Popular Real Estate Mogul, Lamina Ojugbele Dies At 89

The demise of one of Nigeria's iconic real estate merchants, Bashorun Lamina Ayinla Ojugbele has been announced.

Trendscopenews learnt that the prominent businessman and Lagos socialite passed away on Wednesday (yesterday).

He died at the age of 89, according to a report monitored on CityScoop. Ojugbele until his dead was the Bashorun of Otaland.

The Ota Prince was born on June 16, 1935 by the first Iyalode of the ancient town of Ota.

Not only was Ojugbele in his his lifetime a successful businessman but one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry in those days.

In fact, the name Lamina Ojugbele was very prominent in the social circle of the 60s and 70s. He was one of Nigeria’s pioneer club owners who patronized notable musicians of the time.

One of the famous traditional Apala music exponents of that era, Alhaji Yussuf Olatunji did a number in

one of his albums on Lamina Ojugbele

and his ‘Ota Night Club & Guest House’.

Ota Night Club and Guest House, located on Palm Avenue, Mushin, was back then one of the happening places for night life.

The Juju music czar, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey was a regular caller at Ojugbele’s popular club house, where he reportedly shot himself into limelight.

In 1974, the Miliki King gave Ojugbele a memorable number in one of his albums where he admonished him to continue to be of good character and never deviate from his principles (Ojugbele bo ti se nse t'olorun ngba fun e, be na ni o ma se, ma ma yiwapada).

From club and hotel businesses, Ojugbele grew to become one of Lagos’ (if not Nigeria’s) biggest land merchants with landed properties scattered in many choice areas across Lagos and Ota, his home town and place of birth.

Prince Lamina Ayinla Ojugbele is a proud member of many notable social clubs, and holder of several social and chieftancy titles.

The foremost socialite turned 89 last month. He was a member of Island Club, Eko Club, City Star Club and Iganmode Club.

He has been buried according to Islamic rites.
