Ajegboro by TUBLEZ(m): 7:14pm On Nov 07, 2017
*AJÉGBÖRÒ**AJEGBORO left Ibadan to Lagos in search of greener pasture. He chose to be carrying loads on his head at Oyingbo market to earn a living.*Few years after, he bought a cart from his savings and this eased the pain of carrying loads on his head for commercial purposes. The Cart also increased his income and he wasable to acquire 6 more of its kind which he rented out to others.*Exactly 8 years in this cart pushing business, Ajegboro bought a van which many called BOLEKAJA and learning how to drive, he handled the business by himself. 4 years into the Bolakaja business, Ajegboro had been a proud owner of 6 Vans.*Being a bona fide Ibadan son, AJEGBORO built a gigantic building at OJA OBA where the Olubadan Palace is situated when it was time to put a roof on his head.*Many people at this period approached Ajegboro to show them the secret behind his success. He simply asked them if they could carry loads on their heads in the market to earnincome? And their response had always been NEVER.**"ENI O LE SE BI ALABARU L'OYINGBO, KO LE SE BI AJEGBORO L'OJA OBA"* is a replica of the adage also in Yoruba land that says;"ÌSASÙN TI YIO J'ATA OBE, IDI A KOKO GBONA. ( A pot that wants to consume a palatable soupmust have it bottom burnt with fire first).In Life, to endure is to achieve. No short cuts is sustainable. Wealth is built over time in a smalland persistence way.
