Bodex Media Storms Benin Royal Hotel for Test Tour of Destination Ouidha powered by Motherland Beckons

Motherland beckons hosts few personalities to test tour in Benin Royal Hotel. The theme this time leads to destination Ouidha. This is meant to be an experience to promote tourism.and further strengthen the bond across nations. The trip also helped to foster a good retreat time for proper planning and strategy for the year.

All work and no play they say, makes Jack a dull boy. This time, Jack becomes Bodex Media. The trip was the bomb! It is absolutely the best feeling ever to set the sail of the journey of year 2018. With wonderful people on this journey, it was a road trip like never before.

The trip started with us taking off from the island. Every moment was bubbly and fun-filled with the likes of the MD/CEO Bodex Media herself, an aorta of fun. Everyone was in fact stung by the bug of fun. Leaving the island to the border took a while, but was fast.

We left at 3:25 pm and got to the border at 6:38pm. We waited a while for our next ride across the Nigerian/Beninoise border. At 6:51pm, we were past seme border, deep into the Beninois territory.

The border was more of a market and had stops at almost every meter. The journey across the border was effortless, save the proper documentations and all. It can be surprising how difficult it could be to cross from Nigeria to Benin Republic.

We took selfies and at the same time, explored what the border holds in goods and arts. We continued on the journey with more distance to cover as our major destination was at Cotonou, which is about an hour plus from seme border.

The bus still was lit up in fun, and Beninoise really knew that there were some people in town. We even missed our way at some point, but thanks to the good cyclists of Benin who went out of the way to lead us to our final destination-Benin Royal Hotel.

We arrived the hotel at about 8:05pm with a warm reception from the African ambassador of tourism- Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye and the chairman of Benin Royal hotel, Mr Bouraimoh Dine. The hotel which would pass for a five-star houses about 68 rooms en suite, with a wide swimming pool anchored on the 5th floor-such a great structure and architectural masterpiece!

After checking in to our various rooms, we were greeted the official Benin way with variety of food and drinks. “You could really eat to stupor!” Everyone enjoyed the dinner served starting from the dessert, to the main course, and then the appetizer itself. If you didn’t have a large appetite, all the dishes served would run into wastage.

We were treated like the royalty that we are and the reception was warm and hospitable. Everyone tending us was polite and respectful. If I’m asked to write a review, they are worth a 5-star.

Controversy trails Flavour’s performance at RCCG pastor Siju’s party

Siju, a pastor and wife of the Idowu Iluyomade, a senior pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David, Lagos, has set tongues wagging on social media for inviting secular singer Flavour to perform at her birthday party.

Siju, who is also a lawyer, speaker and activist, turned 60 last week.

She then celebrated the occasion at the Eko Hotels in Victoria Island in a grand style on Sunday.

The colourful and glamorous birthday party was graced by some notable figures, monarchs and the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry.

The attendees included Tony Elumelu, Toke Makinwa, Ali Baba, and Kenny Saint Brown, as well as Rasaq and Shade Okoya, among others.

In viral videos, Flavour, who was one of the performing artistes, was seen entertaining the guests with hit songs from his music catalogue.

In one of the videos, the singer also serenaded the celebrant on stage while she danced along to his performance.

The footage, however, attracted heated controversy on social media. Several Nigerians on X questioned why a secular artiste like Flavour should be performing at the birthday party of a pastor.

“When you see 60th birthday celebration of PASTOR Siju Illuyomade, then you will know why some people are STILL running away from church!” a user wrote.

Another user added in a lengthy post: “RCCG Pastor Siju Iluyomade, the wife of the senior Pastor of one of the biggest RCCG Parish held her 60th birthday party this weekend and Flavour was the lead artist but no gospel musician”.

Here is what some users had to say:
