One of the greatest virtues of successful entrepreneurs is their calmness in the midst of a storm. They run on a completely differe
nt psychology while others panic on the road to an unpleasant end. They embark on the quest to finding the way out, knowing that the storm is just for a time.
Serial entrepreneur, , Okafor Chinedu Emmanuel, who is fondly called
VGH BOSS, is chairman of VGH Group, which comprises VGH Industrial Production, VGH Homes Limited and VGH Music. It is not a secret that Nigeria is not one of the best places in the world to run a business, let alone become an incurable investor.
Strangely, VGH BOSS has turned water into wine in every sector of the sectors of the economy he is found. VGH Industrial Production is a dominant force in the recycling industry in Nigeria. Aimless dumping of platic wastes has constituted the greatest danger to the country’s environment, particularly in the major cities, where government has failed to, unlike in the development societies, formulate policies to drastically mitigate the impact on their environment.
VGH BOSS is a frontrunner in the recycling sector. He invested massively in the venture, even with no assurances of profitability and was patient until a point of stability and profit, transforming wastes in the form of plastic bags, plastic water bottles, polyethylene bottles recycling, etc, into a real manufacturing business.
Through vision, perseverance, determination and goal-setting, he has played a central role in turning the industry into a major contributor to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Business executive such as the VGH Homes Limited managing director put their money where their mouth is, with optimism, and preparation for whatever eventuality that comes with the decision. As lucrative as the real estate industry in the country appears to have been over the last decade, many unaddressed areas still bedevil its overall growth, such as land grabbing and other intricacies.
But through VGH Homes Limited,
Okafor Chinedu Emmanuel has been providing real housing solutions across the country, navigating the risks that comes with the venture in communities it operates across the country, especially in Lagos, where land grabbing remains a threat to real estate investors. VGH Homes Limited has been a soothing music to residents, who are seeking to escape the torture by landlords who rule like feudals.
With branches in several states across the country, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, VGH Homes Limited is unarguably a leading competitor in the industry, making dreams of many Nigerians come through by becoming home owners with flexible payment pattern. The VGH BOSS is delivering mass, affordable housing to middle income earners in the country, in the face of apparent lack of desire by the government to take the challenge as a social responsibility.
VGH BOSS is also a foremost humanitarian. He is the hope of the poor and food to the hungry. Under his business conglomerate is VGH Music, a thriving music record label hunting young talents and again, making their dream of becoming global superstars come true. Inspite of the optimism, he understands managing his expectations, which is why he advised that, “No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.”
