Years later, he learnt about an opportunity in Kenya to flip the operations of a port grain terminal, the company needed to introduce technology to change its business operation. He saw the prospect of advancement and expansion and he left Nigeria to take up the offer in Kenya.
On why he actually left Nigeria, in the line of is job he met a Chinese investor who sold hopelessness about the Nigeria economy to him. During their discussion, he was told that the way the Nigerian Government is running the economy was not sustainable and will lead to the crash of the local currency. This got him thinking and made him start researching about their discussion. He realized that if this happens, his current earning was going to drop significantly by the mere fact of the anticipated depreciation of the Naira and so he started making contact to pursue his dreams elsewhere.
