Flamboyance, panache, flair, style, class, royalty and unrivaled ambience of serenity were some attributes that could best describe the grandeur atmosphere at the Rdisson Blu Hotel on Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island Lagos venue, when popular socialite and successful businessman, Akeem Oladele, played host to news makers in the country’s social circle to celebrate his 40th birthday.
The corporate all-suit gig was initially planned to be a small hangout with friends, but the influence of the former banker turned businessman in the social scene swayed many who heard about it to attend.
As the day wound down and the tone set for the sumptuous memorial dinner, the venue of the top socialite bash was gradually filled with obvious friends and well wishers of Koko, as he is fondly addressed in the social scene.
The very uninterrupted music was supplied by very talented Disk Jockey Humility, who did what he knows how to do best and it was never a dull moment.
The guests were all kitted in polished and expensive suit labels.
But little did the guests know that many other social crawlers would be in attendance.
A very high point of the event was when one of the guests at the high octane shindig proposed to his sweetheart.
Olaitan Fashola created another buzz when it was announced that there is another dimension to the event and he promptly knelt down before his fiancee who attended the event with him and the proposal was magical as the guests all cheered them up and clicked the camera.
Oladele was born on July 29, 1977 at Okesuna Shomolu, Lagos.
He got married to a super model, Jesutomiloba Victoria, who is the mother of his kids.
He is a very well successful businessman, who was formerly in the banking sector with over 14 years of practice before venturing into diverse businesses.
He is today the MD/CEO Oladele Golden Autos, Organic Bureau de Change and Lamardan Global Resources Limited, with interests in Oil and Gas.
Also, his bosom brother, Gbenga Oladele, an engineer of high repute, made sure that there was no hitch at the party as he played the role so well.
It was an overwhelming gathering of the cream de la cream of the society.
They included Faruk Ibrahim, Abbey Atilola, Gbenga Oladele (MD Bukums Ventures), Gbadebo Oyeyi (Chairman, Debosco Motors), Bisi Olaniyan of Farm House Hotels, Femi Alade, Ayo Somorin, Sudan Falawe who came in from the United States to perform at the event, Ayo Salami, Kunle Remi and David Oladele who came all the way from London with some social crawlers to celebrate with Oladele.
They were all treated to sumptuous meals and assorted drinks.
