THE daily life of a celebrity is under constant scrutiny from the public who demand to know where they are and what they are doing at any given time. One man who has become adept at hiding himself from the searchlights of fans and paparazzi is Kola Karim. The CEO of Shoreline Energy International has transformed flying under the radar into an art form.
Though blessed with the best things money can buy, it is the things that money cannot buy that mostly occupy his thoughts. Even as he revels in his fleet of luxury cars, he does not flaunt them. Rather, he is eager to lend a hand to the willing and the humble.
While many of his peers are ever ready to speak their accomplishments into nearby megaphones, Kola prefers not to make a public song of his accomplishments. While they focus on the geometric expansion of their bank balances, Kola is most concerned with raising a new generation of leaders equipped with the tools for success in the business world.
Like a guardian angel deftly guiding and correcting wobbly steps, Kola revels in his quiet role as a shaper and moulder of legacies, a master polisher in whose hands rough diamonds become glittering jewels. He empowers men from his unending supply of intellectual and financial capital and watches with glee as they soar on their own.
