Business mogul, Obi Cubana, has shared his thoughts on why African entrepreneurs struggle to achieve global success, attributing it to a lack of collaboration and an obsession with sole ownership.
Speaking on the mindset gap between African and Western entrepreneurs, Cubana said most Africans prefer to run businesses alone, while foreigners understand the power of partnerships and shared ownership.
He noted that this mentality limits growth and makes complex projects difficult to execute, as individuals often prioritise control over collective success.

Obi Cubana“Why we Africans don’t go far in business is because we want to own it ourselves, nobody wants to share. But oyibo people, I bet you there might be 20 owners who don’t even know themselves and they come together to make complex project look very simple”
