Wealthiest King in Africa, Oba Obateru Akinruntan, the Olugbo of Ugboland in Ondo State recently talked at length on his love for flashy things.
In this recent interview with City People, the bling bling king said he loves to wear expensive things. He also compared himself to the Queen of England in terms of material acquisition.
The Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom in Ondo state and chairman of Obat Oil, Oba Fredrick Obateru Akinruntan, made history last week as the first black person to buy the 2014 model of Bentley. The Oba didn’t just buy it, it was specially customized for him, according to sources close to him. The new ride, which arrived in Nigeria a few weeks back, has Olugbo as its plate number
Obateru said he now has a 7-door limousine and wears one million dollar wrist watch.
Hear Oba Akinruntan in his own words:
“First and foremost I am very creative and secondly, I emulate the style of our forefathers, wearing royal beads as an old style. You know these days, if you want to become a popular and flamboyant king, you have to use diamonds. Diamond chains, diamond wrist watches, diamond shoes,
diamond ring and my muffler is also made of diamond or gold. And that will make you unique among other Obas and that doesn’t make you proud. I like to be the first in everything. I have the largest oil tank in West Arica today. Again my chain of cars, I use the same type of automobile with the Queen of England, Queen Elizerbeth, we use the same Rolls Royce and Bentley. Asides that, I have 7 door limousine Mercedes, I want to be the first in everything.
“I also have a wrist watch that cost $1 million. Aside that I am a car freak and what I wear with the way I dress, my shoe, my royal diamond cap, wrist watches, diamond ring, and my diamond Mofila is the new thing I have added to it now. I do my shopping in London Jeweller, a special store for top ranking personalities of the world. I wear expensive wrist watches, shoes and chains all made of diamond”
