We also catalogue his achievements and contributions, in his personal and business life, as well as at the community, state, and national levels of developments. As most readers of this article must have heard before, Ifeanyi Ubah was a man of humble beginning, morally well raised up as the son of a principled and disciplinary teacher, that grew up to solemnize a happy marriage blessed with five (5) children, and, who, single-handedly, within the last eight (8) years started his corporate business life, and expanded it to a successful conglomerate of business empire, that is today called ‘Capital Oil and Gas Industries’-which is the largest private business setup in the Oil and Gas sector of the Nigerian economy. A visionary leader This enviable record of international business success has bestowed on him a proven track record in visionary personal and corporate business management, as well as the exhibition of great leadership qualities in his contributions to the socio-economic, religious, community and traditional matters of this great Nigerian nation. Ifeanyi Ubah’s manifesto is a visualization of the future of anambra state. In character, Ifeanyi Ubah has the natural instinct for the management and control of men, in private and corporate business, which shows that the powers of organization and leadership are at his fingertips. As a man with so much self-control, he will make his natural leadership qualities to bear on the good governance of Anambra State. With or without the backing incentives of Federal allocation in the governance of a state, Ifeanyi Ubah, who has already visualized the socio- economic potentials of Anambra State, is expected to exhibit his rational instinctive courage of a foresighted achiever-which is evident in the successes of his business ventures-to make faultless decisions in the execution of his ‘Action Plans’-that documentary roadmap in his Manifesto-which he envisages to use and take Anambra State to the glorious future. A community hero In recognition of these excellent achievements, people of his community, in Otolo, Nnewi, Anambra State of Nigeria, have come to see him in their mirror as a “god”, whose selflessness contributions to their well-being is awesome; and with whom they are always at peace; and for whom they give their true love, loyalty, and brotherliness; by thronging to his village home to celebrate all notable socio-political, religious and traditional occasions with him, in his home- mini-stadium that can comfortably accommodate thousands of local residents of elders, brothers, sisters, and resident visitors to the town of Nnewi. This rare community loyalty and followership which Ifeanyi Ubah enjoys as a spontaneous response of his enthusiastic people is effectuated by his selfless interest in the well- being of others, which he has been demonstrating in large-scale philanthropic services, sponsorship of traditional activities that are aimed at the preservation of the community’s cultural heritage, and the stupendous offer of financial assistance to local and state governments in Anambra, for the construction of critical infrastructure and provision of amenities in health, sporting, religious, traditional, social and political environments. Philanthropy And talking more about this his landscape of philanthropic services, Ifeanyi Ubah has been marked out as the most prominent man of Catholic Church decent, who voluntarily assists Catholic and Anglican churches in the construction and furnishing, or reconstruction and refurbishing, of cathedrals in Anambra State (more information on his philanthropy to religious bodies will be found below in this article). Business integrity Let us divert a little, and take a short look at his business life. Ifeanyi Ubah initiated, created the concept and “mental image” of his corporate business; built it into an establishment, and managed its astronomical growth into a gigantic conglomerate, called ‘Capital Oil and Gas Industries’.

These values of his good upbringing were fundamental to his excellent practices and success in business relationships; as old as eight (8) years ago, when he had not even contemplated the idea of political practice cropping-up later in his life. Ifeanyi ubah, would not; and cannot, after all these years of brilliant business performance, achievements and accumulation of stupendous wealth from private business ventures- that were all never connected with the awards or executions of government contracts sponsored with public money-allow his business conducts to degenerate into any fraudulent practices. His global business was already ringing its success bell, and needed no stupid fraudulent practices for more enrichment. He is a man that is very thankful to God for ‘His’ everyday blessings to him as his heavenly ‘father’, and, therefore, so satisfied with the attainment of the ‘Golan height’ of his global business, that he needs no unclean business connections to ill-gotten wealth. Why Ifeanyi Ubah is the best choice Ifeanyi Ubah is a successful global business mogul, who is selfless in his relationships with people, local communities, institutions and governments. He is seen as an epitome of true philanthropy; a visionary leader of men and great manager of private, national and global business concerns.
