 No, let me understand why you decided to build this billion dollar project in here. Does it worth a billion dollar a billion? It's not the other billion dollars but it's a nice house. It's a nice house and you see we've always watched this in movies and you see Hollywood so it's a possibility what they've done there we can equally do here. Instead of going out there chasing our dreams why don't we fight towards implementing our dreams in Africa? You're trying to tell the young African that it's possible. Yeah, we can do what we want, what we dream in Africa. We don't have to live Africa to live like this. I have seen so many personal houses across Africa but I've never seen a house that sits on 11 acres of land. And one unique thing about this house is the lake view and you know why? Yeah, water is life. And during his leisure time he got his own jetkeys and boats that he cruises on Lake Victoria. Good morning man! I don't have neighbors man. I hope the ancestors don't respond. But something I don't understand that after independence we still call lakes in Africa called Victoria. But you know what is going through my mind? I wish I can live in a big house like this. I wish I can be like him but what is the way forward? Is it working hard or working smart? I would phrase it in a simpler term of business or deal because this is what Africans understand. I wouldn't advise anyone to look for deals. I would advise anyone to work hard to do businesses because deals are temporary short term and fast. But businesses are slow but becoming rich is all about a constant productive chain. If someone can be productive that's what amounts to wealth. Wealth is gradual and it's not done overnight. Anyone can get money but not everyone can get wealth. Wealth cannot be inherited. Wealth cannot be grabbed in a deal. Money in a deal is as good as large sums of money for expenditure by an expensive car show off. But if you're looking for your substance in terms of wealth you have to take one step at a time. You have to identify something that is productive that can pull you from one level to another. If you are to build an empire it is one step at a time. So for me I don't believe in deals. I don't believe in working smart. I believe in working under perimeters of reason and reality. That's why I wrote a book, Success and Failure based on reason and reality. I have like eight cars but you can drive one car at a time but why? A car is like bills. Ya. You spend on it. It has no return on investment. So if it's a liability why did you do it? It is a means of transport. But the cost of the car, a cheap car would equally take you to where you're going. Not as fast as but to get that job done. The reality is a house you stay in is more a liability than an asset because it has no return on investment. So if you had an option of first looking for a business or buying a house, I would advise that you first go for the business. The business can give you the house but the house can't give you the business. But I love the fact that you planted a lot of trees around you. It's like you're living in nature. Ya, I really love nature. You have water and greens combined together. Ya. That's beautiful. You can only live in such a big house where you already have productive businesses moving. Doesn't make business sense from my list perspective. First put up houses without businesses because this is a liability. So at what point did you build this house? Actually I've lived here for the last 10 years. So that means I built this house when I was 29, 28, 29. That's when I built this house. At what age did you start your first business? At around 20 to 23. I love the designs. So beautiful. I think you're a big fan of whites. Ya, I'm a fan of white and black. Just like me. How do you have two clothes? White and black. Ya, I wear white and black, I design white and black. These are my colors. White and black and shades of gold. Where is this? I want you to take me around. Definitely this is a modern contemporary home like you can see. I have a few sitting rooms around five sitting rooms. But this is the main sitting room. Then I have another smaller sitting room here where you can come and if you're just a few people like two or three, you can sit here. Then I've got the dining on the other side, 20-seater dining. Then the other side I've got the kitchen. And games area there, pool tables, table tennis. I really love table tennis. Then I've got another executive sitting room on the other side. I've got a gym way up there, cinema, sauna, steam. A few bedrooms this side. How many rooms? Actually it doesn't have a lot of rooms. It's all about you know, beauty and convenience. The rooms are like inside just like six rooms. Then I've got definitely boys' quarters that take up like they can take up to 20 guests, the quarters. And definitely that entire wing is my personal bedroom. That entire wing is my personal bedroom, my personal space. That's a plot. It looks like a plot of land. What's the size of your bedroom? It's huge. What's the size? It's big and I've been taking time to measure size but I just made it in accordance with what I feel is enough space for me. I believe in the kitchen alone is a one plot of land. See, the size is 50 by 100. Do you sometimes eat here? Yes, sometimes. Sometimes I eat here like on Sundays. On Sundays? I get here cook. Or if I enter. Yeah, maybe if I enter. I've never seen my fridge this full since I was born. Look at that. Cheese. Look at that. Okay, can I stay here? Because I want to look extra fat. Cheese. I've never seen anything like this before. Sauna in his own house. Never. Never. Never. This is my whole family. That's me. Oh my goodness. How do you feel when you are here? That's a gym man. So it's like you have everything in the house. You don't need to step out. What I'm looking for is now a mini mat. A shopping mall in the house. These are some of the bedrooms. So why you have many bedrooms when no one stays in? And those bedrooms have an opening. They will have an opening to the lake. There's no neighbor. No one is responding to me. Oh wow. Nice. I love the fact that every room got the view of the lake. That's beautiful man. I think buying a land here would be very expensive because of this house. Yeah it is. It is expensive. Is it because of this house or? Yeah the very has now gone up that I've made the road. I've done a good house here. I want to be your neighbor because when I said good morning my neighbor no one responded. Because I'm the last person by the lake this time. How much would the land cost in here? A plot. A plot? Yeah. Or a nika. Okay a nika. A nika of land. Currently now it can go for around $300,000. $250,000 to $300,000. Okay so you multiply that by 11 acres. And one house in 11 acres. Actually when you show them the other bedrooms they may think that's my bed. That's what I'm saying. Dude come with me. Let me surprise them. Just come. Let me surprise them. So this is a mini office for your bedroom? Yeah this is the reception. So if I come I need to sit here first. How we go to the bedroom? I really want to check it out. Wow. This is more like a palace within a palace. This is your bedroom? Yeah this is my bedroom. You live here alone? Yeah I stay alone. So this side we have the bathroom. Equally soap contained. And you can sit as it on sauna and steam bath. You have a sauna store in the bedroom? Yeah we have sauna and steam bath and you know. You know. Which of the jakuzes are your favorite? There are all the jakuzes. So whichever you use it serves the purpose. But you can see. I love space. I love space. I love a lot of space. And how many beds? You got two? Yeah we've got two beds. Is it different texture or something? Yeah one is soft one is hard. That Chinese recommend for someone to sleep on a hard bed. But when you want comfort you sleep on the soft bed. But how do you monitor what's happening in the house? I've got surveillance cameras there. Inside I've got the surveillance cameras. This side I have my closet. Like you said you only wear white. I can see only white. Yeah my person of white and black you see. And you have the whole view of the lake too? Yeah from this side. That is so cool. Yeah you walk right outside the lake and you can see everything. Do you have a rooftop? We have a rooftop where we have an helipad. An helipad can land on. Since I'm moving into a group processing and value addition I need a helipad to train. I know people out there can only see your success. But you need to let me know what has taken you to be where you are today? I think I would summarize it to simple reason the ability to attituate the previli circumstances around me and forge corresponding solutions to such challenges. At the same time being patient, consistent and persistent with what I really want to achieve in life. Do you think I despond just successful? I think a person under premitters of reason and success is not you can't assume about self declaration that I think now I'm a successful person. I think it's poor judge whether success is successful or not. But as a man who fears God, Alhamdulillah, I think I've been blessed by God. I can afford to survive. I can afford a meal. I live in a good home. Alhamdulillah. I've been blessed by God. I'm proud of 4,000 people. How does that make you feel? I'm proud of the fact that I employ quite a number of people and most especially Ugandans and Africans. It is something to be proud of. If someone can have a meal because of your ability to strive and struggle and make sure he gets food in his stomach and their families. What can the youth of Africa learn from you? The youth of Africa. My guiding factor still comes back to reason. If people can not limit themselves to mere thinking and personal desires and emotions because emotions defeat reason but rather to have that ability to attituately analyze what is before you for what it is. Not what you want it to be. You look at substance. You look at what is before you for what it is. You look at substance rather than formation you take something for what it is then you are in a better position try to address it for what it really is. Not what you want it to be. So maybe that is a general problem from an African perspective because now look we have a lot of natural resources in Africa but why is it that we have in reason doubt on how to export these resources towards and collective prosperity as a continent it all comes back down to reason. I'm sorry before I let you go You used to be a trader now you are into real estate why real estate in first place? No like I told you I move within perimeters of reason I don't make a choice of the business I invest in the previous comes as a determinate factor the wave of productivity is what grows me in a direction I take so independently my flow is determined by prevailing circumstances I always adjust in akodes I have no shape if what I need to do is squared I move in a square if it is a circle I'll adjust and move in a circle I'm a person who adjusts and adopts to the prevailing circumstances and basically that is the reason before you moved here there was no road because I saw the road leading to your house is in your name I decided to make a road there the road was there but it was not well done like it is now so I decided to upgrade it How many kilometers? 2.2 kilometers You regret building a big house like this? No I don't regret because I've worked so hard to make sure I can afford it Yes I may have a big house but if I have substantial investment it will give me a lot of income per month so I can maintain I can successfully live in this house but it comes at the cost of my ability to be productive enough to sustain it so it is not about owning a big house it is also about the ability to actually sustain it
