The multiple award winner during a chart with Omonaijablog has these to say concerning his latest moves. Excerpts.
Why do you want to go into hospitality and clubbing business?
You dont explain why you do things except that the things have been in you all the time.
Literarily I’ve always been in the Night Clubbing bussines for a very long time. I have a club which I ran for 5 years in Berlin called Mr Enimatic club.
All my fans and people who follow me must remember and know this club. My djs were playing deep house, dancehall and all the newest of pop culture. It was a large club that had 2 dance floors, where 2 Djs could play simultaneously from two different Dj pults.
The extraveganza there was the 9meter long bar and stage for live performances. It was in famous Berlin left Alternative quarters at Herrmann Street. After that I opened another club in the Eastern part of Germany which was called “Black Butlers gallery club” its great mark was made in good dance music, Arts and Live performance. Later I opend my 3rd Night club “High5 Club” in Bavaria State of Germany. In-between it, the “Smallest gallery Night club” also in Bavaria Germany.
Which locations are you looking at in sighting this business and why the choice of these locations?
We are running feasability at the moment and also started placing the formations for Abuja FCT after which Lagos will follow as Location.
Why the choice of these locations?
Though both Lagos and Abuja are the most trendy and up-beat spots in Nigeria for hospitality and show bussiness, both are still millions of miles far from saturation. For a Nation’s fun and recreation, there can never be enough Clubs and Spots. Just as Drips are never enough in fashion and style. So, we start from Abuja, then Lagos and other cities will now follow
What motivates you to want to do this.?
“Na Gbedu wey dey body”, as I have been doing this all the time. Aside being a business, it also creates fun and the much needed employment. I’m a dance and music man, with all the latest and best music ready at my finger tips. The clubbing experience I want to bring to Nigerians is that funk that grounds and keeps you like permanently happy and satisfied.
What were some of the modalities that you have put in place for the commencement of these projects?
We have progressed well. I would have loved to talk more on how far and when they will be ready, but for operational securities, every stage will be revealed when near finished and also the opening dates. We are looking at the second part and at the end of the year.
What were some of the projects you executed in recent times?
In recent times, it was art shows and events back to back while working and planning some monumental Art Scopes that will trend in the year 2025 and 2026.
Aside the establishment of this Night Club and Art Gallery, which other projects are you currently working on?
I’m working on the repatriation of all my works of 33 years in Europe back to Nigeria. A massive collection of about 800 Sculptures, hundreds of paintings, hundreds of thousands of drawings on paper, larger than Life-size Sculptures, installations and objects. A logistic feat that requires lots of money, time and expertise. This is my time of feeding and replenishing the African civilization after many of Africa’s cultural works were plundered, looted by force and carted away by European Colonizers.
What are your projections and expectations for 2024?
2024 is a thriving year. After the lockdown and the breakout of the Ukrainian/Russian/EuropeanAmerican war. 2024 is going to be a year where positive balance will be cashed by only those people/countries who create a new market for themselves and their trade. It is a year where trade will grow if products are offered at considrable prices. it is also a year where Art has to be interactive with several other aspects of life and style, creating a fluidity that enhances it’s monentary power to break even.

Miracles, Revival Mark Opening of Dominion City’s Night of Glory 2026
Miracles, Revival Mark Opening of Dominion City’s Night of Glory 2026
Lagos – The atmosphere was charged with faith, worship, and expectancy as Dominion City’s Global Camp Meeting 2026 entered its peak with the first day of the “Night of Glory,” drawing thousands of worshippers to Lagos and Enugu in a powerful display of spiritual revival.
Held at the Golden Heart Place, Ajah, Lagos, the Friday evening gathering marked a significant moment in the ongoing six-day conference themed “Redigging the Wells of Our Fathers.” Participants from across Nigeria and beyond converged both physically and online, united by a shared hunger for divine encounter and transformation.
From the outset, the meeting was characterised by intense worship sessions led by gospel ministers, creating an atmosphere many attendees described as “tangible with God’s presence.” The night quickly transitioned into sessions of fervent prayers, prophetic ministrations, and teachings centred on restoration, healing, and spiritual awakening.
Presiding over the meeting, Dr. David Ogbueli, founder of Dominion City, charged participants to reconnect with foundational truths and spiritual disciplines necessary for personal and societal transformation. He emphasised that the “Night of Glory” was designed as a moment of divine visitation where destinies could be reshaped.
“As we redig the wells of our fathers, we are reconnecting with ancient graces and covenant realities that produce undeniable results,” he declared.
As the night unfolded, several remarkable testimonies were shared, reinforcing the theme of supernatural intervention. Among them was the case of a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly delivered from a seven-year struggle with pornography addiction, an experience that drew emotional reactions from the congregation.
Other testimonies included reported healing from cancer, recovery from a severe skin infection attributed to spiritual affliction, the healing of a heart-related condition, and three years of a non-menstrual period. Attendees also recounted instances of restored hearing and sight, with individuals testifying to improvements from partial deafness and blindness, among others.
Fathers of faith present were Barrister Emeka Nwankpa, Pastor Yemi Ayodele, Rev. Pade Tokun, Apostle Gbenga Adegbenro, Rev. Mike Adegbile, and others. Other Ministers present, including Pastor Dr. Charles Ndifon, Pastor Randy Mitchell, Apostle Ikechukwu Nnajiofor, and others, reinforced messages of faith and the power of God to intervene in human situations. They encouraged worshippers to remain steadfast and receptive, noting that miracles often spring from an atmosphere of unwavering belief.
Beyond the miraculous, the gathering also underscored a broader call to moral and spiritual renewal. Church leaders reiterated the need for believers to embody values that can positively influence society, especially in a time of perceived moral decline.
The “Night of Glory” is part of the larger Global Camp Meeting, which began on April 1 and will run through April 6, featuring daily teachings, leadership sessions, and specialized programmes for youths and families.
Organisers say expectations remain high for the second night, with many believing that the wave of miracles and transformation witnessed on the first night is only the beginning.
For many attendees, however, the message was clear beyond the signs and wonders; the true essence of the gathering lies in a renewed commitment to live transformed lives and impact society. //END.//

Easter: Obasa Urges Christians To Embrace Hope, Unity, Renewal
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has congratulated Christian faithful in Lagos and across Nigeria on the celebration of Easter, urging them to draw strength from the lessons of Christ’s resurrection.
In his Easter message, released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dave Agboola, Obasa described the season as a reminder of victory over despair, renewal after trials, and the triumph of light over darkness. He noted that just as Christ overcame death, Nigeria can overcome its current challenges if citizens remain steadfast, prayerful, and committed to unity.
“Easter is a season of hope and renewal. As a nation, we face economic pressures and security concerns, but the resurrection teaches us that no situation is beyond redemption. Let us roll away the stones of division and despair, and work together for peace, justice, and prosperity,” the Speaker said.
He called on Lagosians to continue to show love and compassion to one another, stressing that collective effort is key to building a stronger Lagos and a better Nigeria.
Obasa prayed that the joy of Easter would fill homes with renewed faith and guide both leaders and citizens toward a brighter future.
