ABDUL SAMAD RABIU

A deluge of birthday tidings and good will messages came the way of the Chairman and visionary boss of BUA Group, AbdulSamad Rabiu, who clocked 60 years on August 4, 2020.

We gather that the business mogul whose social media handles were riddled with well-wishes and congratulatory messages unusually had a small gathering of relatives, friends, and business associates as he marked his 60th birthday due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Born in Kano to one of the most accomplished early Nigerian industrialists, Khalifah Isyaku Rabiu, Abdul Samad’s business style and dynamism have led to his frequent mention in the reputed Forbes list even as his BUA Group continues to exist as a reputable conglomerate in manufacturing, infrastructure, and agriculture.

OTEDOLA & WIFE NANA

Billionaire industrialist Femi Otedola stopped at nothing to treat his wife Nana to a memorable birthday party as the mother of his kids whom he married 28 years-ago clocked 50.

Celebrity Gist can confirm that the business mogul, who is behind the Geregu Power Plc, treated his wife to a modest birthday party in London to celebrate her new age and their marriage.

Also in attendance at Nana’s birthday party marked in accordance with the social distancing rule due to the COVID-19 pandemic, were her children who turned out to mark the special day quietly, with their dad as chief host.

BEYONCE

Beyonce reveals why she featured Nigerian stars in new album

American singer Beyonce stirred up a debate on social media following the video release of her song “Already’’ featuring Ghanaian King of Dancehall, Shatta Wale, which leaves much to be desired.

Critics of the music video which has been generating mixed reactions from music fans across the globe say that the video which was number one on trending videos on YouTube in its first week of release reinforces the negative stereotype that Africa is primitive.

However, others celebrated the fact that the singer whose music over the last two decades has grown from call and response to historical material and documentation, is promoting African musicians and by extension its culture through her music.
