One became a $500 million business today, chronicling one of the fastest accumulation of wealth in Nigerian history. More than six are hovering around $100 million to $250 million valuations. The best days of Nigeria are well ahead. And the best way to respond to siddon-look do-nothing politicians and policymakers is to #build.
Forget the noise, and find the inner energy to advance. I have noticed one thing: the gravitational force in Nigeria is not even strong to keep you down, if you are determined to fly to the mountaintop.
This is a cambrian moment and this is the age of Nigeria’s entrepreneurial capitalism. Many will wait for the government until things are perfect but the FEW will sojourn, well ahead into the castle. I look into the horizon, I can see why the Igbo proverb says “uwa bu ahia”. Yes, the world is a market – and all challenges in Nigeria are business opportunities.
