Femi Otedola Begins ‘Test Of Return To Reckoning Status’ Burial For Dad & Ex Gov, Michael Otedola

As you read this, the burial activities train has kicked off- or about to.

And many look forward to just one thing, whether it will be a whimper show of A-listers attendance or that of collage of showing that will establish whether indeed,the more popular and torchlight of his clan- Femi Otedola has returned to former status of one of the ‘Kings of Commerce’.

The burial is that notable ‘Lagosian’ Michael Otedola, the late governor of Lagos state and father of regaining former status billionaire, Femi Otedola.

The Burial kicks off with a special tribute today (Wednesday May 28 2014) at Onikan Stadium, Onikan. It is scheduled for 10.00 a.m. And is expected to attract adorable and impressionable names from wide and far.

For those conversant with societal appearances at occasions, this is the first test of might, clout and influence- but the sterner test lies in ensuring adorable and impressionable showing of big level names all through a chain of events such as this. And that is only achievable through the standing and leveraging of the touch light of the host, in this case, Femi Otedola.

The deceased, ex Lagos Governor Femi Otedola is man of a bit of a parts himself.

In and out of politics, he has his followership – colleagues and proteges.
And coupled with the involvement of the image conscious lagos state government to get involved certain appearances are guaranteed, for segments of the proceedings. But disposition and carriage at the affair will be determined by how well the face of the family has relaunched himself.

Mr Femi Otedola suffered troubled business episodes that earned him blacklisting by the Central Bank – alongside others- to all financial institution as a loan risk. His problems deepened with celebrated fight with best friend and internationally listed wealthy man, Aliko Dangote. His assets were subject of court case for possession in lieu of debts.
A well known feature on the rich list before Femi Otedola
his business juggling spiralled out of control, Mr Otedola had gone off the scene and later explained the move was to take care of the development that made him contemplate suicide at a point.

He shelved the business identification that was his claim to fame, Zenon Oil and adopted another – Forte Oil. And his handlers proclaimed he is back on his feet, cementing old ties and breaking even on business and social frontiers.

The campaign was on and becoming believable and his father died. And with the burial comes a test of the campaign of his relaunch, (at least in the social sense), with the manner and style of burial. And lovers of the name Otedola, connoisseurs of all things about it and voyeurs of the identity can’t wait to see how it turns out.
