With an estimated net worth of $5.5 billion dollars according to Forbes, the history of Mike Adenuga is sure to interest any Nigerian to uncover the secrets of his stupendous wealth.

So trust me when I say that these 12 facts about the history of Mike Adenuga I’m about to reveal, most of you probably don’t have a clue about. Here we go:

#1. Mike’s trillion-naira worth stems not just from Globacom, but also from his two other successful companies, Conoil and Equatorial Trust Bank as well as a few other relatively “not-too-high-profile” considered investments.

#2. He actually worked as a Taxi driver and a Gateman in London to fund his education while undergoing his university years.

#3. During his early 20’s back when he newly returned from London, his friends nicknamed him “the guru” and “the bull”. (But I think he prefares the former).

I admire his wits and vast conglomerate. E no easy at all whether on self effort or by government support. You'd have to start from somewhere, work hard with good vision and credible ideas thereby positioning yourself for outside support.
