The Ogbudu-Efe of Emede Kingdom — Entrepreneur, Community Leader & Founder of Quick and Quick UK Limited.
The Ogbudu-Efe of Emede Kingdom • Founder & CEO, Quick and Quick UK Ltd
Chief Dafe Olusegun Akako is a serial entrepreneur, cultural ambassador, and community leader whose work spans the United Kingdom and Nigeria. He was recently honoured with the prestigious traditional title of Ogbudu-Efe of Emede Kingdom in Delta State — a recognition of his outstanding contribution to his people, his culture, and the African diaspora community in Britain.
As a businessman, Chief Dafe has built a portfolio of ventures that share one consistent philosophy: find the problems that real people face every day, and build accessible, practical solutions around them. His businesses — Quick and Quick UK Limited, Qui and Qui Nigeria Limited, Mc Sober Entertainments UK Ltd, and M3 Travels and Tours — each occupy a different commercial space, yet together they tell a unified story of community-centred entrepreneurship.
Chief Dafe's automotive service was born from a clear observation: many African immigrants in the UK work demanding hours and have little time to navigate the car-buying process. He built a solution that removes every friction point — sourcing the vehicle, arranging inspection and any necessary repairs, and delivering it directly to the customer anywhere in the United Kingdom. The value he offers is not simply a car. It is time saved, stress removed, and a transaction handled by someone who genuinely understands the diaspora experience.
Through Quick and Quick UK Limited and M3 Travels and Tours, Chief Dafe provides visa assistance and travel planning services that help the African community navigate some of life's most complex logistical challenges. From UK visa applications to international travel arrangements, his hands-on, personal approach means clients deal directly with someone who understands both the British system and the realities of diaspora life.
Commerce alone does not define Chief Dafe's contribution. Through Mc Sober Entertainments UK Ltd, he runs the monthly Jaiye House comedy club in Middlesbrough — a cultural platform where members of the African community come together to celebrate, connect, and enjoy entertainment rooted in shared experience. As ThisDay Live observed, his entertainment work creates social spaces that are just as important to diaspora life as his commercial services.
The conferment of the Ogbudu-Efe title of Emede Kingdom is not merely ceremonial — it is a reflection of the deep respect Chief Dafe has earned on both sides of the Atlantic. It acknowledges a man who has given back to his roots while building a meaningful life and business legacy in Britain. He carries the title with the same energy and commitment he brings to every venture: with purpose, with pride, and with his people firmly at the centre.
I identify everyday problems in the diaspora community and build practical businesses around them.
