For some time now Banana island Ikoyi has been the destination of choice for Nigerians who want to show off their wealth and status. It is one of the most expensive and exclusive residential areas of Nigeria and Africa as a whole. But that status is about to change if everything goes as planned by a secretive Nigerian real estate developer, Deji “Dodo” Ajinomoto. The developer, who is in his early twenties spoke exclusively to Sataya reporters about his plans, how he made his money and other social concerns. In his own words he said, ” I have always hated banana. As a child growing up, I prefered eating plaintain or dodo, thats why my friends call me “Dodo”. Asked if that is why he named this new development Plaintain Island, he simply smiled and said “Yes na”.
