Everywhere I go, I see young people: Confident, forward looking. I have seen them in Lagos, in Rwanda, in the suburbs of London.
That has been another interesting discovery: that basically a city [Lagos] could recover from a really deep, deep, deep pit.
My knowledge of Abuja is not as deep as my knowledge of Lagos.
Lagos was not very inviting even to Lagosians. It was considered a no-go zone, almost in its entirety.
Lagos has also had a particular effect on my career. I was there early, and although it was a courageous step to go there and invest on this scale - I went there maybe 20 times - it's also been also super-controversial. There's an old school of thought that somebody like me has no place to go there. Because of colonialism and so on.
