A Look Into The Hometown Of Mike Adenuga (Photos)Abdulmumuni A / 5 mins ago Aliko Dangote is number one on Forbes 2015 list of the 10 richest people in Africa but thereβs one other Nigerian on that list, and thatβs Mike Adenuga, the chairman of Glo. The telecommunication magnate is from Ijebu Igbo in Ogun state and heβs the 7th richest man in Africa according to Forbes. But how has this benefited the people in his hometown? Ijebu Igbo is hometown to many prominent Nigerians today.

The townβs the second largest in the state next to the capital Abeokuta, but is by far less developed than the capital. Illiteracy is prevalent; schools and hospitals lack basic facilities. There are only three banks in the whole town, and most people earn a low income. Adenuga built a branch of his Eq...

"I'm Childless! But, My Landlady Is Pregnant For My Husband!" Abdulmumuni / 3 mins ago My name is Myra and I'm a very angry and bitter woman. And it's all thanks to the 'witch' called Hetty, my landlady. ********************************************************** Before the 'Jezebel', came into our lives, my husband CJ and I were doing just fine. We had been married for about eight years and though we did not have children, CJ was not too worried. "When the time comes, we will have children. God's time is the best," he often said anytime I grew anxious over our childless state. You know how our African society is.
