• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You spoke about coming here to Ghana obviously, or oil
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and gas was on the forefront of your mind other
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: other countries.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. I didn't even know about it before.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: You came you still doing telecom that became the business.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Other other countries on the continent, it's fairly formal that
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: people should be looking at that there's opportunities inside of
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: them as well. Right because we know Ghana and for America,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: it feels like this is the first place we gotta
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: come talk about some of some of the pros and
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: cons of some of the countries and where all those
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: countries are on the continent.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Nigeria is the biggest, you know country in uh in
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: this region. I mean, I think it is the big
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: biggest economy in Africa right now. Definitely West in terms
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of West Africa. UH Nigeria is a big dog. It
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: has a lot of opportunity. It has some cons which
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I think they are working on some security issues, But Nigeria, Nigeria,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Nigeria as opportunities. A lot of African countries have opportunities.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I think we need to stop watching Discovery Channel so
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: much with kids with cush co and you know, flies
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: and stuff. There are real opportunities in Africa. Look, ge Is, Microsoft,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: They're all in the continent. All these blue chip companies
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: are on the continent. So I don't want to limit
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: any country I mean we have operations in other African
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: countries as well, some in the French speaking countries, Boquina, Mali,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: all over. So you know, you just have to figure
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: out what it is that works for you but doesn't
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: work for you in Ghana doesn't mean I will not
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: work for you in Nigeria, I won't work for you
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: in Congo, you know, Angola, Rwanda, Kenya. I mean it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: it's it's huge, it's massive, so you have to figure
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: out your niche and what works. I just believe Ghana
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: is the gateway to Africa and then through the gateway
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: you can go that. Yeah, yeah, you can go wherever
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: else you want to go. So that's that's my opinion.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Africa is open. I mean Ghana's o people of business,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: but Africa is also open for business.

  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. What
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: do you see yourself ten years from now?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: This hits a bit hard because, like I just said,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: you know, I I lost the certain ye that's fine.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I've lost two close people to me within the last
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: five six weeks. And what I've learned from this is
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: that a lot of times we focus so much on
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: the past and the future and we don't enjoy, you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: the moment that we are in. I think we need
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: to start enjoying the moment that we are in. We
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: need to start And what do I mean by that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: If there's something that I can do today, I'm going
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: to get it done today.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: If there's someone that I can help today, I'm going
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: to help you today. I Am not going to wait
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: next week, because you know what, this moment is guaranteed.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Two hours from now is not guaranteed. So ten hours,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: ten ten years from now is that guarantee. So I
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: think my perspective I've kind of changed a little bit
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: from losing friends who are close to me, who I
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: was with a few hours before they passed. And what
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: I'm saying to myself is, I'm going to make the
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: best out of my life on the daily business, every
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: minute that I'm blessed with, I'm going to make the
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: best out of it. I'm going to work as hard
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: as I can. I'm going to do as much as
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I can, and I'll try and enjoy life as much
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: as I can. Because all the plans that we make
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: are not guaranteed. When we live here, nothing is guaranteed.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: So my my kind of new approach is, yes, I
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: have plans, you know, we have. We want to take
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: over Africa. We want to be able to touch so
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: much lives. You know, we support about ten thousand underprivileged children.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: We want to move it to about a million, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: underprivileged children. We want to make sure that we are
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: we are. We had, we had, we had to go
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: to a company in Africa. All those things, yes, they're
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: all well and good, but I want to enjoy the moments.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I want to enjoy it now. I want to enjoy
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: all the people that are here in Ghana, you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and wish everyone the best of lucky or whatever it
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: is they're doing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna wait and wish the best of luck
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: whatever they're doing in the a's five years. So that's how
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: I see life right now. Make some noise. You thank
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: thank you, thank you, thank you.
