The pleasures of owning a yacht are numerous and the multimillion naira acquisition is a status-enhancing item many can now claim ownership of. Here are some rich Nigerians who own these luxury water ‘toys’:

Kola Aluko

This oil magnate, whose shot to wealth and fame is still being discussed in social circles, joined the league of owners of the most expensive yachts in the world. He has a Hessen built Galactica Star valued at $100million and is probably the most expensive boat owned by a black man. The humongous boat won a prestigious award at the Monaco Boat Show in 2013.

Femi Otedola

His 12m dollars luxury yacht is named after his wife, Nana. It is a sight to behold. Believed to own more than one yacht, each is said to set him back by several millions of naira.

Deinde Fernandez

A self-made billionaire, he has a gigantic yacht he sails in when the need arises. The luxury boat, which is one of his numerous luxury acquisitions, is named Yemoja.

Aliko Dangote

His yacht is a masterpiece. The luxury boat, which set him back by several millions of dollars, was purchased a few years ago and he sails in it from time to time.

Oscar Ibru

The scion of the Ibru dynasty, Oscar Ibru loves the good life and he makes no pretence about it. For one who works hard, he spares no cost at pampering himself. One of the ways he achieves this is by sailing regularly on his private yacht.

Tony Elumelu

Former banker and chairman, HEIRS Holding, loves to sail as much as he likes to fly in private jets. For the former purpose, he owns a luxury yacht.

Tunde Folawiyo

Although he likes to be silent about his wealth, his pedigree is such that prevents him from escaping notice. Expectedly, he is one of several affluent personalities who own a yacht.

Just like her mother, Wosilat Okoya-Seriki, Bisola Dejonwo-Tokan is one personality that has paparazzi hot on their heels. This is on account of their pedigree as well as their famed good looks.

Many will recollect that Bisola got married over a year ago to Jide Tokan at a celebrity-studded wedding. Bisola, who is a social bird, has been missing on the social scene for many months. Her longstanding absence was tied to her pregnant state.

Unknown to most people, the hitherto mother of one is now a mother of two. She was delivered of another baby boy outside Nigeria many weeks back. She has since returned to the country and has been sighted at a few places.

Abisola Ajimobi, as some people still like to address her, is the eldest child of the Oyo State governor. Not many will forget in a hurry, the multi-million naira wedding that was staged when she got married to Kolapo Kola-Daisi. Her husband is the son of Ibadan-based billionaire industrialist, Chief Kola Daisi.

Abisola, who is friends with a number of international celebrities including Lala Anthony and Kelly Rowland, is still smitten like she just tied the nuptial knots. Those who have come across her and her hubby at events would have been privy to the public display of affection both engage in.

Meanwhile, people have raised eyebrows on why her other equally beautiful sisters, including Simi and Ajibola, have been keeping a low profile as opposed to their sister who is constantly visible.

The Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Honourable Emeka Ihedioha, is well-known in the political and social circles but the same cannot be said of his beautiful wife, Ebele.

The light-skinned and pretty woman, who holds the fort in the home front while her husband is away politicking, was sighted in his company at the wedding of Senator Joy Emodi’s daughter.

Not a few necks craned in their direction when they arrived the venue of the wedding.

An accomplished legal practitioner, Asue Ighodalo is a founding and managing partner of Banwo & Ighodalo, a law firm. He also sits on the boards of public and private companies and Non-profit organisations including the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, Dangote Flour Mills Plc, Christopher Kolade Foundation and FATE Foundation to mention but a few.
