LESSONS LEARNED FROM GREAT CEOs


The SpeedMeal Story (Titus and Tobias Igwe )

The Igwe brothers are some of the many Nigerians who have come face to face with the grim reality of the Nigerian situation. Considering the untimely death of their father and other intricate variants.


The Igwe brothers decided to drop out of school and resorted to working as office assistants. In th course of running errand for their senior colleagues - including buying food for them. The Igwe brothers toyed with the idea of running a mobile kitchen that will cater for cooperate organizations and workers.

The Igwe brothers rose above one of the biggest problems that have killed many #start-ups ideas ; Insufficient or Lack of capital. They took a huge sacrifice - one which many nigerians will not be willing to take - starting a business with their school fees. Their hope of recouping the investment capital on time to pay their school fees was dashed. Titus had to drop out of school while Tobias continued. But the brothers were determined to succeed. They had a vision that only them could see - No one else but them.

The Igwe brothers listened to the listen voice inside them that told them to grow some hair on their chest... They obliged by setting realistic vision. That vision has now grown into a multi-million naira company.
