On relaxing<\/strong><\/p>\nI like to listen to music, jazz, RnB and Nigerian Old Juju music and I do my best to spend quality time with my family. Adding a glass of virgin colada makes it perfect!<\/p>\n
On best advise received<\/strong><\/p>\nAlways strive to be better.\u00a0This word of advice I heard while growing up has remained with me till date. It has also\u00a0contributed to who I am today as I am my biggest fan and critic. I always want to be better consistently, seeking new and innovative ways to improve on past achievements.\u00a0So, I don\u2019t rest on my oars as there is always room for improvement. I also challenge everyone around me to always aspire for better and bigger things.<\/p>\n
On Career Alternatives\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI really believe I would have been involved in consulting or motivational speaking\/mentoring the younger generation\u00a0if I wasn\u2019t doing what I am today. However, I am glad to be in an organisation like United Capital and on a career path where I am making a visible difference and impacting lives.<\/p>\n
On self-acceptance<\/strong><\/p>\nThere is nothing about myself that I\u2019m keen on changing.\u00a0Although I have often gotten feedback (from friends and some colleagues) that I appear\u00a0too serious sometimes (laughs) and a workaholic, so maybe I need to learn how to relax more and take things easy.<\/p>\n
On changing the world<\/strong><\/p>\nIf I had the power, I would tackle inequality in society. Inequality between the haves and have nots; between the rich and the poor, because I believe that everyone deserves the same opportunity and privileges where equity, justice and fairness are always sacrosanct and prevail. This will usher in era of global peace and love and will surely make this world a better place devoid of hunger and strife. In summary, equality will make the world a better place for all of us.<\/p>\n
On choosing between the beach and the woods<\/strong><\/p>\nDefinitely the Beach because it is more apt for fun and relaxation, and also because there are many other side attractions around beaches. I will only choose to be in the woods to meditate and reflect which I also do from time to time (mostly at year end when I take time off to be in a very quiet place to reflect). I\u2019ve visited a number of nice resorts and beaches, but my best experience so far was at the Virginia Beach where I went to the ocean breeze water park, did some boat cruising and also went fishing. I also love the Labadi Beach in Accra with the jollof rice (I think Ghana jollof rice is better) and tilapia fish side attraction (laughs). There is also the Atlantis Palm beach resort in Dubai where you can also visit the water park.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nOn having a mentor<\/strong><\/p>\nFirst, I think everyone should have a mentor to motivate and guide them. I look up a great deal to our Group Chairman Mr. Tony Elumelu and I\u2019ve learnt the tenets of hard work, believing in one\u2019s self, doggedness and dedication from him. I also look up to Mr. Atedo Peterside who has done some incredible things in the investment banking space in Nigeria and Africa at large. These two outstanding personalities are no doubt sources of inspiration to a lot of upcoming leaders and finance professionals on the African continent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On having an alter ego<\/strong><\/p>\nI can be very humourous and I laugh a lot. I also used to be a very good dancer, but I guess I\u2019ve lost touch as I got busier.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On hobbies<\/strong><\/p>\nI like to travel to new places, I play Tennis, watch football (avid Arsenal supporter and a card-carrying member of the club) and I\u2019m learning to play golf now. I equally enjoy political discuss and reading.<\/p>\n
