Below is his Facebook post on his memorable meeting with the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo:
The Bible says in Proverbs 22:1 (NLT)
Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
After we presented the Sapphire Scents Bespoke to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday, I thought I should also mention to him that he appointed my father as a federal commissioner at the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission that was the post my father held till he died in 2010. Baba looked at me and with a smile on his face he said: “oh, Aladejana is your father?”Baba became much more friendly and began to ask questions “how are sales? Is the business moving? ” He began to joke with my wife as well, he knew that we were from noble stock.

I learnt a lifelong lesson: one of the biggest investment you can give your children is a good name! My father died 7 years ago: but his name still gladdened a king’s heart. Whatever you are doing now think of tomorrow, will your name produce favour or hatred for your children in the future?
John D Rockefeller the richest man who ever lived after Solomon said: “the best capital a young man can have is a good name “. Protect your name, its all your children will have to invest and do business with after you are gone.
Receive wisdom in Jesus name.
