Nigerian billionaire businessmen and top oil players, Adewale Tinubu, and Omamofe Boyo’s long-standing friendship and partnership needs to be studied. The friendship, which has spanned close to four decades, started during their formative years as they went around in a bid to make ends meet on the streets of Lagos.
The bond that exists between both was planned with a solid foundation of love, brotherhood and respect. These three indices have kept them going and have made them an unbreakable duo which has metamorphosed into one of the most prominent business duos in Nigeria.

It was gathered that, though they have had moments of disagreement, they have stayed together largely due to the mutual respect they have for each other. In many ways, they are head and shoulders above many of their competitors in the industry, owing to their brilliance and uncommon business acumen. Together they have weathered bad storms, surmounted huge mountains and swarmed across several seas.
When they teamed up in 1994 to set up Ocean and Oil Services Limited to supply diesel and Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) to various industries, shipping firms and exploration companies in Nigeria, they probably had no idea that a few years down the line, their humble investment would grow to become a multinational conglomerate worth billions of dollars spread across African countries.
Last week, Boyo marked his birthday and his partner cum friend, Tinubu spared nothing to celebrate his friend to high heaven. Tinubu described Boyo as a wingman and brother while wishing him more years on earth as they continued to build a legacy.
