The Chairman of Heirs Holdings who also coined the word ‘Africapitalism’ urged private and public sector stakeholders to work together in what he describes as “Shared Purpose”.

“It is critical for the public and private sectors to work together in “SHARED PURPOSE”, which is a key tenet of Africapitalism – the economic philosophy I espouse which calls for the private sector to play a key role in Africa’s social and economic development by investing in strategic sectors for both economic profit and social prosperity.”

See how our elites class are wasting our money in aimless and fruitless trip that has no bearing on the suffering Nigerians back home.

With all this busy body by Obasanjo when will the youth in Nigeria have such an opportunity to develop their potentials.

dis are the real youths of nigeria dey are still leading, while the old youths are leading in cultism and militancy.

What would Bukola Saraki even do if this Toyin Saraki decides to contest for 2019 presidency? Kill her?

Toyin Saraki - Serious minded woman
Aisha Buhari + daughters - Half-baked beauty therapist and government funds diverting scroungers.
America knows wheat from chaff, how can they invite a woman that carried makeup artist to UN on government funds to any serious meeting? Abeg leave Aisha to be fighting Fayose.
