Samuel Adedoyin Biography, Date Of Birth, Early Life, Family, Entrepreneurship Career

Born on the 4th of December, 1935, Chief Samuel Adedoyin is a Nigerian billionaire entrepreneur and industrialist.

He is the founder of Doyin Group, made up of agricultural, pharmaceutical and manufacturing businesses owned and managed by the Adedoyin family.

His parents moved to Agbamu, a Kwara State village while he was still young and he lived most of his early life there.

Chief Samuel was from a polygamous family, and he had his primary education at the Saint Paul Primary School, Agbamu.

In his family, only the first children of the different wives were sent to school but however, he was the second child and first son of his mother, so he got the privilege.

While he was still young, his parents had a disagreement and separated and his father eventually couldn't further his education again.

He eventually moved to Lagos and attempted migrating to England when he was 12 years old as a stowaway.

He was caught in Ghana and was supposed to go to jail but he was lucky and the Indian immigration official who apprehended him chose to be lenient.

Samuel eventually offered to become the Indian man's servant and he accepted the offer.

He performed poorly and was sent away after 10 days, and he moved in with another family in Kumasi.

With just one pound and 20 shillings payoff in his pocket, Chief Samuel went into trading in Kumasi, selling padlocks, door hinges, nails and other small household items.

He spent 13 months outside without his people knowing of his whereabouts and his father was accused of using him for ritual.

His mother visited many herbalists to find him to no avail, thereby accruing many debts the entrepreneur eventually paid.

Business and Early Career:-

He continued until he started dealing on umbrellas, and would collect on credit to pay the Indian dealer after the day's sale.

It came a day when his client forgot to come for his money, and he was tempted to take it.

He eventually returned it and the man shocked at the honesty, made him a dealer. This meant buyers will be coming to him directly, and he will be making a lot of money.

He soon became rich and bought his first plot of land with a Volkswagen car at age 18.

The success continued and he eventually moved to England, upgraded his career and has grown to become one of the biggest entrepreneurs in the country.

Samuel Adedoyin is married with children. He currently lives in Lagos State with his family.
