For those who have followed the astronomic rise of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Founder, Otunba Subomi Balogun (CON) from Genesis would attest to the fact that long-suffering, doggedness, dedication, hard work and his Midas touch of Gold made him attain such enviable height in business. Thus placing his bank as one of the very best financial institutions in Nigeria.
The octogenarian Ijebu-ode born billionaire; is generous to a fault. Those who have come in contact with the soft-spoken man; would attest to the fact that, he loathe the sight of his fellow human in distress; he is every ready to help. His philanthropic gestures is second to none as he has often donated generously to the upliftment of humanity in Nigeria.
The Olori Omo-oba of Ijebu land is known for his winning streak; however, this has transversed to his recent victory at the Ogun High court; where Justice Aderonke Asenuga upheld him as the head of the Fusengbuwa ruling house, one of the ruling houses in Ijebu-Ode where the Awujale of Ijebuland is traditionally selected. This was enough gift for the Asiwaju of Ijebu Christians who is celebrating his 84th birthday today on the 9th of March.
CITYSPY gathered that the Judge delivered her judgment with enormous oral evidence given to the court by the Awujale and the paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Kayode Sikiru Adetona.
