ON Friday, August 30, 2013 Otunba Michael
Subomi Balogun had a media chat with select
journalists in his porch house at 1, Milverton
Road, Ikoyi. The chat was centered on “FCMB
at 30: a reflection from the founder.” Otunba
Subomi, in a very relaxed form said “I am not
a pharisee of real life experience, my journey
to what you now see had been divinely guided.
And if you care to know, I’m happy and
thankful. If any of you go to PrimroseTower,
the headquarters of the organisation, this
block prim-rose-tower is dedicated to the
glory of God as an embodiment of a young
man’s faith in the unfailing support of the
Almighty God and in his own destiny, in spite
of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
It is also a monument of a young Nigerian’s
determination to succeed and prove that given
the opportunity, Nigerians have the capacity to
attain a commanding height in the
management of financial institutions. Lastly, it
serves as a lesson to all and mankind that in all
things, men may have their say but in the final
analysis, the Almighty God will have His way”.
Excerpts
HOW the journey stared
I had a dream, I had a vision. I was cheated, I
was an employee in another institution created
by Nigerians and Americans, as well an
expertise I would say, but I was the brain
behind the whole thing. I went on a course in
the US and I came back with ideas with which
we should set up a merchant bank.
