Speaking at the event, the MD/CEO of Sujimoto, Sijibomi Ogundele, was very quick to appreciate everyone including critics. According to him, “pessimists don’t know this, but they contribute more to our success than our failures.”
The Luxury Real Estate genius metaphorically compared the Sujimoto story to the Chinese Bamboo tree, explaining how it takes 5 years to nurture and groom the tree before it finally breaks ground, and grows 30 meters tall in five weeks.

My prayer is that all other young Nigerians will use Suji as a prayer point.
“In Nigeria, rather than for people to appreciate the hard work you put into getting to where you are, they will keep looking for how to find faults. It’s called The pull him down syndrome. You know, even if you were selling ice cream, or giving it out for free, people will still be unhappy and say all sorts of things about you. So I advise that you cannot and should never attempt to make everyone happy. Be diligent, hardworking and most importantly be a man of integrity”.
The governor concluded by saying, “Our father Chief Osoba and him, are not too surprised about your success story, it is an Ogun state thing, this is our standard.”

“Smart investors marvelled at the sheer investment value of the Lucrezia property and despite the economic downturn, Sujimoto sold over 1.9B naira worth of the Lucrezia because when they visited the Giuliano, they saw the huge intrinsic investment Value and quickly keyed in.
