Seyi Tinubu: More Than a Name, A Visionary in Action

Seyi Tinubu: A success more than just the Name

 

It was General Colin Powell, first African-American Secretary of States who said ‘Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.’ This quote can best describe the trajectory of Oluseyi Afolabi Tinubu. There is no gainsaying that the influence of parents on their children’s success is profound and multifaceted, extending beyond mere financial or educational support. The journey to success is often riddled with challenges, setbacks, and moments of self-doubt. That’s where parents come in by providing the emotional support and motivation that can turn these stumbling blocks into stepping stones. In the case of Seyi Tinubu, he undoubtedly enjoys his parents’ encouragement and belief in his abilities. That’s where it ends as these alone have built his self-confidence and the drive to persevere.

It is believed in many quarters that Seyi’s success has everything to do with the influence of his equally very successful father and Nigeria’s President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, to the contrary, the young man’s sole aim has been to earn the respect of his hardworking father, which was the reason he went out of his way to embrace entrepreneurship early and float businesses in areas different from his multi-talented father’s interests especially in the area of marketing communication and digital enterprise.

As an entrepreneur, Seyi has had a very interesting journey full of learning curves and hurdles. He is the most underrated young chief executive officer in Nigeria as the head honcho of Loatsad Promomedia, a leading digital and out-of-home advertising company. While he has been able to easily scale some of these trials, Seyi has had to retry some, and in some cases, walked away to acquire new knowledge to start others afresh. All these with no financial assistance from his wealthy father.

*His true trajectory*

Seyi —after finishing from Nigeria Law School and eventually called to the bar— decided to figure out what he really wanted to do with his life: will it be the Bar or Boardroom? This became important as he wouldn’t want to be tied to his father’s apron but rather creates his own path. He settled for the boardroom. There and then, the young man decided to map out different opportunities with a childhood friend —Adenrele Olusoga— who together tested the water with different innovations including an online movie streaming platform similar to Netflix and Prime. But the experience failed. However, this experience opened his eyes to opportunities in the digital space. His love for innovation fueled his interest in digital advertising. Hence, alongside his buddy, Adenrele, they decided to float Loatsad Promomedia to operate both in the digital and out-of-home sub-sector of the advertising industry. They merged the resources from most of their previous start-up companies —with additional contributions from his then fiancée and now wife, Layal— and applied to the relevant bodies and got the licence to operate. And in the shortest time, the company discovered its niche and has made a significant impact.

Seyi and his team of young, daring and intelligent men and women, in a matter of years, grow Loatsad to a force competing with the existing ones. In their ways, they decided to form SDM Communications, a company that has now become known since its establishment with a longstanding track record of pioneering digital media solutions in Nigeria.

*The Loatsad/SDM Deals*

Loatsad/SDM was the exclusive partner for Truecaller after-call screen and in-app advertisements across the country between 2016 and 2018. The company successfully sold more than 85 per cent of the available inventory to Nigerian clients in banking industry, real estate, and FMCG sectors.

Loatsad/SDM is also among the first agencies to run Snapchat digital advertising campaigns in Nigeria. The company started the partnership in 2015 just four years after Snapchat was established, helping local and international brands engage diverse audiences through one of the world’s most innovative social platforms.

Apart from these successes, the Seyi Tinubu-owned Loatsad/SDM was the exclusive reseller for Shazam Ads in Nigeria from 2014 till late 2018 and it was Apple’s acquisition that ended that cooperation. Shazam is a format that is facilitating highly effective campaigns for music artists and major consumer brands. The deal was through a strategic partnership with the EMEA rights holder based in Dubai.

The list of other platforms the company had collaborated with includes; Dutch Internet-based computer file transfer service company WeTransfer, mobile programmatic advertising company Admaxim, leading global payments processing company Rocketfuel, and bootstrapped mobile advertising platform Airpush to deliver effective digital advertising solutions throughout Nigeria.

The determination to earn his father’s respect was the fuel that has been powering Seyi’s ambition and it was because of this that he has been working tirelessly to build his company to becoming the industry leader in Africa and one of the best in the world and this he has been doing —albeit with advice from his cerebral father.

Seyi has proven that the rule of successful business modules is to dream, to be determined and audacious in planning your finances towards the dreamed project and the need to create a timeline alongside the financial plans and seek God’s help and guidance because everybody needs a little luck to have a successful plan.

Rita Edochie Slams Critics Over Questions About Her Husband and Children: “Are You Monitoring Spirits?”

 

Nollywood veteran actress Rita Edochie has lashed out at social media users incessantly inquiring about her husband and children, calling their behavior invasive and unwarranted.

Taking to her social media page on Wednesday, Edochie expressed her frustration over the persistent curiosity surrounding her private life. In a scathing response, she questioned the motives of those asking such personal questions, suggesting they were acting like “monitoring spirits.”

The actress posted: “Everybody has a lifestyle, and if you don’t like mine, too bad. Rita Edochie, where is your husband? Where are your children? If all these people asking me this kind of question aren’t monitoring spirits, what have they got to do with knowing about my family?”

Edochie emphasized that her social media platform is a curated space where she shares what she deems appropriate, urging critics to stay within those boundaries.

“Whatever I give you in this internet street should always be your intake. Bring up your family history and see me join to discuss it,” she added.

Her sharp retort was accompanied by a positive note to her supporters. “Good morning great lovers of Rita Edochie. I wish y’all a happy midweek,” she concluded.

The post has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans applauding the actress for setting boundaries while others debated the responsibilities of public figures regarding transparency about their personal lives.

Edochie, a celebrated figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, has long maintained a firm stance on protecting her family from public scrutiny. Her latest response serves as a bold reminder of her resolve to maintain privacy despite being a public figure.

Ogun Police Confirm Portable’s Custody Amid Assault Allegations

Ogun Police Confirm Portable’s Custody Amid Assault Allegations

Drama Unfolds: Controversial Singer Portable Surrenders to Police Amid Assault Investigation

In a dramatic turn of events, controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, surrendered himself to the authorities on Wednesday amidst an escalating legal storm.

The Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that Portable voluntarily turned himself in at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, before being transferred to Ogun State. Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer Omolola Odutola further confirmed Portable’s arrival at the State CID in Abeokuta at precisely 1:23 pm.

Odutola’s statement emphasized that Portable’s case would be handled with due diligence. “His presence is in connection with an ongoing investigation. The public is assured that the case will follow due process,” she said. She also warned against spreading unverified rumors and stressed that Portable’s celebrity status would not grant him any special treatment.

Storm of Allegations

The singer is being investigated over a violent altercation with officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development during an enforcement operation at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu, Ota. Portable allegedly arrived at the scene armed with a firearm and led a group of nine thugs to assault the officials, who reportedly sustained injuries but managed to flee.

Following the attack, nine of Portable’s alleged accomplices were arrested, while the singer reportedly went into hiding. The Ogun State Police Command, frustrated by his failure to respond to multiple formal invitations, obtained a court order declaring him wanted.

Portable’s Rant: “I’m a Federal Government Liability”

In typical fashion, Portable took to social media on Tuesday to rant about the allegations. The singer declared he was mentally unstable and under psychiatric care at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, in Abeokuta. “I am a madman. I have medications I take. You can confirm from Aro Hospital. I have a card that certifies me as their patient,” he claimed.

Portable also alleged he was being targeted due to his support for Ogun West Senator Adeola Solomon, known as “Yayi.” He vehemently denied the assault charges, insisting that he helps people and is not a criminal.

Arraignment of Portable’s Associates

Meanwhile, nine of Portable’s alleged accomplices have already faced the Magistrate Court in Isabo, Abeokuta, on charges including assault, felony, unlawful restriction, possession of weapons, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace. The defendants pleaded not guilty and are awaiting further proceedings.

Ongoing Investigation

Odutola confirmed that Portable’s trial dates are yet to be set, but the police are determined to ensure justice is served. “Portable is a Nigerian and should not be treated as if he is above the law,” she reiterated.

As the case unfolds, all eyes remain on Portable, whose volatile reputation and frequent outbursts have now landed him at the center of a legal firestorm. Whether he will emerge unscathed or face the full weight of the law remains to be seen.
