TAOFEEK OKOYA:"FASHIONABLY" RIGHT OR WRONG?
By Niyi Tabiti
Taofeek Okoya, son of business tycoon and billionaire, Chief Akanni Rasaq Okoya of Eleganza needs little or no introduction in the social circuit. Aside from being the son of a self made billionaire, the younger Okoya is also focused on his own business. He runs Fico Solutions and Queen of Africa Project, a company into doll production.
The camera lens of gistmaster.com caught the vibrant young man at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos last Sunday at the Mania magazine launch party. He was prim and properly dressed but for sure only few guys would want to be caught in that top!
For many hours, two friends argued whether or not, Taofeek was ‘fashionably’ right or wrong. One says Taofeek must have loved madam so much that he forgot that he was wearing her dress! The other person said every 'fashionista' dress to create attention and Taofeek got it all right because fashion is always setting your standard."This is what some great guys wear elsewhere" one of them argued
Believe me, two people would have punched themselves dead over what Taofeek Okoya wore to the party.
