BusinessRe: Success Story Of Billionaire Industrialist Who Started As A Photographer by Empiree: 12:51am On May 12, 2020
immortalityk:
The Story Of IJEBU Businessman, Alhaji ADEGUNWA
The story of renowned business mogul, Alhaji (Dr.) Sulaiman Adebola Adegunwa, can be likened to the proverbial Grass to Grace. He started his career as a Photographer and with the grace of God, he stepped up his game and became a big player in the Photography business.
He rose to become a big importer of photographic equipment before he veered into other areas of investment. Today, he owns several companies and he plays big in real estate and banking.
When this Ijebu businessman, turned 70 last year, he was celebrated in a big way. The stylish and deeply religious man has positively touched so many lives. For decades, he has been actively involved in philanthropy. He has, however, been silent about it.
In Ijebu, his image looms large because of his kind gestures. He is from Ososa Ijebu, the land of birth of the late Theatre icon, Hubert Ogunde, of blessed memory. He has also established businesses in Ijebu just as he did in Lagos. He also built a big mosque in his home town.
He recently completed a big multibillion dollar factory that has provided jobs for several Ijebu youths. If you approach Ososa town from the Benin-Sagamu expressway you will see the very expensive factory where he produces his RITE sausage rolls, and soft drink. That is what he has always been known for. His past achievements prime him a better prospect to industrially lift Ijebuland . A harbinger of good things, he is, by his present dispensation going to script a glorious future for Ijebuland.
His economic empowerment stride is spectacularly lifting Ijebu people out of quagmire of poverty. As he knows the benefit and value of kindness and selflessness, he keeps living those values. He is living an exemplary life, which is a source of inspiration for future industrialists. He treasures without any inhibition, love, integrity and hard-work as values
At 71, he is still vibrant, quick-witted, sharp and focussed as a prodigy in his teens. He is a model of tenacity of purpose and resilience, which have remained his benchmark. Strong, and courageous, he has never for once reduced the urge to strive higher for a much larger business conglomerate. Put in sharp focus, his unquantifiable contributions can be appreciated in major areas such as business, philanthropy and national unity. Alhaji (Dr.) Sulaiman Adebola Adegunwa has perfected the art of working silently and letting his achievements speak for him, but then, success is a gold fish that has no hiding place. He has succeeded in getting his name written in gold. Thus remaining at all times an invaluable giant.
He is the Founder, Executive Chairman of many companies like Fototek Industries Ltd. (Adebola House), 40, Opebi Road, Ikeja. He set it up in 1980. The company, is a conglomerate with its sister company, Photo Palace Ltd. It operates photo labs, boasting of 56 branches across 28 states of the federation. The company also engages in sales of photographic equipment and materials.
He is the founder, Executive Chairman Photo Palace Ltd. (Adebola House) 40, Opebi Road, Ikeja. The company, which operates photo labs and offers for sale photographic equipment and materials provides its services from 33 branches across the country, He is the Founder, Executive Chairman Prints Specialty Ltd. (Adebola House) 40, Opebi Road.
This is a printing company that utilizes the most sophisticated printing technology in the printing industry today. It offers printing services in the areas of labels, annual reports, light packaging and general commercial printing. He is the Founder, Executive Chairman Top Communications Ltd. (Adebola House) 40, Opebi Road, Ikeja.
The company equipped with the most sophisticated systems available to date in information technology, serves the nation in Website Design, Graphics Bureau. Digital Imaging and Design, Multimedia Presentation and events marketing.
He is the founder, Executive Chairman Fototek, S.A. Cotonou, Republic of Benin. The company was established in the Republic of Benin to meet the increasing demand for the company’s services in that country and some other West African countries including Cameroun, Niger, Chad and Togo.
He is the founder, Executive Chairman Ess-Ay Holdings Ltd. (Adebola House) 40, Opebi Road, Ikeja. This is the parent company co-ordinating and consolidating all the companies in the Group namely, Fototek Industries Limited, Photo Palace Limited Prints Specialty Ltd and Top Communications Ltd.
Ess-Ay Holdings Ltd. holds the sole distributorship of Agf-Gevart of Germany as a representative in West Africa. He is the Chairman Atlantic Insurance Ltd. (Adebola House) 40, Opebi Road, Ikeja. This company offers insurance services in Marine, Non-Life and other businesses. The contributions of Alhaji (Dr.) Sulaiman Ade Adegunwa to national development are multi-faceted. They all underscore his abiding faith in the greatness of country and the ideal of service to humanity. Put in sharp focus, his contributions could be appreciated in four areas:
He currently presides over a vast industrial/trading/insurance empire, which through its 56 branches spread across the country is making an impact on the economy, and lives of people.
He has God-given resources to invest heavily in men, machinery and materials plus making corresponding enormous investment in manpower development and training. His conglomerates are heavy revenue contributors to the government coffers. Thus uplifting the country’s economy. By employing more than 1.200 workers of various categories, his companies are spreading economic welfare among workers.
Thus Alhaji (Dr.) Sulaiman Adebola Adegunwa is contributing to the poverty alleviation aspiration of the country. He pioneered modern, large-scale technology photographic service today and his firm remains the largest network of Photographic Services in West Africa, establishing a Photographic company in a neighbouring country, Republic of Benin and boosting trade relations with other ones, mainly Franco-phone countries.
To him, the trading relationship is a fulfillment of contributing to the African economic development and galvanizing more than ever before, mutual understanding and respect among West African nations, in the spirit of ECOWAS. In other words, (Dr.) Adegunwa has moved towards taking up the challenge of fulfilling ‘the role of an economic ambassador in the West Coast of Africa Feelers from customers of his company show that so far, he has played this role well.
The insurance company-Atlantic Insurance Co. Limited – of which he is Chairman responds to patrons yearning for security, stability and confidence in Marine and Non-Life businesses. Bringing his years of business experience to bear on the firm. He has enormously succeeded in raising the company to its present enviable position as an emerging flagship in the insurance industry.
Alhaji (Dr.) Adegunwa believes in Education. He believes that with education, “you are not giving a man his food for the day, but a means of lasting livelihood” Thus, his invesment in the educational sector has so far been an addiction and a source of joy for him. His investment, in a property gifts, and financial assistance to education sector spreads across primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. The future educational prospect of the tots at the Sulaiman Kindergarten Centre is secure as adequate facilities are within their reach. Offering free extramural classes to secondary school students at the Sulaiman Continuing Education College, Ososa is one commendable intervention by a man, who has put his God-given resources at the disposal of his fellow men, including the less priviledged. The Faculties of Law of both Lagos State University and Olabisi Onabanjo University are today better for it, with the financial assistance rendered by (Dr.) Adegunwa. Just as the Audio Visual Centre donated by him to the Olabisi Onabanjo University College of Health Sciences, has proved such a wonderful asset to the University.

As for me, all things will go down well, but from her side I doubt it she can deal with inter religious marriage.

We both just confused now
This is INVALID marriage unless you both want to deceive yourselves and face the consequences later in life. You can not be calling and worshipping Jesus while she's calling and worshipping God in the same house under the same roof. This is insane. You can not marry her unless you convingly become muslim. I hope she's not nominal muslim you can convince. So dont waste your time young man. Go and find your fellow christian woman. They are plenty out there, my friend.


"And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember." Q2:221

Kiddler:
I don't think anyone needs to show you the history of child marriage around the world that has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, especially Europe in the middle ages. There is a whole wikipedia page about that. The misconception that child marriage is Islamic is completely false and I've seen across many forums where intellectual muslims are trying to explain this issue, but you'd often find resentful replies. Maybe it is from the desire to not understand anything about Islam or plain religious hate, I don't know.
See highlighted?. It is what it is, pure and simple. Thanks for replying him. I didnt want to reply him/her without first telling me his/her religion. If it is atheism he/she would be dismissed right away bcus it is none of their business and they will never understand because their brains have been suspended btw heaven and earth.

Aisha was less than the age of puberty, in one narration she mentioned her dolls, 17 or 18 year olds don't play with dolls
First of all, don't mind critics like atheists and Christians. They are hypocrites. Those days, kings, high priests wealthy folks etc married young girls before prophet muhammad (saw) but Christians look the way to avoid blameworthiness. Whichever way the arguments take you'd still triumph against critics anytime they come up to criticize Islam on the prophet marriage to Aisha

Second, kiddler brother was fair in his analysis. We have debated this issue several times. The hadith of Aisha (ra) speaking about she was 6 when she was married and marriage was consummated when she was 9 itself may be valid but it's matn is false. The hadith contradicts few other ahadith. It is as simple as that.. You have brought one hadith about child playing with dolls. This means Aisha recognized a child when she seen one. Playing with doll is child habit.

In that case, Prophet Muhammad could not have married a child when he said we should train our children to pray salat at 7 and beat them for it when they reach 10yrs of age. This is the hadith that knocked out all irrelevant arguments to validate Hadith of Aisha married at 6




Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)



Chapter: When A Boy Should Be Ordered To Offer As-Salat(26)




Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:



The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it (prayer) when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds (to sleep) separately.




Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 495
In-book reference : Book 2, Hadith 105
English translation : Book 2, Hadith 495


If this Hadith recognizes 7 and 10 years old as a child, how could nabi Muhammad married a child?. This means that Hadith which says Aisha was 6 at the time of nikkah is false.. Very simple


Supreme argument and the Furqan is Quran. Qur'an calls wives of the prophet (saw) WOMEN



Surat al-Ahzab 33:59


O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments.....




This Ayah recognizes wives of the prophet as women and it doesn't address any of the prophet's wives as a child. Muslim children, either males or females, are trained by parents to pray when they reach age 7. This training starts soft with little discipline early on. The level of disciplinary measures are increased with age. Prayer itself does not become religiously mandatory upon the children until they reach the age of puberty. Other view is that, "ideally, your child will see the others praying around her and want to join in. I recommend encouraging them as soon as they can sit up. I used to put my newborn on his own rug next to mine while I prayed. As long as they can sit still and be respectful, they should be included in congregational prayer as well. If we don’t start taking our daughters to the Masjid, they will become even more unwelcoming to women than they already are.".
