-Bliss is in the detail as his guests make ceaseless pilgrimage to the billionaire’s manor
Aig Imouhkuede’s manor in Surrey, United Kingdom is a dream of bliss; a real life pictogram of the fabled Neverland. Amid its captivating plot, you could be forgiven for getting lost, metaphorically, if you are a first time visitor. Recurrent callers at the mansion have been known to keel over, in enthrallment with the lavish treat.
Aig’s mansion is a testament of class. Outside, it is garlanded with carven imageries of archs and flowers, and bunches of knot-grass. Inside, it is ornamented with panes of quaint decor, embroidered fabric and devices. It’s ambience of splendid dyes and luxury titivate like the damasked wings of the tiger-moth.
Such taste for luxury as displayed by Aig, it is often said, has ruined more poets and caused them to lose their wit, than ever did a taste for the gutters. Yet no poet or grand proponent of the high art could visit his mansion and totally lose it. Rather he or she would simply descend into the hallowed chambers of eternal muse. Aig’s manor no doubt, inspires the best of lyricism in the established poet and apathetic to art. Interestingly, penultimate Saturday, he celebrated his 50th birthday in this beautiful mansion. It practically turned out a gathering of who-is-who in Nigeria and several moguls of the business community attended the event.
But the mansion held practically all the guests spellbound. They talked about it all through the event. A visit to the mansion was quite an experience. In Surrey, Aig’s palatial mansion sticks out like a gold crest, amid the houses in the area. The exterior utters elegance without obscenity. Inside, expensive incandescent bulbs brightly illuminate the architectural delight. Everywhere is spick-and-span and has the halo of an improvised Eden on earth. Pristine and exquisitely burnished with class, his mansion emphasizes without much effort, the sheer tastefulness of the owner.
