When you are wealthy and connected and sociable, throwing a party that would be in the mind and mouth of attendees for ages comes naturally to you. And it is going to be no less as one of Nigeria’s richest young entrepreneurs, Niyi Makanujola, the billionaire owner of Visionscape, celebrates his father, Chief Aderemi Makanjuola, the chairman of Caverton Group, who turns 70.
For Niyi, the 70th birthday party of his father, provides another auspicious occasion to spend a fraction, yet humongous, of his mammoth dosh. The high-octane party promises to be a wondrous one.
Yes, Niyi is not leaving anything to chance. After all, he doesn’t throw parties all the time. But today feast, sorry, celebration of life, would be of a different hue. It is his father’s 70th, a man he holds in the highest esteem and who put him on the path of business.
Of course, every guest would be given the royalty treatment; as they are going to be treated to the choicest brands of champagne; from the most expensive champagne, Armand de Brignac Brut Gold (Ace of Spades) to Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. Asides the expensive wines, cognacs and champagne, the guests would also be treated to sumptuous meals.
Conversely, by virtue of his enterprise and ingenuity, he is now a certified billionaire who has become better versed in the art of putting money to good use for the enjoyment and pampering of self and to the benefit and betterment of humanity.
However, the ‘birthday boy’, Chief Makanjuola, has overtime carved his niche in the business and social spaces, a magnate and entrepreneur of immense worth.
His place in the pantheon of Nigeria’s wealthiest and most successful businessmen undoubtedly assured by the impact of his earthly endeavours.
