BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Jonathan Adewumi was the popular co-owner of the Amarachi restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn, but for many Nigerians he was much more than a restaurateur.
The 57-year old was the person many called when they needed to make a business and personal connection.
For many, Adewumi was also a trailbrazer.
After the clothing business folded, he opened Amarachi with his siblings, which became a popular meeting place for Africans.
He also ran the Nigerian Film Festival and a travel business to introduce African Americans to Africa and vice versa.
