Do you know if he has an autobiography?

I'm sure his story can inspire people to live up to their true potential.

We need more homegrown stories of successful African business people.

Not always Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett

He may not be a saint, but he is a genuine Business man and Real Estate Developer.

I know that guy's story. We in Benin understand D guy very well. He made his first cash abroad. Invested in big businesses & most of them failed. From his airline, TV/Radio station to is import/export business, everything failed. Then his son became a governor of Edo state and suddenly the father start rebuilding his business empire. Rebranded the TV station, pumped cash into his university & secondary school. He even setup a restaurant & cinema in Benin. His father went further to build churches for pastor and was celebrated. But most people in Benin believe the son (Lucky) used the state's money to boost all these businesses. One clear example is how he moved books donated to the Edo state Library by an international organization to his father's university, University of Igbenedion, Okada. The guy's story does not inspire me because his son looted Benin.

Don't mind those guys dat are not in Benin. Talking what dey don't know.

If he had managed his businesses well, by now he could have been one of the richest men in the world. Okada Air, which was the first private Airline in Nig in the 80's- 90s would have become a global brand, employing thousands of Nigerian youth home and abroad and raking in forex.
Canada dry, only soft drink that gave Pepsi and Coka Cola a run for their money in 70s and 80's would have had several plants all over Africa by now and thousands of Nigerians employed.
He used his money for lavish birthday parties, killed creditor banks like the Biggest state owned of the 70s- 80s, New Nigerian Bank.
He would've been seen as a hero of Edo as he was seen back then till his pride and arrogance earn him the curse of his embittered employees etc.

I agree totally. End of discussion

I get ur point 100%. But the bottom line is... His son helped his business back to life. I would like 2 argue with someone based in Benin & has followed his story from the year 1987 till date. If U rely on all D sweet things D media told U about Esama I'm afraid, U know nothing yet.

Thanks for this unofficial biography

Have you noticed the general assumption that any successful black man MUST be involved in some shady deals?

I think it's an inferiority complex to think that businessmen of other races never do anything wrong, that they are saints who are "real" entrepreneurs.

We need more homegrown success stories. We can LEARN from their stories, both what to do and what to avoid.

Cheers

That's what I'm saying, his son did badly. That actually made Edolites believe he looted the state for his father. That is a general believe in Edo. That speculation might be wrong, I don't know.

HalbondAdmin:
Ok

misano:



Ok. So U know his story. U know what his son did. U know how most of his businesses failed & how his businesses needed financial boost b4 his son became the governor. U know his story. Celebrate him or not the stories can't be changed or rewritten.
