Nigeria is a nation rich in mineral resources with loads of talented human beings, the good, the bad and the ugly, such characteristics could be found in the Nigerian society like every other places around the world.
Additionally, there are many opportunities in the nation, and some people who might be open to and do not know how to use it. There are many moneybags who are silent about their wealth and helping other people, while some, however, are loud about it. Money, they say, makes the world go round!
In the age of social media, many wealthy people, even so-called billionaires, do not hide their vanities at every chance they get, they flaunt material acquisitions and make noise about their charity works. Some, however, are everywhere, helping others silently, with the little they can while getting busy to double their income.
A man of wealth with so much humility is Kunle Soname, who, according to Naijanetworth.com in its 2023 update, estimated his net worth as N280 billion Naira. A known sports figure and entrepreneur who hardly jumps in front of the camera and modest in his appearance. He owns football clubs in Nigeria and in Europe, possesses massive landed properties, owns an airline, a betting company, among other private investments by this business mogul.
The unassuming Chief Soname is willing to help and readily available to support good cause – a thorough philanthropist.
His doors are always open to new ideas. Easy going, lover of humanity and a strong believer in women empowerment and mentorship. You will always find him or his company supporting or funding major gender-based sports in the country.
He never shies away from sharing his wealth and knowledge with others, always in touch with the grassroots and underprivileged communities.
The ever smiling Nigerian billionaire clocks 57 today, and I am writing to wish him well and celebrate a modest, great, and graceful man.
Happy birthday, Chief Kunle Soname. Igba Odun, Odun Kan!
