Nike has an unbelievably expensive taste when it comes to dressing up. A taste she must have acquired during her reign as a queen. She shops in exclusive boutiques on the island. Deola Sagoe s House of Oodua and Folake Akindele s Tiffany Amber also exclusively make clothes for her. Abroad, Nike shops in expensive shops and is besotted with Christian Laboutin s shoes which are one of the most expensive designer labels. The queen who has an array of beautiful clothes doesnt wear any outfit twice and the jewellery she has acquired over the years, if sold, will come to a hefty sum.
Equally a car freak, she goes for nothing but the best and you cant catch her in a fairly used car. It must be brand new and sources close to her insist that she doesnt use cars for too long. A year or two and she trades it in for a newer one! Not too long ago, Nike added a Mercedes SLK to the BMW jeep and Mercedes E-class in her garage. All three cars are estimated to have cost about N30 million!
Her flawless skin which is a delight to look at costs the ex-beauty queen so much money to maintain. Inside sources insist that her beauty routine is no child s play and costs a whooping amount of money. Her body care products are imported from the best of shops in Saudi Arabia and she spoils herself with Mary Kay, Helena Robin stein, Christian Dior et al products. Simply put, Nike is a designer freak and she settles for nothing less. That s why every of her outfit costs nothing less than ,000 and her beautiful shoes are a wonder to behold. Even Imelda Marcos would go green with envy!
When it comes to her hair, she spares nothing to achieve what she wants. Nike is just about the only society gal who coughs out a N100,000 to make just one hairstyle! An insider confirms that Nike buys original human hair and that costs between -. She hardly goes to the saloon but her hairstylist, a Lebanese named Raymond who comes and make her hair. And home services with Raymond costs nothing less than N30,000 or more, depending on what you want.
Those who pay a paltry sum of a million naira to their landlords and complain would be astounded as this Queen of Hearts coughs out millions of naira as rent for her Victoria Island abode (on Ajose Adeogun Street). The house is a duplex with all the works including a swimming pool, and exquisite furniture and pieces from all over the world. Its a magnificent abode.
Beautiful, assuming and a go getter, Nike is probably one of the few women who fit into the class of celebrities that crave the A-list and belong on top of it.
37 this year, she shot into limelight 14 years ago when she was crowned the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (organised by Silver bird Productions). Since then, she has continued to dazzle us with her unique flamboyance!
Meanwhile, the Queen of Hearts is seriously working on her own line of beauty products, hoping to start manufacturing them in Epe (Lagos) where she acquired a large expanse of land. Since she sold her Skin Deep many years ago, she has been strategising on a big comeback, business-wise.
