The self acclaimed king of night club, Abiola Adegoke, the manager director of Nu Grotto has finally relocated to Lagos to do what he enjoys doing most running his fun spot on the island popularly known as Nu Grotto.
Information available revealed that the club owner has shut the doors of the Nu Grotto branch at the once upon a time bubbling area of Maitama district in Abuja.
We learnt that the closure was a result of drastic drop in sales and revenue generation for the business which became a shadow of itself because the heavy spenders who were his major patrons have refused to patronize the city of Abuja again all in the fear of likely Boko Haram attack as it was a kind of tourist attraction for ministers, senators, ex-governors and big wig politicians that seek for fun.
With all these bombings and fear of threats happening in Abuja and the low patronage with high rent to incur for the club accommodation, Mr. Adegoke was smart enough to quit while it lasts and decided to come back to his Lagos base to re-brand his brain child fun spot, Nu Grotto located at Etim Inyang Crescent Victoria Island Lagos which he has successful run for many years before moving down to Abuja to create fun for the people in the city of power.
For those who are conversant with night clubbing, Nu Grotto will definitely strike a chord but what many fun seekers don’t really know is the real man that built the Nigerian club that has now been regarded as peak of clubbing in the entire nation.
Unlike others, Abiola Adegoke the man about town is one reserved and courageous man who believes that success comes through having a vision and pursuing it through hard work and unrelenting determination.
To the believe of many that says most cruel business men survive because of their mean attitude to business but those in the know divulged that he believes in sharing formula popularly known and ‘chop-I-chop’ and that has been one of the club growing secrets till today.
No wonder, in the spirit of making the business grow bigger, he has once parted away with some shares of the flourishing club empire, but the whole deal didn’t work out not because he couldn’t handle partnership but maybe the strategy to revamp the club as at that time didn’t just work out for best reasons known to him and his ex-partner.
Biola, as he’s fondly called enjoys moving around the club to make sure that the customers are well taken care of and often entertain his loyal customers over the years on his bills, as another way of giving back to his loyal customers.
More so, we gathered he has just opened a new club at the upper floor of Nu Grotto on the island called Rare Diamond, which was unveiled on Saturday December 15, 2012 with an all night black & white affair groove as part of his re-branding process and that the industry watchers suggest that he deserves an unsolicited and true award for his immense contribution to the industry, as a worthy club personality in Nigeria.
