Sahara Boss, Tope Sonubi Celebrates Low Key 50th Birthday

exactly three months after a principal partner in Sahara Energy, Tonye Cole held Lagos spellbound with a 50th birthday celebration that people are still talking about, another Director of the oil company, Tope Sonubi also lighted up the Lagos scene some days ago as he threw a private party to also celebrate his golden age.

The Banana Island, Lagos home of the Sonubis was the location of the party where guests were thoroughly screened by stern looking security guards who were employed by the celebrant to maintain the private status of the gig.

A source that was present at the pool-party squealed to papermacheonline in a baffled gesture ‘these guys don’t know any recession, you need to see how much they spent’ that gave an insight to what guests witnessed at the party.

The party was handled by comedian, Koffi and planned by Ibidun Ighodalo’s Elizabeth R event management company

“Tunde Ednut earns $5,000 average per day, ISWIS made approx $200,000 from live events in one month” — Chude Jideonwo unveils creator economy data at Digital Creator Africa Summit
At the inaugural Digital Creator Africa Summit, media entrepreneur and #WithChude host Chude Jideonwo unveiled new data positioning the Nigerian creator economy as one of the most commercially powerful industries on the continent.
Highlighting explosive growth and overlooked business models, Jideonwo revealed that:
 • Tunde Ednut, the former musician turned Instagram media mogul, is estimated to earn over $5,000 a day through his platform — with a business model based on affiliate promotion, Instagram advertising, and music amplification.
 • The hit podcast “I Said What I Said” (ISWIS) reportedly made approximately $200,000 in gross revenue from live events alone in a single month, drawing thousands of fans across there US, the UK and Canada.
 • “What these numbers show,” Jideonwo said, “is that creators are no longer just influencers — they are media companies, and increasingly, nation-builders.”
The summit, held in Lagos and attended by creators, investors, and media leaders, was designed to shift the conversation from virality to value — reframing content creation as infrastructure, not just entertainment.
As part of his address, Jideonwo announced his $500,000 personal commitment to the FourthMainland Creator Fund — a catalytic investment vehicle to back high-potential African creators with funding, IP support, and platform distribution.
“We’re building the Mavin Records of storytelling,” he said. “Not just with fame, but with financial tools, ownership, and a full studio system that lets creators scale across the continent and diaspora.”
The Creator Fund is part of the broader FourthMainland ecosystem, a creator commerce platform set to launch in 2026. The platform will offer monetization tools, subscription infrastructure, and joint-IP models built around African content — positioning it as the first at-scale infrastructure for the continent’s growing $100B creator economy.
Jideonwo, whose ventures include Joy, Inc., #WithChude, and YNaija, closed with a call to funders and policymakers:
“If music had Mavin Records and tech had CcHub, then creators now have their studio systems — their Mavins — and they’re building billion-dollar value chains without waiting for permission.”
The keynote, titled “Overtaking is Allowed,” argued that Africa’s most important civic and cultural shifts today are being led by independent creators, and that media-tech infrastructure for creators is now one of the biggest opportunities for economic growth across the continent.

It was a weekend of glamour, joy and excitement as Lagos politician and businessman, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, tied the knot in faraway Qatar.

The destination wedding which took place at the Fairmont Hotel, Doha drew close friends, family and political associates, was nothing short of magical. With the exotic backdrop of Doha’s luxury setting, Jandor and his bride exchanged vows in an intimate but elegant ceremony that had the air of class, style and exclusivity.

Guests, many of whom jetted in from Lagos and Abuja, were treated to a blend of traditional Nigerian warmth and Middle Eastern splendour. From the lavish décor to the exquisite cuisine, it was an affair that reflected both cultures in perfect harmony.

For Jandor, who has continued to attract attention on the Lagos political scene, the wedding to his heartthrob, Bukola was a refreshing moment of happiness, away from the hustling pulse of politics. His bride, radiant in her flowing attire, was the toast of the evening, with cameras capturing every dazzling smile.

As the couple began their journey together, family and well-wishers showered them with prayers, gifts and best wishes. The event, insiders say, will be remembered for its intimacy, its class, and the joy it radiated across the circles of Lagos high society.

‘I want people to settle our fight, but…’ K1’s Lead Drummer,Ayanlowo Gives Condition For Reconciliation

K1’s lead talking drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo has listed the condition for him to reconcile with his boss, Wasiu Ayinde, the Mayegun of Yorubaland.

 

At his home in Felele, Ibadan in a private chat, the drummer in his request stated ‘I want them to settle our fight. I want them to call us together, he(Wasiu) should be God-fearing and state his part, while I should also be present to speak my mind. The elders should step in but God knows, I will never go back to him’.

 

When asked why he vowed never to go back, Ayanlowo replied, ‘he is vindictive, he never forgives and I’ve placed everything in the hands of God. I can never go back to the band”.

 

The lead drummer while confirming that some cleric leaders and traditional rulers have waded into the matter also said ‘part of my condition is that at any location they pick for the peace-meeting, if anything happens to me, I would hold the people that call for the meeting responsible and they’ve assured me nothing of sort would happen”.

 

He hinged his fears on the attack at his Felele, Ibadan home where his windows was shattered by people he believed to be loyalists of his boss.

 

‘I’ve worked with him for 32 years and now I want to be on my own, I’ve tried! They should just leave me in peace’, he begged.

 

Ayankunle had accused Wasiu  of providing a poor welfare package for his band members, which KWAM 1 has since denied and this has generated a lot of issues that called for the intervention of top monarch, the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Adeyeri who claimed to have instructed Ayankunle to stop posting videos or granting interviews.
