IN SHORT

Winning the 1990 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant was an unexpected surprise that could have easily been the high-water mark of Adenike Oshinowo’s life, but on the contrary it was a spark for greater achievements to come. The business success she has gone on to realize in the twenty-five years since is paralleled by her penchant for hard work and determination to find satisfaction and happiness in all that she does. “Life should never be about pursuing money. It should be about doing what you love and what makes you happy – but we have to work hard and we have to support each other.”
