La réussite spectaculaire des millionnaires de Lagos au Nigeria Sept à huit TF1 HD

I was 16 when providence brought me to France, not knowing that 25 years later, the No. 1 French TV Network, would find a one-time souvenir hawker in France and the poster boy from Agege slum, who through the help of the Almighty was courageous enough to turn the lemon life gave me into lemonades.

Yesterday, I received over 300 congratulatory messages from Paris, Geneva, Yaoundé, Abidjan, Dakar and even my ex whom I have not spoken with for almost 9 years, sent me videos and congratulated me. I can’t help but express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has been with me on this journey.

This viral documentary tells the compelling and inspiring story of how I have come from Agege to build a brand like Sujimoto; nowhere else can this story be possible and I am nothing but grateful to the Almighty.

For me, success is no respecter of race or face, it only answers to hard work, God’s grace, integrity and excellence. It is a thing of great pride, to see my mother’s hard work pay off without forgetting her hand of love on a stubborn entrepreneur who has refused to come to terms with impossibility. This is the least I can do for her and my country. Mama, we’re global now!”


This win is an opportunity to send a strong message to our generation, reminding everyone that you don’t need a rich Uncle or powerful Aunty to succeed. Anyone who strictly adheres to the philosophy of Diligence, Integrity, and Excellence (D.I.E), will definitely ascend the height of their aspirations.
