Abisola Kola-Daisi Gets Serious
Life changes people. The lily and the rose, once believing themselves to be the only flowers under the heavens, having brought fought new seeds, relax themselves. This is a lot like Lady Abisola Kola-Daisi, wife of Kolapo Kola-Daisi and the eldest child of the former and late governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi. She is so different today from what she was yesterday as if she is another person.
There was a time when Lady Abisola, Abi-KD for short, wore life on short sleeves. She enjoyed life for what it brought, labouring only to decide what indulgence to dress in and what extravagance to exhibit to her friends and followers. But that lady of the past, that lily shielded by the affluence and influence of her parents, has faded into the background.
The Abi-KD of today is a different person. It was not long ago that she was appointed as Special Adviser to Nigeria’s Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu. Moreover, the appointment was not a favour to the Ajimobis nor the KolaDaisis but was based on her merits.
Presently, Abi-KD is building up a strong foundation for a political and corporate career. In the past, even when it did not seem as if she was very serious about life, she had a thing with the fashion business. That remainsthe rationale for her boutique in Victoria Island, Florence H Luxury, a top luxury retail fashion brand in Lagos and beyond.
It is amazing to see Abi-KD rise from the times of light frivolity to sternness and urgency. Life would do that to a person, showing them the possibilities to be had from holding by its horns the bull of life’s seasons.
Is this the same lady who travelled all around the world, spending a weekend in France for the wedding of American reality star, Kim Kardashian? Yes! The same and a lot more!
