Nigeria is one of the best-kept secrets.

Passion is what drives me forward. Passion is what makes me go to bed at 2am and wake up at 6am.

When you have made it in life, you must give back to those who made you.

Africa's risks are mainly perceived and not real. Unfortunately for us in Africa we are not really very good at telling our own story. But things are changing and people are beginning to understand that things are going very, very well.

I enjoy myself a lot but I derive more joy in working. I believe in hard work and one of my business success secrets is hard work. It's hard to see a youth that will go to bed by 2am and wake up by 5am. I don't rest until I achieve something.

Don't kill the competition. Competition is healthy for businesses. It keeps you the entrepreneur on your toes.

After my death, I want to be remembered as Africa's greatest industrialist.
