ReplyDeleteFor those kids here who don't know him, let me help you out.
ReplyDeleteChief Oluwo Antonio Deinde Fernandez was held distinctively in high esteem he was the great man, achieved a lot in his prime time. He was prime minister of CAR, lifetime united nations rep for CAR, ANGOLA and Mozambique. He was financial minister to the Angolan govt, a friend of mobutu, the order of the leopard of angola and in his home country he was the Olori Oluwo of the Ogboni Confraternity. Chief Fernandez's a billionaire, a multi-billionaire whose wealth never had any direct positive impact in Nigeria but other African nations because of our bad corrupt government at the time. I will say he was highly self confident, selfless, and insanely ambitious. Yes he's a brazilian-lagosian, born in the mid 1930's. Raised, in lagos island, went to Columbia University and studied Business. He was Chief Ambassador to many African nations except Nigeria, with business EMPIRES in bauxite, diamonds, oil, gold, and real estate. Had houses in belgium, Uk, USA, Americas, Kano, and even in france where he bought a chateau formerly owned by Napoleon Bonaparte.
Oluwo Fernandez na bad guy, TALL, prominent, classy, extremely selective but reclusive. One time, he sent out all customers just to eat at a restaurant, says he can't be seen eaten with "commoners" that's how wealthy this Nigerian born chief operates. When he was who he was, his stratoshpere couldn't be acessible by just anybody, you must be a god like he is or as connected as he is. Chief Fernandez, had direct contacts to major heads of states world over, business moguls in this world and beyond, captains of industries and he had all things money can buy
His Sigil is that of 2 rams and 2 swords clinging to one another, that's the sigil of House Fernandez. And his slogan, Aguntan meji kii mumi ninu koto kan na. what that simply means is that two rams cannot drink from the same waterbowl. Or like some people will say, there cannot be two captains on a ship.
Adieu Olori Oluwo Antonio Deinde Fernandez, You live, you die, you live again. Go on and rest in the Shiny and Chrome halls of Valhalla, where you will feast with the heroes of time past.
Sun Re O, Kiniun Funfun.
I think him not eating wt commoners had a lot more to do wt him being a Grand master of ogboni fraternity & his traditionalist rituals dn anything else. His first wife was an erelu for christs sake.
DeleteForget that Erelu matter. She wasn't his "wife"... she knows... and she refused to drop his name. Die hard woman was disgraced.
DeleteSisi dustbin everyone knows that itk
DeleteRip
ReplyDeleteIn the end we all end in the same place, both rich and poor. RIP
ReplyDeleteDid he invest in nigeria? Did he raise up a generation of millionaires and billionaires? He and him alone enjoyed his wealth let him go and face His Maker
ReplyDeleteDid he make his money in nigeria? Did he help d comunities dt made him money?
DeleteFor where? Which heaven? An ROF member???
ReplyDeleteDon't say that; you're not God. Moreso, a lot of your so called pastors are hell bound, even with their saintly (yinmu) disposition.
DeleteWhat a shame to have all that money and class and still not live forever!
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace!
Bad belle Nigerians, must every Nigerian with money invest or help Nigeria?, that is what the government is for, shallow fools. Plus he did not make his money in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a shame because every human dies.
