From Keke NAPEP to Corporate Heights: Otunba Nicholas Adebisi Shares His Journey on “The CEO Today”

 By Oriontimes Studio



In a compelling business conversation on “The CEO Today,” a flagship program anchored by Abioye Tosin Lawrence at Oriontimes Studio, Otunba Nicholas Adebisi, Founder of NICHOMES, offered a powerful narrative of grit, networking, and strategic growth in Nigeria’s real estate sector.



The Osun-born entrepreneur, now a respected real estate appraiser practicing in Yola, capital of Adamawa State, Northern Nigeria, traced his breakthrough moment to an unlikely setting: a ride in a Keke NAPEP (commercial tricycle).


“I met my benefactor inside Keke NAPEP. He gave me his contact, which I lost. But I was able to locate him through social media,” Adebisi recounted.

That encounter became a defining turning point. Determined not to lose opportunities again, Adebisi adopted a deliberate networking strategy, connecting with every client immediately on social media. According to him, digital visibility and sustained communication have become indispensable tools for modern business growth.


“Meeting people is the path to growth in business,” he emphasized.

Building Confidence, Earning Mentorship

After reconnecting with the benefactor he met during that tricycle ride, Adebisi focused on building trust and demonstrating competence. Over time, that relationship evolved into mentorship, one that continues to shape his business philosophy.


Through consistency, integrity, and professional excellence, he strengthened his credibility in the real estate appraisal industry. He stressed that integrity remains the core value sustaining his brand and long-term client relationships.

Expansion Vision: Osun on the Horizon

Now widely regarded as a real estate mogul in Northern Nigeria, Adebisi revealed plans to expand operations to Osun State, signaling a strategic move to deepen his footprint in the Southwest property market.


Industry observers see this as a calculated expansion, leveraging his Northern experience to tap into Osun’s evolving real estate landscape. With his structured approach to networking, mentorship-driven leadership, and commitment to ethical standards, the proposed new firm is expected to bring competitive energy into the region’s property appraisal and development ecosystem.

Lessons for Emerging Entrepreneurs

Adebisi’s story reinforces key business principles:

Opportunity can emerge from the most unexpected places.

Digital networking is a strategic asset, not a luxury.

Integrity builds sustainable brands.

Mentorship accelerates professional growth.

As featured on “The CEO Today,” his journey stands as a blueprint for young entrepreneurs navigating Nigeria’s dynamic business environment, proving that resilience, visibility, and character remain the ultimate currencies of success.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
