Suleman’s Business Advice: Value Creation and Lessons from Igbo Entrepreneurship

Apostle Suleman’s recent message pushes Nigerian entrepreneurs to shift their focus. Instead of just chasing sales, he’s advocating for building value. It’s not just about finding existing properties, he argues; it’s about creating them. Buy land, develop properties – take initiative.

His core point resonates: foresight matters. Estate agents shouldn’t only seek properties to sell. He urges thinking about acquiring land to build and sell.

Suleman also highlights the Igbo people, known for their industriousness, as an example. He suggests their “I have everything” mentality is key to success. An Igbo trader rarely admits to lacking a product, embodying a can-do attitude. He illustrated this with a story of finding obscure motorbike parts, showcasing resourcefulness through networking.

It’s more than just having the product; it’s about connecting supply chains, negotiating, and ensuring the client is served while maintaining a profit. This underlines the importance of connections and resourcefulness in business.

He encourages a “bring it on” spirit, urging people to embrace any opportunity. Stop limiting yourself, he suggests.

Suleman then touches on a spiritual angle, outlining four ways God provides: people, supernatural intervention, “rock,” and even enemies. Dignity and success, in his view, stem from hard work and recognizing available resources.

That’s the interesting part. While the spiritual framing might not resonate with everyone, the core message of proactive thinking and opportunity-seizing does. Suleman’s address prompts reflection on how Nigerians can embrace a mindset of long-term wealth creation and self-sufficiency. Ultimately, value creation trumps simple transactions. It’s an age old principle, but worth repeating.
