More than a meal, Iyan Olodo by The City Pulse revives the heritage of Yoruba food culture. Served in calabash-style fashion with unadulterated palm wine, the experience channels a time when meals were sacred, communal, and rooted in tradition.
Located inside Lagos Television, Agidingbi, Ikeja, The City Pulse Lounge offers more than just food — it delivers a cultural immersion.
Guests hear yam being pounded fresh (except for pre-orders), surrounded by live Juju, Fuji, Gospel, and indigenous sounds every weekend.
Founder Ayoyemi Mojoyinola, better known as Ayo Mojoyin, envisioned Iyan Olodo by The City Pulse as a tribute to Yoruba ancestral ways.
“I conceptualised Iyan Olodo to bring back the memories of our forefathers… how they ate yam with fresh palm wine. As a journalist-turned-hospitality entrepreneur, I wanted to protect that experience,” he said.
The delicacy has already drawn celebrity attention, with patrons such as:
- Chief Bestman Nze, President of Team Nigeria
- Otunba Femi Davies, journalist and Metronews Nigeria founder
- Otunba Olayinka Ogundipe ‘Ultra’, certified realtor
- Mr. Adebisi Adewusi (DebisiKonga), broadcaster with Radio Lagos/Eko FM
Video footage of these high-profile visits will soon be released to boost buzz.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has set its initial public offering price at ₦525 per share, with the company seeking to raise about ₦2.15 trillion as it prepares to enter Nigeria’s public equities market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the offer for 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 each. If fully subscribed, the offer would generate approximately ₦2.15 trillion, equivalent to about $1.6 billion at current exchange rates.
The offering is expected to open on 14 September 2026, according to Aliko Dangote, the president of Dangote Industries. The planned sale is positioned to become one of the largest equity offerings in Africa.
The IPO marks a significant step in Dangote Group’s plans to broaden ownership of the refinery and raise additional capital for expansion.
The refinery currently has a stated processing capacity of 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Dangote has said the company plans to increase that capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day as part of its longer-term expansion strategy.
The planned share sale follows a $1 billion underwriting programme completed in August, providing additional financial backing ahead of the public offering.
The refinery, located in the Lekki area of Lagos State, is one of Africa’s largest industrial projects and has become an increasingly important player in Nigeria’s fuel supply market since beginning operations.
The public offering will give Nigerian investors an opportunity to acquire shares in the refinery directly, while providing Dangote Petroleum Refinery with fresh capital to support its next phase of growth.
The company has also indicated ambitions to expand beyond its current Nigerian operations, with Dangote recently announcing plans for another refinery project in Kenya.
