Chief Willie & Nkiru Anumudu. |
One of the most loved Nigerian businessman behind the Globe
Motors fame, reputed to be the largest dealer of Mercedes Benz in Nigeria and
also a leading dealer in Toyota brand of cars and some other brands, in fact
one of the top 5 biggest in the sector of the economy he operates in, which is
the automobile industry has passed on!
The
quite sad and clearly very unfortunate incident occurred today, Tuesday, April
21, 2020 at 5:30am. The cause of death is not known yet.
The
gentleman husband of the quite flamboyant fashionista extraordinaire, who is
also tagged by many as the ‘ultimate drama queen of fashion’ in Nigeria- Nkiru
Anumudu, was better referred to by most as Uncle Willy, because of how
accommodating and down to earth he is to all.
Unlike
his wife and family that he loves to bit, he prefers to always remain in the
background, incognito, doing his thing rather quietly.
He
is from Imo state, in fact from Mbaitoli LGA of the state. He was born November
29, 1951, meaning that he would have turned 69 year old in November of 2020 had
death permitted. He went to Catholic University, Reading, in the UK for his
degree.
He
founded his well known brand, Globe Motors in March of 1984 and the brand as
since grown in leaps and bounds. Apart from the automobile industry where he is
a known colossus, he is also said to have very good investments in other
sectors of the economy here and there also.
Apart
from the fact that his wife is probably the most outstanding fashionista of her
time in the history of Nigeria, an undoubted & unparalleled trailblazer,
who is on first name basis with some of the most iconic international fashion
brands, one of which is Dolce & Gabbana.
His
gorgeous only daughter by name Ozinna, is also a well respected voice in the
fashion and lifestyle industry in Nigeria too, just like her mom.
Ozinna
or preferably Zina like she’s called by most, is the founder of The Style
Concierge, a well known lifestyle brand. She’s also an influencer of note.
The
gentleman businessman, who in 2018 (just 2 years ago) opened a $150million
dollars car assembly plant & is said to be quite astute in his dealings,
will be sorely missed by all and sundry.
We
can bet that the family-Nkiru, Uzoma, Enyinna, Ozinna & Ozichukwu, plus the
extended family members, friends, associates and more would be quite devasted
right now.
We
commiserate with them, most especially the wife- Nkiru who is a great woman,
one especially that can be quite humble, even with her position in the society.
May
the soul of the dearly departed find rest. And may the Almighty grant the
immediate and extended family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
