At 40, oil magnate, Sholaye Jeremi, is every inch a gracious champ. Like most champs, he makes a good first impression. As he clocks 40 today, his story pulsates a pleasurable lore of labour, perseverance, reinvention and accomplishment. It projects the fate of a man immune to the proverbial fatal weakness of character oft derided by conservatives as carefree folk’s Achilles heel. Jeremi personifies a classic success story of the man who grew to be titan under the heavy weight of daunting odds, along the torturous path to acclaim.
Asides his manifest depth, he presents with zero haughtiness; he is at heart, very private and unpretentiously modest. His towering humility excites cozy presumptions about his attitude which leads many of his acquaintances to believe that he is the type of dude you can sit next to in a plane and start a conversation with on any issue, even if you are just meeting.
However, all roads lead to Ghana tonight as all the big boys in oil sector are ready to celebrate the young man who has done well for himself. Trust Sholaye, the rivers of champagne and expensive alcoholic drinks would be thinned to a tributary in Ghana. Who knows, Sholaye and friends might be sailing on a yacht for different territorial waters with stops in the party cities of the world.
