Drip T is rapidly becoming the name on everyone’s lips. He is gradually redefining the perspective of house parties, networking, social events and other gathering among Nigerian youths.
Born and raised in the city of Lagos, Drip T whose real name is Oluwatosin Solabi is making young lads understand that parties and gatherings of young people can be pristine without elements of kinkiness or sultry agenda that has since become the theme of several house parties in the country.
Out to make a difference, an EELive correspondent sat down with Drip T, the burgeoning life night aficionado and event planner. Dressed in a crispy white shirt and combat pair of trousers, Drip T regally walked into the session with EELive to communicate his objective for his organization and how he intends to influence the emerging generation with his approach to game and party events.

How Did You Develop Interest In Creating Nightlife/Parties Across Lagos State?
It’s funny how it all started. My birthday is in January, and I usually plan a birthday gathering to celebrate. At my last party, I got so many responses from people saying how much they enjoyed the games we played. They kept telling me I shouldn’t limit gatherings like that to just my birthday. That was my lightbulb moment—and that’s how Games with Drip T was born.

What Type of Parties Do You Do?
First things first: the game nights I plan aren’t the kind that starts with statements like, “We are all adults,” if you know what I mean.
The game nights my team and I organize are all about fostering genuine, in-person connections. We focus on creating an environment where people can truly engage with those around them without the distraction of mobile devices or gadgets. Our priority is ensuring everyone is having a great time and staying fully involved in the games.
Visions: What Do You Intend To Achieve With Your Nightlife Projects?
My goal is to create an environment where people can come, have fun, and stay fully engaged from the start of the event to the very end. Over time, I’ve noticed that attendees often lose interest at many events because the activities aren’t engaging enough. However, I’ve been able to achieve a consistent level of engagement with my community of gamers, ensuring they’re actively involved throughout.
What Are the Challenges of Hosting Games/Nightlife Events?
Where do I even begin? Hosting events in Lagos, regardless of the size, is not for the faint-hearted. I personally approach every event from an experience perspective, constantly asking myself, “If I were attending this event, what kind of experience would I want to have?” This mindset plays a huge role in curating my game nights.
That being said, I’m incredibly fortunate to have an amazing team—they’re the real MVPs! They make hosting my game nights much less challenging than it could be.
One major hurdle, though, is inflation. The ever-changing prices of things can pose significant challenges when planning, but we always find a way to make it work.
Conclusion- final words, upcoming projects, etc.
Thank you so much for this interview! I’d like to encourage other creative entrepreneurs out there to keep pushing forward. By His grace, doors will open up for you.
As for my next Games with Drip T event, it’s coming up in the first quarter of the year. My team and I are still finalizing a few details, but the date will be announced as soon as everything is confirmed.
