King Saheed Osupa Secures ₦2bn Landmark Guarantee Deal with Harmony Gardens to Boost Fans’ Homeownership
King Saheed Osupa Secures ₦2bn Landmark Guarantee Deal with Harmony Gardens to Boost Fans’ Homeownership
By: Gbolahan Adetayo
Legendary Fuji music icon and cultural ambassador, King Saheed Osupa, has taken a bold step beyond music by venturing into real estate empowerment for his fans, as he officially acquires 50 hectares of land from Harmony Gardens & Estate Development Ltd to develop a new residential estate in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.
The estate, to be known as Osupa Boulevard, will be located within Harmony Casa 2.0, one of the fast-rising property corridors in Ibeju-Lekki. The project is designed to deliver 300 homes and plots of land to fans and subscribers under a flexible ownership structure made possible through a strategic partnership with the Ibile Traditional Mortgage System.
Industry observers have described the move as one of the most ambitious celebrity-led real estate initiatives in Nigeria, particularly at a time when demand for land and property for sale in Ibeju-Lekki continues to rise due to massive infrastructural development, proximity to the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Dangote Refinery, and other economic hubs.
According to information made available, King Saheed Osupa committed a ₦2 billion down payment as a payment guarantee on behalf of his fans. This guarantees immediate allocation by Harmony Gardens to subscribers of Osupa Boulevard once they make their initial deposit. Under the arrangement, fans can secure land with an initial payment of ₦5 million, commence building immediately, and spread the balance over three to six months.
The initiative is aimed at making land ownership in Ibeju-Lekki more accessible to musicians, creatives, and fans who may ordinarily find it difficult to navigate the real estate market independently.
In addition to land sales, the Fuji star also entered into a second agreement with Harmony Gardens to accommodate subscribers who prefer ready-built homes instead of plots of land. Under this option, buyers can purchase completed houses within the estate and spread payments conveniently over a five-year period, further lowering the barrier to homeownership.
Real estate analysts say the model blends celebrity influence, mortgage-backed guarantees, and flexible payment structures, a combination rarely seen at this scale in Nigeria’s property market.
In an official statement released on his Instagram page, King Saheed Osupa confirmed the partnership and explained the motivation behind the initiative.
“I’m proud to officially announce my wonderful partnership with Ibile Traditional Mortgage syy to bring you unprecedented opportunities in real estate investment. For the next six months, my fans worldwide can access massive, exclusive discounts on prime lands and properties in premium locations in Lagos and its environs, featuring the prestigious New Osupa Boulevard development at Harmony Garden and Estate Development Ltd. This is more than just a deal; it’s your gateway to building lasting wealth and securing your future,” he stated.
He further encouraged fans and investors not to miss the opportunity, describing the project as both a legacy and an investment.
“Don’t miss this limited-time opportunity to own a piece of legacy at unbeatable prices. Together, we’re turning dreams into reality, seize this opportunity now and join me on the path to success,” the music icon added.
Harmony Garden & Estate Development Ltd, known for major developments across Lagos, welcomed the partnership, noting that Osupa Boulevard aligns with its mission of expanding access to affordable land and property sales in Ibeju-Lekki while maintaining quality infrastructure and title security.
With rising interest in land for sale in Ibeju-Lekki, property experts believe Osupa Boulevard could become one of the most talked-about estates in the Lekki corridor, especially given the credibility of Ibile Traditional Mortgage System and the cultural influence of King Saheed Osupa.
As Lagos continues to expand eastward, projects like Osupa Boulevard are expected to play a key role in shaping residential growth, offering Nigerians an opportunity to combine cultural pride with long-term property investment in one of the state’s most promising real estate destinations.

Beyond Borders and Bloodlines: How King Misuzulu’s Call Rekindles Southern Africa’s Shared African Heritage
Beyond Borders and Bloodlines: How King Misuzulu’s Call Rekindles Southern Africa’s Shared African Heritage.
By George Omagbemi Sylvester
Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com
“From Isandlwana to KoBulawayo, the Zulu monarch’s message of UNITY, HISTORY and COOPERATION offers a powerful antidote to xenophobia and fractured African solidarity.”
At a time when social tensions, economic anxieties and rising xenophobic sentiments threaten the fragile fabric of South African society, the voice of history spoke with rare clarity at Isandlwana. Addressing hundreds during the commemoration of the historic Battle of Isandlwana in KwaZulu-Natal, His Majesty King Misuzulu kaZwelithini issued a timely and profound call: a call for renewed ties, mutual respect and deeper collaboration between the Zulu nation and neighboring African countries, particularly Zimbabwe.
The monarch’s remarks were not ceremonial rhetoric. They were grounded in deep historical truths that predate colonial borders and modern nation-states. By invoking KoBulawayo (present-day Bulawayo in Zimbabwe) King Misuzulu reminded his audience that African history did not begin with European cartography, nor was it confined by artificial borders drawn in distant colonial capitals. Rather, Southern Africa has long been bound together by shared ancestry, migration, culture and struggle.
Isandlwana: A Battlefield of Memory and Meaning. The choice of Isandlwana was itself symbolic. The Battle of Isandlwana (1879) stands as one of Africa’s most significant military victories against British imperial forces. It was a moment when African unity, strategy and resolve disrupted the myth of European invincibility. To speak of unity and cooperation at such a site was to anchor contemporary challenges in a history of resistance, dignity and self-determination.
According to renowned historian Prof. Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni, “African historical memory is a powerful resource. When leaders invoke it responsibly, they remind people that division is not our natural state, fragmentation was imposed.” King Misuzulu’s address did precisely that: it reactivated historical consciousness as a tool for healing present fractures.
KoBulawayo and the Zulu–Ndebele Connection. Central to the king’s message was the reference to KoBulawayo, the historical heartland of the Ndebele people in Zimbabwe. The Ndebele nation traces its origins to Mzilikazi kaMashobana, a former Zulu general under King Shaka who later established a powerful kingdom north of the Limpopo in the early nineteenth century. Bulawayo itself derives from a Ndebele term meaning “the place of slaughter”, reflecting the military traditions that shaped the state.
This historical reality underscores an uncomfortable but necessary truth: many African communities today labeled as “foreign” are, in fact, kin separated by colonial borders. As Nigerian historian Prof. Toyin Falola has argued, “The African continent is not a mosaic of strangers; it is a continuum of peoples whose identities were violently fragmented by colonialism.”
King Misuzulu’s reminder that Zulu–Zimbabwean relations date back centuries was therefore not sentimental nostalgia though it was factual, historical and deeply political in the most constructive sense of the word.
Xenophobia and the Crisis of African Brotherhood. The king’s address also confronted contemporary realities. South Africa has in recent years witnessed troubling episodes of violence and hostility toward foreign nationals, many of whom are Africans fleeing economic collapse, political instability or conflict in their home countries. These tensions, often fueled by unemployment and inequality, have eroded the ideals of Pan-Africanism that once animated liberation movements across the continent.
Political economist Patrick Bond notes that “xenophobia in South Africa is not born of hatred alone; it is the outcome of unmet economic promises and structural inequality.” Yet, as King Misuzulu implied, economic frustration cannot justify the erosion of African solidarity or the denial of shared humanity.
By calling for dialogue, respect and collaboration, the Zulu monarch reframed the conversation. He positioned African unity not as a moral luxury, but as a historical obligation and a strategic necessity in a global system that continues to marginalize the continent.
Traditional Leadership as Moral Authority. One of the most striking aspects of King Misuzulu’s intervention is the role of traditional leadership in contemporary African politics. While elected officials often speak in partisan language, traditional rulers draw legitimacy from history, culture and continuity. Their words resonate across political and national lines.
As Kenyan scholar Ali Mazrui once observed, “Traditional authority in Africa, when exercised wisely, can humanize politics and soften the hard edges of the modern state.” King Misuzulu’s message exemplified this wisdom, bridging past and present, culture and politics, nation and continent.
Reimagining Borders and Cooperation. The king’s call also invites a broader reflection on regional cooperation in Southern Africa. Institutions such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) were founded on the recognition that economic growth, security and stability are interlinked across borders. Yet popular attitudes often lag behind institutional aspirations.
By emphasizing historical ties between the Zulu nation and neighboring countries, King Misuzulu offered a cultural foundation for political and economic integration. Cultural diplomacy, scholars argue, is often more enduring than formal treaties. It humanizes policy and grounds cooperation in shared identity.
Zimbabwean academic Prof. Ngwabi Bhebe has written extensively on the Zulu–Ndebele connection, noting that “history provides a common language through which contemporary disputes can be reinterpreted and resolved.” This is precisely the interpretive work the monarch sought to initiate.
A Message for the Continent and the World. While delivered in KwaZulu-Natal, King Misuzulu’s address carries implications far beyond South Africa. Across Africa, debates over migration, identity and belonging are intensifying. From North Africa to the Sahel, from West Africa to the Horn, the question remains: WILL AFRICANS TURN AGAINST ONE ANOTHER OR WILL THEY REDISCOVER THE SOLIDARITIES THAT ONCE POWERED ANTI-COLONIAL RESISTANCE?
The king’s intervention suggests a hopeful answer. By grounding unity in history rather than slogans, and cooperation in respect rather than fear, he articulated a vision of African coexistence that is both realistic and aspirational.
History’s Verdict: History as a Compass, Not a Chain. King Misuzulu kaZwelithini’s speech at Isandlwana was more than a ceremonial address and it was a moral and historical intervention at a critical moment. By invoking KoBulawayo, the Zulu–Ndebele connection and the enduring ties between Southern African peoples, he challenged narrow nationalism and reminded Africans of their shared roots.
In an era of rising global nationalism and inward-looking politics, such leadership is rare and necessary. As philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah has argued, “We do not need to abandon our local identities to embrace a broader humanity; we need to understand how they connect.”
King Misuzulu did exactly that. He showed that history, when honestly confronted, can become a bridge rather than a battleground. And in doing so, he offered Southern Africa (and the continent at large) a path toward dignity, cooperation and renewed African brotherhood.
