Why Mike Adenuga Is Not Celebrating 70th Birthday Big


Otunba Dr. Michael Adeniyi Ishola Adenuga is going to be 70 come Saturday 29 April, 2023.   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, disappointing those expecting a mega celebration.

The boardroom guru has decided not to have a loud parties on that day. According to those close to him, Chairman of Globacom and Conoil Plc has chosen to be at home with his family reflecting and thanking God for 70 years of abundant grace.

He is said to have also 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 really 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 most shy men anyone can think of.

He does not attend parties, except 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 tells 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.
