Controversial Lagos socialite and nightlife king Mike Eze-Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike of Lagos, has openly admitted to having multiple girlfriends while declaring his strong desire to settle down into marriage and fatherhood.
In a frank interview with The Nation, the flamboyant businessman and club owner revealed he is actively looking forward to finding a wife, describing marriage as a major achievement and the full definition of manhood.
“I have plenty of girlfriends. I’m not married. I am also looking forward to having a wife. I tell men that if you are not married, you haven’t ascertained the full definition of manhood… There’s nothing as beautiful as a man and woman getting married and having kids. I look forward to having a wife and kids.”
The socialite, known for his headline-grabbing stunts and thriving nightclub business, reflected on the importance of marriage while acknowledging his current lifestyle. Despite enjoying the company of many women, he expressed readiness to transition into a committed family life.
Pretty Mike rose to fame after co-founding Club Uno Lagos and later establishing his own Proxy nightclub. His career has been marked by bold publicity stunts, collaborations with figures like Obi Cubana, and a high-profile NDLEA raid on his club in 2025 over alleged drug-related issues. He was eventually discharged and acquitted by the court.
