10 Ajegunle People That Made It And Never Remembered Their Roots
Everybody that comes from Ajegunle community in Ajeromi-Ifelodun local Government Area of Lagos State should be proud of their origins than showcasing their acclaimed new status of life. In the last National Assembly elections in Lagos State, Barr.
Rita Orji promised to project Ajegunle community at the National Assembly which no political leader has done since the creation of Ajeromi-Ifelodun local Government Area in Nigeria. Many of these Ajegunle achievers have failed to project Ajegunle to the world than seeing themselves as world lords.
Ajegunle image is poorly projected by these so-called Ajegunlites but the good news is that without these achievers, Ajegunle is still growing day by day with great men and women emerging from their passions. Again, Daddy Showkey is one Ajegunle product that has been projecting Ajegunle at any forum without be intimidated.Ajegunle is blessed with abundant talents to the core.10 Ajegunle people that made it and never extended their philanthropic gestures to the up and coming Ajegunlites are:
1.Michael Collins Ajereh is popularly known as ‘Don Jazzy’ and one of the richest music producer in Africa but failed to groom young musicians in Ajegunle.Galala music has gone under the bridge due to lack of sponsorship which has made many of these frustrated Ajegunle musicians to take Baba Ijebu as their alternative source of income.
