….Still on the Politics of Old Boys
association
There was no
man that maximized the opportunity to bring “Old Boys” under same roof like
Grooms’ father Omo-Oba Sunmade Babajimi Akin-Olugbade.
The very humble Owu
Prince practically brought an entire conglomerate of his old school mates right
from St.
Jude Primary School, Ebute Meta and Kings College, Lagos down
to Ibadan
Grammar school, in Oyo state and Obafemi Awolowo University, Osun
State to his son’s wedding event. One of such unique personalities was Captain Abayomi Jones, a former MD of
the defunct Nigerian Airways who came with his wife. Captain Jones and Prince
Sunmade Akin-Olugabde both attended St. Jude Primary School, Ebute Meta. Likewise Etisalat Founder and Chairman, Keem Bello Osagie who turned up for the
Federal Palace Hotel Reception is also an old boy with Prince Sunmade Akin-Olugbade and his younger brother, Aare (Dr.)Bolu Akin-Olugbade at King’s
College,
Lagos. He is presently the National President of the King’s College Old Student association. In the house was also Professor and Mrs. Charles Aworh who is the first president of the Ibadan
Grammar School old boys Association. He is presently a senior
consulting professor at the University of Ibadan.

New tricks of escaping out of an
event by Femi Pedro
event by Femi Pedro
Former
Deputy Governor of Lagos, Otunba Femi Pedro of course is a
real politician. The man who has successfully cross-carpeted from the entire
major political parties in Lagos name it; PDP, LP, A.C.N down to APC is one man
who has learnt how to be a good politician than a good banker. He was at the
event live. But when he it was time for him to leave in the evening, Brother
Pedro shocked closed observers as he called a young man from the crowd. A total
stranger and told him to hold his bag for him and move ahead of him as he
prepares to stand. Although the former Number
2 man in Lagos closely followed the young man holding his bag as he meandered
through the crowd, greeting guests, fans and well-wishers and throwing banters
on his way out. In as much as he was doing that, he equally ensued the young
man didn’t move faster than him as he kept yelling “Die, die” (small, small) at the young man who was a distance from
him. At last he was able to get out of the hall as his driver brought his car
to a stand still beside him; he collected the bag from the young chap and
dashed the young man a token of N500 naira for a job well done. Although the
new crisp notes of N100 naira (5) had one already thorn to shreds making the
entire money to come to N400 but that is what Oga Pedro has chosen to give out, all hail the ex-banker turned
political strategist?

Lagos Big Boy Olabode Great made exploits
He is one of
the happening guys on the Lagos mainland side, this young entrepreneur and
business man who has his surname as “Great” was really great at the

making sure that they were in good stead and never lacked anything to eat or
drink. His name is Olamide Olabode Great;
he came with his beautiful wife, Ibironke Olabode Great who equally made her quota to the

him were some of his executives from SIAO,
a private business concern he co-run with other top Nigerians. Although wild
rumors were still flying about Pastor Itua Ighodalo’s marital state with his
wife who have been out of circulation in the last six months but the rigors of
such rumors seems not to be documented on his face as he threw banters with
many top guests before he exited in grand style. Can someone shout Ituah!

And the groom’s family won by 2:1
To show how big they are in Nigeria and the entire Yoruba
land, the Akin-Olugbade family of Owu

down to Lagos on Easter Monday for the white wedding of their son, Segun
Akin-Olugbade to Dr. Robert’s daughter, Princess. They are the Alake of Egba-land, Oba (Dr.) Adedotun Gbadebo (Okukenu IV)
and the Olowu of Owu kingdom, Oba (Dr.)
Gboyega Dosunmu (Amororo II). The two paramount kings stole the show while

who brought the entire royal league from Ondo state to Lagos represented
bride’s father, Dr. Seyi Roberts.
For now, The Akin-Olugbade family of Owu kingdom is leading by a simple 2 to 1 against the Seyi Roberst family of Ondo
