I just came back from Uganda 🇺🇬 a few months ago after being away for more than 30 years. I was born in Uganda and there up to the age 16 years. I was visiting my maternal family in various parts of Uganda. I was blown away by the unlimited business opportunities in Uganda. But there is one ☝️ important point Amos mentioned and that is exposure. I always tell people that exposure is vital for the African youth. You do not necessarily need to travel outside Africa. You can travel within Africa and learn a lot.
@@JustMeVanessa of course. Either to Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 or Uganda 🇺🇬. Vanessa, I’m half Ivorian and half Ugandan but live and work in the USA as a Civil Engineer. There is a lot of business opportunities in both countries particularly Uganda because Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 is very much advanced in terms of infrastructure. As an experienced Civil Engineer, I’m trying to figure out how I can set up business in East Africa particularly in Uganda. Africa is no longer what it used to be. People in Ghana and have businesses in Kenya 🇰🇪 or Tanzania 🇹🇿. I know someone who lives in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 and has businesses in Kenya 🇰🇪 and Dubai. Wish me luck
I'm in the US and this is so inspiring. Wekesa is so humble. I like how he passed the tests of purchasing land instead of expensive cars. All the while, he kept talking to God!
One thing I love about Amos is that he is not selfish. He will give a shout out to any business even those in direct competition with his businesses. A man after God's heart.
So inspiring. ‘I started with knowledge’. Wow. 1. Skills & knowledge: Aquire the skills and knowledge to add value to business. 2. Networks: create value through networks 3. Save and Invest wisely: Your company (friendships) should add value to you. 4. Lifestyle: Keep it simple. Appreciate your videos Wode Maya. Sending love from Australia. Thanks and God bless you and all these great people you feature.
I love what gives him comfort, seeing any of his employees, internal or external working to get something for their families, he is just a free man, you can’t bring people like these down.
If someone asks me why do you watch wodemaya? I would simply say because wodemaya gives me a reason to learn everyday and smile at the same time! Congrats Maya for the hard work.
Mr Amos you made me to hate more and more poverty, the rate I been hating poverty has rised 100 times and am to work and prayhard to never to be lacking a meal of the day
Thank u so much wode Maya. I like that guy, he is too natural and down to earth. He loves God too. He has inspired us , he has marketed our country. Thank u once again for that show piece
Hey, Mr. Maya. Am gladly happy that you came along and paid a visit to my country Uganda and I thank you for the great inspirational content. Am Ezra Katumwa, a great fun of your content and am hoping one day I’ll host you at our fiberglass production firm making mannequins and other products. Just to inspire and influence fellow youths out there somewhere as you do. Thanks for the inspirational content Mr. Maya. Much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 🇺🇬
One of the best if not the best interview I've seen.. So inspiring, the question is what is it that one has or is best at, then go and pursue it full throttle keeping God first🙏
I have listened to both parts of this interview. There is a lot one can learn from this guy but One thing that has stood out for me is that he has a great respect for people he works with! It could be his prime strength of his success!
Very inspiring story Mr. Wekesa. Always looking for stories like these, because the inspired me more and to be more determined to never look back at what I went through as a child growing in extreme poverty in Liberia, west Africa.i almost didn’t go to school. I was 11 years old when I started school but dropped out of school and the next time I sat in class again, I was 20 years old. Finally, entering 12 grade at age 25. With God on my side, I will never let my hands rest. Thanks so much Mr. Wekesa for inspiring me more. And thanks Wode for this interview. There is a God who cares. He will take care.
Yes ,was just waiting for part two And it is so encouraging to have this reassurance that everything is possible, Wodemaya these videos are doing more than you can think
Beautiful soul and mind. God Bless him for what he is doing for the people of Uganda 🇺🇬. Kudos Maya for these wonderful series from Uganda. Africans can learn a lot from these entrepreneurs.
What a Most Powerful Business man. JUST LOVE HIS humbleness nd Mind Set, We Need More Men like this Budiness Man. I m priveledged to watch this vlogg. X Maya
Thank you wode Maya for showing the world what the media don't show about africa for them africa is misfortune and war allover but what you're doing showing the beauty of africa and the hardworking Africans are doing for the continent is just mind blowing ❤🎉❤🎉
The biggest enemy of a Ugandan investor are the Ugandans who hold power, instead of sulporting they want then to fail. Kudos Wekesa for breaking barriers.
I knew he would say mindset, said it the same time he said it. Thank you Wode Maya for this series you are doing in Uganda. It is revealing and Africans can instead of travelling to Europe or Asia come and see what Uganda and other African countries have to offer. In terms of tourism and lifestyle. Australia because of the different ecosystems available are able to properly exploit it. By as the resort owner said offering tours how to harvest/use the ecu… tree and charge $100.
Amos Wekesa is absolutely amazing! A true entrepreneur, and he has excelled because he has a knack for what he does and a heart for his people. Keep soaring brother.
Wow what can I say@wadamaya your still the best inspire by bringing local entrepreneurs changing stories, am blessed as Ugandan and this examples are sure source to help some of us get going. I must say you have come to African youth and Uganda at such the right time. Thank you a million for your inspiration 🙏 ✨️ 🙌 ❤️ 💛
Change of mindset is so important..saving is so good to grow the business, having contacts and good customer service is important and having the skills and knowledge about the services you provide...Mr Amos wekesa, thanks for being so inspirational 🙏look forward to meeting you in person ,one day....God bless your works
Hey Amos, you have been of great inspiration to me all these years and am glad you continue to inspire many more young Ugandan entrepreneurs. Before quitting my job, you gave me great advice and am riding on it on my journey in self employment. In a few years' time, am sure my brands will also be of great inspiration to more Ugandans. Thank you.
Well done wode you’re just the best ! I like how you ask questions and you let them talk without you cutting them or talking over them and you’re not scared to ask questions! Thank you for showing us these brilliant African business men and women ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤God tremendously bless you and your family ❤❤❤
Well done Amos. The grounds of the park are kept well and love the natural look of the lodges. True we have everything but we are poor. How is that possible!!
I think Amos deserves a special national recognition for paying his employees throughout the 2/3 years of COVID pandemic lockdown. That took a special human heart ❤ (against all business sense) to do 😊

I live on a little island in the Caribbean and agriculture and food processing in one of our big trading point..So imagine if we had the land mass like what it has on the continent..we have a huge processing industry..From carbon to food to garments..to natural gas.. Come on Africa..Get up..
A day of a hungry man should be a day of inspiration for him 1. Skills & knowledge: Aquire the skills and knowledge to add value to the business. 2. Networks: create value through networks 3. Save and Invest wisely: Your company (friendships) should add value to you. 4. Lifestyle: Keep it simple. THANKS MAYA
I have seen Amos for many years though he doesn't know me,I had a friend working for him and I used to go to his office nsambya estate then at kabalagala near American embassy,so Amos is telling areal true story about himself and business.
Great story so moved and inspired by how much success you have accomplished in Uganda over the years. I have watched your growth for some time now especially in the tourism sector and am moved by how much greatness you have achieved for not only your personal gain but for the whole nation at large.
If you didn't believe it before, now you must realize that there is something/Someone greater than yourself - Someone who is paving the path through life for each of us. When we change our mindsets - from negative to positive - we position ourselves to help transform the world! 🌍 Blessings to your wonderful guest and to you, for making our days brighter, more hopeful and purposeful, Brother Wode Maya. ☀️ 🌞
GOD, Skills, Network’s quality, Save & Invest wisely, humble Lifestyle, Mindset, resilience & determination…This is worth a masterclass! I took notes that will greatly help me in my entrepreneurial journey! THANK YOU Amos & Wode🙏
Thank you Amos for your positive vibe about my country Uganda,you give me a lot of hope of knowing that we've just scratched the surface of our potential as a country.
"Your responsibility is different when you're the one breaking the chain of poverty in your family ' Man that hits differently bro
You said it all
It so true. Everything about you changed. I am a living proof.
Someone has to stand out and with lot of sacrifices.
This has hit me hard
Am in Kenya but these Uganda people and Zimbabwe people are really inspiring
Trust me, there are also Kenyan investors who have transformed our minds (Ugandans).
