Subomi Balogun: True symbol of a classic Nigerian brand
Otunba Balogun himself emphasised that it was an evident example of reciprocity, and the lesson learnt was increasingly apparent. He recalled: “The first house I built in my life in Apapa, Alex had the next building to mine. As soon as the war started, some pool players took over the house and converted it to a gambling house. They would be there until midnight, but to protect my own house from being burgled by those people, I had to arrange for the police to evacuate them.
Today, several other companies have sprouted from the brand. There was more to the life of this man to demonstrate his ever willingness to be of service. For example, in a situation where many still cause divisions, using religious inclination, Otunba Balogun, had by his philanthropy, not only blurred the line, but obliterated it. He gave to the Jew as much as he did to the Gentile.
“I am always joyous to do good and to have people around me, wherever you come from. And the good Lord has always been faithful to me.” Otunba Balogun also proved that people did not always hit it big early in their careers but should see each modest stage in life as a step to something greater in the future. His immediate job before jetting out of the country for the proverbial golden fleece was as a classroom teacher.
