Dr. Taiwo Afolabi: 63 Years of Indelible Impact and Achievements

 



By: Quadri Olowolagba 


Some men were born great, while some achieve greatness through grit, determination, and unwavering focus, all hinged on unassailable integrity. One such man in the Nigerian corporate firmament, especially in the maritime sector today, is Dr. Taiwo AFOLABI, the indefatigable chairman of SIFAX GROUP, a leading Nigerian maritime company.


Dr. Taiwo Afolabi's impact on Nigerian contemporary society today can never be underrated as a visionary corporate titan and uncommon philanthropist.


Dr. Taiwao Afolai, a man with a Midas touch who everything he touches turns to gold, was born.


As this corporate titan and philanthropist turns 63 today, we, the management and staff of Squared Media Group at large, use this opportunity to join family, friends, and associates all over the world to wish our daddy and unforgettable benefactor a heartfelt happy birthday, even as we pray the good Lord, whom you serve so selflessly, to grant you peace, strength, expansion on all sides, and a long life to continue to serve God and humanity as you have always done.


Happy birthday and many, many happy returns.

Yes. You read that right. Like a badly scripted attempt at intimidation, the chairman — whose tenure ends in just a few days — made the fatal error of assuming that political power could override royal decorum. Unfortunately for him, the prince retaliated swiftly, with what witnesses have hilario...

  Tensions flared once again at the Owode Motor Spare Parts Market in Lagos early Thursday morning as alleged landgrabbers, accompanied by heavily armed policemen and thugs, reportedly stormed the market and began a renewed wave of demolitions, despite a standing court injunction. According to traders at the scene, the early morning operation involved the use of caterpillars to demolish shops, while police operatives fired shots into the air to disperse resisting market occupants. Several traders were allegedly injured in the fracas, with pictorial and video evidence said to support the claims. This incident follows an earlier raid on March 6, 2025, when over 500 shops were demolished, sparking widespread protests and a formal petition submitted to both the Lagos State House of Assembly and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on March 27. With no governmental intervention forthcoming, affected traders turned to the courts. The case, B.I. Olowu vs Shomolu and Kosofe Local Governments (Suit ...
