  • All set for Shina Peller’s 40th birthday

    Shina Peller is not called the king of night life for no reason. Although he owns one of the most electrifying night clubs in Lagos, he earned the title for revolutionising the night club business in Lagos. It is no news that Peller is a party freak. And when he organises a bash, Lagos freezes and socialites marvel at the affluence and glamour on display.

    Another enormous big social event is brewing and Lagos is about to be rocked to its foundation. Peller, son of late Professor Abiola Peller, is set to slide into a new age with pump and ceremony that would not be forgotten in a hurry. In celebration of his 4th decade on earth, Peller is gearing up for an over-the-top shindig in Lagos and a glitzy party in London.

    Shina has every right to celebrate. After all, not every son of a great man has the persevering spirit needed to best his father’s attainments. Although his father was a famous magician who left big shoes behind, Shina knew early in life that to carve a niche for himself, he must not only try to be like his father but be better than him. And despite being called ‘the one with the magical hands’, Shina has refused to toe the path treaded by his father. While his late father struck fame through his magical prowess, the fair-complexioned proprietor of Aquila Oil and Gas directed his energy to business. Thus, alongside his oil business, he established Quilox, a night club, bar and restaurant on Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

    The event kicked off during the week with a novelty football match between Team Quilux and Team MTV Base in Lagos. The match was officiated by former Super Eagles and Bolton Wanders FC Captain, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, and the two teams featured major Nigerian artistes.

The event is said to be the biggest black tie event of the year.

    Shina Peller rubbishes rumour of red account

    Stories that Shina Abiola, popularly known as Shina Peller, has fallen on hard times may not be true after all. The intelligent businessman and owner Quilox Night Club on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos had shut down his state-of-the-art fun spot during the Ramadan period, sparking speculations that all was not well with his finances.

    It has since turned out that the closure was part of the planned renovation of the structure which has begun with the construction of a staircase from the ground floor to the VIP section. The shrewd businessman has also embarked on a staff auditing that left just two employees standing in each department.

    Shina Peller is hoping that the renovation would be complete before the end of August.

    Since Shina, a London-based businessman, opened the night club on Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, it has literally become a social terminus for night life freaks. The fun spot is swanky and relatively large, providing a cozy ambience with a kind of table setting that adds to its romantic theme.
