Ibadan, most importantly running one of the most patronized clubs?
Owning a popular club in Ibadan
automatically makes you famous. I will say it is something good that comes with
the business, because popularity brings more patronage and I am in this for business.

So how have you been enjoying the fame that comes with
owning a club?

I have been enjoying it, because my club is my basic way of life, so I have
been enjoying it.
You frequent United Kingdom, what’s the difference between

To be honest when it comes to western
world or even in Lagos. There’s no way you can compare the two with the life in
Ibadan. Though Ibadan is improving. I am one of the people that started the club
business in Ibadan, I started 6 years ago and there has been a big improvement.
We are growing and the people of Ibadan are gradually accepting the new night
life in Ibadan.

The most important thing in life
is that, if you are a married man and you are lucky to marry your destined
wife, you will have no problem. I thank God for giving me my own wife. Girls
flocking around me have not really been an issue between us. My marriage and my
business are working perfectly fine.

How did you come about owning a club? You didn’t study
anything relating to it, did you?
anything relating to it, did you?
Right from my secondary school
days, I have always loved social life. I was very social. It’s a game I really
understand. When I was in the university I was a club chief, so I would say it’s
an inbuilt thing, it’s something I have loved. So it was very easy for me to go
into it.
