DB@50: Dayo Badmus Shifts 50th Birthday, Chieftaincy Installation to November 15
The much-anticipated DB@50 celebration in honour of celebrity journalist and Publisher of Lagos News Today, Dayo Badmus, has been shifted from Saturday, November 14, to Sunday, November 15, 2026.
The Chairman of the Planning Committee, Mr. Taofeek Afolabi, announced the change, attributing the adjustment to circumstances beyond the control of the committee.
The celebration is a three-in-one event, featuring Badmus’ 50th birthday celebration, the conferment of a traditional chieftaincy title, and the launch of his book, The 25 Laws of FAME.
As part of the ceremony, the Orile-Ifo monarch, HRM Oba Adewale Ogunjobi, is expected to confer on Badmus the prestigious traditional title of BAAROYIN of Orile-Ifo Kingdom.
According to Afolabi, the change of date has already been formally communicated to the palace of the royal father to ensure seamless coordination of the traditional installation and other activities lined up for the celebration.
The chieftaincy installation will commence at 11:00 a.m. at the Palace of the Olorile of Orile-Ifo, while the birthday celebration and book launch will follow at 1:00 p.m. at Galaxy Hall on Sunday.
Afolabi expressed regret over the change and apologised to invited guests, dignitaries and other stakeholders who may have made arrangements based on the earlier date.
He appealed for their understanding and continued support, assuring guests that the committee remained committed to delivering a memorable and befitting celebration in honour of Badmus.
The planning committee consequently urged all invited guests to take note of the new date and make the necessary adjustments to their schedules.
