Glad Tidings as Grand Master of Entertainment, Femi Aderibigbe Joins Golden Club
There are businessmen and there are businessmen. In Nigeria, there is no doubt that some of the most daring and successful of both groups have long since crossed the threshold of the golden age. Those that have yet to or are only a few years in are the real masters of the business sector. Within this group, Femi Aderibigbe is very close to the top. In a handful of days, this grand master of entertainment will clock the golden age of 50, securing his position as one of the most successful business persons in the country.
They say that natives of Ijebuland in Ogun State have as natural an instinct for business as fish for water. This observation has been proved to be true time and time again. Aderibigbe is the not earliest or latest evidence of this claim, but there is no questioning its authenticity in his accomplishments and expansion over the years. Come October 2, 2021, he will join the golden club and stand alongside his equally successful seniors as pillars of that old and illustrious community.
Even among his fellows from Ijebu, Aderibigbe stands out for the multiplicity of his interests. These interests can be summed up in one word: entertainment. That is why even though
Aderibigbe is one of the most dazzling figures in the Nigerian entertainment domain, only a relative few know his true name. The majority of Nigerians know him simply as Kwame, a grand master of entertainment and show business.
Attached to this grand master ’s name are brands like Orisun TV, Prime, Magic Factory, Television Entertainment Network (TEN), among many others. Thus, Kwame is himself a brand that has eclipsed so many others. And no wonder, considering that he started nursing this passion when he was only a teenager and managed to travel the entire orbit of mainstream media and show business before he clocked 30.
More than three decades have gone by but Aderibigbe is infinitely closer to the top. At 50 and after, there will doubtless be many more milestones with Aderibigbe’s name, all of them flashing his cool and characteristic distinction.
