Wonderful

You want Africa to rise and shine but you no fit patronize any of the numerous publishing houses wey full here. You had to cross the Atlantic to publish your book.. Africa rise and shine kee you there

Very industrialist in his speech, well cultured unlike the boss of micro finance.

It should be launched in an African country. isn't it about us?

Any Happy Birthday to me.

What a huge joke

So why can it be lanuch here on African continent

As in eh

Oga just sell your book.
Africa's narrative can never be changed.

Rubbish.

Your wakanda fairy tale crap book was launched not in your shith0le but in the White's man land.

Why do these people like disgracing themselves

Nice

Good. Why not launch in Nigeria?

To Nigerians

Sell your book there, since you've decided to lunch it in New York

Charity begins at home

He wrote a book on Africa yet he had to launch it in New York?

The man is thick.
Saw him at the airport once, quite smallish and unassuming.

Igbo. Man again

Launched Africa arise and shine in NY

Ovia is trying his best to put himself on the map. He is tired of playing little and now see the wisdom in Tony Elumelu's branding acumen.

The book is about himself and self glorification using continental motivation as the moet for self aggrandizement under the coloration of Africa's revolution.

Nice try though, but not necessarily the most brilliant strategy.

Nice..

America is a very powerful country
It's as though if you haven't been recognized in the United States, you have yet to get started
Perhaps that's why Nigerian companies are rushing to advertise their products on CNN
God bless America

IkpuMmadu:

When did an Agbor man become Igbo?

What is the meaning of Ovia in your language?

Yeah you are right but it’s never too late to start.

It was launched here in Lagos, Nigeria few months back.

There is something about the generation of these guysbin Nigeria.

They all focused on business

NwaAmaikpe:

Africa's narrative can never be changed.

Africa's narrative has changed but remains stagnant in the minds of the very ignorant who can not see the visible physical changes but resort to the narrative in their minds. Your assertion is plainly myopic. And that is because you have not really known Africa, it is a continent of many countries, some of these countries are very much better than 'some' Western Countries and 'some' European countries.

But then again, someone in a hamlet of some village will always think the rest of African countries and their cities must look like his hamlet.

That is ignorant perception of the subject's myopic narrative and not the true position of things.

Rest in Peace, friend.

Dwizeone:


Yeah you are right but it’s never too late to start.

Absolutely spot on, not too late. He needs to start from home, he needs to grow people and stop being a selfish blot that he is almost always.

come to Benin city and see how scanty it is
all roads blocked cos of book launch

Nice. I would love to read it.
