Orji Uzor Kalu and his Sharing of Business Formulas

Ex Abia State governor Orji Uzor Kalu, Publisher of The Sun Newspapers

Slok Group is an overriding forename in the Nigerian and international business discourse; and it did not just become such an interventional and a highly rated group of companies, which is involved in different business interests, if not that a strong-willed man like Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is the navigator.

Kalu's freshly visit to India to discuss business opportunities that will benefit Nigeria has been generating dust, as a magnetic personality that Kalu is. It has been said in a venture by Yours Truly that there is no contradiction that Nigerian leaders who are not investor-friendly are the most shady and, should be weeded out of the governing bench, because their lackadaisical behaviours to employment kill more unrecorded number of Nigerians than any insurgent's detonated bomb and shattering bullets.

This is where the cordial Kalu is different: He has brought poverty to face the music for its crimes against the teeming Nigerian people; and he is not loaded with money to spray around, but with business scheme-force to downturn the menace of poverty in the country.

It has also been said in another venture by Your Truly that just like the security agents fight crime, Kalu's fight shoots across the root cause of crime which is poverty, whereas certain people's feeding budget in the world per annum is in millions or billions of money.

What many Nigerians have not realized is that with Kalu's business initiatives and as one of the foremost employers of labour in Nigeria, he is fighting corruption. With Kalu, many Nigerians are not shaking, because they know that employment is sure for them that will see principle and, not the many who were only employed on the pages of the newspapers.

This epoch trip has further exposed that Kalu is not a man who is limited to making friends and empowering people alone, but also, as a man who loves Nigeria and Nigerians to succeed, not minding traducers, who always feel jittery about his bluntness against injustice.

One other aspect of this trip is that it has uncovered Kalu's obligatory potentials, which are embedded in decisiveness and resoluteness.

As far as Leadership is concerned, Kalu is of a higher standard, building personality beyond anything that can be called limitation. Following Kalu's arithmetic to observing and doing business, it can be deduced that he explores new business, when it is felt that others are running the business badly.

Kalu did not make a mistake when he opined that Nigeria is business friendly, no matter any contrasting view, during the interactive conference he had in India that was according-to-the-grapevine organised by Prime Electric Group of India, in juxtaposition with Progressive Harmony Development, at the PHD Chambers, Delhi, India.

As an inspiration to billions of people worldwide in business and other positive preferences, Kalu has not hidden his wand to doing business and why he has been a successful businessman. He has always unravelled his business mettle.

Discerning minds would recall that Kalu is an excellent businessman who has not hidden his voice to inspire the old, young and about-to-start business people, saying that a good businessman must be clairvoyance to see business beyond his or her confines; just the same way a newsman is always psychic for news.

Kalu would advise that business opportunities do not just come by, if one does not espouse the ability of being extrasensory. Meaning that a businessman must have his eyes, ears, nose, heart and brain trained on business, to prognosticate when there is an opportunity.

To him, Kalu is against any tutorial that there are obstacles in business. He sees this as a lazy man's excuse, even when obstacles can never be ruled out of business.

There is no doubt that the President of Slok Group, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is following his passion. And there is no better way to succeed in business than one to follow his or her passion. This is what compelled Kalu to India between April 28 and May 7, where ambassadors of countries and businesses were in attendance to establish this consolation of a steel mill. Kalu went to India to put a full-stop in a pact for the institutionalisation of a steel systematic mill in Abia State, precisely, at his ever loved hometown of Igbere.

Just exactly this time last year, Kalu was at a foreign envoy in Abuja, where he played the leader of the team that visited the ambassador to discuss business transactions and how more investors could be attracted to the country.

Not thinking like a new customer to a business, Kalu's foresightedness to efficacious business activities that have bettered the lots of many without mud legs and without any glimpse of egocentric tendencies, are commendable.

It has been written by Yours Truly that Kalu's approach to the national issues as they relate to investment and progressivism show the mindset of a man who would prefer to be hypertensive through initiating business ideas for the citizens to enjoy and be cured of hypertension.

Nigerians have to commend the rapid progression with which Kalu fights poverty in Nigeria by making sure that something unpleasant stops happening in Nigeria, carefully and regularly. His advancement to business is exfoliating among the political class.

Also, it has been written by Yours Truly that without doubt, Kalu is endowed with business ideas and scuttles to making sure that ordinary Nigerians are the beneficiaries. With this primacy, Nigerians have been benefitting from his workings, so that they don't engage in shoddy business that has not helped any person in life.

Today, many Nigerians have a right to take employment under Kalu's business initiatives as long as they could follow the business guidelines, which are humanitarian, and as far as they do not abuse their offices, hence cutting down the cost of unemployment in the citizenry. And one wonders how many thousands of people, if not millions, would benefit from the steel mill at Igbere, when finally put in place.
