Ever since he ascended the throne of his forefathers as the Arole Oodua, HIM Ooni Enitan Ogunwusi has promised to move the Yoruba race forward placing it on the world map politically and economically. In his last five years of reign, the Yoruba race has witnessed tremendous changes in unity. The youthful monarch has also impacted his immediate environment positively, extending it beyond the Yoruba jurisdiction.

One of such was in the wake of the global pandemic, Ooni Ogunwusi proffered herbal solutions that can help curb the effect of the virus using natural herbs, roots, and tree leaves. To cushion the effect of the virus and also reduce the spreading, he donated several modular fumigators and sanitisers to different state governments within the country.

In his quest to ignite the Yoruba culture and tradition from going into extinction, he resuscitated and rebranded the annual Aje Festival, Olojo Festival, and other festivals that have been abandoned over the years by giving it maximum exposure. Before he became king, he was an entrepreneur with track records of business success. He has his hands on many chains of business from real estate, oil, and gas, entertainment to mention a few.

BILLIONAIRE businessman Femi Otedola has many strengths and successes. He also has his likes – among them entertainment – but he is a terrible dancer.

In celebration of his wife Nana’s birthday during the week, he attempted to show some dance steps. Looking at the short video, it will be hard for one to control his or her laughter. While the businessman didn’t do justice to the dance steps, it was a rare moment of comic relief demonstrated by him.

This also gives a clearer picture of why Otedola doesn’t dance at public functions. He seems to know his weakness and he tries to avoid showing it publicly.

However, he has not allowed his poor dancing skills to affect his love for entertainment. Rather, he supports his three daughters who have shown interest in entertainment. Tolani is a singer, Florence is a disc jockey known as DJ Cuppy and Temi is into fashion.
