Turnupibadan:May we meet you?
Tolu:I'm Tolu Oluwo, known in some climes as Bro Tee, and in some other climes as Tolu (tRoG)
Turnupibadan:Hmm,nice!
tRoG here Trogworld there....what does this mean?
Tolu:Thank you. "tRoG" is an acronym for The Rest of God. This was inspired during my personal study of the Bible. I realized a generation of people were coming who would enter into God's rest. Other laboured, but we came to enjoy the fruits of their labour. And I saw we were that people. That's why everything we do in tRoGworld is characterized by Grace. And it's the same for those who support the vision
Turnupibadan:Wow! THAT'S GREAT!!!How was your growing up like?
Tolu;Very eventful. Firstly, God have gave me the best of Parents. They ensured we grew up with very strong moral ethics. They created a great family-spirit amongst us. We have a "cult-like" approach to family. We(my siblings and I are the best friends we have. We celebrate ourselves the most and we also criticize ourselves positively the most! S/O to my amazing Siblings). And we are still that way decades after we were born.
We are blessed with Parents who gave us quality time, quality education to mention but a few.
Nothing was too much to give us. We were overwhelmed with the best of everything.
And our Parents ensured we had a "Kinging" mindset. You can't be beggarly or apologetic in our home! And we were and still very respectful.
I also grew up with amazing friends. And went to the best of Schools.
Growing up was full and fun
Turnupibadan:Before we go into the entrepreneur part,we'll like to know the education part too
Tolu:No o
It limits people who read sometimes
They think we are who we are because of what we studied or didn't study
Turnupibadan:Your wish!!!Now...let's talk ibadan,what can you say about this city?
Tolu:Ibadan is a city of many firsts. Yes, I agree it lost that pace at some point. We had what I can liken to "talents drain".
Not a few entrepreneurs left this City to help build what we now celebrate in other cities and even Countries.
Ibadan at a point stopped celebrating her very own. We became lethargic in our approach to business and life.
Life became complacent for many.
Ibadan became a place where people retire too.
But things have changed!
There is the birth of a #newibadan
The emergence of world-class Entrepreneurs and Career-people who are poised to change the narratives.
A people who understand the best of business practices, are willing to learn, unlearn and re-learn and most importantly leave indelible footprints in the sands of time.
Turnupibadan:Yes the #newibadan..i guess this should be the new trend #NEWIBADAN
Tolu: yes sir
Turnupibadan:Yes! You've played a lot of part in bringing ibadan's own to the world,do you get commendation for that?
Tolu: Thank you for the kind words. We couldn't have done much without God, the amazing team we have and people like you who promote and celebrate what we do.
@commendation: The greatest commendation is seeing businesses excel and we are getting more and more of that.
Turnupibadan:Lemme go funny here.....you always putting on cap or hat ,why?
Tolu: Lol. I didn't even notice until recently. I think I got a lot as gifts and I wear to appreciate my friends who gave me
Turnupibadan:You being chosen as the TURNUP ICON for this week,how do you feel about this?
