The tang of money is sweet like nectar; the common procurer of tastes and species of woodland butterflies. Thus a chap with money attains the visage of a charmed man. Ask Hakeem Muri-Okunola. The former Permanent Secretary of the Lands Bureau in Lagos state, became even more attractive than he was before he assumed duty. At his exit however, his successor, Bode Agoro, has caught the money bug.
Agoro’s recent designation and encounter with money functions for him as a procurer of people, plaudits and prestige just like it did for his predecessor, Muri-Okunola. There is money in the Lands Bureau of Lagos State and Agoro, like his predecessor, is making the most of it within the ambits of the law, due process and professional ethics. There is no doubt the new Permanent Secretary is living big; he has got a generous heart too, like Santa Claus. This is why ladies love Bode Agoro. He is flamboyant, gregarious and bohemian. A connoisseur of sort when it comes to choice drinks, Agoro knows his wines and cognacs as intimately as a child understands his sandbox. Until recently, he dwelt in relative obscurity.
But no sooner did he assume his recent appointment than he became the darling of his subordinates at the Lands Bureau and the coastal city’s high society. Now in and around Lagos where he lives, Agoro is renowned and respected for his deep pocket and la vida loca lifestyle. In his early 40s and with looks that good money and good living have helped to further burnish, you may call him an Adonis for his gorgeous dress sense and expensive taste in designer apparels. No wonder he has been described as a lady-killer whose aura effortlessly draws the finest species of womenfolk ranging from blacks, blondes to brunettes and exotic Orientals.
