Oil mogul, Aare Bashir Olawale Fakorede on Sunday staged one of the grandest wedding parties of the year so far, in faraway London for his first daughter, Moyosore, who got married to her lover, Olubanji Kalejaiye. It was the second leg of the marriage ceremony. They hosted the cream of both Lagos and London social circles at Fairmont Windsor Park, spoiling their guests silly with the best drinks and food that money can buy. Fuji music maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall aka K1 De Ultimate and Laolu Gbenjo were specially flown out to dish out songs from their repertoire to guests all glammed up in the chosen aso ebi and danced their hearts out as they celebrated with the Fakoredes.
To say that the occasion was a perfect owambe party held in London would be an understatement. It was reminiscent of the first led of the marriage ceremony which took place earlier in the year which is still being talked about till this day.
Some of the guests who made it to the party are, the Akinsiku of Lagos, Chief Adebola Dosunmu, acclaimed clergyman, Tobi Adegboyega, founder of London based Salvation Proclaimer Ministries Limited, also known as SPAC Nation. The bride’s parents are both respected and well-loved within the Lagos social circuit. They are known for hosting classy events.
The father of the bride started out in the oil industry with his flagship Bash Distinct Oil in 1996. He soon began to expand and grow into a formidable force owning chains of filling stations with Enyo Retail & Supply (ERS), a leading indigenous oil and gas distribution company with over 50 retail stations across Nigeria. After years of conquering the oil and gas sector, he later diversified his investments with 2B5M Limited Agricultural firm, High link Royal Castle Development Real Estate and Dredging Company. An easygoing dude who doesn’t like to speak much, he is the Aare Bobajoko of Ikate Elegushi.
