Orikolade Karim Rejoices at 55

There is no better concrete definition of a man born under the proverbial lucky star for the Nigerian billionaire businessman Orikolade Karim.

Since childhood, his path has been laced with more roses than thorns.

It is a well-known fact that Karim, who is also the Agbaboye of Ibadanland,  didn’t attain his towering status and position by chance or mere luck. With dedication, hard work and prayers, he was able to climb the ladder of success within a short while.

Highly cosmopolitan and blessed with the demeanour of a perfect gentleman, Karim, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Shoreline International, is now a world-class consummate businessman, investor, and oil and gas guru.

Last Friday, the amiable mogul clocked 55. The Oyo State-born businessman, whom Providence has granted the grace to get the best out of life, appreciated God’s grace and for sparing his life so far.

Not given to loud and elaborate birthday celebrations,  Society Watch gathered that the birthday boy celebrated the new age touching lives with his usual goodness and munificence.

 Expectedly, he also enjoyed a flood of greetings, and goodwill messages poured on him by his friends, fans, business associates as well as admirers who described him as a friend and brother of a rare kind.
