@Anon 10.03 PM- I agree with you. This Fernandez man is so weird- where did all that money come from??? I have heard something about rituals.....
Who is he?...
The billionaire African diplomat Antonio Deinde Fernandez.
The Central African Republic’s ambassador to the United Nations travels across the world in one of six private jets and enjoys being chauffeured around in a pink Rolls-Royce. When dining out, he takes over the entire restaurants to avoid encountering riffraff.
A Yoruba tribal chief, his family motto is "agbomeji kii momi nikoto", meaning "two rams cannot drink from the same bucket".
Ambassador Fernandez,has a luxurious home in New York and Edinburgh.
Ambassador Fernandez is a prominent businessman and has been described as one of the richest men in Africa.
Ovation International, the African equivalent of Hello! magazine, described him as the "guardian of panache and prosperity" and was so pleased to secure a photo shoot with him that it spread the feature over 40 pages.
The magazine said: "Renowned and well-known around the globe, the tall, dark and refined man of commerce and diplomacy is an embodiment of good form, surrounding himself with exquisite things only money can buy."
A graduate of Columbia University, Ambassador Fernandez insists on travelling in style and his private jets are said to be furnished with every possible convenience. His fortune is said to be based on exports of bauxite, oil and diamonds.
His home in New York is a well-fortified island with all the services of a small town, including a fire station.
In his native Lagos Island, he has built a tower named after himself.
Alongside business interests, Ambassador Fernandez has a diplomatic career stretching back to 1966 and is the Central African Republic’s UN representative. He is on first-name terms with several world leaders, doubles as the republic’s deputy minister of foreign affairs, and is head of the oil company Petro-Inett.
But his career has not been without controversy. The ambassador has a long track record of unconventional business deals in Africa and is said to have made powerful enemies.
In 1989, he tried, unsuccessfully, to use his diplomatic immunity to prevent his former American wife from being awarded title to the couple’s 4 million estate in New York as part of a divorce settlement.
The wrangle went as far as the Oval Office, with former President George Bush being briefed on the appeal.
Earlier this year, Ambassador Fernandez threatened to sue the decorating firm Ogilvie J Rolland after it posted pictures of the work it had done on his Edinburgh property on its website

Now u knw who is he....
Efico...na you write his biography or are you related to da man. No ya mak einadd mine own... You forgot to mention that he really made his money by selling arms. He was, and I believe still, a major arms dealer...he started even before the Nzeribes of the world opened their eyes to the money in that business. He also had one of the largest divorce settlements in the Uk.
Hmnnn u do well for dis ur enlightenment .... Make I no go blow grammer! Well I am speechless I dnt knw abt yall
Saw him earlier this yr. He's just enjoying his money outside Nigeria. He's weirdly cool, i like to describe him as a typical Nigerian who was not at all supposed 2 b Nigerian in the 1st place. really hard to explain his kind lol
hmmm never ever heard of him. Please I am looking to land an unknown quiet billionaire. How do I go about it. So is this guy spanish, yoruba or hausa? does he have kids
Choi u go fear nau! See how d first pikcho be like one ogboni cult pikcho. Lol
Who cares?
What has he done 4 nigerians? Dis is so old school trying to pose with your overbloated and sick ego 4 us. Abeg go pack well jor with ur smelly oGboni money!!
Fernadez owns a diamond well outside Nigeria, This i read. This man had been rich long time ago but chose to invest outside the shore of Nigeria. Reasons best known to him!
The guy is a confirm member of Ogboni Reformed Confraternity (ORC).
Dele Momodu's customer.
Wizard... Ritualist... Diplomat... Whatever he is, being a billionaire, what jobs has he created in Nigeria??? Or even charity organization???
@annoynmous. 02.25pm u must definitely write a book about d man !

Ambassador Dehinde Fernandez, a confirmed member of the reformed Ogboni fraternity.
Na wa o
Jst a line from Akon's ghetto "no need to cherish luxuries coz everytin come n go,even d life u hv is borrowed coz u r not promised of tomoro".but money good ooo....lol
_Neni
His yacht is called Yemoja, go and figure. That's his Mummy.
Is he from Nigeria or Africa..ds cv is weighty...it is well.
Chei bin ages I heard dat name.read bout him in d popular ovation feature yrs ago.him nd his houses nd luxury thingys.used to hav one white wife/extremely yellow lady.dis halima must be a recent development
Former husband of erelu abiola dosumu.
Are those cats real? I never understand why people keep wild animals. Some disaster always happens
Those are the kind of animals that Tonto should have used in her shoot
He denies ever being married to Erelu Dosunmu o! They were partners at some point and have a love child - a girl.
E be like say he is one of those blacks who will sell their fellow men to the westerners for money (think old slave trade). He reeks of blood diamonds, arms, etc. I wonder who made him ambassador sef. His influence even reach the UK Royal Family.

"But his career has not been without controversy. In 1984 he hit the headlines in Swaziland when the parliament tried to question his appointment as roving ambassador with the rank of deputy finance minister. After being ordered by the royal family not to intervene, MPs dropped the issue."
Re_Erelu, he denied the girl she claims she had for him.
Screw him and his money...fucking old school-bloodmoney-white man wannabe...
Anyone with an ounce of sense (and a few Euros) would get out of Kano. Nigeria is the last place on earth to CHOOSE to live, you go there make money and get out.
The man is African and proud. What is wrong with being Ogboni? We like hypocrisy and condemning what is indigenous to us.Japanese, India, China were also colonised but they stuck to their religion and culture. Today they are world powers. We chose to be copy cats and we are not getting any where. Today one of the borrowed religion is being used to swindle the poor masses all in the name of properity even when enabling environment dont exist. The other has virtually been hijacked by a murderous sect that has no value for any ones life. The earlier we rediscover ourselves, appreciate our culture and embrace growth of home grown technology the better for us all.
A lot of tinz iu guyz ave said.Anyway....He has money buh it could just be clean or otherwise.who knows?
He was married to Erelu Abiola Dosumu. If you need evidence there are pictures to prove it ( go and do your research properly before making such comments).
There is nothing wrong with being rich and knowing how to spend your money! unlike the typical Nigerians that we see these days who think the the brighter the colour the better.
Get a LIFE! stop writing such hateful things about my father just because youre uninformed. He has worked hard for his money & loves his family. As all men should. Go do something else with your spare time instead of hating on a wonderful man.
Laughin @ abimbola.u cant blame dem. Ur pop sawgga is too much.imagine al d lion and ogboni wrapper.it was wit him i saw the 1st bigger boy walking stick.he seems controvertial though.but he is ur dad.

Be it blood money nor water,money is money.Make ur own.
People should stop hating.. If someone works for his wealth and takes care of his fam, the person should be respected not despised. If anyone here feels envious the best thing to do,would be to re-evaluate urself and ur beliefs. And then go work for your own fortune.
