Murphy Anawana, the founder and chairman of Murphy-Ben International (MBI) and Aforevo (Africa Online Revolution) TV, took center stage at the recently concluded Nigerian International Film & TV Summit (NiFSTV) held at the prestigious Marriott Hotel in GRA, Ikeja.

Anawana’s powerful speech will remain indelible In the minds of the attendees. He emphasized on the paramount importance of unity in Nigeria and shared his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to entrepreneurial success.

During his compelling speech, Anawana passionately addressed a crucial issue that he believes plagues Nigeria – tribalism. In his perspective, tribalism takes precedence over corruption as the nation’s most significant challenge. Anawana expressed his concerns about the divisive impact of tribalism and the urgency of transcending it to forge a more united nation.

Anawana, a visionary serial entrepreneur, began his address by recounting his personal journey to success, highlighting the origins of his MBI business. He shared a heartfelt anecdote of starting with just one laptop and no investors, underscoring the significance of small beginnings. “I remember when we started. It was a humble beginning with one laptop. We didn’t have any investors,” he reminisced.

The crux of Anawana’s message revolved around the idea that, in pursuit of success, individuals must seek a higher purpose. He emphasized that a higher purpose is the driving force that propels individuals forward, even in the face of adversity. “Sometimes for you to succeed, you have to look for a higher purpose. Because that is what will keep you going even when it is very tough, that is what will keep moving you beyond Naira and Kobo,” he fervently stated.

Anawana’s address concluded with a resounding call for unity in Nigeria. He firmly asserted, “For me, I think the biggest problem Nigeria has is tribalism, not corruption. Corruption is number 2. And if you look, you will see the way some of us look at each other with hate. For us at Aforevo, it’s a no-no. Because we have good people everywhere [as well as bad]. I am an Igbo man but I remember that when I was very down, it was a Yoruba lady that helped me up “.
