The former Super Eagles striker has turned his attention to luxury and lifestyle, launching a new high-end Italian-themed nightclub, Cosa Nostra Patron, in Victoria Island, Lagos, reportedly worth over ₦800 million.
His new venture, located in the heart of Lagos’ buzzing nightlife district, is already redefining what it means to party in style.
Obafemi Martins is building a nightlife empire
Martins’ legacy in football is well documented as the prolific striker featured in Europe’s top four leagues, turning out for major clubs like Inter Milan, Newcastle United, Wolfsburg, Rubin Kazan, and Levante.
With 42 caps and 18 goals for the Super Eagles, Martins was consistent and profitable, earning a fortune throughout his career.
Rather than rest on his laurels, the former Inter Milan forward invested heavily in real estate, with prime properties across Lagos, including VGC, Lekki’s Chevy View Estate, Ikoyi, and Victoria Island. He also owns an estate in Como, Italy, and a thriving fashion line in the U.S.
Now, through 143 Entertainment, Martins has ventured into lifestyle and nightlife, a fast-growing sector in Nigeria's urban economy.
Italy comes to Lagos in Cosa Nostra Patron
Martins’ latest luxury project is Cosa Nostra Patron, an upscale Italian-themed nightclub located in Victoria Island.
Co-founded under the 143 Entertainment brand, the club is modelled after the elite clubs of Milan and Rome, combining modern elegance with traditional Italian charm.
The club has a sleek, contemporary design, premium lighting, exclusive bottle service, and a curated music experience.
It is a place where Nigeria’s wealthy and trendy come to unwind, celebrate, and enjoy high-end entertainment.
The estimated ₦800 million investment covers not only the construction and design but also its state-of-the-art technology, decor, and staff training to ensure world-class service.
