Controversial Lagos socialite and nightlife entrepreneur, Mike Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, has disclosed that he spent over N100 million renovating his nightclub, Proxy Lagos,
following months of closure after a raid by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
Speaking with journalists at the club, Pretty Mike said the renovation project became necessary to reposition the business and improve the overall experience for customers after the shutdown period.
According to him, the nightclub remained closed for about nine months, a situation he described as financially and emotionally challenging for both him and members of his team.
“I spent over N100 million renovating the club. After everything that happened, I felt there was a need to rebuild and create something even better for people who support my business,” he said.
The nightlife entrepreneur explained that despite the prolonged closure, he was able to stay afloat through multiple income streams and support from family members and business associates.
“The brand, Pretty Mike, is always making money. That is what has kept me afloat regardless,” he stated.
Pretty Mike revealed that beyond nightlife, he is actively involved in construction and real estate businesses, where he builds and sells properties.
“I have a construction firm. I’m also slightly into real estate where I build and sell properties. Then, of course, there’s family support. People feel safe investing with me because they know I’m not the type to disappear,” he added.
He further noted that the credibility he has built over the years has encouraged many people to invest in his projects and businesses.
