Strong possible COI for a promotional non notable Nigerian “business man” & Entrepreneur” who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them thus do not meet our notability threshold. A before search links me to press releases and unreliable sources that have the staff reporter as “guest editor” indicating an invited guest which appears to be promotional. The sources used in the article mirrors a before search which show a plethora of unreliable source and unreliable pieces. Celestina007 (talk) 00:57, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Keep! I feel he passes GNG. Though articles are from reliable sources but seems more of promotion/interview. See Dailytrust, Vanguard, This Day and Leadership. Moshswacide (talk) 14:02, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

• Comment — Noting that the editor above is the article creator. The Daily trust source is an interview thus not independent of the subject and can’t count towards notability. The Vanguard source has an empty byline and the piece itself is overtly promotional thus indicative of a sponsored material or an op-Ed, either of which would not count towards notability as are unreliable. The This day source expressly states it was written by a guest editor, thus an unreliable piece. The fourth and last source you linked above, The leadership ng source is literally a press release.
