How Love Tamed Sonny Kuku at 75…


Like an ancient mariner whose heartbeat dwarfs echoes of his incredible exploits, Ijebu-born business mogul, Oloorogun Sonny Kuku, commands the awe of many of his peers and admirers in Nigeria’s high society. Sonny Kuku, joint chief medical director, Eko Hospitals, is one of the triumvirate that established the highly successful hospital.

Dr. Kuku clocked 75 some days ago. But to the dismay of his friends and family, the astute businessman didn’t roll out the drums in an elaborate manner. He has reportedly shunned several overtures made to him by members of his family to celebrate his birthday in a grand manner. Hitherto known for his loud and extravagant way of life, the veteran socialite is letting go his old ways, preferring to fritter a few naira on only important celebrations like the wedding ceremony of his children. With his new wife, a former beauty queen, Susan Hart, Sonny is in the seventh heaven.
