There is the popular saying that ‘kindness is like a snow that beautifies everything it covers.

 

For Oando Group Chief Executive, Jubril Adewale Tinubu, CON, he is one man that has the milk of kindness literally running in his veins. He does this without seeking attention. He believes in surreptitiously touching the lives of the less privileged without making a noise about it. He abhors publicity and quietly gives back to humanity without making any noise of it.

 

Those who benefitted from his large heart would not stop to sing his praises to high heaven, as they continue to describe him as a beacon of hope and kindness.

 

The top player in Oil and gas is a man of proven immense wealth. He is a lover of humanity and an embodiment of philanthropy, whose milk of human kindness gushes like a fountain, and he believes that everyone deserves a sense of belonging and a chance to succeed in life irrespective of the circumstances surrounding his/her background.

The entrepreneur and philanthropist par excellence is blessed with a deep pocket, a large heart and even deeper is his passion for humanity who loves to see others succeed. He has an innate belief that behind every success story are others helping to make it happen.

 

The unassuming businessman has always made it a point of duty annually to lend support and give Muslim faithful a shoulder to lean on during the Ramadan season, while he never spares any cost to ensure he puts a smile on the faces of the people.

 

He has thus become a bellwether in the acts of generosity to these set of people. He sees sharing love with them as a sacred devotion.

 

As gathered by Society Watch, last Sunday, March 17, 2024, the trained lawyer once again showcased his sense of magnanimity at the annual late Alhaji Kafaru Oluwole Tinubu Memorial Ramadan lecture, organised by the family.

The event brought together conscious Muslim faithful in and outside Lagos State to be fed with spiritual diets during this year’s memorial Ramadan lecture at the popular De Blue Roof, LTV, Ikeja, Lagos.

The event was organised in honour of the late police boss to take Muslims faithful on a voyage around the blessings of Ramadan under a convivial environment.

 

Top Islamic scholars, including Isiaq Oloyede, Jubril Salaudeen, and Dr. Mustapha Adebayo Bello kept the audience on the edge of their seats, as they took turns to engage them during their brilliant presentations, which were peppered with copious quotes from the holy Quran, as well as Hadith, the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammed, SAW.

 

As revealed, the event was indeed, one moment that gave not a few in the audience the opportunity to see the oil magnate as someone who has not abandoned his religious obligations in the quest for wealth.

Aisha Achimugu: From Business Powerhouse to Paris Style Icon

Published

on

By

Paris has always had a way of making fashion feel less like clothing and more like theatre. And when the world’s style aristocracy gathered for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Nigerian high flying businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, arrived with the kind of polished glamour that commands attention without demanding it.

Against the timeless backdrop of the French capital, Achimugu stepped into the world of Paris Fashion Week in a look that married sophistication with modern femininity. Her ensemble was defined by a refined silhouette, impeccable tailoring and the kind of carefully considered styling in which every detail appeared deliberate. The proportions were elegant, the finish luxurious, while her accessories added just the right measure of sparkle and personality.

Her beauty look complemented rather than competed with the outfit. Immaculately styled hair, luminous makeup and a poised, confident bearing completed the picture, allowing the clothes to retain their quiet authority. It was a lesson in restraint: nothing appeared excessive, yet every element, from the jewellery to the finishing touches, contributed to the overall effect.

The real strength of Achimugu’s Paris appearance, however, was in the details. The interplay of texture and silhouette gave the look dimension, while the accessories provided those subtle flashes of glamour associated with the best society dressing. There was an understanding of proportion, balance and occasion, a recognition that at Paris Fashion Week, being noticed is not necessarily about wearing the loudest look in the room.

For Achimugu, fashion has never seemed like an afterthought. It is part of the persona, the jewellery, the sculpted silhouettes, the luxurious textures, the immaculate finishing and that unmistakable confidence of a woman comfortable in her own skin.

Her Paris appearance offered yet another glimpse into the glamorous lifestyle of the Felak Concept Group boss, whose public persona has over the years straddled business, philanthropy, high society and fashion.

In the city, amid the fashion houses and international style elite, Achimugu appeared more than as a spectator but as a Nigerian woman confidently occupying a global fashion space. Her look spoke in the sophisticated language of Parisian dressing, polished, assured and intentionally glamorous, while retaining the unmistakable confidence of a woman bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.

And as the lights of Paris dimmed on another fashionable season, her appearance left behind the unmistakable impression of a woman who understands that fashion, at its most powerful, is as much about presence as it is about clothes.

How I manage Davido’s finances, spending habits — Sharon Adeleke

Published

Sharon Ademefun Adeleke, the elder sister of Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has revealed how she manages her brother’s finances and her unconventional approach to marriage.

Sharon disclosed this while appearing on the Morayo Show, adding that she regularly discusses Davido’s finances with him, particularly his spending on cars and jewellery.

“One of the major things I’m always getting on my brother is jewellery and cars. My God!” she said.

“Me and him will sit down. We will have a finance meeting every week because I think it is important for him to know how his money is being spent.

“And I will now say, ‘David, please, no more cars, no more jewellery.’ Twenty-four hours later, you will start seeing it on the blogs that he bought another car.”

Sharon, a mother of three, also spoke about her marriage, saying she made it clear to her husband from the outset that she did not intend to follow a traditional approach.

“When I met my husband, I explained to him that there isn’t going to be a traditional kind of marriage,” she said.

“I remember, I think in the first few months of us dating, I cooked and all the things. When he was eating, I was like, ‘Oh babe, are you enjoying the food?’ He said yes.

“And I said, ‘Good. Now you know I know how to cook, but I don’t like cooking, and I hope that’s not going to be a problem.”

The entrepreneur revealed how she built her wig-making business. She said she learnt to make wigs out of frustration with the difficulty of securing skilled hairstylists and wig makers, who were often fully booked.

“I learnt how to make wigs because I was frustrated because really good hairstylists and wig makers are always busy. Even if you drop your things with them, every week they will still be busy,” she said.

“So, one day I said, ‘What is this wig making? Let me just try.’ At that time, there was maybe one video or two compared to now, when if you go on YouTube, you can find thousands of videos about wig making.

“I was heavily pregnant and very bored, so my husband took me to the beauty shop, and I bought all the pieces. I just started trying, and then I started doing it more and more. Then my friends started asking me to make wigs for them.”

Sharon said she believes people sometimes discover their businesses unexpectedly rather than through careful planning.

“I’m a big believer that when God gives you a business, you kind of fall into it sometimes. It is not something that you planned,’ she said.

“When I started going into it, I started going for training all over the world.”
