    After struggling with stroke and finally trashing the ailment, Gloria Ibru, the  daughter of billionaire businessman, Micheal Ibru, is steadily recuperating from the dreadful malady and even got to celebrate her 50th birthday about a week ago at Wale Bite’s Billionaire Lounge, Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja, Lagos.

She has gone through a remarkable transformation burning off many kilogrammes in a few months, justifying the saying that anything can be achieved with confidence and determination.

    The magic lies in her very strenuous but rewarding exercise schedule. Intense as it is, Gloria keeps going, spurred by the desire to burn off the deadly calories that might be lurking anywhere in her body.

    But in the wake of her astounding reduction in size, a lot of stories are flying around that Gloria’s weight loss has nothing to do with exercise but a strange illness. If you have seen her lately, you would be endowed with a discerning heart not to believe the latter version.

    Gloria’s band, G-Notes, was once the toast of fun lovers, but there is a widely held belief now that the band is comatose.
