ Multimillion Naira bag to compliment her ravishing look. Her looks were made in heaven as she also wore a charming smile moving from the table to greet those who came to honour her husband.

Sources say; With the current exchange rate of N480 to a dollar, the Judith Leiber Clutch Bag would be worth around 3Million Naira that is over roughly 6,000 USD depending on the store she got it from. “It comes in different designs and it could be costlier when its laced with precious stones which might cost around 10,000 Dollars or 5Million Naira. Olori Hadiza loves the good thing of life. If you see her jewelry chest, you would be amazed. It’s worth Millions of Dollars. She has an eye for fashion long before she married and now that she is married to a stylish king, her flair for fashion has doubled.”

Former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege Quiet 61st Birthday celebration

Published

By

 The immediate past Deputy President of the Senate and All Progressives Congress APC candidate at the last Delta State guber election; Senator Ovie Omo-Agege CFR, was very vocal in the 9th Senate where he sponsored life-changing bills and made landmark achievements. He came into prominence when he was alleged to have invaded the senate chamber with thugs while he ran away with the mace at the 8th senate, but he long debunked it; stating he knows nothing about what happened. 
 When he was the deputy president of the senate, his birthdays were met with a roller coaster of gifts, advertorials, calls, text messages, and social media posts. High-profile individuals, captains of industries, political stakeholders and favour seekers throng to his Abuja and Delta home to pay homage and share in his pot full of joy but his birthday this year, was devoid of such opulence he got while in office. We also gathered that; While he was in office, he empowered many people in his capacity to make life easy for those around him. He was a man with a large heart and also went all out to ensure people around him were sorted but only a few of them remembered his birthday.
 At his Abuja home on the 3rd of August, his 61st birthday was quiet as only a few people celebrated with him and his family. Favour seekers and friends have deserted him. The benefit he enjoyed while in office was no longer accorded to him as he celebrated his 61st birthday at his Abuja residence with few friends, former aides and his wife Rosemary. Flipping through the newspapers, only a handful of advertorials were placed on his behalf. He seems unperturbed as he made sure he enjoyed his birthday with the few people who came to his house while he had the birthday toast to long life done by Delta State former Governor, James Ibori’s daughter, Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu who is also the Chairman House Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC.

Abdulsamad Rabiu
 
Forbes-rated billionaire business magnate; Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu founder of BUA groups is synonymous with that proverbial tsunami hovering around the business firmament, changing business narratives and causing disruption worldwide. His achievements are unrivalled and impeccable that a toddler can even speak of his giant strides to put Nigeria on the world map. While growing up, he learnt the ABC of doing business from his Old Money bag father Alhaji Isyaku Rabiu, and one thing he learnt which he has inculcated in his dealings is; truthfulness, integrity, prudence, Fidelity and the ability to play by the rules not beating the rules.
 If you wonder how he was able to maintain a stellar performance on and off business, adhering strictly to the rules has made him rise above all his competitors. Over the years, He has lost billions of dollars trying to remain upright and truthful at a time when many of his peers have exploited the venerability of their numerous customers. Abdulsamad would rather bear the loss than inflict pain on his customers. On several occasions, some of his competitors often fight him for not increasing the prices of his commodities at peak periods. He has been dragged on several mediums, blackmailed but he would rather do things that will be of massive favour to the general masses who are struggling in times of the biting economy.
 The BUA group boss sees wealth as God-given, he believes no amount of wealth you have if you are not generous and considerate of the less privileged, the wealth is nothing but absurdity and frivolity that has no impact. That’s why he has over the years invested in generous giving and dangerous philanthropy. In Nigeria of today; no businessman has given more than him. He has crested his name in the hearts of many as one of the biggest philanthropists to ever emerge from Nigeria. His bogus donation to fund research and education across Africa through its yearly $100 million ASR Africa Fund for Social Development.
For a man whose business is tied around sharing prosperity among people and creating healthy competition among competitors, he has never for once amassed wealth illegitimately. He has invested in key areas of the economy and is also known for sharing prosperity with his business magic wand. As of today, he is regarded as one of the biggest investors in the Nigerian economy with business interests in real estate, sugar, cement, oil and gas among other business chains tied to him.
 Last weekend the business colossus celebrated his 64th birthday with no fanfare. He opted to make it a private celebration where he needed to display wealth due to the current economic situation in the country when many Nigerians are finding it hard to eat due to the dwindling global economy. Abdulsamad who would have hosted his friends to an elaborate party but opted to offer prayers to his creator, hosted his children and grandchildren. He is one of the few people who believes that Nigeria will have a great turnaround in the current dispensation more reason he is investing heavily to ensure economic prosperity for the country.
