Most successful businessmen and women will tell you that real work starts when you have to implement\u00a0<\/strong><strong>those ideas to become a reality. This is where most people give up, but not our cover personality for this issue. Paul Onwuanibe, CEO of Landmark who was Born in the UK to diplomat parents conceived his idea and did not back down from that moment. What\u2019s interesting about his interview is that he agrees that Nigeria is not the only country with many problems, yet all of those did not deter him at the beginning stages, and to date, he is going strong. Armed with his education, experience and some investors, he forged ahead with his dream of creating a live, work, play community that wasn\u2019t just for Nigerians but the world as a whole; The LandmarkVillage. Onwuanibe is also known for his work in the real estate sector, juggling over five hundred clients in five countries, and what\u2019s fascinating is he is not afraid to give credit to his team. This much he did in this interview, \u201dI have a team of incredible people around me that deserve the same if not more praise than I receive. They\u2019re the people that keep the lights on at the end of each day&#8230;\u201d But it\u2019s not only formal work for Paul Onwuanibe. The company also plays their part in community development by fixing roads, mentorship programs, etc. Delve into this awe-inspiring interview, or what you might end up calling the ultimate guide to run a successful tourism and real estate business anywhere in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d5c1d0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d5c1d0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d81983\" data-id=\"1d81983\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af74f5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"af74f5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2937\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dtnow.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4B9A2531-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4896667 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4896667\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-76a80cb\" data-id=\"76a80cb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b08c6a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b08c6a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Tell us briefly about your background.

My real-life journey began when I was sent off to boarding school in Lagos at age 10. While I gained my closest friends there, I also developed a strong passion for drawing, particularly drawing buildings and further honed my skills in UNN while studying architecture. I went back to Europe for further professional studies and gained valid life and business lessons working with Mark Dixon at Regus. These experiences have all led to the results that you see today.

That\u2019s when I decided that the serviced office business would have an important impact in Africa. On a visit however, I noticed that Nigeria had its own set of issues like every other country, such as lack of infrastructure, insecurity, among other things. You can say the greatest threat to our society is thinking someone else will save it. So I embraced the challenge and took a helicopter trip across Lagos and discovered this site where Landmark now provides a premium one-stop destination for all who require such a haven in the midst of the city\u2019s hustle &amp; bustle.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>It\u2019s a community of its own; work, <\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>play, live.

Our goal has always <br \/>been to get people into the ecosystem, to spend as much time having a great time here as they want, and leave with the desire to tell a friend about their <br \/>experience. That is how it\u2019s become the fastest growing business leisure lifestyle destination in Africa.
