Party Across the Sea …As Nigeria Ambassador, Demola Seriki Throws 60th Bash for Wife in Madrid

The glittering city of Madrid, Spain, recently witnessed the kind of lavish celebration that only Nigerians can muster. Even though it was muted for many reasons, the bash that Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain, Ademola Rasaq Seriki, threw in honour of his wife’s 60th birthday is enough to help Spaniards reassess their outlook on the curious and colourful.

There is no doubting the elegance that accompanies the wife of Ademola Seriki, Wosilat Okoya-Seriki. This taste and style has always inspired her husband, the Ambassador, to go out of his way to unite with her. This is no easy feat, that much is obvious, but for love, all difficulties are dry twigs. Thus, even as Mrs Wosilat clocked 60, Demola Seriki spared nothing to demonstrate his unquenchable love.

The dinner party was attended by friends and family, but that did not dim the colours of jubilation and satisfaction that permeated the air. As the couple moved from one invited guest to the next, it was obvious that these ones were made to match with one rapturous event after another cementing their status as one of Nigeria’s loveliest couples that are over 60.

Perhaps, these are the best of times for Ambassador Ademola Seriki. A few months ago, his brother-in-law, billionaire industrialist, Chairman of the prestigious Eleganza Group and Aare of Lagos, Rasak Akanni Okoya, threw a similarly colourful bash for him on his 61st birthday. This turned out to be a prelude to the send forth ceremony which was even more colourful.

There is no point envying the Ambassador. In the past year, the man has climbed heights that his peers can only look up to. With the ageless Wosilat Okoya-Seriki by his side, it is difficult to imagine a huddle that he would not surpass. Indeed, these are the best of times for the Serikis.
