Nigeria at 60: My prayers for my dear country- Obaego, CEO of Teczo Real Estate

In a few days time, October 1, 2020 to be precise, Nigeria will be celebrating 60 years since she got her independence from the British colonial rule in 1960.

This year like every other, Nigerians home and Diaspora will proudly celebrate the 60th anniversary of their country’s independence, but with mixed feelings; as we are yet to achieve this dream of oneness, a state of tranquillity and togetherness.

However, for Serial entrepreneur Ejiobi Charles Chibuike, better known as Obaego, he has a special prayer for Nigeria of his dream.
“My wishes for my dear country Nigeria is love, peace and unity. A country where our children will be safe and become leaders of tomorrow indeed. I believe Nigeria will get better some day,” he noted.

Obaego who is the Managing Director and CEO of Teczo Real Estate, also avowed that there is a lot to be thankful for in 2020, despite the devastation of Covid-19 on the global economy.

“The fact that we are still alive is something to all living souls to be thankful for,” he reiterated.

Lots of Nigerians are not certain of what the year 2021 would bring forth, but Obaego is full of optimism.

“History has shown that each time the world suffered a setback, humanity invariably bounced back stronger; and usually after a bust, what follows is a boom,” he explained.

Speaking further, he underscored the fact that the global lockdown forced businesses to think outside the box. “We have seen how businesses made innovative use of social media to the point that certain businesses were able to get back on their feet after a few months.”

On how the coronavirus pandemic affected his business, Obaego said: “Some months ago, every business was shut down; since no one was travelling around the world, and no one was trading foreign exchange, my forex business, Teczo Forex Bureau was grossly affected.

While the world was thinking of survival, no one was buying houses, so my real estate business was on standstill. At the same time, no one was moving about, hence, no one was interested in buying cars, so Teczo Autos too was affected.”
