jam04: I knew it!!!! When Tony was 'forced' out of UBA by the CBN regulation back the, I said to a colleague that he will be breaking new ground because he is resourceful and a massive risk taker. I've had the opportunity to meet him twice and I learned a lot from him. No wonder china biggest bank partnered with UBA when they wanted to enter Nigeria market( for easy financing of big chinese companies operating here)

OGA tony I still remember those words you said to me: continue to work smart and efficiently till you don't have to introduce yourself to anyone....TIMELESS!!!!
How exactly is he breaking new ground? By participating in photo-ops with celebrities who invariably have had more influence in the world than he can dream of? He was just another greedy resourceful banker, and a mighty big airhead only interested in the bottom line and not building a worldclass company such as GTB..next abeg

I seriously need a business mentor, how I wish I can have one like Uncle Tony; not as in his status and level but his person as an entrepreneur.

Nigerian Youths wake up, We have no other
country except Nigeria, We have been suffering
in silence while our Leaders put our future in
their bank accounts. How can we remain like
this? How can a youth go to school and suffered
to graduate at the end no job. You are almost 40
and still your future is as bleak as a dark room.
Did your parents send you to school to sit at
home because our Government have failed us.
Let us come out one day and say No. We must
not remain like this, we cannot all travel abroad to
find a better life, our better life is here in our
country. We have the money, oil and resources
but only a selected few have continue to suck it
dry why we keep believing God for a change,
wake up now I challenge you. We need 500,000
youths in each of the 36states to challenge the
Government. We say NO, we need rebuild this
nation, we will vacate those who stand on our
way as they are considered the enemy. A man
cannot have billions of naira while millions of
youths roam the streets every day looking for
daily bread. Our young men must not all be
kidnappers, our young girls must not all be
prostitutes. Get Ready I tell you. The time has
come for us to react, the only way our
Government listens is violence, they have shown
it to the Niger delta militants and now they are
planning to show it to the boko haram..whereas a
simple gesture of N20,000 per month to the
unemployed was rejected and you pay militants
N75,000 per month. How much do they pay as
minimum wage? How much do they pay to
elected officers, we are going to revolt. Nigeria
will burn to be rebuilt again like Libya, Iraq,
Egypt and Tunisia...please spread this message
unless you want to die in poverty in a country
where God has destined all of us to be happy and
prosperous...!!!pls join the group on facebook
tagged "nigerian youths movement for
revolution" Pls send this msg to all ur forum,
groups on facebook, 2go, whatsapp, twitter, and
social messengers, cos anytin can happen o!!!
The time is right for us all to say no bad
governance who take the youths for grante

Looks like bono isnt that much interested in music anymore, he has been hobnobbing a lot with business moguls for quite some time now.

The other day he earned multi-million dollars from facebook's floating.

Nigerians are Gifted.
Nigerians are Blessed.
Nigerians are going places.

A Nigerian 15 year old girl made beats for Jay-z's coming album.

Dangote with Bill gates,

Elumelu ma guy with movers and shakers.

If I break new grounds, it won't be strange cos its In Nigerians.
We are gifted people. That's whom we are.
Its no accident that we are the Most populous Black Nation on Planet earth.

I'm black, I'm proud, I'm Nigerian.

If building a world class corporation in africa isn't breaking new grounds, then I'm compelled to ask u what it is? Do you know the worth of Heirs holdings? Or you think it is a joke to meet the US president in another country different from yours if your portfolio isn't tight?

I usually don't reply comments like yours but I'm compelled to but I advise you to think out of the box and see yourself on top

chei: I heard he graduated with a 3rd class?
You are right.
Hope you also heard he employs 1st class graduates to work for him? Lol
It's strange how 21st Century folks still thinks success is solely a function of academic performance.
What Tony is doing now is positioning himself for the next Power sector boom.

Whatever your apathy to someone else success because you can't explain somethings, whatever your feelings for the successes of Nigerian elites and its business owners, you can't but like this businessman. TOE, as we fondly call him in UBA, is one of the success story of a life committed to hardwork and that all is possible in life. He has the aura of success all around him; he is smart, intelligent, a great manager of people and resources, and most of all, a ball of fire. He is a dreamer, a big dreamer. He dreamt of breaking new grounds as he said in his last memo to all staff in August 2010 as the out going MD/CEO of UBA, and he has started breaking the grounds three years after. All I can do is to felicitate with him and his family for the achievements so far, and to most of all wish him well in all his future endeavours.

I still hope to have one more physical encounter with this man, I hope.
