Nightlife doyen, Frank Okamigbo returns with a bang

Nightlife King, Frank Emenike Okamigbo is one man who is full of life. The humble and highly-connected socialite needs no introduction to those who understand nightlife in Lagos. From his days at K-Place in Victoria Island to Club Papas at The Place in Lekki, both in Lagos, Frank commands respect and loyalty. With his skill in human relations and club management, his foremost hangout became the melting pot for silver spoons, celebrities and media personalities. Despite an obvious robust and enviable relationship that existed between Kola Adewale —the owner of The Place chain— and Frank, which made many swim to the club like bees, the beat stopped in 2018. Contrary to some reports swirling around then, the two gentlemen were said to have agreed to halt operations for them to retool, allow Frank to handle “personal things” and then return with a bang. Five years later, Frank is back on the scene with an improved version of the old phenomenally Club Papas. Once again, the gregarious joy giver is returning in partnership with Kola to deliver another round of unimaginable nightlife pleasure at a brand new location in Ikota along Lekki-Epe Expressway.

Spotlight learnt the new joint is a very massive place with everything already set for a glamorous opening in June. Frank, who is also a top player in the real estate business, also runs Papas Foundation, an NGO that caters to the needs of the destitute and other underprivileged people in the society. The nightlife impresario is a United Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace and Africa Youth Parliament Ambassador for Youth Development in Africa.
