Pastor Adeboye’s Son, Leke Claims He Made His First Million Through Sales Of Wristbands

Leke, son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said he made his first one million selling rubber.

Speaking in a recent interview, Leke reveals that everyone wants to hit it big but forget the essence of little profit.

According to Tribune, he said: ”I made my first million selling wristband, rubber to be precise.

Everybody else is always trying to hit the guy on the top, but they forget the little things, so you need to focus on the little things.

We use a lot of toothpicks in Nigeria; for example, who is supplying the toothpicks?

Promotional gift items for those that are doing branding wristbands are just rubber. But if I sell enough of those rubbers with a very tiny margin profit of N50 or N100 at a big Christian event, it adds up.”

Gov Adeleke Commends US Medical Teams, Reaffirms Family’s Humanitarian Tradition

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has commended the selfless support of American Medical teams for the people of Osun state, restating his family humanitarian tradition and his government’s people centered focus.

According to the Governor, ” I learned a lot in terms of prudence and transparency from my brother. His love for humanity and his model of achieving more with little are my mantra.

” Our administration has also embarked on free medical surgeries in which about 22 thousands Osun people benefitted. In private life , my brother through his foundation has been sponsoring free medical operations for our people in the last 17 years. I learn from my brother to implement projects that touch the poor, hence my focus on local water supply, grassroots community development projects and issues of workers welfare.

” In government, I rejected proposals for personal gains from some quarters as I was taught in the family. I told them I am not in power to enrich myself. Dr Deji is my role model whose contributions to human development remains unquantifiable as they are premised on honesty, accountability and loyalty to the people”, Governor Adeleke narrated.

He reaffirmed his commitment to equipping the hospitals through partnership with public spirited organisations locally and internationally, adding that his administration is delivering on its electoral promises and will not be distracted nor disappoint Osun people.

The Medical visitation project involved partners such as the Royal Wellness International, Merseyside and Precious Sight International with Springtime Development Foundation as the main sponsor.
