The Somolu residence of Ijebu-born business mogul, Chief Dewale Teluwo, was a sight to behold as he hosted an elaborate Christmas party that attracted relatives, friends and top business associates from within and outside Lagos.
The well-attended end-of-year celebration, held in a warm and serene atmosphere, underscored Chief Teluwo’s reputation as a respected community figure and successful businessman whose relationships cut across social and professional divides.
Family members of the host were on hand to receive guests, while close friends and business associates described the gathering as an opportunity to reconnect, strengthen bonds and reflect on the outgoing year. Several guests commended Chief Teluwo for consistently using the festive season to promote unity, love and togetherness.
“I’m sure this is what Mama has been doing during her lifetime and continued by Chief Teluwo, which I see as a good platform for family, friends and neighbours to come together to wine and dine under the same roof irrespective of their status and colours”.
Similarly, Mrs Abimbola Teluwo, one of the wives, described the Christmas party as a brainchild of her mother-in-law of blessed memory, Mrs Felicia Okuneye Teluwo, who saw the need to show love to young and old in the community in celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, which Chief Dewale Teluwo picked up.
In the same vein, Mrs Joy Teluwo, in her remarks, said the Xmas party celebration remains part of the activities the family look forward to celebrating with young and old, family and friends, to wine and dine like family to further keep the legacy intact and remain impactful in all senses.
The celebration featured a rich array of Nigerian delicacies, complemented by assorted drinks, as guests were lavishly entertained. Musical performances and light-hearted interactions for the children added colour to the evening, keeping the atmosphere lively well into the night.
