Nigerian bankers have the worst luck of any bankers in the world. In fact, Nigeria has to be the most dangerous place to be a millionaire. They are all dead. And wouldn’t you know. My Polish ancestry all comes from long lost Nigerian royalty. Who’da thunk?

“He was a lawyer by profession”

He was general counsel for General Mills cereal company in Lagos. His signature telephone response: “Hello hello! I’m Kuku for Cocoa Puffs. Let me help you.”
