His Royal Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, Ojaja II, has become a household name not only in traditional preoccupations but also in business interests.
He does not only stand out hugely among business moguls in his country Nigeria, but also in Africa, his continent. Reason? The elitist monarch has created diverse staggering business outfits in different parts of the country and established himself strongly so much that he stands out like a colossus in business empires.
His destiny and dreams resonated with business right from childhood so much that even after he became a king, he continued to fulfil the dreams and now waxes strong in diverse business endeavours.
With the spectrum of businesses that he has so far established with thrilling results, it is crystal clear that he has a business empire.
Ooni’s business horizons transcend education, agriculture, technology, banking, tourism, property, real estate and several others with remarkable excellence and benefits.
As an industrialist, the monarch has revolutionized the Nigerian industry in manifold proportions, with several of his business outfits spread across different parts of the country, particularly the South West.
With his business interests, Oba Adeyeye has touched souls by putting food on people’s tables, as his business outfits have generated employment for an appreciable number of youths as well as adults.
Suffice it to say that the Ooni is not only a key role player in industrialisation but has also continued to contribute immensely to the economic development of the country.
If the names of business moguls are to be written for record purpose, the name, His Royal Majesty, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Arole Oduduwa, would be written in gold.
For a time immemorial, his name has already entered into the Guinness Book of Records, following his giant strides in industrialisation, medium and small scale businesses as well as his generous impacts on humanity.
As a selfless figure whose passion is to make life meaningful to people, Oba Adeyeye offers opportunities to people through which they access his business benefits to fulfil his dreams of adding value to humanity.
His determination to do things with a difference has largely contributed to his successes since he ascended the throne as the Ooni of Ife nine years ago.
The Arole Oduduwa, as he is fondly called, remains steadfast in all his preoccupations driven by his passion for his people.
He is blessed with a repertoire of knowledge and wisdom as the custodian of Yoruba culture and tradition. Little wonder he has remained one of the most influential monarchs in Nigeria.
Before he ascended the throne, he had been a top shot in property and real estate, with a lofty vision to become the best real estate company owner in Nigeria, Africa and beyond. He was among business magnates who revolutionised the country’s industry with huge successes.
Although his position as a king may have slowed down the pace of his business speed to some extent, he continues to wax strong in his business engagements and has become one of the most renowned business moguls in the country.
This is a testament that his royal status does not stop him from pursuing and realising his business dreams.
Apparently, the monarch has been actualising his lofty ideas in business interests so much that he has invested billions of naira in retail shopping outlets with his trademark Ojaja Mall across the South-western states, such as Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun and Lagos.
A reliable source told D’Gallery that the highly revered king has also investments in tertiary education, particularly with Ojaja University, located in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The institution is said to be one of the most preferred universities by parents, children and wards in the country.
It is poised to produce globally competitive and entrepreneurially savvy human resources as solution providers who could also emerge as future leaders and employers of labour.
The ivory tower is also being developed as a global centre of excellence in cultural studies and renaissance.
A few weeks ago, Oba Adeyeye expanded his business empire with the launch of Tingo Cola brands. The set of drinks was launched in Lagos to the admiration of all with a lot of remarkable razzmatazz and fanfare. Scores of consumers gave him kudos for the initiative.
Although only two out of nine variants were launched, D’Gallery gathered from a spectrum of marketers that the brands have the potentialities to give their competitors a run for their money.
