Adeshola Komolafe is a female digital entrepreneur who is convinced that the future of entrepreneurship in Nigeria and Africa at large depends on women. Not to replace men, but to transform Africa’s options qualitatively and quantitatively.

As the Chief Executive of Oak Tv and Media Insight, an Integrated Marketing Communications firm with headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, she holds strongly to the words of Hillary Clinton that: Women are not victims, we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace — all we need is a fighting chance.’

She graduated with a Honours degree In Political Science, and Masters in Public Policy and Administration from Bayero University in Kano, she believes that the leaders of the future must epitomize the spirit of the times, grapple with the problems that, even when local, are nonetheless of global concerns. Such leaders, she insists, must have clarity about the way out and be able to work not from an outside in but an inside-out mindset that clearly addresses the most pressing concerns of women within their immediate environment. She also studied Digital Marketing at MIT Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts and Digital Storytelling at the Columbia Business School, New York.



n 2012, she was nominated for the Future Awards and in 2007; she received the International Youth Ambassador for Peace Award by the World Youth Federation for World Peace. She is a Fellow of the Initiative for Global Development Emerging Leaders; a member of the World Bank Youth Forum and AlJazeera Media catalyst.

It's pretty clear from the awesome job that the likes of hilroy, deomelo, laudate and the rest of our prolific posters are doing on this thread that Yorubas run well organized & structured companies that operate in line with international best practices. So much so that you can quite easily access, compile or put together their company profiles as well as the profiles of the individuals behind them by doing a simple online search about them.

Our lousy neighbours on the other hand have run out of REAL entrepreneurs . Therefore they have resorted to making up fictitious 'companies', putting up igbo employees as owners of non-igbo owned companies, including Okoro & son 2x2 shops, or infinitely repeating innoson, teragro, Linda Ikeji and the likes to keep their thread going.
