One stop on the tour was Italian company VRL Gianfranco Lattanzi, where the young boys observed sewing and manufacturing processes and met workers on the ground.
The Lesson Seyi Vodi Wants His Sons to Remember
Alongside the video, Vodi shared a caption that made clear the trip was about more than sightseeing.
Writing directly about his intentions for his children, he said they may grow up to become doctors, actors, or tech founders, but what he could give them today was something more immediate.
"The knowledge of fabric. The knowledge of trade. Buy for ₦1. Sell for ₦2. Add value in between. That lesson won't be wasted, even if they never touch a sewing machine. Because wealth begins with learning how to multiply what you have," he wrote.
Seyi Vodi, born Oluwaseyi Adekunle, is the founder of the Vodi Group, a fashion and lifestyle conglomerate based in Abuja that includes tailoring, a training institute, cleaning services, women’s wear, and footwear.
