Talented! Tomisin Ogunnubi is a 12-year-old student of Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls in Lagos, Nigeria. She has just built a locator to help kids find their way home. The App is on google play store named 'My locator '

Olowolayemo

ok

Man I respect

Unlike Dangote well known around Apapa since 1980s ,This Adenuga man came from nowhere
Some says he was funded by IBB some says he is fronting for foreign company
His source of wealth is more than money ritual or drug but very suspicious
You can't just come from nowhere to start Close to a Trillion naira business it makes no sense

...

, HE ALWAYS SMILE EVEN IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. I LIKE IT

Everyone is sharing their fake success stories.
They won't say the truth.

I can't see Babangida's name anywhere there.
Absolute nonsense.
The only man who climbed to the top just from hardwork and determination is Cosmas Maduka.

400billionman:
Man I respect

God forbid that I respect a homosexual's father.

Ok,so when dis IBB Come in

Very soon my success story will be everywhere. Watch out Nairalander.

Real business man and investor....

wow

I always love watching the video anytime I come across it.

See the need, take the lead.

He saw there were no car stereo in cars imported to Nigeria back then, and he took the advantage of importing not just car stereos BUT removable ones to curb theft.

This is the type of opportunity an entrepreneur should tap into BUT no, na Yahoo we wan do and use proceeds from there to build hotels and flex

buh if dem ask you, you'll say na God.

He started with selling car stereos.
He got rich by learning from the car stereo business and implementing it in larger businesses.

Start small, learn more, grow big.

Keep crying like a barren witch. If you had an iota of shame or commonsense you won't talk trash about Adenuga.

When Ojuku was bedridden and defecating on himself, it was Mike Adenuga who flew him out for medical treatment abroad. Peter Obi was waiting for him to die so as to control APGA, Bianca was busy flirting with GEJ.

To shame you potopoto pigs for ever, currently, an Ijebu man named Mike adenuga is sponsoring the ofala festival in Anambra state. They've given him the right to sponsor it till 2020.

Don't hate on someone better than your ancestors and entire generations combined.

Nice.

These are the kinds of people we should learn from. Not all these thieving politicians with no positive value whatsoever.

God bless Nigeria.

Take a good look at some 'low-life' comments here on this thread,you'll have no other option than to pity the kind of souls we have to deal with in this supposedly amazing country.

God save Nigerians.

people won't want to read. It isn't Big Brother Naija

What year was this recorded ?

Don't despise the days of little beginning. Greatness always start from small things. However, many Nigerian youth don't want to start small.

We need more business role models like Mike Adenuga. See more of such inspiring stories here.

Getting Mike on camera ain't easy
