From Oyo to Lekki: Kolade Nodii’s leap from betting fame to real estate boss

Known for his sharp betting instincts and massive online following, Kolade Nodii has taken his winning streak beyond the virtual world—into bricks and mortar.

The Oyo-born entrepreneur, whose real name is Adesina Kolawole, is now the co-founder and CEO of Orange Group, a real estate firm headquartered in Lekki, Lagos. While many associate him with betting codes and viral ticket slips, Nodii is fast becoming a force in the property space, quietly building a portfolio of investments and helping clients secure luxury properties in Lagos’s upscale districts.

Industry sources say his real estate outfit is focused on high-yield residential and commercial developments, attracting attention from both upwardly mobile Nigerians and diaspora investors.

Though he remains tight-lipped about the full extent of his holdings, Kolade Nodii’s story reflects a growing trend: Nigerian influencers parlaying their social capital into formal business ventures.
