Firstly, Taiwo Adeyemi, fondly known as ‘Oga Boxx’, is a seasoned talent manager, creative businessman, and a quiet influence driving the brands and image of African stars from behind the scenes.
A specific area is packed with people and cameras, all focused on a tall, bearded man at the centre of attention—a Nigerian Chessmaster.
Beside him stands a more regular-looking person, unfazed by the pressurized environment, but it’s hard to miss his importance to the man of the moment.
It’s Taiwo—a quiet influence driving the brands and image of many famous names from behind the scenes.
My introduction to Taiwo came when his client attempted a world record for the longest chess marathon in Times Square, drawing global attention.
At first, I thought it might be his first rodeo, but I quickly realized that people like him don’t just appear out of nowhere.
I later read an AlJazeera article where Taiwo shared his work with Tunde Onakoya, the young man who has turned social causes into mainstream phenomena.
It became evident that Taiwo’s role in helping others realize their dreams wasn’t random—it is his purpose.
When I ask Taiwo about his own ambitions, he replies lightly but with conviction: “I’m a very ambitious person. But most of my dreams are tied to helping others achieve theirs.
Some of us are living a life of service.” His cadence, a mix of Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba, hints at his Southwestern roots and makes his words resonate even more deeply.
Building on a solid foundation in advertising, Taiwo Adeyemi has established a remarkable reputation for connecting top brands and talents, creating iconic partnerships, and amplifying their missions to reach global audiences.
His portfolio includes work with leading brands in telecommunication, FMCG, aviation, real estate, governmental and non-governmental organizations.
