Ex-Wema Bank MD, Adegbite, Dies

Former Managing Director of Wema Bank, Chief Samuel Adegbite, is dead.
Adegbite, died on Sunday morning at a Lagos hospital. He was aged 73.
Curiously, sympathisers, who thronged the deceased ‘Oasis of Grace Villa’ Ibadan residence on Monday, were turned back.
Correspondent, who visited the place, saw three of the deceased’s aides preventing sympathisers from gaining access to the compound.
One of them (name not given) said, “Chief died in a Lagos Hospital. That is all we know for now. His family members are not here in Ibadan. You know he lived more in Lagos than Ibadan. We have not received any directive on how to open condolence register.
“All we have been telling the visitors is that we cannot receive anybody yet until we have instruction from the family.”
Until his death, Adegbite was Chairman, Oasis Group Limited, Oasis Insurance Plc, and Intercontinental Homes Savings and Loans Limited.

Although they have two teaching licences, there is one practical difference when it comes to the finances.

Yinka Ayefele – “If you think I’m impotent, bring your sister”

Image
Many people still don’t believe that Gospel musician Yinka Ayefele, who had a fatal accident years back, can perform the duty of a husband in terms of procreation. But the Ibadan based singer shocked many people, when he got married and started raring children. Yinka said, “Doctors would tell you that my case is very special and rare; my case is one of a thousand cases. There are some things I may not want to say here but... "I challenge those who still don’t believe me that I can perform to come with their sisters to prove the point. What I am trying to say is that I’m fortunate to have proved the medical practitioner wrong in some aspects. They say I wouldn’t be able to have erection but the day they discovered I was able to have it was like a miracle; in fact, my consultant was shocked, I thank God for this.” So all you doubting Thomas, hope you know better now?
