As a busy wife and computer science graduate Kasope Ladipo-Ajai no longer had the 2-3 hours it took to make a standard stew or soup after facing hours of traffic plus a full workday. Spending time abroad she saw how quick service and prepackaged meals made life easier for busy families, especially working moms. While busy urbanites are having trouble accessing and cooking fresh meals, millions of pounds of produce go to waste during long transit times to urban centers. Kasope and her husband Olatayo founded Omo Alata Foods to provide ready to cook pepper and stew products and tap into the rapidly growing middle class consumer and desire for high quality packaged foods. 6 Likes |

Meet the Boss: Amy Jadesimi, managing director, LADOL Nigeria By Jumoke Plumptre | November 12, 2015 **** Nigeria set to join G20 economies as LADOL’s $3bn Egina FPSO integration yard attains 75% completion ****LADOL, Samsung to establish N51bn vessel fabrication facility 1. What was your first job? I worked in investment banking for Goldman Sachs in London. 2. What parts of your job keep you awake at night? There are lots of things. The best way to describe it is that we are building an industrial village from scratch, and now we are sort of a third of the way through. So we are building and running at the same time. What keeps me awake at night are personnel issues, operational issues with clients and with jobs we have going on – and then of course thinking about financing and fundraising for the next stage. So quite a few things. 3. Who has had the biggest impact on your career and why? It is probably a combination of my mother and grandfather. My mother worked for some of the time I was growing up and some of the time she didn’t. She is one of those people who manages to be very feminine and very loving, and in some ways a stereotypical mother who was at home a lot and looked after us, but she is also a savvy businesswoman. She is beautiful, an incredibly strong and dignified person, and also a very decent person. I think that decency and kindness and compassion for the world – those are things which you don’t really learn at Goldman Sachs. I am not one of these people that slams bankers – but you don’t learn compassion and kindness there. So those character traits combined in someone who is very intelligent and is savvy and who has given me a lot of good advice about career choices and business choices – that has had a very powerful impact on me growing up. And then there is my grandfather. He was assassinated before I was born but I grew up hearing a lot about him. He was someone who had a lot of foresight. He also invested in businesses, built schools, and was focused on building industries in Nigeria. As I was growing up I learnt a lot about his career, like he was a self-made man and also seemed to have compassion and respect. He really believed in Nigeria, but also believed in the power of the private sector to drive change. So those two people have probably had the most profound effect. 4. What is the best professional advice you’ve ever received? Stanford is quite a unique business school, not just because it is entrepreneurially focused, but it really celebrates individualism. It is the only kind of institution of higher learning I have been to where you are really encouraged to figure out what your passion is – no matter what it is. The idea is once you figure that out, you just need to put everything into it. But not in a wishy-washy way. It teaches you structures, how you can turn [your passion] into a business or whatever. It doesn’t have to be for-profit. There are a lot of Stanford business school students who pursue non-profit enterprises as well. One of our classes had to do with interpersonal relations – that’s where you really learn what it’s like to kind of see things from other people’s perspectives. And I think growing up the way I did – very focused on my academics, achievements, exams and things like that – learning how to sort of step back, empathise with people and see things from other people’s perspective, was probably the best thing I ever learnt at school. And it has really helped me, particularly being a managing director. You are dealing with so many types of people and so many different problems on a daily basis. So that class on interpersonal relations has really stayed with me. 5. The top reasons why you have been successful in business? I think I am a grafter. I work really hard and that has really stood me in good stead. I have never thought of myself as being a smart person or not, I am just happy to kind of put my head down and work. Also, I’m not worried about what other people think – not in an arrogant way I hope, but from a sense that I set myself internal goals and I am focused on achieving them. And I try to make sure they aren’t influenced by the outside world, like the media… So I think hard work and being true to myself has been key. Although when I say it out loud it just sounds very sort of “Hollywood”. 6. Where’s the best place to prepare for leadership? Business school or on the job? If I had to choose between the two, then I would have to say on the job. And I think business school is not something most people will get to experience. But I would say it’s probably the icing on the cake. One of the reasons I went to business school though is because I thought that, initially being trained as a doctor, I could always get a job in a hospital. But going to business school I felt it was a nice safety net – that I would always be able to get a job somewhere in the world and it gives one that extra security. So business school is kind of like the belt and braces, but on the job is the meat of the matter… So you can’t beat learning on the job – starting from the bottom, working your way up, understanding every aspect of how the company works. You really can’t beat that. 7. How do you relax? I try to exercise a lot. I like running. I have taken up boxing training, which is for anybody who is trying to get fit quickly. I don’t box, I do the training the boxers do – which involves a little bit of sparring and lifting, but there is a lot of exercise, sit-ups and things like that. So that sort of training regime is a good thing to do if you want to get fit really quickly – and it definitely takes your mind off things and relaxes you. 8. By what time in the morning do you like to be at your desk? I find 7:30 is a good time. Between 7:30 and 9:00 you don’t have too many interruptions. 9. Your favourite job interview question? I always ask them about where they see themselves in five years. And I know everybody hates that question, but it is actually really insightful… I don’t really care what the answer is, but what I am trying to get from them is two things. Firstly, I want to know that they actually have a vision for their future, that they have some plans and ambitions. Even though it is a question that everybody expects, you would be surprised by how many people just answer it in a way that shows they haven’t really thought through the next two minutes, let alone the next five years. Secondly, it is also good to know what people’s ambitions are, if they have them. In the case of LADOL, I always tell them I love entrepreneurs. So the extent of their ambition is to set up their own LADOL or to set up a facility inside LADOL, or to stay and help build it – any of those answers are great and can be accommodated. Because it is part of my belief in teamwork and collaboration that whatever your ambition is, if you are honest about it and you are willing to work hard, helping someone else fulfil their ambition can only be positive. There is no negative. If someone wants to come and do something positive with their lives and build a business, or set up a consultancy or something like that – if they do that and they are successful, it is always a positive for us. So I like that question. 10. What is your message to Africa’s aspiring business leaders and entrepreneurs? Be very hardworking. There is that book which a lot of people have read – Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell – which kind of says it all. It goes through all these successful people and unlike other kinds of books that talk about successful people, this one actually tells you the truth – which is the one factor correlated with all successful people. Hard work. He even comes up with a number, how I don’t know, but he says most successful people have spent at least 10,000 hours doing the thing they then become successful at. Like the Beatles ended up becoming a huge success after they had spent over 10,000 hours performing in all kinds of clubs in Europe and then travelling around really earning their stripes. Similarly with Bill Gates. He may have dropped out of university – which is the only part anybody remembers – but he didn’t drop out of university and do nothing. He was actually sitting in a basement for two years straight, coding for 18 hours a day. So hard work is really essential. You have got to be prepared to roll your sleeves up, and don’t imagine that just because you hear fantastic stories about people who drop out of school and make a fortune, and do things the easy way, that this is typical. It is far from typical. If you work hard, even if you don’t get what you are aiming for, you will get something. You will never be empty-handed. And the experience of working hard opens up so many doors because in the process you’re educating yourself, you are learning about yourself, you are learning about other people, you are meeting people, and people can see your work and your passion – and it will lead to something. The other thing I will say is hold yourself to a high level of integrity. Think about integrity as a way of maximising the return from your hard work for yourself and for society. Integrity is really important. And don’t be confused or deluded by stories that suggest Africans don’t have integrity or that corruption is endemic in Africa. That view is absolutely ridiculous. So work hard, have high standards of integrity, and have fun as well. Because if you are doing something you love, working hard at it and being honest about it will also be fun. Dr Amy Jadesimi, is the managing director of the Lagos Deep Offshore Logistics Base (LADOL), a 100-hectare free zone and logistics hub in Nigeria for multinational industrial and offshore enterprises. Jadesimi graduated as a qualified medical doctor from Oxford University Medical School. She later joined Goldman Sachs International’s investment banking division in London, before attending Stanford Business School, where she earned an MBA. After graduating, she moved to Nigeria and set up a financial consultancy firm before joining the management team of LILE, an oil services company, and then LADOL as managing director. She was listed among the 20 Youngest Power Women In Africa by Forbes magazine in 2014 and was named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2013. 3 Likes

SUCCESS STORY FROM NIGERIA: DR. SEYI OYESOLA’S “HOSPITAL IN A BOX” May 30, 2015 · by Heidi Frontani · in Africa, aid, development, excellence, health, medical, Nigeria, success · Leave a comment Photo source: http://www.practiceventures.com /Dr_Oyesola.htm Seyi Oyesola was born in Nigeria, but spent much of his childhood growing up in Cleveland, Ohio in the USA. After graduating from high school in 1975, Mr. Oyesola returned to Nigeria and obtained his Bachelors of Science Degree and, in 1986, his Medical Degree from the University of Lagos. In Nigeria Mr. Oyesola was discouraged by the lack of medical facilities, especially in the country’s rural areas. He also was saddened by the many people dying from common, survivable ailments and injuries such as burns, trauma, and heart attacks because basic medical care was often so difficult to obtain. In 1996, while living in the UK where he had obtained some of his specialized training in anesthesiology and critical care, Dr. Oyesola founded a company called Practice Ventures. Practice Ventures supplies the best high-tech medical equipment and training to African hospitals. The ‘best’ medical products are often the least expensive, most sustainable and most versatile. An example is iVent, a ventilator that does not use compressed air, costs half the price of other ventilators and, unlike most ventilators, has the versatility to be used for children, adults, and in transit. In 2005 Dr. Oyesola collaborated with Alexander Bushell, an English engineer and co-developed CompactOR, a “hospital in a box,” that had the ability to bring surgical care to every part of Africa. The Oyesola-Bushell team was a natural one. Bushell’s experiences in rural Kenya were akin to Dr. Oyesola’s in Nigeria; emergencies that could have been handled readily were not, due to a lack of access to basic equipment. Since the CompactOR portable operating theater was launched in 2007, it has transformed the medical care that is available in rural areas, including those that are inaccessible by road, because the “hospital in a box ” can be delivered by jeep or by helicopter and set up in ten minutes. The portable hospital is a complete operating room with all the tools necessary including defibrillators, EKG monitoring, anesthesia, and surgical lighting. It, like the products supplied through Practice Ventures, is versatile; it can be powered through standard means, but also by a solar panel, a car’s 12 volt plug, or a foot pedal. It can be customized for oral surgeries, such as the removal of wisdom teeth or used for routine operations to remove cataracts, gall bladders, or appendices. It has been used successfully for hysterectomies and even heart surgeries. The basic hospital in a box costs less than £50,000 (around US $77,350) which is one fifth the cost of what had been available to provide the same services. Dr. Oyesola’s good work and innovator awards for hospital in a box led to him being invited to give a TED Global talk in 2007 . He used the platform to explain the challenging work conditions that Nigerian medical professionals face. He also noted that although basic care at hospitals is not as ‘popular’ with overseas donors as anti-malaria projects or HIV/AIDS interventions, that it is an area in which much could be done, especially if undertaken with some care rather than gifting outdated, obsolete, non-functioning, or non-reparable medical equipment. Dr. Oyesola is a strong proponent of medical professionals remaining in Nigeria and giving back to the country, although the decision to remain and serve is not an easy one given the meager salaries doctors earn. The decision may even be life threatening because there are many road accidents and hospitals are not up to desired standards. Major hospitals have anesthesiology machines and other equipment that is literally taped together. They often have unsanitary floors and dispense dangerous fake or adulterated medicines. Dr. Oyesola has taught at the Imperial College School of Medicine and currently is the Chief Medical Director of Delta State University Teaching Hospital (DELSUTH) in Nigeria. Commissioned in 2010, DELSUTH is a world-class facility. Its medical staff made history when they performed the first successful kidney transplant at the facility in 2014. 2 Likes

Kemi Adetiba got smitten by the film and TV world, quite early in life. Her dad, the urbane, ebullient Dele Adetiba used to take her along to the studio, whenever he had to produce adverts and jungles. And so, despite the fact that she took pains to study law, Kemi Adetiba abandoned the wig and gown for the media. She started her career as a radio presenter, and then moved into TV. She presented different shows on MNET Channel, such Studio 53 and Temptation Nigeria which she co-anchored alongside IK Osakioduwa. She also hosted shows on Soundcity TV. After a while, she went to the New York Film Academy to learn the rudiments of film making. She got back home and made a name for herself as a versatile music video director. She has directed musical videos for Tiwa Savage (for her song My Darlin'), Olamide's song - Sitting on the Throne, Banky W's hit titled Lagos Party, as well as "Dance Go (Eau de Vie)" for Hennessy Artistry featuring Whizkid and Tuface Idibia, among others. Last time we checked, Adetiba had directed over 30 musical videos for different artistes, cutting across various genres. Kemi Adetiba also produced and directed a short feature film titled Across a Bloodied Ocean. It was screened at the 2009 Pan African Film Festival and National Black Arts Festival. Her greatest success till date, has been directing the hit Nollywood movie 'The Wedding Party', which grossed over 450 million naira at the Nigerian box office within 3 months. She is a talented music video director, filmmaker, and television director whose works have appeared on Channel O, MTV Base, Soundcity TV, BET and Netflix. Kemi Adetiba remains the 'Queen behind the Screen,' when it comes to directing. And she is not likely to lose that title anytime soon. Some of the awards Adetiba's works have won, include Best Female Video for the song "Ekundayo" by TY Bello at the Soundcity TV Music Video Awards, Best Female Video for the song "Today na Today" by Omawumi at the 2010 Nigeria Entertainment Awards. 4 Likes 1 Share
