<strong>The</strong> <strong>BusinessDay</strong> <strong>CEO</strong>, <strong>May</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | 31<br />
I found his fusion of old tradition and contemporary sense of<br />
innovation very fascinating. A lot of beautiful things are going<br />
on.<br />
About four sentences into answering the first question he<br />
threw at me, he paused and said “I like you, you are such a<br />
futuristic guy”, I smiled and told him Thank You ‘Kabiyesi’<br />
(meaning Your Majesty). He allowed me continue and the<br />
ways he landed my sentences, nodded and shook his feet in<br />
acknowledgment made me know some people actually get<br />
my ‘seemingly weird thoughts’.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are some things you’ll find out about him:<br />
1. He is very hard-working.<br />
2. He spots mediocrity within seconds.<br />
3. He has an outstanding global & authentic approach to<br />
thoughts.<br />
4. He respects order.<br />
5. He listens and takes words seriously!<br />
After some hours, the conversation finished around 12am and<br />
I was happy about the future of Nigeria.<br />
You know, keep the thoughts going. I was<br />
really encouraged that evening that there<br />
are some people in strategic positions who<br />
want to listen to us and fast track things!<br />
AFRICAN MILLENNIALS, LET’S KEEP OUR<br />
THOUGHTS GOING!<br />
