many thought she was a guest of the groom’s father Senator Simon Ajibola as
a result of party affiliations but it was later discovered that Chief Mrs.
Aduke Maina was indeed Princess Rose Osipitan’s intimate
friend of close to thirty years. Sources close to the two hinted us that back
in the days when Princess Rose Osipitan was into haulage business, Maina
was into interior décor business until years later when she joined
politics while Osipitan remained in business. Today, both are still strong
friends and it radiated in their excitement at the occasion.

is your happiest day, today shouldn’t be your happiest day because we are still
going to have more happy days and one of such is the day you will have your
child and start to bear more; the day you will build your house and the day you
will do so many other great things in life. I pray that today will not be your
only happiest day in life as we wish to see more happy days in your lives” the

approach Nike but he Mustapha soon advised him to move
closer and break the fear. He said “I noticed they looked alike so I told him
to just approach her which he did and that was how it started. I never knew I
have planted a seed. Today, that seed has germinated and we are all cashing the
good crop. They met at Sweet Sensation and since that

happy for the two and I pray that they will always live in peace and harmony”

of honor to Senator Simon Sule Ajibola for being an extra ordinary grass
root leader of repute, enjoining him to contest for the 2015 election. The leader of the group Dr. Kamal Odam described
the Senator from Kwara South as an embodiment of humility and the great agent
of change Kwara people seeks in a long time. “The Senator is an embodiment of
change, he is an epitome of freedom for our people and that is the reason we
took the pain to travel down to Lagos to honor him on an occasion like this. We
don’t want him to rest on his oars; we want him to kindly move up in 2015 and
become our number one citizen. Not for anything else but to liberate our people
from bondage and put Kwara in the best stead among the comity of states in
Nigeria” the tall, lanky and amiable Dr. Kamal Odam told this blog.

Ilorin Singer,
Onile-Aje brought the roof down.
He seems to
be a very famous local entertainer from Ilorin and that is what Femi
Onile-Aje is to his people as he proved it at the Senator Ajibola and Princess
Rose Osipitan children nuptials, when he took over the stage, the entire
crowd of politicians from Kwara, both members of the Sweet Sisters from Kwara; over thirty of them and other young
people who came to honor Senator Simon Ajibola moved to the
stage to dance to his local songs. But one number that really caught people’s
interest and made many to laugh heartily in the hall is the one where he sang “O larun Opolo, On fe Itoju nla (2ce) Eni to
n se Power, power, to tun se Gbale,
Gbale, o larun opolo” (He is mental, he needs medical attention, he or she
who is shouting power, power (PDP) and equally sweeping the floor at the same
time (APC) has mental problem). Those who understood the meaning of the song
never stopped laughing and dancing to the rhythm. His was a very big relief of a sort for the
PDP politicians who saw his song as a way of taunting their opposition-APC
counterparts.
