Remi Adeleke Claims Banana Island Belongs to His Father, Reveals  How Govt “Stole” It

My Dad left Nigeria🇳🇬 in his late teens to be educated in the West

 

After completing his bachelor’s and Masters in the UK, he created multiple businesses in the West 🇺🇸🇬🇧and generated more wealth than he could have ever imagined.

 

Dad brought all his talents and expertise back to Nigeria with the hopes of creating a World Trade Center/African Wall Street.

 

When I was born in Nigeria🇳🇬 I was surrounded by wealth, servants, opulence and two loving parents who despite having it all, modeled the importance hard work, never being a victim and never being satisfied with mediocrity.

 

In 1987 the Nigerian government🇳🇬 illegally and corruptly stole all of my dad’s assets, including his man made island that’s now worth billions and was renamed to Banana Island.

 

While fighting the Nigerian government🇳🇬 in court, he mysteriously died weeks later.

 

We went from rich to poor over night.

 

Mom brought my brother and me to America🇺🇸

 

It wasn’t easy, as we literally started from the bottom in the Bronx🙅🏾

 

My brother and I applied what our parents instilled in us at an early age, and despite the plethora of mistakes I made, we both became very successful.

 

Without the opportunities America🇺🇸 has afforded my family, I’d be nothing. Yeah, America🇺🇸 isn’t perfect. We have our issues, just like every other country on the planet, but America🇺🇸 is one of the handful of places in the world where you can start with nothing, put in the work, and end up at the top.

 

I love this country🇺🇸, and I’m not ashamed to say it. And the moment I feel otherwise, I’m gonna pack my stuff up, teach my kids a new language, and seek life elsewhere.

 

With that said, #HappyIndependenceDay 🇺🇸 #4thofjuly
