AFRICAN ENTERPRISE & DEVELOPMENT

Investor | Operator | Filmmaker

I have always been interested in how power is built: who controls capital, who moves value, who shapes the narrative, and who has the capacity to execute.

That interest drives my work across African industry, investment, global trade, and media—with a shared ambition to strengthen African ownership and economic power.

I am developing BlackCity Industries across mining, manufacturing, industrial development, and commodity trading. Africa Trade Security focuses on due diligence and transaction security, while AfriGen is my vehicle for private investment and development. Through OVG, I build media and storytelling ventures, including Africa Business.

I came to this work through two decades in media and entrepreneurship across the United States, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom. My work has reached approximately 20 million views, spanning presidential interviews, White House coverage, Hollywood productions, and original films. That journey also includes launching technology ventures and completing Harvard Business School’s Program for Leadership Development.

Film remains central to my purpose. Building productive businesses and creating original stories are both ways of shaping the future—and ensuring Africans have greater ownership of their resources, opportunities, and narratives.
