The wealthy Chagory family is set to open a multi-million Naira hangout in Lagos, Nigeria.The hangout, which is already nearing completion is situated inside the Lagoon Restaurant, one of their business concerns in Victoria Island.
Privileged sources told http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ that when the place is formally opened, it would be one of its kinds in Nigeria. “The invitation would soon be out and top socialites would be part of the colourful opening event” disclosed a source.
Apart from state of the art facilities already put in place, we gathered that the new club has seven VIP Lounges. Some of them include the Normal VIP, Responsible VIP and Executive VIP Lounge. This is unprecedented in the history of club business in the country.
The Chagorys allegedly ‘cornered’ several multi-billion dollar contracts awarded durning the corrupt regime of late General Sani Abacha(1993-98).The Chagory's family are Lebanese immigrant who have lived in Nigeria for more than 50 years. They are known to have great influence in Nigeria’s corridor of power, hence their huge investments and connections. Gilbert and Sabel Chagory are the most prominent of the Chagory brothers in Nigeria. The businessmen are known for their highly flamboyant lifestyles. Their influence transcends Nigeria, as they are known to be close to several presidents and billionaires around the world.
Their taste for luxury can not be underestimated. That explains why most big boys and babes in town believe once they take off fully; it would be favourite hangout of A-list revelers.
Right now, sources disclosed to http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ that Folorunsho Folarin-Coker’s club known as La Casa on Ozumba Mbadiwe is on top of the game. The former Deputy Chief of Staff of Lagos is said to have the highest number of A-list customers.Folake, his beautiful wife is the A-list designer behind Tiffany Amber.Recently, they launched a new label known as Folake Folarin.

ReplyDeleteInitially the post read "Tiffany Coker" before Niyi changed it to "Tiffany Amber". You can confirm from him. I knew what I wrote at that time. I am not blind.
