Niger Delta Big Boy, Abu Jibia, Dwindling Fortune… OLA KING

Published

on

In his halcyon days as a top player in the nation’s oil and gas sector, Abu Jibia commanded a lot of respect. While he was envied by many in the industry, many others, who saw him as god-send in their lives, loved him beyond description. He had so many things at his beck and call in his days of glory. He was a popular socialite as he threw money around like a drunken sailor. Apart from that he was a known philanthropist among his people.

But for some inexplicable reasons, he literally poked the law in the eyes sometime in 2013. That was when he, in connivance with his cohorts, allegedly stored and distributed two barges and two petrol tankers filled with adulterated diesel.

As a result of this shameful deed, his vessel, MT Swordfish, which was said to worth several millions of dollars, was also seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Jibia was subsequently arraigned  by the anti-graft agency before Justice Mojisola  Olatoregun of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos on a five-count charge  bordering on conspiracy,  unlawful dealing in Automated Gas Oil,  AGO and unlawful distribution of adulterated petroleum products,  among others.

At the outset of the trial, he had wrongfully thought that he could escape justice owing to his influence in the society. Indeed, he was said to have boasted that he was untouchable. But four years after, the Delta State- born businessman is now ruing the day he ventured into the illicit business.

The case has dragged for so long and it has left holes in the former billionaire’s pocket. 

Today, he is said to be seriously broke, no thanks to the government of President Mohammadu Buhari who has zero tolerance for corruption.

www.crystal.com.ng gathered that he has been abandoned by those who used to praise-sing him. Worse still, the so-called godfathers who had reportedly assured him that he would be left off the hook are nowhere to be found, as they themselves have all run for cover since President Buhari took over the reins of power in 2015.

Aisha Achimugu’s Glamorous Rendezvous With Paris

Published

on

By

Paris has always had a way of making fashion feel less like clothing and more like theatre. And when the world’s style aristocracy gathered for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Nigerian high flying businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, arrived with the kind of polished glamour that commands attention without demanding it.
Against the timeless backdrop of the French capital, Achimugu stepped into the world of Paris Fashion Week in a look that married sophistication with modern femininity. Her ensemble was defined by a refined silhouette, impeccable tailoring and the kind of carefully considered styling in which every detail appeared deliberate. The proportions were elegant, the finish luxurious, while her accessories added just the right measure of sparkle and personality.
Her beauty look complemented rather than competed with the outfit. Immaculately styled hair, luminous makeup and a poised, confident bearing completed the picture, allowing the clothes to retain their quiet authority. It was a lesson in restraint: nothing appeared excessive, yet every element, from the jewellery to the finishing touches, contributed to the overall effect.
The real strength of Achimugu’s Paris appearance, however, was in the details. The interplay of texture and silhouette gave the look dimension, while the accessories provided those subtle flashes of glamour associated with the best society dressing. There was an understanding of proportion, balance and occasion, a recognition that at Paris Fashion Week, being noticed is not necessarily about wearing the loudest look in the room.
For Achimugu, fashion has never seemed like an afterthought. It is part of the persona, the jewellery, the sculpted silhouettes, the luxurious textures, the immaculate finishing and that unmistakable confidence of a woman comfortable in her own skin.
Her Paris appearance offered yet another glimpse into the glamorous lifestyle of the Felak Concept Group boss, whose public persona has over the years straddled business, philanthropy, high society and fashion.
In the city, amid the fashion houses and international style elite, Achimugu appeared more than as a spectator but as a Nigerian woman confidently occupying a global fashion space. Her look spoke in the sophisticated language of Parisian dressing, polished, assured and intentionally glamorous, while retaining the unmistakable confidence of a woman bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.
And as the lights of Paris dimmed on another fashionable season, her appearance left behind the unmistakable impression of a woman who understands that fashion, at its most powerful, is as much about presence as it is about clothes.
