Thank you for welcoming me to Nigeria. I’ve been coming here regularly since 2006, and I’ve always felt welcome. Nigerians usually greet me warmly. The first time I met the Sultan of Sokoto, I was honored that he greeted me with the gift of a white horse. At some point during every visit, though, some brave person eventually asks me—very politely—“Why are you actually here?” It’s an understandable question. Mo...

The Lion and the Ranger (Part 2) __Are you following tracks or creating new ones? Source: Strive Masiyiwa When I was in the US recently, I decided to drop in and visit one of our key partners, a company called Roku. This company supplies the specialized decoder for Kwesé Play that allows us to digitally "stream" all our Kwesé TV channels, plus services like Netflix and 100 others so far. It can only be used with a fibre optic cable in the house and is better than a satellite decoder. Roku is one of the revolutionary companies coming out of Silicon Valley. (Roku itself came out of Netflix).  Small by U.S. standards, Roku dominates the likes of Apple in this market segment. It has over 38m users in the U.S. alone. (It recently listed in the US and is now worth over $2bn!) One of the challenges when you approach new companies that have new products is that they'll often tell you they aren't ready for global expansion. (And when they do begin to expand, Afr...

Written By: Tope Ogunyamoju Nigeria today is "strong" and "free" based on the sacrifices made by the heroes before us. it is the responsibility of Government and the people to make major investments to create jobs, grow the economy & build a bright future for the people. In the words of Ben-Gurion 'Seminar' -  ''we have to undertake difficult work to uproot from the hearts of men who are close to the matter the belief that they have something. In fact they have nothing. They have goodwill, they have hidden capabilities, but they have to know: to make a shoe one has to study cobbling'' Investment in high-growth entrepreneurship that uses specialized talents from engineers, scientists, business managers and marketers to foster start ups that wound up transforming entire global industries.
