The way people are dying this year..it's more than the deaths recorded during COVID. Whatever is causing these deaths, I pray in the Name of Jesus that the power is taking away and God's love and kindness rules over the earth. Amen.

Rest in peace to him...

In 2004, fresh outta secondary school, I was working with O'la kleen then. We worked in his house at no.1 so street V.I. it was then I realised how wealthy this man is. He was chatting with his friend that his son (whom he had outside wedlock) owns the largest share with Vmobile (now Airtel). He told his friend how Sani Abacha ceased his 90 million dollars in 1994. I nearly fainted. Further findings from my superior made me understood that he was among the earliest illuminati member from Africa. No wonder his bank adorned the triangular shope. He's a very handsome man. Otunwáse Balogun.

Ybholy:


Next time you want to Alex, put SIR in front of the name.

He more than deserves that and you’re not more knowledgeable or powerful than all news outlet/newspaper/individual that always put SIR before his name.

I won’t tell you this again.

😔😔😔

I called you a sycophant on another thread and you were angry. I remember now. It was the thread of Abike Dabiri giving update about Sudan evacuation.
Here's a thread about the passing of an illustrious Yoruba man and all you can find to write is that he was Ekwueme's friend
You're a political sycophant

If he had died in nigeria,those ones will be saying it is as a result of poor Healthcare system as if the give life assurance abroad.

Hamachi:
He was born in 1934 at Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria[ to Muslim parents. Balogun converted to Christianity while in secondary school. He graduated from Igbobi College and studied Law at the London School of Economics. Before leaving for Europe, he briefly worked as a teacher. As a student in London, Balogun regularly attended fellowships and had the opportunity to meet some noted Nigerians such as Yakubu Gowon before the latter was president. After earning his law degree, he returned to Nigeria to join the Ministry of Justice, Western Region. From the regional Ministry of Justice where he was a Crown Counsel, Balogun found a new post as a Parliamentary Counsel in the Federal Ministry of Justice.

After the January 1966 coup, he joined the Nigerian Industrial Development Bank. At NIDB, his interest in investment banking led him to advocate for the establishment of merchant bank sponsored by NIDB. When ICON securities, a merchant banking outfit was established in 1973 as a subsidiary of NIDB, Balogun moved to ICON Ltd as a director of operations. When Balogun's ambition to head ICON was not realised, he left he firm to found City Securities, a stock broking and issuing house. City Securities developed relationships with Mobil, Texaco and Total petroleum marketing companies, handling the companies equity offerings. In 1979, he applied for a merchant banking license to establish First City Merchant Bank. Balogun was inspired by the entrepreneurial works of Siegmund Warburg, who co-founded S.G. Warburg, he visited Warburg in London prior to establishing his merchant bank. He often tells the anecdotal story of how his son inspired him to take the leap in starting the bank. When the operations of the bank took effect in 1983, Balogun established an entrepreneurial culture at the new bank, unique as an owner managed bank in contrast to the government owned banks at the time.

Balogun built a National Pediatric Centre in Ijebu-Ode that he donated to University of Ibadan's, University College Teaching Hospital.

Chieftaincy titles
A direct descendant of Oba Tunwase of Ijebu-Ode, Chief Balogun currently holds the chieftaincy title Otunba Tunwase of Ijebuland. He is also the Olori Omoba of Ijebuland and the Asiwaju of Ijebu Christians.
