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.

Mobile phone technology can help to bring financial services to the 80 percent of African women who do not have a bank account and bolster the growth of the world's poorest continent. It's not just about empowering women, it's about economic growth. Unless we can make access to finance easier for women in their businesses, we will be missing out on a significant portion of growth within our economies

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

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

[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.

Educating our young girls is the foundation for Nigerias growth and development.
