Hope you are not too busy? If yes, then come with us to the newly completed wondrous haven of showbiz couple, Tunde and Wunmi Obe. Neatly tucked inside Justice G.B.A Coker Estate, off Obafemi Awolowo Way, in Ikeja, Lagos, it is sitting pretty on two plots of land. TWO, as the celebrated duo is widely known, had their maximum comfort in mind when they embarked on the gigantic project. No half measures, no cutting of corners. Only the best, the very best was settled for by them in terms of everything. Beginning from the exotic fence, even a blind man can see that good money and attention were devoted to that. Swathed in granite and tiles and stones and cement, with colours cream and a darker shade chosen, the security house is also beautiful. Beside the inviting interior, the security men from Corporate Guards, also have an air-conditioner to relax their brain, an LCD television set to keep them abreast of happenings in the world and a CCTV to detect and flush out miscreants and enemies of progress easily.
Now, inside the compound. The dog house is on the right – and it parades different breeds of wild dogs. Not too far from it is the power house inhabited by a Mikano generator. Yes, that type that doesn’t make any noise. Still inside the compound – there is a play house for the children; well equipped. Beside it is the TWO Studio, where more and more hits like Adupe will soon resurrect from. Very close to that is the TWO Swimming Pool. By the way, nearly everything in this mansion has the TWO insignia on them. A modern water-filtering section is also at the back, and not too far away from the Boy’s Quarters. The BQ has well arranged and air-conditioned rooms for the cooks, maids, et al.
Enough of the outside. Let’s now move inside. But before then, there is a car pad housing the latest Toyota Prado jeep which the couple just acquired. There are also other cars resting inside their car port, on the right. Suspending the house are the four pillars of joy and happiness and progress and prosperity. The door ushering both the home owners and their visitors in is bullet proof. Just thought you should know that and also register it in your memory. Then, the waiting room and the rest room. Both are tastefully furnished with chandeliers where necessary. The main sitting room and the second one. Also sumptuously arranged. The TWO Bar, where nearly all the drinks you can think of, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are neatly stacked. The sound system here can also compete favourably with that of some clubs. Beside it is the TWO Library. Awesome! Awesome!!
The kitchen is not far from it, thus making your dashing there to bite something after reading for hours so easy. There’s a staircase leading to the rooms upstairs. Sweetly rugged, another waiting room is also upstairs, in case you want to relax after climbing the stairs. Plus a TV to steer you away from boredom. The Obes have three children. All their rooms are upstairs, like that of their parents. Different colours like blue, green, etc were chosen for their furnishing. However, if you want to have a taste of heaven, step into Tunde and Wunmi Obe’s sweet, spacious and sumptuous bedroom. Men! The room is so, so beautiful.
Tunde and Wunmi Obe, it would be recalled, started out living in Gowon Estate, Egbeda, Lagos. From there, they moved to Cornerstone Estate, opposite Marwa Gardens, in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos. Now, they have a super house of their own. On how they came about the lovely design, Tunde confided in a friend that it was during the days of Zoom Time ¬– that as he moved from one Government House to another, one important person’s house to another, he was picking up ‘little – little ideas’. Now he’s merged all of them to give him the wondrous haven he has now. But not without God’s support, of course – which is actually the ultimate.
