D’banj Floats A Fish Business In Nigeria by Nobody: 10:52pm On Dec 12, 2013
He has been criticised by Nigerians for choosing
Ghana for his cocoa business, Dapo Oyebanjo, a.k.a.
D’banj, has declared his intention to set up a fish
business in Nigeria.

The Kokomaster, as he is fondly called, said the
proposed fish business would be called Eja Nla
Fisheries Nig. Ltd( ‘Eja Nla’ is the Yoruba phrase for
Big Fish).

The business is expected to deal in catching,
processing and wholesale/retail of all kinds of fish.
The Afro-pop star was said to have boasted that he
had been contacted to be the official fish supplier at
Aso Rock.

Reports say the artiste has purchased three fish
trawlers and named them K-Switch, Kokoboat and
Jazzy.
News of D’banj’s visit to Ghana, a few months ago
where he was spotted in a cocoa farm, went viral on
the social media, with fans decrying his choice
location for investment.
“When will Nigerian politicians, businessmen and
celebrities ever learn their lessons? How can Skibanj
or Dbanj be taking a cocoa farm up in Ghana when
we have a cocoa industry suffering in Idanre, Ondo
state?” a fan said on Facebook.
“Is he saying he does not know the cocoa industries
in Yoruba land have all been taken over by
middlemen? Or he is not aware of the economic
importance of setting up a lucrative cocoa industry in
his country? God help us in this country,” lamented
another music buff.
D’banj is known for putting his hands into several
pies, but not many thought the showman could think
of agriculture for a business.
Apart from his Night Club, Koko Lounge, which
appears not to be trending any more, D’banj had also
owned a mobile phone, Kokomobile, which did not fly
either.

Industry watchers feel that the reason the artiste his
delving into agriculture, apart from the viability of
the occupation, is to rival his former label mate,
Michael Collins, a.k.a Don Jazzy, who was said to have
floated Marvin Energy, an Oil and Gas business with
his brother months ago.
Like Don Jazzy, Top of FormBottom of FormP-Square,
the popular Nigerian twin singers, have also gone
into oil business, complementing their earlier
investment in Real Estate.
Known for their spendthrift nature, this business
sense exhibited by these artistes has been praised
by fans who took the debate to various social
network platforms.

While many ascribed the business plight of these
music stars to undue rivalry among themselves,
others believe that the trend by this new crop of
singers is a backup to their singing careers, as some
artistes who are known to have trended in the past
are finding it difficult to live up to their usual
glamorous lifestyles.

I was told EJA means fish in yoruba. Is EJA-nla finally living up to the billing?
Nice one anyway.
