Ayeni Adekunle, the CEO of ID Africa has announced his exit from the company.

The renowned media entrepreneur took to his IG page t o announce his exit from one of his companies, ID Africa, while also sharing his battled with depression.

Read his statement below;


Year 2018: 166% group revenue growth. Over 300% increase in staff compensation. Dotun finished second masters with distinction and kicked off PhD. But I missed my retirement target, struggled with depression, and finally decided this entrepreneurship thing is not worth dying for.

Now learning to ‘live a little’, to start watching movies and listening to music again, pulling back from day to day at BHM where I now no longer have an office, and acquiring more Orara and Onobrakpeya. Maybe my first Ehikhamenor too!

I’ve spent every day of my life, since I left secondary school, doing all I can to change my story; using my skills and talents to escape poverty, to change my life, change the world around me, and help as many people as I can.

It’s been a long journey from when I first registered a business name in 2006, from when I operated from my work station inside my Akute flat; from when I squatted in friends’ offices, and couldn’t hire any staff.

But it’s still a long journey to where we want to be: one of the most successful organisations from this part of the world, using a deep understanding of media, marketing communications, and technology, to make people happier, companies better, and the world smarter.

We open a new chapter today, on the journey towards accomplishing that mission, with a strategic business combination (ID Africa + NET Newspapers), and the appointment of Mr. Femi Falodun who will take over from me as CEO of ID Africa.

We’re still a very small organisation. We have never received any investment, enjoyed any significant bank support, or partnership. But our dreams are big.

And it’s beginning to unravel, thanks to the passionate young people who work here, to the clients and partners who believe in us, to friends and acquaintances who continue to bring opportunities our way, and to all the geniuses and giants in media, marketing and technology whose inventions and innovation continue to show us that it is indeed possible.

We will now proceed to spend the next 5 years aggressively plotting the future of our business here and in other markets.

How does one do that, without compromising health, family, soul, and life?

Depression is real. If you doubt me, go and ask Atiku, Obi and Saraki. The last time they smiled was the last time they deceived themselves. Now Nigerians have shown them reality and their eye don clear.

One of the causes of depression is comparing yoursrlf and achievements to other people...

Depression!!!!!!

There is just one life for everyone. Lets live it to the fullest not minding the current economic situation in the country. Real hunger in the land. God save us.

No, it makes you talk less. It makes you withdraw from friends and family and low moral.

You just have to be strong for you self. Try and find out what type of depression you are going through, if you need some one to talk to try and get one and pls know it that no situation is permanent. Pray to God for guidance.

No.. I somehow can relate to making someone talk too much.

I dont know him

Different stroke for different individual. What most people are dying for, is what he is throwing up on a platter of gold.

Money is not a guarantee for happiness. We are just insatiable as humans.

As weird as it sounds, moderation is very important in everything.

It is well

He just got burnt out. He probably found out material things can't fill the void of life...living, the essence of life. Many accomplished people struggle with that... some for escape turn to philanthropy,drugs, fetishes... others the occult...for some privileged they find Christ, the centre of it all...Life.

He's probably having a midlife crisis

Eyah, I wish him speedy recovery.
