SALUTING THE BOSS OF ALL BOSSES-THE ONE & ONLY OTUNBA JIDE OMOKORE

The name Jide Omokore until recent times was not too known by many. Except you are one of the high-flyer in the very lucrative oil & gas sector, you might not have heard about the money bag who makes many sit up at his entrance. That he is a billionaire many times over is like saying fishes live inside water. From the little we have been able to dig about the father of Tosin, the young man whose high octane wedding is tomorrow in Dubai, the UAE, controls nothing less than 8 massive and very rich oil well. According to estimates, one of the lucrative oil well located in the Otorogun oil fields alone, rakes in nothing less than $12 Million dollars per day. Calculate that amount in Naira and you'll understand why Chief Omokore is the Chairman of Chairmen.

His first son's wedding tomorrow, Saturday, June 8, 2013 in Dubai is a clear statement that money has been conquered and since it's now a willing servant, it's been sent to work. The hotel chosen for the wedding is one of the most prestigious in a land where the word prestige is in capital letters. A 3-Star hotel in Dubai would rival many 5-Star hotels in many parts of the world. So you must understand that for JW Marriott to have been chosen for the wedding, they must have met exacting criteria. Not less than 200 rooms was booked for this wedding, plus the hall and other services that they would be rendering. Like we had earlier informed, for avoidance of any doubt and to make sure everything was 7-star, 'CASH money' was paid for the booking and that amounted to like a Million dollars, conservatively put that would amount to #155 Million Naira alone. That is not inclusive of many other expenses. For the man, who we hear has 4 private jets at his beck and call, that surely must be coins. Unconfirmed reports says he might have a bit of interest in VistaJet.

We are still wondering how come, the normally very well respected authority on the rich & famous- Forbes Magazine has not rated this man as one of Nigeria's top 10 richest people. One of his business partners known to all as Mr. Kola Aluko, is unarguably one of Nigeria's richest men by any standards one wants to use to judge it. The amount we hear that has been spent on this wedding is too staggering to mention and from what we hear it makes all other weddings in this class look like a child's play or better still like a bachelor's eve party. 

Come Saturday, June, 8, 2013, Oluwatosin Omokore, the very 'lucky' first son of the Otunba would be taking as wife is 40 plus sweetheart of inestimable value- Faizer AbdulKadri-Fari, the daughter of Ambassador Abdulkadri-Fari, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Resources at a ceremony where many who-is-who would witnessing. Some are speculating that the President himself, His Excellency, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan if not too busy, might grace the occasion, also expected to stop-over at the wedding ceremony is the Honourable Minister for Petroleum, Mrs. Diezanni Allison-Madueke, another big time guest expected is Mr. Kola Aluko and very many more. 

At the airport in Lagos on Wednesday some of those we saw boarding Emirate Airline flights going for the Hajj , but most likely stopping over at the wedding were his Excellency, the Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, who we saw with Ibadan based Multi-millionaire Alhaji Arisekola Alao. We also saw Otunba Lai Oriwo, on that same Wednesday with 2 friends in tow heading to Dubai, also said to have left are the Publisher of ThisDay Newspaper, Prince Nduka Obaigbena & Deoye Austen-Peters of Austen Energy. 

As we speak Dubai is said to be buzzing. 

For many who might not know, Otunba Jide Omokore is one of the biggest players in the oil and gas industry and also a global player in other business ventures. He is the Chairman of Energy Resources Group, the holding company for many first rate subsidiaries like SPOG Petrochemicals, Fivatek Nigeria Limited, Energy Resources Limited, Millennium Oil & Gas Limited, Mituchi Investment Limited, Camwood Dredging Limited, Bestway Properties Limited, Cedar Engineering Nigeria Limited and several other companies. This Group's annual revenue according to Forbes is in excess of $400 Million Dollars. His company is one of the only few allowed to lift crude oil now, from what we hear. One very common thing we have also heard about the great man of means is his uncommon generosity. He is said to have helped countless numbers of people.

A testament to his avowed generosity was a $2 Million dollars bail out, he was said to have given a 'very well known figure' very recently, when the said personality had financial quagmire and needed the quick fix.
