Famed CNN anchor Richard Quest was in Nigeria last
week on a voyage of discovery, learning about local culture and how it
impacts on people doing business in Africa’s largest economy.
Not surprisingly, he turned to Mo Abudu, founder and CEO of EbonyLife TV and Executive Producer of The Wedding Party,
the most successful film in Nollywood history. As one of the leading
surveyors of Nigerian culture, Mo was the ideal person to guide Richard
through the maze of contradictions that often confound newcomers.
During his trip to Lagos, Mo took Richard for a tasty lunch at NOK by Alara
in Victoria Island and they went for a jog along the Lekki-Ikoyi link
bridge, where Richard learned the nuances of Nigerian attitudes to
business and that elusive ‘Nigerian factor’ that keeps people proud,
successful and resilient.
