Inside Nike's Pattaya


Adenike 38, suddenly collapsed last saturday in London. Seriously Doughnuts had lunch at Nike's  Pattaya Thai Restaurant during Arise Fashion Week and we were truly impressed with Nike's fantastic restaurant, the food, the deco, the ambience and customer service which were all a true testament to Adenike's hardwork and expertise. She was indeed a pride to women in business.

Funeral details to be updated soon. Aderonke Ogundoyin-Ayanbadejo was laid to rest on Monday the 12th of September at Islington Cemetery. We are deeply saddened by her death and pray that God will grant her husband, children and family the fortitude to bear her loss. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

  3. Omg. How sad. First met her years ago when I had a party for my children at her restaurant. It was called by another name, and then I saw her in Accra last year and she was so sweet. Really sad. RIP.

  6. Nike, may God rest your soul. I was at your dads funeral in the early 90s and he was indeed a great man. I cannot fathom why you had to go join him so young, so soon but God knows best.

  8. Really sad. We grew up together in Ibadan. She was the daughter of the late millonaire - chief Adeseun Ogundoyin. Like her dad, she also had the SS gene. I'm glad she was able to leave a family behind because the SS crisis is no fun at all. Cute little thing back then..she was miss ISI.

    May her soul rest in peace and may God continue to be with her loved ones and us all. Amen.

    Olu.
