The brothers recently sat down for an interview with City People magazine, where they addressed the issues between themselves and Gbemi. Read excerpts below:
Who are the Olumofin brothers?
We are the children of Barrister Segun Olumofin and Mrs. Taiwo Tolu Olumofin who have now been married for 43 years. I attended Chrisland Primary School, Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary and the University of Lagos where I obtained a B.Sc and M.Sc degree in Psychology. My Ph.D is in view. My mum owned a secondary school, she studied Psychology and that was where I got my passion from. We are businessmen.
What exactly do you do? Some people claim that you are into Oil & Gas, some say real estate.
My brother is into oil and gas and I dabble into it from time to time. After university, I tried to get a job but it didn’t work out for me. I worked in a bank and an oil and gas company for a bit but I wasn’t really feeling what they were paying me after going marketing for so many hours. I decided to put the hours into my own thing instead. That’s why I said I’m a businessman who can do anything as long as it’s legal.
It is true I have ventured into Oil & Gas and I had a stint with some associates in real estate. I have also gotten robust contracts at the state and federal levels and I am still very active in this.
However my passion is Psychology which is very broad spanning into counselling, issues relating to people, places, events, the establishment, the young, the old and the elderly. The scope is limitless. I have been busy creating ideas and concepts that people both young and old can relate to. The response has been phenomenal. The best is yet to come.
Addressing their recent outburst on social media, they had this to say:
What is your take on the recent controversy concerning you?
I will not deny the fact that there was a recent controversy about my brother Dokun and I. Although we have decided to put a closure to this unfortunate unprovoked assault on our persons – it is not too late to state the fact that Tunde – the groom was school mate/class mate to two of my brothers Dokun and Deji (now in the USA, married with a son). My brother – Deji’s wife also attended the same school in Ikeja – The Supreme Education Foundation (SEF). They were all friends and buddies. In fact, Tunde is a godfather to my brother Deji’s 3-year-old son. Tunde, Dokun, Deji and Deji’s wife all attended the same school named above. His younger brother, Michael and I are friends also. Tunde formally invited us via email and invitation card to his wedding and offered us the expensive aso-ebi which we bought. My brother Dokun and I received the greatest shock of our lives when we were branded in an innuendo as “wedding gate crashers” and referred to as “awon social climbers osi”. Of course, we responded adequately. The response we got was that few of our chosen words were considered too harsh and offensive. We, subsequently offered our apologies. I’ve moved past the controversy, I have so many friends who know Gbemi personally too. I wasn’t going to reply to the tweet but I was told I had to say something because it has gone quite far. I’m usually not a troublesome guy, I’m shy and very quiet.
We will appreciate a final closure to this incident. We again seize this opportunity to thank numerous people who sympathized via emails, telephone calls and personal visits to us and to our parents. Thank you for all your support and pledge of allegiance for the future. God bless. Everything is settled now.
