Kehinde Adegbite, popularly
known as Mallam Yankee as well as the Jagaban of entertainment has added
another year.
Like it has always been,
Mallam Yankee who is the CEO of the Bank Club Abuja will be hosting
different celebrities at the Bank Club in Abuja as he marks his birthday this
Saturday, 18 Feb. 2016.
The Saturday premium
banking at the club will be dedicated to his birthday event. The birthday
celebration that has already started literally shut down the ATM lounge just in
front of The Bank on Monday.
Yankee has equally
disclosed that a Novelty football match was being put together in celebration
of his birthday. ‘’ Team Yankee will be slogging it out with CKSC at the
Millennium Park on Sunday, the 19th of February. Time is 4pm-6pm. I’m
celebrating because I’m alive and doing just fine,’’ he said.
While commenting on Mallam
Yankee’s birthday, his publicist, Ali Adoyi said, ‘’The name,
Mallam Yankee rings a bell across the country today, not only that he has
created a unique brand, but has carved for himself a niche, and taken a road
many entertainers can hardly go. Despite being a goal-getter, the risks he
takes while doing his job is unprecedented.
‘’Mallam Yankee, is not
only a social engineer who has transformed nightlife across the country, but a
redesigner of investment. His investment in talents across the entertainment
world is an obvious redefinition of selfless investment for the purpose of
societal growth. This is why many Nigerian artistes were able to cross to the
other side through him.
‘’The entertainment
renaissance in Abuja after a long dark era has further justified the title of
Jagaban of entertainment bestowed on this humble son of Adegbite.
''The transformation of
nightlife in the city of Owerri, Imo State and other states across the country
that had initially witnessed minimal patronage in entertainment has further
justified the fact that nation building cuts across different facets of life.
Indeed, Mallam Yankee is a nation builder.
‘’Having partnered to set
up one of the best clubs in Africa, The bank, in Abuja, Mallam Yankee went
further to put up another magnificent one in the city of Owerri, and named it
Illusion. This is aside the launching of artists into the entertainment
industry at various events.
‘’As an employer of labour
who has engaged several young people in all his investments, Mallam Yankee is
known to be one of the few contributing positively to the nation's economy.
‘’The CEO, The Bank club,
has undoubtedly taken the road many have refused to take. He has found water in
the desert, and has made the desert attractive to many who had undermined it.
''He is now shouldering the
responsibility of Opa William’s Nite of a Thousand Laugh due to his experience
and tenacity in the entertainment industry,’’ Adoyi said.
