whooo........ok. i'm good now. second thing. there are very specific moments where I just love my job. I've only been working for a few months but i've gotten to meet and interact with a few peeps. Relatively cool peeps anyway. Mrs. Remi Tinubu, First Lady of Lagos for one, quite unexpectedly, inspired me, i first met her a few months ago and she threw me with how much poise she has. Job is cool people, job is cool.
Ok to da main event....(drumroll please - for me sista abeg just do it!)..............
ok, it's a bit dark but i'll try and lighten it up and repost tomorrow.....but yup, i was at the King Sunny Ade birthday dinner yesterday. I was very excited and it was beyond my dreams. I didn't realize how much I myself loved KSA until he was right there in front of me. And you start thinking, "man, this man wrote and sang all those lovely songs....man, this man is GENIUS, and he's nigerian..." it was amazing. I felt really really proud to be a Nigerian then. The event was organized by Special Events which is owned and operated by this young girl, maybe about 26/27 and she did really well for herself. It was attended by the First Lady of Lagos State Remi Tinubu (have i said how much i love this lady?!?!?), the Oba of Lagos and a few other Obas, Florence Ita Giwa, Jimoh Ibrahim, Dr. Kuku, and i'm sure a few other big girls and boys that for the life of me I wouldn't know about. When Jimoh Ibrahim came in and there was a huge rush of people, I was so clueless!!! Man..........these guys must really wonder where the hell I dropped from. For those who don't know, Jimoh Ibrahim owns Eko Hotel, Nicon Airways and some other things I can't remember right now.
Anyhoo...........I sha felt blessed to be there, just hope none of my pics end up in City People...(that's my fervent hope and prayer these days!)

jimoh ibrahim owns Global fleet (an oil marketing company) they own loads of oil filling stations..and he just acquired NICON insurance not NICON AIRWAYS...and i believe he wons MEIDAN HOTELS in VGC.not EKO HOTELS..only if thats a recent acquisition i dont know....
Wow aren't u lucky! I loveeeee KSA alot.The man seems to get finer as he ages!
bibi - thanks. I believe he part owns Nicon Airways, actually i'm thinking he part owns the NICON name. He recently bidded for some hotel in Abuja and was saying he's going to call it NICON something. Yes, I know he owns Meidan but i think he owns Eko as well. ah well...........the man is stinking rich either way!
