    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.

    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.
