The best way to help Africans today is to help them to stand on their own feet. And the best way to do that is by helping create jobs.

I believe that when you find problems, you should also find solutions.

When it comes to doing my job, I keep my ego in my handbag.

Investing in women is smart economics, and investing in girls, catching them upstream, is even smarter economics.

Life really went backwards. My parents lost everything, all their savings, because we had to run from the Nigerian side to the Biafran side. We were Igbos.

I can take hardship. I can sleep on the cold floor anytime. I can also sleep on a feather bed.

I'm standing here saying that those who miss the boat now, will miss it forever. So if you want to be in Africa, think about investing.
