Wahab Olayinka, popularly known as “Dru’s vision for success goes beyond profit. To him, business is not only about creating wealth but also about empowering people and strengthening communities.
Armed with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Georgia State University and corporate experience in America, Wahab relocated to Canada in 2011.
Over the past decade, he has made his mark in real estate, stock trading, the automobile industry, and hospitality, establishing himself as a versatile entrepreneur with an eye for opportunity.
What truly sets him apart, however, is his commitment to using these ventures as platforms to give back in sustainable ways.
In 2025, Wahab joined forces with Chef Tolu Okojie, Founder of Greelz Inc., as Co-Founder of Greelz on Bloor, a Toronto-based food business redefining Nigerian street food for a global audience. Greelz on Bloor has quickly become a cultural hotspot, introducing Canadians to authentic African flavors with dishes like suya wraps, Agege suya burgers, and jollof rice bowls.
For Wahab, Greelz on Bloor isn’t just about food, it’s about representation, cultural exchange, and community empowerment. By investing in this venture, he is helping create opportunities for African cuisine to thrive in mainstream spaces, while also opening doors for local talent in the culinary and hospitality industries.
Beyond food, Wahab has consistently made his mark in real estate and hospitality. Through his company, Druzero Properties Inc., he is contributing to Canada’s property landscape, helping to provide spaces that serve families, businesses, and communities. His hospitality ventures equally reflect his belief in creating environments where people can connect, grow, and feel supported.
While charitable giving remains important to Wahab evident in his support for underserved communities back home in Nigeria, his Canadian initiatives highlight a different kind of impact: sustainability.
Instead of one-off donations, he is investing in platforms that continue to generate opportunities, jobs, and cultural pride for years to come. His work reflects a model of empowerment where communities thrive not just from receiving aid, but from access to tools, spaces, and opportunities that help them flourish.
Wahab Olayinka’s journey reminds us that real community impact comes from combining vision, investment, and compassion. Whether through real estate, hospitality, or food entrepreneurship, his work is leaving a mark that transcends business and strengthens the social fabric of Canada’s diverse community.
For him, giving back is not a one-time act, it’s a lifestyle of building bridges, creating opportunities, and empowering others to rise.
