Chief BA’AROYIN BIODATA
Chief Rahman Niyi Ismail’s down to earth personality is what has been paving ways for him, shaping his life in the right path.
Rahman, is a proud Lagosian born and bred in Epe area of Lagos State over forty years ago.
Being from original Ijebu(s) faction of Epe indigenes, it’s behove to have a link to one of the Seaside villages under Epe federal constituency. In light of this, Rahman’s lineage could be traced to Shirinwon/Igbękodo town in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State.
His late grandfather, Chief Rahman Sanni was the BALOGUN of Shirinwon/Igbękodo towns. After his demise, his loving son, Rahman Akanbi Mutiu, Ba’aroyin's father was as well appointed to step on his late father’s stool as BALOGUN of the above mentioned towns and as well as BALOGUN Adinni of the two town’s Central Mosque.
Going by the lineage of Chief Rahman, Chieftaincy title is their call, and when duty calls, you honour.

At the Top Celebrities magazine, his resilient and hardworking spirit led to his promotion as a Senior staff writer before he resigned and became an editor with Newsthumb magazine where he spearheaded the overall activities of the total production process.
