For Joseph Eze Okafor Jnr known within the social circle by the sobriquet Jowizaza, it’s not his fault for being born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. More reason he has ruled the social scene just like his father; John Okafor Snr. Head honcho of Jezco Oil who is an astute businessman, philanthropist and lifestyle connoisseur. Walking in the path of his father; Jowizaza is a delight to many within Nigeria’s social scene because of his flamboyant lifestyle, his flash automobiles and his deep pocket. The Anambra-born Billionaire heir has remained a socialite of high notes that is being romanced by many artists who love to sing his praises. If you have him attend your event; be sure it’s going to rain in foreign currency and in Naira. He is so generous that he spends like money is going out of fashion.
Despite his flashy lifestyle and his love to fun from the beach coast in the Bahamas to the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates and flying a Gulfstream private jet to Kessington in London; he loves his wine exotic and his automobile vintage. He is a man of style who loves to keep his few circles of friends and sometimes takes a hiatus to be on his own to strategize. For the Coventry-trained businessman, he sees wealth as God-given and more reason he spares no cost to give himself a treat knowing fully well that money can only be spent on planet Earth. If there is one thing he loves celebrating that would be his birthday. Over the week, the cosmopolitan socialite clocked another year and it was an opportunity to paint the town red. Instead of the usual jamboree where he would throw the regular massive soiree, giving out his best French-made champagnes and costliest Scottish Whiskey; Jowi opted to celebrate it in a new dimension in a modest but classy way. He wanted to give his creator thanks for the gift of life at a time when the dreaded grim Reaper is taking both the young and old on a sojourn of no return. On the occasion of his birthday, he converged with friends and close associates at his palatial maisonette in the highbrow area of Lagos where he invited Gospel maestro Mercy Chinwo to lead him in worship and praise songs in God’s presence. The birthday boy fully decked in his white shirt and black pants outfit was seen joyous as he sang along in the company of his close ally. The House Party also had those who were present the very best meal and high-cost drinks. Top Nollywood artists, comedians and businessmen were in attendance. Sources say the birthday boy equally put smiles on the faces of those in need as part of the activities marking his birthday.
