Former Billionaire, Godwin Anabor Goes Broke, Turns Popular Taxi Driver At Ikeja (Photos)

The twist and turns of life you may say. For those who recall how he rocked the party scenes and how his name was an anthem on the lips of the then reigning musicians like Oliver de Coque, Shina Peters and others, this might hit them as a surprise, but the reality is that things have changed and the then billionaire, Godwin Anabor is now a ‘common’ taxi driver.

Operating incognito, Anabor uses a Toyota Camry (tiny light) for this and usually resumes his activities around 1 am when fewer eyes will be on him. His take off point is the popular Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos.

Some of those who used to know him in his hey days are so sad and shocked by the way he ended up. They blamed bad marriage and drugs for his down fall. A native of Fugar in Edo State, Anabor, when the going was good, was residing inside Moshood Abiola Crescent, off Toyin Street, in Ikeja, Lagos.

Unlike in the days of old when it was some of the most expensive drinks. A shadow of his old self, he practically begs now and depends on his Kabukabu to survive.
