We had the good fortune of connecting with Oluwabusayo Ojo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Oluwabusayo, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The first reason is pursuing my passion for wealth creation, I grew up in a fairly comfortable home in Nigeria, Delta State to be precise. Even though I was privileged, I always felt some type of way looking at the other kid on the street with nothing to eat. I made it a goal in my life, to create wealth, not just for me, but for my community!

The Second reason is Independence and Autonomy, many entrepreneurs value the freedom and control that comes with starting their own business. They want to be their own boss and make decisions without being restricted by corporate hierarchies. I worked as an employee for only 2 years after graduating from University, I wanted that freedom! and I made it happen!

Finally Innovation and Creativity, Entrepreneurship allows individuals to innovate and create something new. They may have identified a gap in the market or a problem they want to solve, and starting a business becomes a way to introduce their innovative solutions. This challenge is what keeps me ticking, looking at ways to make an impact to my community!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Entrepreneur/Music Artist/Creative

As an Entrepreneur with over 12 years in the Technology Industry, I can boldly say what makes any business relevant and different from others is the ability of that entity to stay consistent, and stay true to its missions, visions and values, these are the only thing that can set you apart from others!

Brainycodes Technologies (brainycodes.com), a Tech company founded by myself and my high school mate was just one amongst many startup Tech company in Lagos Nigeria, but what set us apart was our resilience, and also a model of Trust we introduced between our customers and client. Unlike many other companies that put money first? we offered a listening ear first, and this model helped us gain the trust of many of our clients till date.

Brainycodes is a Software Technology company that offered software development services to organizations from all industry. Starting off this company is one of the things I am proud of, as it helped achieve some of my long term goals and dreams of contributing to wealth creation in my community. We helped young graduates assimilate into a new world where they barely have an experience, and watching these young adults grow and achieve their own dreams brought a lot of Joy to me and I do consider it a major achievement so far!

Asides being an Entrepreneur, making Music is a major part of my life! I share the same passion for business, for Music. For me music is an elixir for Living, and its a part of that joy I spoke about, creating an Elixir through music that can take people from one plane to another! Its priceless! My Artistic/Musical stage name is “King Mo” and I make Alternative/Afro-beats/Hip-Hop music.

I started off making music professionally alongside running my business in 2016, and I have so far released and EP album and several single, with my last EP Album “No Rush” which was released in 2022 and still banging hot! (link to my EP – https://linktr.ee/kingmoni)

Finally, I have learnt to never give up, we have a saying in my native Language in Yoruba, Only a dead Man should rest…

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Dorav Bistro Parlor and Lounge or African Grill Duluth for food
