Flamboyant royal father, Saheed Elegushi, is a typical member of the Nigerian kingly class. While most of his peers are content to sit on their vaunted stools and trade royal patronage with politicians for a few cowries, the young monarch is a visionary whose dreams encompass a circumference as wide as the world.
The unassuming monarch whose dominion includes the popular Elegushi Beach, has long nursed an ambition to own the biggest chicken farm in the whole of Africa. In furtherance of this lofty dream, the Elegushi of Ikateland has established a poultry farm somewhere in Epe, Lagos. Those who have seen it say it is bigger in size than many people’s ancestral villages.
The 40-year-old monarch is however keeping the news of the farm under wraps for now, perhaps because he does not want to boast until his investments have started bearing fruits.
