Enan Galaly, the most famous dishwasher who is now Hotel Tycoon
In this interview, Afroscandic spoke with Enan Galaly the famous dishwasher whose live is an inspiration to young people everywhere. Enan Galaly is a philanthropist, entrepreneur and a subject for media interest around the world.
No one would ever believe that the 20 years old young man, who left Egypt with ten English pounds starting his career as a newspaper seller and a dishwasher, would become after years, the Senior Advisor for the International Association for University Presidents, knight of Dannebrog of Denmark, the Founder and president of Helnan International Hotels among others.
Her Majesty Queen Margrette II of Denmark signed an official Royal decree to bestow on Enan Galaly, one of the highest titles in Denmark, “Knight of Dannebrog“. This honor is considered by the country as an appreciation for his role and efforts in exerting to serve and enhance locally and internationally the “Royal Danish Kingdom” prestige and significance.
Enan Galaly travelled to Vienna, Austria, where he sold newspaper and lived on the streets, and then made his way to Denmark, where he washed dishes to earn meals. From such inauspicious beginning, he went on to build an international hotel chain and become an influential world citizen.
Galaly had neither money, experience nor even an education therefore; he had to depend on his mind, and his initiative and hard work when deciding to wash dishes for the purpose of getting a meal in the hotel and restaurant industry.
Then he took up different jobs in hotels and restaurants to increase his business experience. He joined the hotel and restaurant school in Denmark and developed his knowledge by taking special studies in economics at the school of commerce and a degree from The Hotel and Restaurant School. After several years in Denmark, he became a Danish citizen.

Pastor Joshua Oladokun 50th Birthday Celebration in Malmø, Sweden
The day was indeed bright and beautiful and the sun was glowing gracefully as guest from all walks of life gathered in the city of Malmø to celebrate the 50th Birthday Anniversary of a great man of God Pastor Joshua Oladokun.
According to Jim Rohn ‘’ whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness- great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy’’ and this has come true in Pastor Joshua’s life. His well-organized 2- day extravaganza was filled with glamour, grandeur and was very entertaining. It was colorful and regal.
Who is Pastor Joshua Oladokun? When Lucius Annaeus Seneca wrote ‘’ it is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness’’ he had Pastor Joshua Oladokun in mind.
Pastor Joshua Oladokun is a husband, father, pastor, philanthropist, an entrepreneur and investor with successful companies in his portfolio. He was born on the 2nd of April in 1963 to Pa Isaac and Abigael Oladokun in Odoka compound, Ifelodun local government area, Iree, Osun state. Nigeria.
He attended Baptist Day School from 1970 to 1976 and as he could not further his education, he decided to learn fashion designing and subsequently moved to Benin where he served as a fashion designing apprentice before he started his own fashion designing outlet in Benin City. He also alongside his fashion designing business ran a car business with his Uncle.
