"I will refer to an African proverb that says that if you want to go fast, go alone and if you want to go far, go with people. In any case, collaboration is the new competition. We ask ourselves a lot, what is the value of all of nothing when you can own a part of something. Now, time is also of the essence and it is in our best interest for us to be able to move and to reap the highest number in the quickest possible time. So collaboration is critical. And I mean, we just had to try it. So, once we find people who want the same things as us, or share our values, we are always eager to work with them for the greater good. So, it’s not about me or about The Temple Company, it is about Lagos, Nigeria, Africa and the world. And when it is about the world, we can go that extra mile to get the best results."
