A world-famous society writer, Lanre Alfred, fed over 3000 Nigerians as he added a year today.

Loved by many and respected among his ilk alike, he is fondly called, ‘African Prince’ by his friends simply because he is truly a prince of royal parentage and packs a princely heart.

Lanre Alfred as a celebrity journalist, author and businessman and publisher of The Capital; an online publishing platform, was the former society editor and columnist at ThisDay Newspaper, author of five books and owner of Old English provision store with branches in Lagos.

Alfred, on his birthday and he is popularly known for, generously doled out many freebies to people.

Meanwhile, if not for COVID-19 pandemic, the man that writes about the intimate affairs of the rich, high and mighty of the society, would have painted the town red for his birthday because he has that pedigree and he calls all the shots when it comes to good partying.
