Her name instantly rings a bell within the Lagos social circle. Just mention Bisket anywhere and many people will tell you they know her. Bisket is the name of her supermarket on Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos. But her real name is Bisi Dan-Musa. She is now a Reverend. Apart from running her well stocked supermarket, she is fully into church work and spends her time taking care of her over 22 adopted children. This pretty woman is 60. She turned 60 recently. Ask anyone who has lived in the Ikeja area of Lagos, in the 80s and 90s and you would be told about this leading celebrity woman. She is one of the oldest landlords on Allen Avenue and all the other society women defer to her. She is rich and generous And over the years she has touched many lives, both young and old. She was the darling of the media in those good old days and anything she did then made big news. Before she became a born again Christian, she was a Muslim. Then she got the call in the 80s and got born again. She set up a church, Rabbi Ministries and embarked on taking destitutes off the streets. She reformed many of them. She was Bisi Shaba before she got married to Alhaji Dan Musa. She spent 17 years with Alhaji Shaba and another 19 with Alhaji Dan Musa before she opted out of the marriage. Now, she is single. For years, she has been adopting less priviledged children and training them like her own. But sometime in 2003, she ran into stormy waters when the police intercepted a bus conveying some of her adopted kids from Ilorin, in Kwara to Lagos. She was accussed of child trafficking by the Lagos State Government. It was a big issue then, but Bisket told the government she had genuine intentions towards the kids. After a protracted trial, the kids were eventually released to her. Today, many of them have grown up and have become graduates, whilst others are in various Universities all over the country. After the incident, she shunned limelight and recoiled into her shell. She has kept a low profile since the issue which the law courts found to be untrue. Has anything changed about her? A lot. She has started a new life. She now lives in Lekki. A few years back, she bought a twin duplex in Lekki. What gave her the headstart was the support she got from her late mum, Mrs. Christiana Alaba Okeowo, (alias Alagbalawura). She was a wealthy Lace merchant at the Gutter market, in those good old days. Her father, late Mr. Zacheous Adekoya Okeowo, from Ijebu-Ode, was a 1st Republic politician who was in the thick of the Wild Wild West in those crazy days in Western Region. When she turned 60 recently, her daughters, plus grandchildren hosted a grand party for her. The interesting thing is that she does not look her new age, she has managed to maintain her ravishing beauty that made her one of the most beautiful ladies on the social scene in the late 70s.
