Comment: Absolutely nothing makes this subject (WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO) notable. Sources are bizarrely dubious. This is mostly dubious in it’s entirety. Declining would be a waste of time. If you, the author of this article, is not Olusa themselves then I suspect you don’t only have a conflict of interest but was also paid to make this up.
