286            <h1>The Humble Background</h1>
287            <p>
288                Although born in a time when there was
289                little to no financial aid for the less privileged,
290                and parents believed a lot lesser in education,
291                he still successfully made it through high school,
292                and later got a degree in Business Administration from the university.
293                After his graduation, he joined the work force at CFAO motors;
294                - a French distribution company. This same company
295                had paid the tuition for his last two years in the university
296            </p>
297            <p>
298                In 1966, while still working as a salesman for CFAO motors,
299                he successfully sold 20 trucks to the Electricity Corporation of
300                Nigeria, but to his dismay, his manager took credit for the sale,
301                which led to a protest by Michael, followed with him losing his
302                job by the end of the year. After his ousting at CFAO motors,
303                he moved on, and got a job at British Petroleum (BP).
304                Within three months of his employment, he increased the sales of
305                his local division by 25%. But just as he was unfortunate with
306                his previous employment, his new boss took credit for the
307                outstanding growth, and this left him aggrieved and lost in
308                thoughts.

311            <h1>Chief Michael Ade.Ojo's Big Break</h1>
312            <p>
313                While in Lagos, Nigeria, during his annual British Petroleum (BP) holiday,
314                he decided to take a daring step to approach the RT Brisco Group;
315                an importer and distributor of trucking and automobile equipments.
316                He made them an offer to sell their equipments for a commission on
317                every successful sale. After careful consideration,
318                the RT Brisco Group decided to give him a trial.
319                In just four months after he sealed the deal with Brisco,
320                he sold about 40 cars. The commissions earned from the total sales,
321                were overwhelmingly higher than his yearly salary at BP.
322                This motivated him to quit his job, and pursue his dreams.
323            </p>
324            <p>
325                In 1971, he started the company, Elizade Independent Agencies (EIA),
326                with his wife, Elizabeth Wuraola Ojo. The name Elizade,
327                was derived from both his wife’s name, Elizabeth, and his name, Ade.
328                His company focused on the distribution of automobiles in Nigeria,
329                especially Japanese cars.Success Story Of Michael Ade-Ojo.
330                He acquired the license to import Toyota Cars, with the name,
331                Toyota Nigeria Limited, and single handedly, made the car brand,
332                the most sought-after automobile brand in Nigeria.
333                He later went on to acquire 100% of RT Briscoe in Nigeria,
334                and subsequently acquired more shares,
335                to make his total holdings in Toyota Nigeria Limited, sum up to 74%.
336            </p>
337            <p>
