It’s a milestone worth celebrating as Arike Alajo marks its 5th anniversary — five years of unwavering integrity, consistent growth, and strong customer relationships in the finance and thrift industry.
Founded by the visionary entrepreneur Arike Alajo, the company began as a humble thrift collection venture and has today evolved into a multifaceted enterprise spanning investment services, project financing, real estate, the food industry, and a thriving chain of ‘Worobo’ shops.
Reflecting on the journey, the CEO expressed deep gratitude:
> “When I look back, I am always flabbergasted but thankful for the strides we’ve made. From a small-time thrift collector to a brand with customers across the world — all glory belongs to God.”
According to her, the hallmark of Arike Alajo’s success is built on faith, integrity, and the legacy of her grandfather, Abu the Thrift Collector, a household name in Cameroon for over four decades.
> “I believe my grandfather is not just resting in peace but smiling and praying for Arike Alajo to succeed,” she said with emotion.
The CEO also revealed that the inspiration to start the business came through a dream — a divine nudge that turned into a purpose-driven mission to promote financial discipline through ajo (traditional thrift saving).
Over the years, Arike Alajo has become a household name trusted by hundreds of customers for its timely payouts, transparency, and steady Return on Investment (ROI) for investors.
> “In all these five years, we have never had any scandal. We’ve always ensured that collections are paid when due, and our investors receive their ROI as promised,” she proudly affirmed.
She also extended heartfelt appreciation to loyal customers, friends, and associates who have stood by the brand from inception — including Obanla Elizabeth, Obanla Adebuhari Elizabeth, Folasade Ashabi, Gbolahan Ogundimu Odusanya, Ashabi Ibadan, and Aremo Theophilus Akinlolu Agunbiade — for their unwavering online and offline support.
Special recognition was also given to Hannah Oluwakemi, whose generosity provided the brand’s first physical office in the heart of Agege, rent-free for two years — a gesture that helped shape the company’s early success.
As the company celebrates this significant milestone, Arike Alajo remains committed to its founding principle — INTEGRITY. The CEO urged aspiring entrepreneurs to learn from this value:
> “For upcoming business people, ensure that you have integrity in abundance and be firm enough to separate business from emotions.”
To existing customers, she expressed heartfelt gratitude:
> “Thank you for trusting us with your hard-earned money. You are the real reason behind our success.”
And to prospective customers, she offered an open invitation:
> “Join the Arike Alajo family today — save with confidence, invest with assurance, and enjoy steady returns. With us, your money works as hard as you do.”
As Arike Alajo looks ahead, one thing remains constant — a firm belief that honesty, consistency, and customer trust will continue to drive its next phase of success.
