Lol that year, Mama Jamal was both the toast and the sauce. O ga ju

So sad. Such is the mystery and vicissitudes of life. May they continue to rest.

Mirasteel:
Unfortunately his parents aren't alive to witness his glory.

This one is chewing more than he can swallow. I think he needs to work harder so as not to remember his cobblerrr work.

Even Seyi Tinubu will be very ashamed for this kind of comment. Gross

helinues:
President Tinubu has already advised Nigerians to live within their means. If you can't afford the running of a car, sell it off

Lmao. Oyinlola, a Brigadier General rtd and Former Lagos State Military Administrator pre-1999,and local rich people in the same sentence? Tell me you are joking.

That they went to Iceland for the ceremony is for their personal reasons. John legend must have benefitted from their largesse one time or many times by playing at their private parties. Don't be deceived, that they went to Iceland doesn't make them Icelanders or Caucasians. They are Nigerians and they know how they run things in this same turf. So you probably saying Adenuga who doesn't make public appearance in close to a decade is from different planet? Cut me a slack bro. Their exposure doesn't take their DNA from them. What about the Indian Billionaire that celebrated the son's wedding in grand style, in their own culture and the whole world witnessed it .

Frugality is not for the very affluent. They spend money, build friendship with money, maintain same friendship with money flowing recklessly within their circle. , that you are not privy to their clique or engagement doesn't mean otherwise. The Bride's late Grandfather was the Governor of Lagos in '92, until their tenure was short lived by Military incursion in Government. Can you read between the lines? The Mega affluent folks don't eat money, they spend and recycle it within themselves, they also are in strict monopoly of political , investment top-tier patronage ; they also enjoy big time padi-padi elitist relationship. So basically anyone that is rarely so privileged to get in the mix will enjoy almost everything on a platter, and that's why I earlier called it a jackpot. Eazi is a big Star in Africa, that's some points, I believe has Masters in Engineering too ( some ace) but that's just it; He hit the Diamond mine, Eazily or not; I wouldn't know.

It is a no-brainer Egbon

HEAVEN4444:
bro the people you are describing are LOCAL rich people or SHOWOFFS who gift cars and houses. These are local people. First of all look at where they went to do the wedding ? Iceland. Secondly look at the picture ? It's EXTREMELYYYYY CLASSY people, the fact that John legend is in that party should tell you the class of people there. John legend is a very classy guy, number 3, not one single media outlet was aware.. I say all that to let you know these types of people don't go showing off giving houses or cars. These the type of people who will bring bouquet of flowers and Belgian chocolates and an expensive bottle of Chardonnay 😂😂😂😂. Bro, ote is not a Nigerianisedd man. The man and his wife live like white people. E get one woman wey throw expensive party for first bank, ote made sure that woman was fired .

Lie just full this one mouth. Same way he claimed people paid $15,000 to attend his USA concert. I tire for his hyperbolic character. Guy, who are you trying to impress with outrageous/inflated figure ?

Garbage in, Garbage out!/
Being clever by half ,asking Grok if Oduduwa came from Mecca. Why not ask objective question, like what's the root of Oduduwa in Yoruba history or at least mythology.

You people have started abi, I hope you will not cry too hard or accuse Yorubas of witchhunt when you get deserved clapbacks.

You are going nowhere with your high level sycophantic behavior. The USA don smell you from afar CP.

Lol

I was very curious and actually looking forward to see the before and after pics of the Child and the daughter. No pinshure, no believement Edakun...

He will definitely have the ear and contact of Aliko Dangote, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu and dozens of Tycoons who will now consider him as part of the elite family. He doesn't really need the Ote$ money, once he knows the right button to press among the several he can access. The affluent don't eat money, they use it to make and build friendship within their circle. He will not be much different from Davido once they start having kids & he is lucky to have a fulfilling marriage. I am sure he got Millions of $ as gift already from too many top shots.

Long time ago, I don't know how true it is but I heard during the Olagunsoye Oyinlola's prosperous tenure in Osun, his very beloved daughter, Bukky got married to a Son of a retired and late Permanent Secretary elsewhere (Not sure if he was a Federal PS or not) but the Gov's daughter was the cynosure of all eyes attracting so many gifts, favor and goodwill to the marriage including posh cars, and our foremost Billionaire $ Dangote gifted the then new couple a big duplex in the upscale area of Ikoyi. I am sure she got more than one ,in total. The luxury cars gifted them were so much that Brig Gen Oyinlola (rtd) had to beg donors to stop. They were overwhelmed.

Now compare Oyinlola ,though a sitting then, to Ote$ , then you should know he has :effortlessly' hit not just the gold mine but the diamond mine; at what cost, I do not know.

HEAVEN4444:
the only jackpot he won is in marrying a classy girl, nothing else. These rich people are not stupid. They have generational wealth that is kept in foundations so that one person from outside can never take it because they married into the family. Mr eazi will be lucky to see 1 naira of ote money. That wealth is created for the next 20 ote generation not for one scammer .

Yes, I believe you, from having a signee arrangement with Wiz to becoming a big name in the industry, with his unique sound but lazy type of music abi. He is indeed rich abi.

The truth is knowing and having contact with a Millionaire in $$ who is as well interested in you is a huge flex not to talk of being an in-law to Ote$, Dangote and big movers and shakers of the continent. Dey play.
He is a great guy but simply won a jackpot. That's the bottom line.

HEAVEN4444:
Mr eazi is a rich man on his own ooo. The man net worth is like 5 million dollars.

Okay Sir

Mirasteel:
He's a Nigerian with Nigerian/yoruba names, he carries his father's name. that's what you should know.

Impressive. This guy has changed his family's story forever. Fate has taken him to places his father might never have dreamt to be in 4 Lifetime.

God Abeg o

If i am not mistaken, according to Ghanaian culture, the Mother owns the child or have significant interest on the child. Nana Otedola, F$ is Ghanaian, same as Eazi's mom. That's should be some leverage for him, maybe...

Mirasteel:
Eazi is a Nigerian not Ghanaian.

Bobo finally hit the jackpot. Arguably the luckiest Ghanaian youth alive; he is made for life but I believe he must have passed and scaled several hurdles, even stealth undercover spies to be in the good book of the shrewd Billionaire. Femi Ote$ is not just a Billionaire but sleek one at that. He is also street-smart and what not?

Except Temi is too dear to him to refuse her anything she wishes because Eazi sometimes appear like a junkieee.... Sorry bro

Not one mention of ValuJet. I am sure they already got some publicity to leverage on. Good or bad, I don't know how it will pan out for them.

This life ehn, you can't be sure of the next second or minute. Imagine this heart wrenching news. The hardest part is that no one is immune from happening and occurrences such as this.

We only pray for grace to survive it and if or when it happens, there is almost anything anyone can do.

RIP Mother and Daughter...

Don't let me choke on my dinner abeg.

sirwilson:
Which kind talk be that one...

Sakamaje

These people understand Obi is malleable.

I know right but she is on the pathway and though I am not sure but she is legally staying in the UK, don't know if she owns a passport; if I am not wrong, that should be a leverage.

dominique:
I don't think it works that way, it's only their kids that can be automatic citizens. She will have to go through the same application process other migrants pass through to become a citizen which includes residing in the country for a minimum of 3 years or so. Even 2 of Trump wives Ivana and Melania did not become American citizens immediately marrying him, it took them years.

It happened in Abuja at Nnamdi Azikiwe domestic wing of the airport, he was trying to board the flight to Lagos.

Chubhie:
It's normal everyday behaviour in lagos. The pilot and passengers should thank their gods that they hastily left before agberos got wind of the drama.

Politics; the most lucrative venture in Nigeria

How many Billion Naira did you collect for the hatchet Job, Nafiu?/ Oh I almost forgot they pay in dollars..

Heeya!

You are big ,wealthy famous and influential already, Why do you have to intimidate people that are obviously not in your level. It's complex

I feel for him sha. He has huge ego and bad temperament. I believe Tinubu knows this very well, reason he has since been precluded from delving into mainstream(elective) politics. He is a great Fuji Musician nonetheless.

Portable dey Overdo, trying to make people forget the Keke episode.
Gutter pikin riding against the public wave; fastest way to become irrelevant. I Hope somebody tells him this on time if not...

Are you actually contemplating this? Godspeed Good luck in your endeavor.

wiseone28:
It's a good bill i may go Colombia next month

Wooow

El rufai is the 'enfant-terrible' of the Nigeria political space. A great administrator but he is not to be totally trusted by people on different divide.

Whatever prism you are looking this from is unhealthy. You can't deliberately open nairaland and create a subjective topic of human right without doing your research or reading up the character plus events that snowballed to this particular tasteless episode. especially when it was revealed by his Lawyer that his arm was broken during manhandling by the Police. Sowore is not just a random person, a former SUG President, Presidential candidate; though controversial but not a nonentity. He represents some interests too and he cannot be treated as a common criminal. If he is treated in such obnoxious way, I fear for you, I fear for myself especially most of us that hold fierce contrary views to how this country is run.

Apologies accepted but I personally believe you can't be unaware of circumstances preceding this event without being privy to this persona, a public figure; yet writing scathing remarks and opinion about him or his unfortunate ordeal. It defies logical reasoning.

Jakumo:
I sincerely apologize for my lack of insight in these legal matters, and for any offense this may cause to those more familiar with the implications of what you have described. That said, my view of Sowore as a [b]Rebel Without a Cause [/b]remains undiminished particularly now that he has busied himself hurling invective at BOTH the ruling party AND the opposition party leadership, among myriad other targets.

I fail to appreciate the logic that motivates such a combative attitude in a nation where the retribution of political power can manifest itself in ways that extend far beyond thosprviy pulated by jurisprudence of even the constitution.

An unruly element and representation of what some of the 'Lagos Boys' represents . Abrasive. Arrogant and Crass. A vivid example is what the uncouth Lege Miami represents...

That isn't just legal technicalities. It is a deliberate and calculated attempt by Tinubu to perpetuate himself in power using manipulation of Law (Legislation) plus the instrumentality of the police force thrusted on one of his henchmen; the IGP ,to perpetrate his sinister plot. I might not condone the excesses of Sowore but on this, the Police are clearly vindictive and out of line.

That you, an enlightened person is feigning ignorance to these details and trying to act dismissive is mischievous. You are only using your writing mastery for your paymasters to sway the feeble minds and those that cannot read between the lines.

I am miffed with your submission. You are only trying to paint a picture of not being aligned with any interest, which is clearly false.

Jakumo:
The legal technicalities of how senior police officers are assigned are none of my business in Nigeria or anywhere else, sir, so I didn't bother to read through the details you have kindly provided for those who feel it might be their business to evaluate. Nonetheless I thank you for responding to this opinion that I have written today, while I accept that there will be variability of perspective regarding the predicament Mr. Sowore is now facing due to his preoccupation with government policy.
