The Agege Boy That Built $400Million Company. He Was Also A Hawker

Dressed in a simple Polo T-Shirt on a Friday evening, Sijibomi Ogundele, Nigeria’s youngest Billionaire and Luxury Real Estate Czar, can be seen on the Lucrezia project site, in the prestigious Banana Island neighbourhood, inspecting the work done and ensuring every ‘i’ is dotted and every ‘t’ is crossed. No one would have thought that this man, who is currently worth billions, was once a Souvenir hawker in France and also did alabaru for his trader Mum in Africa’s most populous market - Oke-Arin, where he was nurtured by enterprising Igbo Traders, which ignited his passion for business.
Growing up in the slum of Agege, as a little 8-year-old, Sijibomi’s first introduction to Entrepreneurship was when he started a bike business popularly called Okada business, from his little savings. Despite the usual African Parents’ disapproval, he drew inspiration from his mother’s
entrepreneurial spirit and grew his Okada business from 1 to 6 motorcycles, a testament to his strong, resolute and resilient business mind.
A rose that grew from concrete, Mr. Ogundele who is only 39 has built his company, Sujimoto Group, in just 5 years, into a Luxury Construction behemoth, focused on building extraordinary edifices in premium neighbourhoods of Ikoyi and Banana Island. With an annual revenue of approximately $30 Million and many other pending projects, Mr. Ogundele believes Sujimoto group is worth over $400 Million. His look may be modest but his ambition belies his modesty. After a chanced encounter with the King of Dubai who pushed his ambitious project - LorenzoBySujimoto, from 15 storey building to a 30 storey building, reminding him that; “To be second is to be last! If people in their 30’s are building 5000 units annually in Asia, 75 units shouldn’t scare you.

ENDY THERE IS NO SUCCESSFUL MAN/WOMAN IN THIS LIFE WITHOUT A HELPING HAND SOMEWHERE..
THE POINT IS THAT SOMEONE HELPED HIM TO WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW..
IF IT WAS TO BE BY HARD WORK ALONE TRUST ME A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL..
NOTWITHSTANDING HARD WORK PAYS WHEN THERE IS A DESTINY HELPER!
