Encomium
Niger Delta businessman behind the 911 Group, Ayiri Emami loves cars so much that he has garnered a fleet of enviable luxury automobiles enough to start a mart.
From Rolls Royce Phantoms to BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lexus and Hummer, the onetime vice chairman and chairman of Delta State Waterways Security Committee, has them in his garage.
The dark-skinned Akulagba 1 of Warri (decorated by the Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse 11, on April 28, 2012) who came into prominence during Chief James Ibori’s reign as governor of Delta (1999 – 2007) also has a power-bike which would have set him back by millions of naira.
His December 25, 26 and 27, 2009 wedding to Asba brought his penchant for luxury automobiles to fore, when he bought two Rolls Royce Phantom marques.
And when his lavish country home near Warri (Delta) was completed (with a mini zoo, lawn tennis court and swimming pool), those who had access to his garage described almost a dozen luxury automobiles – from Lexus to BMW, and more.
His gift of a Rolls Royce Phantom Drop-dead ( put at about N75 million) to his wife on her birthday on Thursday, October 23, 2014, in far away Houston, Texas (USA), confirmed his obsession with luxury.
