Every December 28 remains an iconic date in the social calendar of influential members of Nigeria’s social establishment. This particular day always avails powerful friends, relatives and associates of renowned socialite and auto magnate Tayo Ayeni to celebrate with a man whose ingenuity and industry have seen him grow from just being an entrepreneur with interest in a particular business to becoming a respected and renowned empire builder.
This year wasn’t an exception as the billionaire businessman hosted another lavish birthday soiree in his Banana Island, Lagos mansion as he clocked 63 on Sunday December 28. The day wasn’t for the birthday alone as Ayeni also used the party to celebrate his honorary Doctoral Degree award. And because the Ayenis are not a shy lot, there was a lot of eating, drinking, and dancing at the high-octane black-themed 63th birthday soiree. This is the natural course of action when you have billionaires as associates and top-serving politicians as friends. More so, sources said it has really been a good year for Ayeni as his Skymit Motors Limited continues to record high revenue sales. Aside from his tested and trusted business sense, the high-flier is also known to be one who goes all out whenever he has a reason to celebrate or take care of himself. Too many people in the modern world see luxury as a vanity, but to Ayeni, that’s the essence of charmed life. For the Skymit Motor boss, he works hard and thus lives a life of glamour and allure.
