Good People, this morning, I accepted an invitation from a young and small bank to be its Chairman. I share to inspire and challenge everyone here: tomorrow has a promise. Formal announcement coming after the regulatory filing. We can all grow up if we pursue excellence in anything we do.
This reminds me of a great experience during the 2019 Christmas season. I had gone home with family and the Internet in a new part of the village we expanded to was poor. I put a call to MTN and within hours, they sent people from the state capital to help. And the next day, a senior manager visited to check that I was fine!
How could that have been? I remain thankful to MTN for that service. And I have also told the mobile giant that we have FREE land for them to add more capacity in Ovim, Abia state. We need more capacity; he is asking for more.

It’s one of the benefits of accumulated capabilities, the returns on investment are for a lifetime.
There are things one must pursue, and there are things you are meant to attract, having pursued the right things earlier.
You do not pursue money or big connections, it’s a misguided notion on how to be successful and accomplished. Rather you pursue wisdom, knowledge and all the necessary virtues that make up a great human. Once you have excelled in those things, you then begin to attract the beautiful things life offers.
Many people live life upside down, in return, it swings them from miseries to disappointments.
Seek first the things that matter, and at the appointed time – all other good things will come to you.
Reward comes after you have invested, you cannot be rewarded first; laws of nature won’t change because of you.
You sow, you reap, anything to the contrary makes you a thief.
Yes, many search for the big shots only to be given an audience and have nothing to offer!
Well deserved congratulations
