The palatial mansion of Lagos billionaire, Chief Samuel Adedoyin, on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, was filled to the brim, as he gathered all the elder statesmen in town to celebrate his 84th birthday in grand style.

The birthday dinner kicked off at 6:00 p.m. with a Christian thanksgiving, while a grand reception followed at his penthouse, inside his Victoria Island, Lagos palatial mansion.

Baba at 84 looked so calm and cool. He was fully on the ground to welcome his friends. The celebrant, who was clad in cream lace, matched with a unique designer shoe, walked like a Prince that he is.

One could see that he is aging gracefully. Many of his friends couldn’t help but admire him as he moved from table to table. Among the notable personalities that honoured Adedoyin included Elizade Motors’ boss, Chief Ade Ojo; Aare Rasak Akanni Okoya, the patriarch of Okoya dynasty.
