From Peter today:
Austin Avuru's books are a Safe Pair of Hands and My Entrepreneurship Journey. Read them and see how an African from a humble background who doesn't see the world through a victimhood lens builds up the biggest oil exploration and production company in Nigeria, from virtually nothing. That company is now not only listed on the London Stock Exchange but has now acquired ExxonMobil in Nigeria. Free yourselves from mental slavery (apologies to Bob Marley) and stop seeing the world through this victimhood lens. If Austin Avuru can, if Adewale Tinubu  can, if Ahonsi Unuigbe  can, if Etu Energias  in Angola can, if NJ Ayuk JD, MBA. can why are the rest of you moaning and whinging about imaginary obstacles? The purchaser of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company on privatization was an indigenous Zambian company. Learn and get to work Africa. Start doing and stop moaning. The fault is not in the stars (or neocolonialism) as Shakespeare said... Look at Singapore. Read From Third World to First and realize the opportunities open to anyone who has the discipline and graft to go where eagles dare
