OGB4IG 📌

Trivia: Back in the day, my company had a unit offering concierge services and stretch Cadillac limousines and Rolls Royce Phantom Rentals. If you were familiar with the streets you’d have noticed the limos parked on two spots along the Lekki Expressway, Phase 1, and Ikate. The Caddy and Phantom had a permanent parking opposite the Silverbird Galleria. Weddings and special occasions weren’t complete back then without a limo for the celebrant.

Visibility and Viral trends were done differently. 
I Used to pull up at occasions, of course with my angels and homies, and we had guaranteed parking at the entrance of any event (where else would you park a limo, right?)

Then take your time, sip a little bubbly, puff a little ish, and then step out, stress on flick, to the eagerly waiting click click, and flashes of the cameras, and audio recorders and mics thrust in your face. 

Performance Time. 

The next day your pictures, accompanied by the gossip spin of the day, will appear on the entertainment cover of all the soft self magazines, (Prime People, Vintage People, Encomium, Hints, etc), shipped overnight to different parts of the country and the west of Africa. These days, this phenomenon is known as Trending 😜

You got to be intentional with these things. 
That’s how we inspired the generations coming behind and gave them creative liberty to soar.

Of course, soft sell magazines, like limos, Mtel, nought nine nought (090)lines and bulky Thuraya phones, will eventually get buried under the weight of innovation. The limo business went bust. I lost my principal partner to a terrible accident (story for another day). 

But the future belongs to those who adapt, and embrace the change.

And because we adapt, We been running these streets a long time…

What was your favorite gossip magazine back then?

I know some of you were addicted to ‘Dauda the Sexy Guy.” 😂 Identify yourselves!

Love ❤️
