While explaining how he met late Alahaji Ojolowo and how the Muslim scholar rescued his business, he said, he is yet to meet such a generous giver.
“Alhaji Ojolowo re-empowered me when I lost everything.
“ I was the first licensed phones and SIMs ( MTN and Econnet ) dealer in Oyo state, I sells brand new phones with SIM cards, customers comes from all places to buy phone and SIM from me. I had my ware-house at Akinloye Complex, Basorun, Ibadan. It was at the time I met Alhaji Ojolowo, he is one of the trusted Hajj and Ummurah Travel agents, he do travel a lot, so anytime he travelled overseas, he will buy phones for me to sell and I will remit him his money after sold.
“ In 2001, my ware-house was burgled, all phones stolen, included all the phones Alhaji gave me to sell for him, everything gone in the twinkle of an eye.
“Days after when I met Alhaji Ojolowo, i narrated my ordeal, with the hope to bargain with him how I will be refunding his own phone’s money, all he said was, it is ok, he asked me to get into his car and drove me to Trans-International Bank ( TIB ), defunct now, when we got there, he ordered his bank officer to give me N1 Million , a very high money then, he told me to add it up again to the business, I though it was a loan, but, Alhaji Ojolowo never collect a dime back. Such gesture was afavour I will never forget in life.
“ late Alhaji Ojolowo is a kind hearted man during his lifetime, a trusted Muslim scholar and a cheerful giver. It painful we lost someone like him.
“Oyo state has lost a humanitarian,
“Ibarapa Community has lost a gem,
Muslim community has lost Ulama”. Olopoeyan said
