Challenges Motivate Me As An Ambitious Entrepreneur”

…Africent Group boss, Juwon Razaq Lawal

Freedom and entrepreneurship lead to innovations that improve lives and give individual’s dreams a boost. Self-discovery is the pathway to achieving that. This principle holds true for Juwon Razaq Lawal, a Nigerian born young entrepreneur of note.

In a world where most people never figure out what they are really obsessed with, Juwon, as he is simply addressed, acted differently; he was obsessed with personal fantasies of enduring wealth, and fame, aimed at creating a legacy that would outlast his time. His plans suggest the world looks differently as he deploys passion as a valuable tool to build the life he dreamt of.

Juwon, the founder and director of AfriCent Group DWC LLC, a global conglomerate, which affiliates include Cropyfy UK Ltd, a commodity trading and logistics services company based in London; S8 Contractors & Company Ltd, an oil and gas logistics support services company, and Oillet Services Ltd, a palm kernel oil mills and livestock feeds processing company, is a textbook of self-discovery. While some are billionaires through inheritance, Razaq asserts he made his wealth from personal efforts and enterprise, by applying a winning attitude, years of sweat and tears.

“There are no tricks to being a unique entrepreneur than having the ability to build yourself; first to be a selling point and then to be able to sell your products and services to others with or without your physical presence,” he said of his creative abilities and focus, stating further that “entrepreneurship is not the same as buying and selling but building a venture, taking risks and accepting responsibility for the good or bad. Of course, you must face challenges as an ambitious entrepreneur and that increases the chance for growth and motivation.”

Entrepreneurship is patience, focus, consistency and visions without giving up, Juwon counsels promising entrepreneurs. “An entrepreneur that has eyes on accomplishments doesn’t trade time for money or sell time for rewards. A good entrepreneur must be a good sales person; the single most important thing is to be able to sell. He or she must be able to count the numbers, nothing more. Then success will follow.”

Having invested his sweats and his fortune fast growing, Juwon who made his first millions of naira at age 23 consulting for corporations, asserts that being able to continually funding his expanding ventures, makes his 15 years journey as a businessman meaningful. “I’ve had no difficulty raising funds to run my businesses because I personally have always been discovered to be a born entrepreneur and an active one who grew to pick and develop a career that has run smoothly for one and half decade. We fund the businesses through ploughed-back profits. Also, a good entrepreneur or business needs no funding to start with, funding is only required for growth and expansion.”

With head offices based in UAE and the United Kingdom, Juwon’s business branches spread across African countries, including Nigeria, Senegal and Ghana.

For the widely traveled Kogi State born socialite, the unique selling point of any good business must be a quality that breeds progress and improves growth. “A business survives the tide only when it is good at what it produces and known for,” suggests the young entrepreneur who says he is never satisfied improving on the last success as he keeps moving and inspired to do better than the last. “I’m motivated by solving problems. I don’t run from difficult business or services that others seem as impossible or not worth the stress. I move to do such provided it solves problem and such a situation ends up in success.”

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
