Chijioke Ezenwanwe would pass as a footballer, a highlife musician, a seminarian or even a newly married man. But a close contact would display a deeper, richer version of this enigma of a business giant. He revealed he is an importer and distributor of heavy duty vehicles' brand new spare parts amongst other businesses. This second son of Chief Ezenwanwe in Agba village -Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State stated categorically that success in business depended on three things; contact, honesty and capital. 'Anyone can thrive well in any business if he has these three things' , he affirmed. And as he elaborately expresses his wide scope of contact, one would testify to the fact that he indeed practices what he preaches.
Igbos have always had a communal based culture. This explains their seemingly natural enterprise in all things. Chijioke Ezenwanwe responded to the issue of tokumbo version brand new motor parts by saying, 'Coming to that, it is true in some areas, when one cannot get an original version of the part. The high influx of fake clones of motor parts was what made used original ones seem better. But, a new one is still a new one. You cannot compare an original new car part with a fairly used one.'
He enjoined every Igbo man and everyone in general to endeavour to make self-effort in realising their dreams of economic emancipation and suchlike. 'Rome was not built in a day', he quoted. Chijioke posited that everything happens gradually and should therefore be followed gradually. The most important', he added, 'is being straightforward and sincere in all you do', 'doing so will secure your future for you.' 'But if you seek to get it all today', he reiterated, 'you might be successful today but tomorrow, you might not be.'a
