Shagamu, Ogun State-born socialite, Yacoob Abiodun‘s looks belie his age. At almost 70, the longstanding socialite had a good run in civil service and is currently savouring life in retirement. Fondly called Tito by his admirers, many will recollect that he attracted the presence of the crème of society to the public presentation of his self-authored book, “Affordable Housing and Urban Planning Practice in Nigeria” which held at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Victoria Island last March.
Subsequently, Tito whose only daughter, Lola got married to Tosin, Senator Gbenga Ashafa‘s son in 2009, took leave of the social scene. Unknown to many, he relocated albeit temporarily to the United States of America where he schooled more than two decades ago. While there, he busied himself with study tours to Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
After a long absence from the social scene, he made an eye-catching appearance at a party which was held in Lagos recently. Brilliantly-dressed in a light-hued traditional attire and Mauri shoes, he was sighted at the party held in honour of the memory of late Bode Fadase.
