Soccer star, Taye Taiwo, has a beautiful home in Festac Town, Lagos that you just have to see. Situated on 400 Road, the storey building parades two unmistakable black gates and also two beautiful pillars. Surrounded by an electric fence, there are lights everywhere, which makes the house a beauty to behold at night.
Well paved and enhanced with flowers, a peep into the compound revealed some exotic automobiles like Chrysler, G-Wagon Benz and Range Rover neatly tucked inside a car port.

Three of his blood relations, two guys and a girl, live in the house and also take care of it."
A quiet and neat neighborhood with the roads tarred and security okay, other known people who also live on 400 Road are Pastor Lazarus Muoka of the Lord Chosen Church, Mr. Ayeni Yusuf, a former director with Nigerian Breweries, General John Shagaya, former Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Ingram Osigwe, MD, Full Page Communications, Chief Leo Okafor, former chairman, Alaba Traders Association and his brother, Dennis, owner of Rochester Hotel.

But before that, he had played for clubs like Lobi Stars, Gabros FC, Marsielle, Milan, Queen’s Park Rangers and Dynamo Kyev. He also laces his boots for Nigeria’s Super Eagles – although he’s not among those invited for the World Cup in Brazil.
