Otunba Dr. Michael Adeniyi Ishola Adenuga is going to be 70 next Saturday, April 29. It's a date many had looked forward to, but the business titan and one of the richest Africans in history is - in his usual character, is disappointing those expecting a big celebration. There will be no loud parties on that day as the Chairman of Globacom and Conoil Plc, according to those close to him, has chosen to be at home with his family reflecting and thanking God for 70 years of abundant grace. He has appealed
to people planning to celebrate him to do so modestly. Perhaps the only significant thing to signal a celebration is that he has taken special birthday pictures released for media purposes.
Those who have followed the life of this great African businessman -extraordinaire and philanthropist may however not be shocked by this - as Dr. Mike Adenuga does not do his things the usual way. He is not known for throwing big parties around, except on very rare occasions. Despite his humongous wealth and immeasurable philanthropy, he is not given to frivolities and unnecessary publicity. He is said to be one of the shyest men anyone can think of. He does not attend parties, except on some rare occasions when he steps out for certain people who he shares strong, close bonds with. He is just not the regular type of human!
However, as quiet as the celebration of his 70th birthday may go, those who are really in know tell of the many faces this great son of Africa will be causing smiling on to mark the milestone (as he had done in the past) - albeit rather quietly.
