As Aremo Segun Oniru clocks 50

The familiar chime of the anniversary bells, the spectacle and grandeur of a blissful ceremony among other things, evoke the excitement of the Lagos high society as it awaits the 50th anniversary of one of its own. And the celebrant is none other than popular Lagos crown prince, Aremo Segun Oniru. Aremo will clock 50 in the next few hours, 11th March,  and already plans are in top gear to make his arrival at the golden age a memorable one. Champagnes would be popped and glasses clinked in honour of a man with a good heart.
There are lessons to be learnt from the life of Aremo, timeless anecdotes to be precise. An encounter with Segun Oniru would reveal a man of exceptional intellect, profound passion for his calling; and a life that thrives on hard work. The Lagos State Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development , is a man’s man. Besides the fact that he is an alpha male with strings of successes to his credit, his exploits resound as inspiration to generations of Nigerian youths.
Segun’s 50th birthday is not going to be epochal due to any gaudy merriment or outlandish display of wealth, but it would be so more because the day would be marked with exaltation of this gentleman. In the same vein, activities are in top gear to make this year’s celebration a memorable one. It promises to be a festive season mixed with funfair and superb entertainment.
However, unlike the proverbial rolling stone that gathers no moss, Prince Oniru bowls on the lush side of fortune. Like a skillful merchant, he extends his intellect and business savvy beyond the confines of his office; having carved for himself an alternative niche in the entertainment services sector, he is nestling in a wonderland of great prosperity, as you read. Oniru has found his nirvana in his Faaji Restaurant and Wine Bar on Fichley Road, London, United Kingdom (UK). The Lagos Prince is reportedly making a kill from his joint. The popular hangout which is reputed for the freshness and West African-theme of its rich cuisines, wine cellar and serene ambience, has become the favourite of many a Nigerian and other West African residents and travelers through London.
Incidentally, when Prince Oniru decided to float the restaurant some time ago, some of his friends warned him against it, claiming there was no way it could turn out a profitable venture. They obviously doubted the Lagos Prince’s entrepreneurial acumen and diligence. Today, that entrepreneurial spirit of the Prince has paid off and he is having a blast, spiriting money to the bank from his now viable business venture.
Prince Segun is the first son of Oba Idowu Oniru, the Oniru of Iruland, Victoria Island, Lagos. He is also very close to Governor Babatunde Fashola. Besides his London-based restaurant and bar, Prince Segun also owns a chain of business and properties scattered across Lagos. His popular hotel, Timeless, is one such impressive business venture.
