So, who was Allan's "bigger brother"? Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

July 2008 - A statement from Steadman Group board of directors said that Synovate had acquired 100 per cent interest in the company. The two companies yesterday said there would be no change in the management of Steadman business, but that a re-branding of the company would happen in the near future. http://www.the-star.co.k...ld-french-research-firm
October 2011 - French based Ipsos announced yesterday it has acquired the entire Synovate business in Africa for close to Sh86.6 billion (£525 million) making it the third largest research firm in the world. Synovate operates in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, Zambia and Mozambique. As MD, what was Waititu's stake in the company? Ipsos paid 86.6 billion for 100% of Synovate's Africa business. How much did Synovate pay for the Steadman business? How large was the Kenya business relative to the Africa business? 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% or maybe even 70%? You can do the math. Business when it takes off is far more profitable than Kenyan's obsession with buying and selling land. Hapana shangaa na the 'sudden wealth' of jirani yako without realizing they took business risks you were probably too scared to.  Na kununua shares ya blue chip companies like Safcon! Anyway was Steadman a Kenyan firm wholly? And was Waititu just an employee and not a major shareholder. But I'm seeing some cents in your hypothesis.  Good Analysis. For anyone who is doubting how Waititu got the money, you have the answer above and here is the connection.....Waititu was not Just an employee. At one point, during a press conference, this was his answer to one of the questions and I quote "For the ownership of Steadman, "It is owned by Rodger Steadman, Carol Nkatha and Waititu".

I congratulate Waititu for seeing his vision through. I give him marks for determination and courage to undertake this project. For most of us this dream would have gone 6 feet under with us when we expire.
BBI will solve it :)

Africa belongs to Africans.

(A friend of mine an engineer(MSc level) is from Loyangilani) It matters NOT where you come from but where you are headed. Also character is important, even if you are in a ntwkable environment but you are a clamp or tank character you can not forge meaningful business- rewarding relationships

Resigned from his high paying job to buid the castle. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

Wow, just seen the castle, complete with a Roman theatre. One would think they were in Europe. Its basically a high end hotel done like a castle. Very unique. Accomodation charges start at 20k a night. Brilliant idea. Ndio hii. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C08hLAUdIvcwww.tripadvisor.com/Hote...ri_Central_Province.html
