When Tiwa Savage and Tunji Balogun’s marriage packed up a few months ago, Tunji pointed accusatory fingers at his dad Ibrahim Olatunji Balogun Snr.
He accused his
father of implanting his polygamous hormones into him, and that all
effort not to be like him failed, and that his failed marriage is the
fault of his father as his crumbled marriage has similar lifespan just
like that of his parents.
Well, Societygazetteng.com has just uncovered some stuffs about Tunji’s dad, read their report below:
Tee Billz’s father is the immediate past President of the
Computer and Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN).
Sources revealed that the man became popular in the Africa’s largest IT
market as the owner of Balotech Nigeria Ltd, on Oremeji Layout of the
Computer Village, before he later moved to start another company Brain
Computers on Medical Road axis of the market.
Society Gazette was reliably informed that he was selected to hold the position
of President of the association without election, when the group was
newly formed late 2004, and he held sway till the uproar about his
leadership deficiency forced the executive out later in December 2014,
when Alhaji Ganiyu Alimi, the Chairman of CAPDAN BoT inaugurated an 11
man electoral committee to take charge of the election process.
Balogun
and his crew were accused of blocking people from joining the
association for personal benefit, findings in the market revealed that
his intentionally hike the membership form fee to discourage membership
drive of those having business interest in the IT market. This is
further enhanced as most of them are not privy to the benefit they stand
to gain as members of the association whereas very few who are members
of the executive and their families are feeding fat on their effort and
labor.
Sources within the market explained that the executive was
so reckless in their activities that they allegedly refuse to give
account of their stewardship all the 10 years they spent as the market
executives. They were was accused of collecting a huge amount of money
in dollar from Microsoft and diverting such for their personal use, they
were also alleged to have collected money for branding and not giving
it to those who such money is meant for.
His executives were
alleged to have cornered an IT training organized for phone engineers by
Samsung where they allegedly send their family members.
It was
even rumored that one of such money was used by Balogun to convey his
executives and friends to the Dubai white wedding of Tiwa Savage,
sources within the Computer village also claim that they decided with
the money meant for the people working in the market to charter the
flight that took them to the Dubai wedding fiasco.
Grapevine
source revealed that the election to choose new executives of CAPDAN was
frustrated after the December 2014 inauguration, when it became obvious
they will not be having an easy stroll back into power, they decided to
render the electoral committee that was given a mandate to put in place
new executive in 2 months ineffective.
It took
the intervention of the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode, who directed the Sole-Administration of Ikeja Local Government,
to conduct the election in one month and it was the directive that
breathe life into the committee that has been in coma.
The
election which is fixed for 11th July is reaching fever pitch and the
barrier of membership form fee was also broken as the price was crashed
to N1,000. While interested individuals are in the process of being
screened for eligibility to contest for the desired positions.
