Biodun Shobanjo is one of Nigeria’s finest marketing communications practitioners. He is the CEO of the new reality TV series, The Apprentice Africa. Born 77 years ago to a peripatetic civil servant, the Shobanjo family’s peregrinations imbued the young man with a cosmopolitan world-view and his
early experience as a broadcaster prepared him for life as an advertising practitioner.

Biodun Shobanjo, who rose to the post of Deputy Managing Director of Grant Advertising before his 30th birthday, co-founded Insight Communications (now Insight Grey) in 1979 and has today grown the company from the initial 18 men strong team into an advertising behemoth.

The Troyka Group which is the holding company for Insight, SKG2 Optimum Exposure, Media Perspective, MediaCom, Quadrant and Halogen amongst others employs over seven thousand Nigerian men and women. Biodun Shobanjo attributes his success to a fierce determination and a steely can-do attitude. “I was young when I left Grant advertising and young people are very daring, so it didn’t cross my mind that I wouldn’t make it.

Again, without meaning to be immodest, I really have never failed in my life. But if you’re not used to failing you don’t even contemplate failure.” The ever dapper and sartorially elegant man of style says there are four essential elements for success, and he lists them as Professionalism. The other is honour. The third is integrity. The fourth is passion. They come in any order but if you have these four things, chances are that you’re going to succeed.”

A consummate advertising and marketing communications practitioner, Biodun Shobanjo is a perfect choice for the CEO of The Apprentice Africa because as a believer in people, his business style has favoured a mentoring ambience which has spawned protégés who are leading lights of the advertising and marketing communications industry in Nigeria.

Today, the top 10 CEOs of the top 10 advertising and marketing communications outfits in Nigeria are proud alumni of what admirers love to refer to as the “Insight University.” Biodun Shobanjo brings to the Apprentice Africa almost forty years of top-notch corporate experie

Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye (born 1951), also known as Nike Okundaye, Nike Twins Seven Seven and Nike Olaniyi, is a Nigerian batik and Adire textile
designer.
Over the past twenty years, she has given workshops on traditional Nigerian textiles to audiences in the United States and Europe. She had her first solo exhibition at the Goethe Institute, Lagos in 1968.
She is the founder and director of Nike Art Gallery, an art gallery with four centers in Nigeria offering training to over 150 young artists in visual, musical and performing arts, comprising more than 7,000 artworks.
Finding that the traditional methods of weaving and dyeing that had been her original inspiration were fading in Nigeria, Davies-Okundaye set about launching a revival of this aspect of Nigerian culture, building art centres offering free courses for young Nigerians to learn traditional arts and crafts.
In her eyes the traditional art of Adire Eleko is only possible because of a specific Nigerian heritage of passing knowledge from one generation to the next. In a video interview published by Nubia Africa, Okundaye states that "school can only teach what they [art students] already know."
According to a CNBC Africa interview, she trained more than 3000 young Nigerians for free and she continues to help by funding many poor to establish their small businesses and art workshops in different parts of Nigeria.
Celebrate this amazing personality Nike Okundaye.

The University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan has come a long way since 1957 when it was commissioned as the first tertiary hospital in Nigeria and the West African sub-region. It was modelled after the University of London Teaching Hospital in the United Kingdom. From its architectural grandeur to the range of specialized health care services it offered, the hospital actually ranked among the best of its kind in the world while taking the lead in the African continent.
