    I have never been this close to this phenomenon of a man. He dropped two inspiring statements in the course of this interview. I could not resist writing them down in my personal journal and also shared them on Facebook. No wonder he is a success!

    Wow! I have heard alot about how wealthy this great man is, but I never heard he once lost $1.2 billion.
    How he managed to survive the emotional trauma and rose again to become one of the wealthiest man in Nigeria and indeed Africa is phenomenal.

    I first saw this video about 7years ago when I just got out of college. It just popped up on my feed again today, 7 years later, and of course, it is still gold! Great time to be inspired again by his journey!

    With all due respect, Sir, you were born into a financially well established and politically connected family. This is what gave you the best leverage, not the fact that you worked hard. If you were born into a peasant family, do you really think you would have been where you are today?

    He doesn't seem to be all that intelligent. I say this cos it appears to be hard for him to give direct answers to simple questions . However, he's very much admirable, handsome and hardworking . So I guess, you don't need to be a genius to be a billionaire.
