    Wale Tinubu wax stronger

    Jubril Adewale Tinubu CON, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Oando Plc, stands as a distinguished figure in Nigeria’s dynamic and expansive energy sector. His influence extends far beyond his role at Oando; he embodies a unique blend of audacity, strategic foresight, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation.

    To those familiar with the intricacies of Nigeria’s energy market, Tinubu’s illustrious career is marked not just by his leadership position but also by a remarkable ability to forecast trends and seize opportunities within a challenging landscape. He has garnered widespread respect as a visionary, a leader synonymous with resilience and intelligent risk-taking, whose impact resonates across various sectors and generations.

    Tinubu’s reputation is not merely built on business acumen but also stems from his entrepreneurial flair and innovative spirit, earning him a well-deserved place among an elite circle of business leaders whose legacies are both influential and inspirational. Unlike many who approach Africa’s economic prospects with caution, often clouded by uncertainty, Tinubu maintains a perspective of optimism and possibility, recognizing the immense potential that lies within the continent.

    Under his exemplary stewardship, Oando has evolved from a modest downstream player into one of Africa’s most formidable integrated energy firms. The company has expanded its operations to encompass exploration, production, power generation, and renewable energy, reflecting Tinubu’s holistic view of energy as a multi-faceted industry. At every opportunity, he emphasizes the critical need for Africa to harness its own abundant resources to chart its own course in the global economy.

    Tinubu’s strategic approach, guided by precision and impactful decision-making, has allowed Oando to adeptly navigate the complexities of global market fluctuations, regulatory challenges, and economic downturns, often with a remarkable level of discretion and composure. This proficiency has not gone unnoticed; since the beginning of 2025, he has received numerous accolades, including the Investor/Transaction of the Year 2024 at the New Telegraph Awards in Lagos. This honor was largely a recognition of Oando’s landmark $783 million acquisition of Agip Oil Company, a significant milestone completed in August 2024, widely regarded as one of the most impactful transactions in Nigeria’s economic landscape that year.

    His global influence was further emphasized when Oando emerged as the preferred bidder for the Trinidad refinery, showcasing the company’s expanding footprint in the international arena. Even in the face of challenges, such as a reported dip in revenue, Oando managed to achieve a $145 million profit in the first nine months of its 2025 fiscal year. This accomplishment stands as a strong testament to the disciplined strategies and resilient leadership that Tinubu embodies.

    Looking ahead, Oando’s recent announcement highlights Tinubu’s visionary strategy for the future: the company is diversifying into mining, concentrating on lithium and other minerals essential for the clean-energy transition. Oando has assembled an experienced team of geologists and commenced exploration activities across Nigeria, including a major initiative in Kebbi State. By the end of 2025, Oando plans to complete extensive field evaluations and identify a prime location for pilot lithium production.

    As global demand for rechargeable batteries continues to soar, driven largely by advancements in technology and the burgeoning electric vehicle market, Tinubu is positioning Oando to play a pivotal role in this imminent energy revolution. His admirers often describe him as a man with the clarity to envision the future. He is not only a strategist shaped by foresight but also a leader propelled by an unyielding belief in the potential of Africa.

Recently, this trailblazer and dedicated public servant has reached new heights, being appointed as an ambassador designate. Last weekend, she and her husband, Otunba Jackson Bent, she was honored during the celebration of the Igoke Agba festival, where they were installed as “Yeye Aare Arimuyanga of Oka Akoko” and Aare Amuyangan, respectively, by Oba Dr. Yusuf Adebori Adeleye, the revered king of Oka Akoko, who himself is 79 years old.

    Her election marked a significant milestone, as she became the first female senator in the northeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Furthermore, she holds the distinction of being the first female senator from northern Nigeria elected through marital affiliation, given that her husband, Jackson Bent, is a native of Adamawa State.

    Will Sujimoto bounce back?

    Sijibomi Ogundele, acclaimed as one of the most promising young leaders in the real estate sector over the past decade, has established himself as a formidable figure in luxury real estate with his brand, Sujimoto. Known for his keen insight and strategic foresight, Ogundele recognized the necessity of transforming Lagos’s skyline to rival emerging global cities like Dubai. This vision drove him to invest substantially in ambitious projects that many now describe as the “9th wonder of the world.”

    His developments, characterized by their ambitious designs and significant names, garnered attention from both local and international investors. As the projects began to materialize, a diverse clientele flocked to him, eager to invest. However, with his rapid ascent, detractors emerged, envious of his success. Despite numerous attempts to undermine him, Ogundele remained steadfast and resolute, weathering the challenges that came his way.

    Following the 2015 elections, Ogundele’s business faced a tumultuous phase as the devaluation of the Naira against the dollar thrust him into financial turmoil, accumulating substantial debt. Yet, displaying the prowess of a skillful sailor navigating stormy seas, he managed to keep his enterprise afloat, ensuring that all investors were paid and compensated fairly. The soaring prices of construction materials compounded his difficulties, creating a widening gap due to the fluctuating exchange rates. However, fortune smiled upon him with a second chance, allowing him to adapt and strive for recovery.

    Ogundele’s resilience was further tested during the Covid-19 pandemic, but he continued to maneuver through the challenging landscape. The subsequent government’s move to unify the exchange rate became a pivotal moment, pushing him to the brink as he struggled to import luxury materials for his tallest residential project in Ikoyi.

    The exorbitant costs coupled with unresolvable pricing differences plunged him into a crisis that threatened not only his business but his reputation as well.

    Nevertheless, Ogundele refused to succumb to despair; he fought tenaciously to navigate the harsh realities of the business environment.

    In an unexpected turn, he was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) due to an abandoned project with the Enugu state government regarding the construction of smart schools. Taking control of his narrative, he addressed the public online, explaining the reasons behind the project’s abandonment. In a show of accountability, he voluntarily surrendered to the EFCC for investigation.

    Much like a cat blessed with nine lives, Ogundele has demonstrated a remarkable ability to rise from setbacks and continue pushing forward, determined to leave the past behind. Many have expressed curiosity regarding his potential for recovery, but close sources reveal his unwavering spirit as a fighter. He firmly believes that success is achieved through relentless perseverance, echoing his commitment to overcoming obstacles and emerging stronger in the face of adversity.

  • On Ezra Olubi’s nemesis

    On Ezra Olubi’s nemesis

    If a soothsayer had predicted that Ezra Olubi, the Co-founder of Paystack, would find himself embroiled in such a dilemma, he would have dismissed the notion with fervent disbelief. The reality of the situation, however, underscores the unforeseen repercussions of his past actions. In his youth, Ezra was known for making cryptic, often provocative posts on social media, particularly regarding his colleagues and even minors woven with sexuality. While some viewed these as harmless attempts at humor or mere youthful exuberance, others argued that such behavior should not be taken lightly and warranted closer scrutiny.

    The turning point came when allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced online. In response, Paystack announced a two-week suspension of Ezra while an internal investigation was conducted. As the days progressed, a flurry of tweets and images began to emerge, showcasing his previously troubling posts. This ignited a firestorm of outrage on social media, with many users calling for his immediate dismissal from the company to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all individuals involved.

    Weeks passed, and as the investigation continued, Paystack ultimately decided to terminate Ezra’s contract, relieving him of his duties as Chief Operating Officer. The decision sent shockwaves through the tech community, raising questions about accountability and the power of social media in shaping narratives.

    Ezra has since challenged the legitimacy of his termination, claiming that he was not afforded a fair opportunity to defend himself or clarify his actions. Through his attorney, he has threatened legal action against Paystack, asserting that the process was unjust. Sources close to him report that Ezra is grappling with the emotional toll of his predicament, struggling to come to terms with the reality that his past social media presence could resurface with such damaging consequences.

    Despite the weight of the situation, Ezra is surrounded by a close circle of friends, who are providing support in an effort to prevent him from sinking into a deeper state of despair. As he navigates this tumultuous chapter, the impact of his earlier choices looms large, serving as a poignant reminder of the lasting effects that one’s online behavior can have in the digital age.
