The name of Sunday Igboho is widely known in the city of Ibadan. He is a politician and businessman, whose attention is said to be devoted to human problems and protection of their rights.
The rich and the powerful are known to ask for his advice because if Sunday would talk to influential people all he would do is to open any doors to make the justice done!
The first breath Sunday Igboho made in his life was on October 10 in 1972. His real name is Sunday Adeyemo. He hails from Igboho town, located in the area of Oke Ogun, Oyo State. Later, the family left for Modakeke in Osun State but after the war there, Sunday moved to Igboho.
One will, probably, wonder about why Sunday chose the nickname “Igboho”. During one of his interviews, he told a story about its origin. He said that people in Yoruba Land tend to give people “names” based on where they reside.
Noting that his father was called “Baba Igboho” because he comes from Igboho, he revealed that he was then being called “Sunday Omo Baba Igboho”. Meanwhile, after Sunday’s father moved from Modakeke because of the war, people started calling him Sunday “Igboho”, which stayed with him, even, after moving to Ibadan.
Sunday’s career started from being a mechanic and a motorcycle repairer but he later went into business, meeting the right people of great importance to do it well. At present, apart from human rights protection, he does business worldwide. He has established a car sales business and own a company ‘Adeson International Business Concept Ltd’.
Sunday Igboho takes car sales to be the main business of his life because he has been selling them since youth.
Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) met Governor Lam Adesina when there was petrol scarcity in Ibadan, Oyo State when people had to wait in long queues from dawn to refuel their cars.
On one fateful day, Sunday was the only person who has enough courage to resist the soldiers and Adesina’s convoy, who wanted to break the line at a fuel station. Soon, he was called to Lam Adesina to tell the reason for his actions and his explanation was that ‘all people were born equal’.
Sunday Adeyemo has two wives: the first one lives in Canada while the second wife lives in Germany. Thus, Sunday is a happy father of girls and boys, he believes in God and advises people to keep their minds open.
