In a truly shocking but grand gesture, Kola Karim, Chairman of Shoreline Energy International and Agba Oye of Ibadanland, presented the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa 1, with a magnificent, brand new Rolls Royce Phantom.
The lavish gift, delivered on Friday, 26 September, 2025, arrived just ahead of the monarch’s highly anticipated official coronation, setting a tone of unparalleled celebration.
It was presented on behalf of the business magnate by his cousin, Engr. Abduljelyl Adekunle Karheem, Afia Group Chairman and Mogaji of Adanla family.
Sources close to TrendscopeNews reveal that the opulent vehicle was discreetly delivered to Oba Ladoja’s Bodija residence at precisely 7:00 AM this morning.
This significant act underscores Karim’s profound respect and close relationship with the monarch, often described as that of a devoted son to a father.
This isn’t the first time Karim has demonstrated such extraordinary generosity. He famously extended a similar, grand gesture to his close friend, the esteemed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, some years ago, showcasing a consistent pattern of high-profile philanthropy.
For those unfamiliar with his impressive profile, Kola Karim is widely recognized as a highly successful and illustrious son of Ibadanland.
Beyond his formidable business acumen, he is celebrated as a notable philanthropist, consistently contributing to the welfare and prestige of his community and its leaders.
This latest act further solidifies his reputation as a key figure in Nigerian society.
