If there was ever any uncertainty about the power of money to silence foolishness, Monday, April 27, put an end to that discussion. The historic town of Ikenne-Remo awoke with renewed energy and excitement as the billionaire Chairman of Bet9ja, ValueJet, and Remo Stars FC, Kunle Soname, entered the exclusive ‘Diamond Club’ of 60 with style.
It wasn’t merely a birthday; it was an intense ‘owambe’ lesson. Who claims you can’t celebrate on a Monday? When you’re the first Nigerian to possess a European football club and the individual who guided Remo Stars to victory in the 2024–25 NPFL season, the calendar bends to your will.
The Ereke Civic Centre was turned into a symbol of opulence. The day began with an emotionally moving birthday song and a brief ceremony to celebrate the creator. Under the guidance of the renowned Yemi Sodimu as host, the ambiance was a perfect mix of reverence and high energy.
Gospel star Yinka Alaseyori made a huge impact, guiding energetic worship that had wealthy individuals and influential figures moving to the rhythm.
The invitees included some of Nigeria’s most prominent figures. The event was graced by the presence of Governor Dapo Abiodun (the host Governor), Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu from Lagos, and the Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, who were all present.
Inside the room, which was filled to capacity, were figures from the corporate sector and positions of influence: Ogun SSG Tokunbo Talabi, Bukola Olopade, and Sen. Mamora. Representing the finance industry was Ladi Balogun, MD of FCMB. Additionally, leaders from various sectors and communities were in attendance, including Otunba Bimbo Ashiru (Oodua Group), Olubunmi Kuku (FAAN MD), Phillip Shaibu (NIS DG), Hon. Kafila Ogbara, Moyo Ogunlewe, and others.
Underneath the agbadas and the sparkling lace outfits lay a deep tribute to a man hailed as a symbol of great achievement. From gaming to flying with ValueJet, Soname has shown that honesty and success can truly go together.
As the sun dipped below the horizon in Ikenne, the message was evident: Kunle Soname is not only a billionaire but also a philanthropist with a profound commitment to youth development and sports growth, matching the depth of his wealth.
Congratulations on your 60th birthday, the leader of the business world. Wishing your Remo Stars to keep shining brightly, and may your ‘Valu’ always remain at the ‘Jet’ level.
