Barrister Tokunbo Wahab exudes the greatness of Zeus the most powerful Greek god and goddess. No doubt his life has been woven with success and perhaps maybe it’s because he is a man born under the proverbial lucky star more reason anything he touches turns into Gold. If TW as he is fondly called was a clairvoyant; he would have predicted what the future holds. During his formative years, he didn’t wait for his father’s deep pocket nor his mother’s pocket money to survive rather, he gave in to hard work, and consistency and carved a niche for himself which has moulded him to become the man he is today. Become Babajide Sanwoolu’s administration’s proverbial ‘Swizz Knife’ with his ability to perform in different capacities under intense pressure and also provide sterling results.

It’s almost impossible to hear anyone make adverse comments about him or his persona. Although he is human which makes him vulnerable to some mistakes but he is a near perfectionist who loves to do things with finicky and finesses like a copperplate writing style. If one thing the Lagos Special Adviser to the Governor on Education loathes with burning passion it’s the sight of those around him in distress; he is always ready to extend his warm helping hand to bring succour. This is one thing we gathered he imbibed from his parent who were opinion leaders and grassroots politicians in Epe.

While many of his clout and calibre would complain vehemently about tasks; he is ready for the challenges with pragmatic solutions. The real reason why education under Governor Sanwoolu took a new dimension. While many schools across the country were shut from academic activities; Wahab ensured schools were up and running as they ensured no break in transmission in the academic calendar. He has also been lauded for assisting Mr Governor on reforms in the education sector with the upgrade of Lagos State Polytechnic to a full fledge University of Technology and Micheal Otedola College of Primary Education and and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education as a University of Education among others.

When Wahab arrived on the 5th floor last year on the 17^th of May; he was super excited as many were ready to share in his joy to celebrate his 50^th birthday. His Banana Island, Ikoyi home was turned into a fun ground as two of the biggest Juju artists; King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey performed at his outdoor birthday shindig. The birthday boy in an elated mood danced like David danced as he showed appreciation to his creator. Those who attended could not stop commenting on the premium treatment they were given and the endless supply of the biggest French champagnes and Dublin-made 30-year-old limited edition whiskey like it’s going out of fashion. On Tuesday the 17^th of May as he celebrates his birthday it was devoid of fanfare but he rather used the moment to pray for his creator and also hosted a few family and friends to a small celebration. The cosmopolitan debonair’s effort in Govern Sanwoolu’s re-election and also overall performance earned him a space in the transition committee. He has remained a loyal poster boy who put the current Lagos administration on the map. Many wonder how at the age of 51 his accomplishment has remained unprecedented like that of 80 years of man but he is a man committed and loves to shoulder responsibility that’s why he has remained highflying in all he has ventured into.  

Weeks ago, a rumour filtered around town most especially on social media that Elegushi of Ikate land, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi’s wife Olori Sekinat Aramide Elegushi was seriously ill and was in a critical state as a result of an alleged botched Brazilian Butt Lift BBL surgery. The rumour went around and started to gain ground until the Elegushi palace released a statement to clear the rumour that the Olori is fine and not in any way sick which put the sickness rumour to an abrupt end. But it seems  Olori Sekinat’s detractors went back to their drawing table to re-strategise and struck again. This time, they went ahead and announced that the light-skinned mother of three had kicked the bucket. This further threw caution into the air as people started calling and visiting the Ikate Palace to show concern and solidarity with her family. Alas, they were shocked to see Olori Sekinat in her full glare looking regal and ravishing as usual in her calm demeanour wearing a charming smile welcoming those who came. This served as a sign of relief to those who are scared. The false alarm of her alleged demise was raised by one well-known social media bully and ‘Facebook Blogger’ Toluwalope Olowolagba known as ‘Abike Jagaban’ who started the rumour on her Facebook live where she announced that she has a breaking story with a grapevine source that confirmed to her that Olori has transited to the world beyond as a result of complications from a BBL surgery.

According to sources, Olori Sekinat was said to have embarked on a trip to visit one of her daughters who currently study in the United States which led to the rumour. For her well-wishers online, it took frantic effort from popular makeup artiste Banke Meshida Lawal to visit the Olori in her husband’s palace where she did a live video of the Olori to debunk the rumour from the pit of hell that she was alive, kicking with life this further made her fans and well-wishers more relaxed. The unscrupulous element that started the rumour on getting to know that she goofed went ahead to delete the live footage but many had screen recorded where she made the false and unverified claim. In other to evade arrest and justice we gathered that the social media bluff fleed into hiding in the United Kingdom where she called several influential kings in across Yoruba land to beg the Elegushi family that she was misled by someone close to the palace but we gathered that she is not new to such issues as her bag of controversy is never dry. “She is notorious for cyberstalking and cyberbullying. She was recently arrested for misinformation and also making disparaging and libellous comments online.” a source said. while she is being ignored by many, we gathered that the Elegushi family has promised to institute a case against her so as to teach her a lesson and also put a stop to her frequent insubordination online.

While the easy-going and affable Olori Sekinat has also been wondering why Abike will raise such a false alarm to mislead the public without confirmation many wondered why she would want her dead. According to close sources, she has been envious of Olori Sekinat’s magic wand as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, fashion connoisseur and wife of the revered monarch. “She does not like Olori Sekinat from day one and she has not hidden her disdain for her. Olori Sekinat has often avoided her in public places and does not want to be associated with such a character. Olori Sekinat is well-loved in and outside the kingdom. She has openly abused Olori made derogatory statements and casted aspersions on her person on her live videos but she keeps ignoring them and she is unperturbed. This time around she pushed her luck too far, she will pay dearly for wishing our Olori dead.”     

Billionaire Businesswoman and world-renowned Architect; Princess Fifi Ekanem Ejindu permeates Nigeria’s high society, like the proverbial breeze sweeping across fortune’s marsh and the spirited meadow. While boardroom giants and veterans of industry clutched at straws, on a steady free-fall to insignificance, The head Honcho of Building Support System has remained afloat staging an enviable ascent on the ladder of fortune. Her business as a building consultant and architect; who boast of world-class medieval and renaissance type design with a touch of modern designs with housing projects littered in and outside the shores of Nigeria shows she is indeed a shining light in construction space. Many would compare her to the fresh verdure of the field that leads the dancing Naiads through the dewy meads. Her astronomic rise, according to those close to her, is actually worthy of her exertions and diligence in her patient, steady march along the path of ambition and entrepreneurship. Despite not being an ostentatious person in nature but she is delectable, enviable, jovial, cosmopolitan, loving, caring and of all she radiates grandeur laced with sartorial elegance

While she enjoyed celebration all her life due to her originality and ability to break impeccable records living and thriving excellently in a male-dominated industry, The Starcrest Boss is down to earth as she believes all achievements were made possible by her creator more reason when she sauntered into age 60 last year she gave her creator all the glory. When many of her peers would have called praise singers and rolled out the drums in celebration mood to celebrate their birthday the graduate of Architecture from Pratt Institute School of Architecture, United States of America opted to keep it a very low-key affair where she evaluated her life and also look on ways to be a better person to serve humanity all her life. She opted for a very private celebration in a yacht sailing in the company of her close circle where she threw a small 60^th birthday bash. While many think things will change as she clocks age 61 today Sunday the 21^st of May; we gathered the Ibadan Born Awka-Ibom Woman will not celebrate amid fanfare rather she will use the occasion of her birthday for prayers and reach out to the needy. Despite working round the clock lately to deliver jaw-dropping state-of-the-art projects that will further cement her place as one of the best, she also wants to use the rest of her life to intensify her charity works, make an impact in the lives of humanity and serve her creator with much dedication. As she celebrates on Sunday, we gathered that friends and family who could not celebrate with her on her 60^thbirthday are planning to surprise the woman who loves celebrating others. Sources say; Princess Fifi will be using that opportunity to just give thanks cause it falls on a Sunday and she will also host a small parlour celebration for friends either at her Abuja or Akwa-Ibom residence.
