Like Dele Momodu, Like Kunle Oduah.. By Saint-Olawale Jimoh

I love people who relate and mingle effortlessly. They make life easier and unify the world. This generation has a whole lot to contend with but proud people would only add to the problem. Having a good human relations is indeed a huge asset and that's why those with this trait travel through all classes of the society without issues. This is the singular reason why the likes of Bashorun Dele Momodu will continue to soar higher. Someone once twitted, 'People can debate Dele Momodu's choices but for me, I admire his uncommon ability to keep friends and access to every level of society intact.' Fact is, no journalist has more access than Bashorun Dele Momodu. He's a king in the game. Almost all African leaders and Presidents are his close friends. He feels completely at home at almost all Presidential Villas all over Africa. He knows and have access to all the who's who in Nigeria and beyond. From Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Late Anthonio Fernandez, Adenuga, Otedola, Elumelu, Atiku to Tony Blair, Kuffor, George Bush, Clinton,Rabbi Aryeh Deri and many others. Closely following Momodu's footsteps is Lagos socialite and media personality, Adekunle Oduah. A proud Lagosian and untiring advocate of better Lagos. I first saw him at a function in Lagos where I covered for a new digital magazine. An event attended by the Lagos Governor and his deputy, our big brother from Ijebu Ode, Chief Lekan Osifeso, K1 De Ultimate and many others. Judging from his activities in the gathering, it was obvious he is one of K1's allies. Later I paid close attention to his online activities and found he's one of the very few media personalities who pays meticulous attention to all that has to do with Lagos. That he's gifted with a magic wand is an understament. He knows his onions when it comes to Lagos social circle. He has unrestricted access to many Lagos bigwigs. He is a respected visitor to the palaces of Oniru of Iruland, Oba Wasiu Lawal Omogbolahann, Elegushi of Ikateland, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi and Eleko himself. He gets along easily with the company of the Akinshiku of Lagos, Chief Olamilekan Dosunmu, the highly revered Canadian-based Lagos socialite, Chief Ajani Bolaji Basia and the King of Fuji music, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal. By every standard, he's a classy man, sociable and polished. Well-known for his brilliance, admirable comportment and professionalism. Over the years, he has grown in leaps and bounds from small beginnings, toiling and rising in Lagos inner circle to become a Senior Legislative Aide to The Speaker of House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila. In few years to come, Kunle Oduah might just become another Dele Momodu traveling through world social circle, winning and conquering.
