Dispensing saudi arabia scents into China bottles and you call them ''customized''? Nigerians are so funny. This is same as one kindergarten in Ibadan run in a 2-bedroom apartment, the next I saw was ''Baba Ayokunle International Schools'': Creche, KG, Primary, secondary: all in one hell hole called ''2-bedroom Flat'' grin grin grin

Very correct. They are always fond of telling mumu 'rags to riches' stories, even those born with gold and silver spoons. Any commoner that thinks their stories are inspirational does so at his own peril. Na wa o for Naija cronies and children of the privileged.

That's right, it's always good to strive to make a good name, i pity all our politicians the steals our money, they don't know they are making bad names for their family and generations yet unborn, it was the good name my dad made that made me to be where i am now.

I and this bros started business almost at the same time. I give God praise for the speed in his life. I also thank God for how He's leading me in my business too.

All I can say for now is, its good to have a power house as your source.

What if it's not the father that gave him the 30k, he earned it from his own work.

A good name is better than riches. A Nigerian entrepreneur and perfume maker, Adewale Aladejana, who owns sapphire scents - has revealed how former president of Nigeria; Olusegun Obasanjo reacted when he heard about his late father who passed away 7 years ago after his appointment as a federal commissioner.

The ex president visited Sapphire showroom in Abuja to receive his customized perfume - making him the third President to use a Sapphire Scents Bespoke after General Abdulsalam Abubakar and Flt Lt. Jerry Rawlings former President of Ghana.

Read what Adewale Aladejana, shared on Facebook after the encounter.

The bible says in Proverbs 22:1 (NLT)

Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.

After we presented the Sapphire Scents Bespoke to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday, I thought I should also mention to him that he appointed my father as a federal commissioner at the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission that was the post my father held till he died in 2010. Baba looked at me and with a smile on his face he said "oh, Aladejana is your father?"Baba became much more friendly and began to ask questions "how is sales? Is the business moving? " He began to joke with my wife as well, he knew that we were from noble stock.

I learnt a lifelong lesson: one of the biggest investment you can give your children is a good name! My father died 7 years ago but his name still gladdened a king's heart. Whatever you are doing now think of tomorrow, will your name produce favor or hatred for your children in the future?

John D Rockefeller the richest man who ever lived after Solomon said "the best capital a young man can have is a good name ". Protect your name, its all your children will have to invest and do business with after you are gone.

Receive wisdom in Jesus name.

You too can be a social media evangelist kindly share so that others can be blessed as you have been blessed. Thank you for reading.

Good your father left a good name, but don't be fooled that Obj remembered or knows him. He did same when I mentioned my dad to him, he does not recall.
