OTUNBA Michael Olasubomi Balogun He has been described by many as a man of excellence, integrity, an exemplary leader. He is the Founder of FCMB Group and a trail blazer and pioneer extraordinaire in the Nigerian financial and business sector. Otunba Subunmi Michael Balogun has also been frequently referred to in the Nigeria financial circle as the Grand-master and Baron of the Nigerian Capital and Money Market for his pioneering efforts in the development of the Nigeria financial markets. He surprised detractors with his can do and a no guts, no glory instincts and made history by founding the first ever Nigerian private bank to be established in Nigeria without foreign direct investments or funding from the Nigerian government. Of the several of such ventures, his has remained an enduring legacy Subunmi’s life journey story inspires confidence and tenacity; Rather than staying down and remaining vengeful after being unfairly treated by his employers for a role he more than deserved in a company he had even helped drive to the peak with his expertise; Otunba Subunmi Balogun pulled himself together and took a giant leap of faith in venturing out on his own. A move that has not only paid off, but fruit of that move the First City Monument Bank has become a legacy which has now been handed down to a new generation of leaders and is currently headed by his son Mr. Ladi Balogun. In an interview with Vanguard when he clocked 80, Subunmi said “I am not a pharisee of real life experience, my journey to what you now see had been divinely guided, and if you care to know, I am happy and thankful. If any of you go to PrimroseTower, the headquarters of FCMB, this block prim-rose-tower is dedicated to the glory of God as an embodiment of a young man’s faith in the unfailing support of the Almighty God and in his own destiny, in spite of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles. “It is also a monument of a young Nigerian’s determination to succeed and prove that given the opportunity, Nigerians have the capacity to attain a commanding height in the management of financial institutions. Lastly, it serves as a lesson to all and mankind that in all things, men may have their say but in the final analysis, the Almighty God will have His way”. When you mention courage, tenacity, inventiveness, brilliance, distinction and visionary leadership, all of these attributes added to faith, personifies the life story of Subunmi Balogun. Born to Muslim parents, he has never been one to shy away from his converted Christian beliefs and unwavering faith and the importance of Godly practices both in his personal walk and business life. This move bears testimony to his courage, independence and willingness to go against the grain. These combined with his resolve to make the best of life and be the best, are the virtues that helped him quit his job and set up a bank in a way no one had ever done before at the age of 42. The Ijebu people had long been nicked named tight-fisted people, but Otunba Subunmi Micheal Balogun has proved this assumption a wrong one too many times and continues to do so with his philanthropy. He has touched and continues to touch lives with his hundreds of scholarships and support to the under privileged and many other charitable undertakings. He is one man that has said to himself that no child in Nigeria should ever die of a curable disease. His charitable actions are too many to be listed here. He donated the Otunba Tunwase National Paediatric Centre, OTNPC, Ijebu Ode to the University of Ibadan The beginning of the journey: I had a dream, I had a vision. I was cheated, I was an employee in an institution created by Nigerians and Americans, but I was the brain behind the whole thing. I went on a course in the US and I came back with ideas with which we should set up a merchant bank. The whole of the company was aware that I was behind it. But when it came to selecting the Chief Executive, I was told that in spite of all entreaties, that I could not be the Chief Executive because I happened to have a basic training in law. I was 42 and they brought a young man with little or no experience, from America, at 32, to take my place. One of the gifts God gave me is courage and tenacity of purpose. I decided to pray in addition to my decision to fight it out, so that was what happened to the dream and the vision which was clear. By nature God gave me what we call courage, tenacity of purpose, discipline, I knew where I was going but the vista was as misty and unbelievable. I was trying to prove a point, that I wasn’t arrogant or envious, but with the support I had and with the grace of the Almighty God so when I felt cheated by not being allowed to head an institution created by foreign institutions and then former employers. I had a courage to desire and without anything in my pocket except my God, I decided to start a on a journey of self actualisation. It wasn’t a proud journey; it was a journey of faith, a journey on the handbill of my God. my confidence in myself and my trust in the Lord God our Savior. In the course of the whole journey, it has been turbulent. I had a focus, I had courage, and I had an unstated faith that the good Lord will carry me through, come rain come sunshine that mortals may have their say, but in the final analysis, the Almighty God will have His way. Maybe that was one of the reasons why I was made the Asiwaju of the Ijebu Christians association, but that faith was very strong. So 35 years ago without thinking of what to do, I threw in my letter of resignation. One of the things we have come to learn in this country is that in the first process of having a vision or a dream, only an individual does dream, other people would join later on. And in this country in those days, it was an anathema for an individual to set up an institution; one man show; one man show, as if when you’re dreaming, more than one man can dream.

RASAQ OKOYA Razak Akanni Okoya (born in Lagos on 12 January 1940 to Tiamiyu Ayinde and Alhaja Idiatu Okoya) is a billionaire industrialist and Aare of Lagos.[5] He had his only formal education at Ansar-un-deen Primary School, Oke popo, Lagos. He is the owner and founder of Eleganza group of companies, which has a market spanning Western Africa Razak Okoya is a yoruba man from the south-western part of Nigeria born on 12 January 1940. He worked with his father's tailoring business which also included the sales of tailoring accessories. The experience he got gave him the confidence to start mini tailoring activities on his own. He saved every penny he made until he had 20 pounds. His mother gave him the extra 50 pounds,with the blessings of his father, he needed to start importing and trading goods from Japan. Razak Okoya's business expanded swiftly, he travelled far and wide and learnt how things were manufactured having the strong feeling that Nigeria could match that quality if not better. His first wife, Kuburat Okoya, was obsessed with costly jewellery and he was always baffled at how much she said they cost. He strongly felt the prices were outrageous since the metals could be designed at a cheaper price and the metals were readily available in Nigeria. Challenged his perceived healthy demand, he travelled abroad, bought the machines. That marked the birth of Eleganza Jewelry. The success was phenomenal. They could not keep up with the demand because, the products were beautiful, durable and cheap. They were instant best sellers. He also started manufacturing buttons and jewellery. He began the importation of shoes in large quantities, subsequently. On one of these occasions, the shoes were not delivered despite his payment. He travelled to Italy to see the manufacturer only to discover that they had used his money to settle their bills. He was so angry that he decided there and then to start manufacturing his own shoes. He imported all the machines and brought in some experts who trained his workers. Today, under his Chairmanship, the Eleganza Industries produces a wide range of household goods and utensils including cutlery, collieries, food warmers, ice chest, electric fan, cosmetics and ballpoint pen. His factory locations include, Oregun-Ikeja, Isolo, Alaba and Iganmu, the Company now directly employs over five thousand Nigerians and non-Nigerians including those working in his RAO Property Investment Company. Okoya's Eleganza Group is one of the biggest homegrown conglomerates in Nigeria today, with over six factories, and its products are household names in Nigeria neighbouring African markets. He was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award as Business Entrepreneur of Our Time from Thisday Newspapers His magnificent and outlandish estate, "Oluwa ni shola" (The Lord creates wealth) Estate at Lekki/Ajah Expressway is his primary residence. The "Oluwa ni shola" Estate, which is also described as an expatriates Estate because of the high number of expatriates living there, is well equipped with uninterrupted power and water supply, marble floors, central air-conditioning, sauna, lush gardens, billiard room, tennis court, swimming pools, expensive sculptures and lots more.[6] According to Bellanaija, "the music video [for "Suddenly"] was shot on location at Chief Razak Okoya's 'Oluwa Ni shola' Estate

Akinwunmi Odumakinde began his career with Chevron Refinery, Richmond, CA, USA where he was engaged as Summer Chemical Engineer between July and September 1987. He then left for Dow Chemical, Pittsburgh, CA, USA as Research/Process Engineer between July and December 1988, and also worked with Arco Oil & Gas, Bakersfield, CA, USA as Operation/Analytical Engineer between June 1990 and May 1994. But his determination to succeed, and further pursue the cause of local capacity building, made him return to Nigeria, where he floated a company called DeltaTek Engineering Limited. The success of DeltaTek Engineering Limited in the Nigerian Oil & Gas Industry today, under his able leadership led to his pioneering the formation and operation of companies like DSV Pipetronix Limited where he served as Vice President, Operations; DeltaTerratek, another company he founded; Prime Atlantic, where he serves as Director and DeltaAfrik Engineering Limited (a Joint Venture Company between DeltaTek and WorleyParsons) where he is currently the Managing Director. He combines experience, creativity, and proven management skill with sound business sense to deliver excellence in these positions. The successful technical partnership of his company, DeltaTek with a renowned Worldwide Engineering Design Company, WorleyParsons has attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of over 80 million US dollars leading to the formation of a new JV called DELTAAFRIK (which is 51 percent and 49 percent owned by DeltaTek Engineering a 100% indigenously owned company and WorleyParsons) respectively. All the listed subsidiaries including Delta Afrik are part of the Delta Tek Group which is run by Odumakinde.
