Many don’t know this, but @capitalsageholdings , which is now a diversified conglomerate, began as a simple intervention to give farmers access to markets and local women means of trade.
From lending ₦100,000 to rural farmers and market women in 2014 to building global agribusiness operations (@johnventsgroup ), financial & fintech solutions (@ercas_hq & @kolomoni_ng ) and healthcare (@bestwesternhospital ), our journey affirms one truth: Africa’s next independence is economic.
That’s why I am honoured to share this story in a recent interview with @forbesafrica for its Nigeria Independence Day Edition, alongside other Nigerian leaders shaping the future.
The CapitalSage Holdings' story is bigger than one person. It is about Africa’s resilience, innovation, global expansion and confidence to build a future the world cannot ignore.

“I had two decisions: either I leave the cell and stop my entrepreneurial journey, or I go out and become stronger.” — @johnalamu , Founder and Group Managing Director, on how it all started.

Yesterday at @theplatformnigeria , I made one thing clear to the over 5,000 young minds like myself in the hall:
Ideas are not loyal. They are looking for those who will execute them. And to execute a great idea, you need to be audacious.

As Africans, and especially as Nigerians, we must tell our own stories now more than ever.
That is what makes the @nidacity Podcast truly special.
In this episode of the Nidacity Podcast, I share part of my journey, from graduating with a Third Class degree to building a multinational conglomerate across agriculture, financial services, and manufacturing by age 33.
We discuss entrepreneurship in emerging markets, taking risks, building creditworthiness, raising capital, and creating credible institutions in Nigeria’s real economy.
Please watch tomorrow on The Builders by @nidacity .

It’s not just wining and dining. It’s a coming together of great minds. It’s a network of experts building Africa’s financial future.
The board members, executive management and partners of CapitalSage Technology Group spent time bonding at @soralagos over the weekend following the induction of new board members across all the subsidiaries and it was an awesome experience.

Spending time with His Excellency Baba @chiefolusegun was both grounding and instructive.
Time with a global statesman is different. It is not small talk. It is perspective shaped by decades of leadership, conflict resolution, institution building and nation shaping. You feel the weight of experience in the room. You listen more than you speak.
Our discussion centred on production, self-reliance and the discipline required to build enduring enterprises.
At Johnvents Group, that discipline defines our work. We add value to cocoa locally, refine soya, expand manufacturing across home-grown commodities and strengthen agricultural value chains. Thousands of direct and indirect jobs are sustained through this commitment to local value addition.
The work is steady. The vision is long term.
Thank you Baba for the unforgettable moment.
When industry thrives, people thrive.
Thank you, His Excellency, Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for the honour and recognition.

Honoured to speak at the Ondo Investment Summit as an investor in the state.
Our industrial journey began in Ondo State, transforming one moribund factory into ten factories across cocoa, soya bean, cashew, cereals, seasoning and other food categories. Today, Johnvents Group operates across Africa, Asia and Europe, adding value through processing and manufacturing.
We employ over 3,000 people in Ondo State alone.
This is bigger than investment.
It is about dignity.
It is about empowerment.
When industry thrives, people thrive.
