GET INSPIRED - The 3 Youngest Billionaires in Nigeria today!!!

Different people want different things for themselves. Generally, some want just Money, some just Fame and others Power (am sure most of us want everything) but these 3 Nigerian young men have these 3 things and have achieved them in a very short time.

1. Sijibomi Ogundele


Sijibomi is notably the youngest Nigerian man so far to reach a billion in earnings from business investments.

The 34 year old entrepreneur is the CEO of Sujimoto Group of companies which comprises of real-estate, finance and energy divisions. He studied Law and has over the years acquired knowledge and experience in business management, strategy and investments.

He started his career in risk assessment in 2004, where he moved up to lending in SMEs and set up Moto Finance in Madrid which has a branch in Accra Ghana; achieving significant industry milestones.

He describes his vision as ‘simple’ which is to revolutionize the African luxury Real Estate industry with Nigeria as a starting point. With the success of his company’s pioneer project in Nigeria called Medici, a high demand for Sujimoto’s forthcoming project in Ikoyi “LorenzoBySujimoto” is highly anticipated by investors and high net-worth individuals.

Inspired by the Ritz Styled Hotel & Apartment, LorenzoBySujimoto is an unveiling of world class hospitality bringing a redefinition in high value residential structures, comprising of 2, 3 & 4 bedrooms, a fascinating addition of penthouses with private swimming pools.

Sijibomi is very unapologetic about his opinions concerning the luxury real estate industry and has been described severally as the Donald Trump of Nigeria; claiming that the Nigerian Luxury Real Estate industry has not achieved 5% of its true potential. This inspired his vision to set up his company called Sujimoto Construction Ltd, which has achieved impressive strides within a few months of operations and gained recognition for being one of the most dynamic luxury construction companies in Nigeria as recorded by Channels Television, CNBC to name a few.

Sijibomi believes in the principle of giving back to society and empowering the people as exhibited in various social responsibility efforts setting him apart from his peers.
