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.

[Africa] is a continent of many countries, not one country. If we are down to three or four conflicts, it means that there are plenty of opportunities to invest in stable, growing, exciting economies where there's plenty of opportunity.

Im told Im like my father, and he was the most wonderful man. But I think he was gentler than me.

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.

Africans… their tired. They’re tired of being the subject of everybody’s charity and care. We are grateful, but we know that we can take charge of our own destinies if we have the will to reform.

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.
