#10: Jideofor Ahaneku — A Nigerian Prince & Cultural Integrationist's Tale Getting an MBA in China, Sourcing for Nigeria, Closing Big Deals Over Dinner and the Value of Social Connection in Business
Jideofor Ahaneku calls himself a student of life who keeps trying to figure out the big picture, and this has led him to keep connecting the dots! Some dots of which are; turning his peoples’ skills into entrepreneurship as a business facilitator, notably as a trade agent helping micro businesses connect with Chinese manufacturers. Little wonder he spent five years living in and exploring China, connecting with the people, the culture, and learning the language! Three years after leaving China, he still lives these experiences, and now considers himself a cultural integrationist fusing African, Asian and North American cultural experiences into one unique capsule to paint his big picture!
He's attempted several startup ventures over the past years, many failed!! His most recent endeavor is Gobuyhub, an ecommerce company he started to help Nigerian small businesses solve supply-chain frictions of sourcing products from verified and quality Chinese suppliers.
