Oba Adekeye, Lagori III Celebrates 10th Anniversary
The rustic and serene town of Joga Orile, Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun State was turned into a carnival of sorts on Friday, December 21, as Oba Adeyemi Olanrewaju Adekeye, Lagori III, the Abepa of Jogaland marked his 10th coronation anniversary.

Suru Ibeshe Gardens, Ikeja, Lagos, on December 11, 2012, by the Suru Group of Companies. The grand opening coincided with the company’s end of year party. Edward Akinlade, group managing director, Suru Group said, Suru Ibeshe Gardens was designed as part of the group’s corporate social responsibility to provide accommodation to people at affordable prices as housing has become a serious burden to many Nigerians.

Celebrating a Businessman at 70
It was a display of glamour, refined taste and colour, yet laced with some dose of piety. Indeed the 70th birthday bash of Olatunji Kolade Belo, a businessman, on December 15 at The Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, stretched the word grandiose to its full limit. Right from the rousing thanksgiving service that was held at the porch, overlooking the lagoon, it was clear to all that the celebration would be anything but ordinary. Not even the tastefully dressed guests, clad in various garbs that exhausted the rainbow colours, came close to eclipsing the mesmerising array of…
