The pure and true religion in the sight of God is to care for the poor, widows and indigent children. This is the whole duty of man, not necessarily a function of deep pocket or riches.
Mike Oludoyi, CEO of Mo Autos, an online auto company that deals in sale of cars, has not only reinvented how the business is done across the globe, but charity is an integral part of its operations.
The Mo Autos CEO, who is from Mopa in Kogi State, grew up in a family of six, in which he is the third child. The US-based entrepreneur watched his parents combine reaching out to the less privileged while growing up, in spite of their busy schedule of juggling business and career.
Mike Oludoyi, who is an American citizen, is licensed to operate Mo Autos from Texas and Maryland in the US. Good things they say come to the kind. His exceptional idea of completely challenging the status quo of having to run physical automobile dealership shops has simplified acquiring cars from the US for Nigerians.
However, the Mo Autos CEO revealed that it was difficult at the outset, due to the scepticism people have doing business with a company that operates solely online. He said but over the years, clients have established absolute trust in the venture, as it was never found wanting in any way.
In a recent question and answer, the Mo Autos CEO stressed that some of the emotional moments for him have been the satisfaction customers wear on their faces when they take delivery of their cars, as well as the joy and fulfillment that comes from the smiles the underprivileged when his company reaches out to them.
“So many touching stories, ranging from the tears of joys when we deliver car gifts purchased by a husbands for their wife’s birthday and vice versa, to the smile of so many Texas children when they get Christmas gifts we support various foundations to procure. And also seeing the smile and joy on the faces of widows and kids in Nigeria as they receive food gifts we sponsored via different foundations we support”, he said.
“I’m a from a business oriented christian family of six, My parents, Myself and 3 siblings. I was born in Mopa, Kogi state, Nigeria. I’m the third child. A key value my parents taught me is diligence and hard work, I grew up watching my mum and dad juggle business, career and a passion for serving the people and philanthropy”.
Mo Autos continues to consolidate its clientele. On how he came about the business idea and the decision to run a purely digital service, the graduate of Salem University in Lokoja, Kogi State recounted:
“I’ve always had a passion for cars from a young age. I remember back in my secondary school days. I’ll sit with friends in the Evening looking at the road from the campus and identifying every car that drives by, Naming the brand and models. It was a little game I enjoyed so much. And I always win in the game, because I know a lot about cars.
“I even grew up with the dream of being an automobile engineer and work in car production fields. Cars has always been natural for me. This passion grew into an ability to spot excellent cars and making proper judgements of its condition, a major skill that has helped me to make sure we always deliver top quality cars to our customers.
“The world is going digital, so we are exploring different possibilities on how to further digitize the car purchase process, to make it even better for our customers,” Mike Oludoyi of Mo Autos said.
