A VERY WARM
WELCOME “I WASN’T MOVING BACK. I WAS MOVING FORWARDS”
Homecomer - South Africa
They say that “You can emigrate, but your soul never does.” They say, “Why build someone else’s economy, when you could be building your own?”. They say, “Don’t wait until it gets better, come home and make it better.” Every generation believes that they will be the one to change Africa, but our generation lives in a unique age of quick global communication and unprecedented economic growth. This means that we are on the brink of a massive wave of African skills repatriation. It’s a privilege to welcome so many top companies and talented professionals to our first-ever Talent Speed-Dating event. Deepest gratitude to our bronze sponsor KMPG Africa. The African continent is now alive with possibility, and there’s never been a better time to return to your homeland. I wish you all a wonderful event of networking, career-climbing, fact-finding, idea-sparking and homecoming. Don't just move back, move forwards!
Angel Jones Founder & CEO Homecoming Revolution
SPEED-DATING TIPS Keep an open mind. Remember this is a two-way conversation. Respect the timer. Trust your gut and let it flow. Questions Companies could ask: What are you most proud of in your career? What's your biggest mistake and what did you learn from it? What excites you about working with us? How soon would you be prepared to move home?
Questions Professionals could ask: (Remember you’ll have heard a lot about each company in the employer breakfast presentations – so jot down questions as you go) What is the process around making a hiring decision? What is the single best thing about working for your company?
Some FUN things to break the ice for all parties to answer: If you were an African animal – what would you be? What’s the most unusual job you’ve ever done? What book/music are you currently reading/listening to?
REASONS TO RETURN TO KENYA • • • • • •
Watching the sunset with the familiar taste of a Tusker Lager and nyama choma Being part of the technology leapfrog as you jump over the digital divide Shouting yourself hoarse for the Kenya Sevens Chilling with your mates with music and blankets and wine and festivals Welcoming your soul home as your shouts echo within the Ngong Hill Waking up each morning with the realization that you are a Kenyan, in Kenya, for Kenya
A few words from some recent Kenyan homecomers: “I was in Dubai for 10 years and I came back to do development in Kenya. And today, with my partners, we own the second largest mobile money transfer company in the country” – Oscar Ikunu “Pack up and come home, the opportunities are here” – Chehar Shah “I returned from Canada. There are more opportunities back here in terms of professional life, in terms of family network, in terms of quality of life – coming home completely surpassed my expectations” – Angie Gachui
HOMECOMING REVOLUTION IS PROUDLY ASSOCIATED WITH AFRICA 2.0
www.africa2point0.org
“When you come home to Kenya, it’s so much a ground-floor opportunity, that almost anything you do, and apply yourself enough, could have a transformational impact” – Andrew Mwavua “We must change Africa in this generation, it’s our responsibility, no excuses” – Teddy Warria “You don’t want to miss Africa in this moment in time, this is a ten year space when things are absolutely going to lift off. And one of the things I thought to myself is the last things I want my children to say to me, ‘Dad, where were you when this was all happening. Why were you sitting in London, when things were just lifting off in Africa?’ And that’s the question that I was scared that my kids would ask me, and I’m not wrong, this is the time to be here. This is Kenya’s moment in a way which is really exciting” – Aly-Khan Satchu

REASONS TO RETURN TO NIGERIA • • • • • • • •
The welcoming smiles and friendly loud voices You’re no longer OYO Hausa salad, pounded yam and egusi soup Nobody throws a party better than a Nigerian (and nobody complains about the loud music!) Being amongst brothers and sisters who have that positive attitude of always believing the future is getting better The chaos, the madness, the colour, the humanity Our music is infectious and our films are addictive Living a life of success and significance in Africa’s biggest economy
A few words from some recent Nigerian homecomers: “The best thing about being back was no longer feeling like the odd one out. Plus mum and my family were so glad to have me back that I was a princess for those first few months” – Mobola Onibonoje “I think eventually everyone needs to come back home, I think you have to make up your mind carefully, the time has to be right for you” – Kaliko Olowole “Nigeria has so many amazing things, the culture, there are so many amazing things to see, places to visit, the shrine, it’s really good. The music is amazing – the dance aspect they way they dance is amazing, and of course, the food!” – Nekka Ezinwa “Being back home is best for our young kids. The early foundation years have to be spent in a place where the kids can actually get very grounded, because that will be the secret of their success later in life when they know where they’re from.” – Chukuka Chukuma “People will complain about the power and the traffic and I’ve also lived in several places in Europe where there’s problems of traffic and it’s hard getting around. But of course those things are a reality, they are tough, they are uncomfortable, but if the goal is big enough, the facts don’t count.” – Tunde Ogunrinde

REASONS TO RETURN TO UGANDA • • • • • • • •
The incredible freshness of the air The beautiful weather of rain and sunshine together Being able to get anywhere fast on a boda boda Being amongst the best movers in the universe on a Ugandan dancefloor The fresh, sweet fruit - everything you buy is organic! Being greeted everywhere with a warm look of sincerity The unbeatable taste of a Rollex after midnight in Kabalagala on the way home from a bar Uganda’s growth figures are looking better than ever
A few words from some recent Ugandan homecomers: “There are so many plans and aspirations that I still have for the future that I dont think I would have thought of if I was not back home!’ – RJ Jabo “What did I love best about being home? The smell of the fresh crisp air. And the fact that it rains heavily at 8am and by 10am you are sitting down basking in the sun. I felt I had a lot to offer both to my country and to myself to get the satisfaction that I can give back. You know what? Home is home!” – Stella Ddumba “I returned home after 5 years in the States to become the Country Manager of Google. If you want to be part of the change that people in the diaspora hope for and dream about, then you have to be on the continent” – Ham Namakajjo “The feeling that you want to come home is more important than ensuring that you have a job, or that you have a house. Doing some research reinforces that feeling, then you make up your mind. But you’ll never answer all the questions. Trust your heart.” – Daudi Ndiwalana “A lot of the time success back in Uganda is built on relationships, so you have to be a very effective networker. You have to be very good at establishing a rapport with people” – Agaba Tumusiime “I’m not going to sit here and tell you that you should do A, B, C.. Instead you need to come back here first, and then start to build your network. You’re never going to establish yourself as a Ugandan while you’re sitting in Washington” – Christopher Kanabi Mulinde

REASONS TO RETURN TO GHANA • • • • • • • •
Fufu with steaming groundnut soup Feeling at home again with the warmest, most hospitable people on earth Being surrounded by a vibrant fashion industry that’s exploding on the scene A clean slate that’s alive with possibility Discovering new hotels, restaurants and coffee shops that compete on a global scale New shopping malls and skyscrapers are being born every minute You spy a coconut, you pick a coconut, the seller splits the coconut and you drink the water out of it, right there and then on the roadside. No preservatives, no plastic bottles, just coconut Drumming and dancing and festivals and fine jewellery
A few words from some recent Ghanaian homecomers: “If there’s one thing I really love now about being African, it’s being able to go into Nigeria, going into Ethiopia, and feeling a kindred spirit. The ground has been laid a bit further ahead for Ghanaians returning home, and there will be a community of people who have been there, done that, who will help you adjust” – Kofi Dadzie “I lived in London for 27 years, and when I told people that I was returning home, they couldn’t believe it, “You’re really going?” I said, “YES”. I got on a plane... got back home, and I’ve not looked back since” – Olivia Asiedu Ntow “The more we have these stories that we share, the better a picture we’re able to tell. Each shade is a bit different, and hearing these personal journeys, everybody’s personal story adds on to the colour that makes coming home worthwhile” – Emmanuel Gamor “It’s great to be back home in Ghana, and right now we’re looking at a combination of solar, micro hydro and wind” - Tettey Wilson Tei “Stepping off the plane, and having the heart just wrap around me, and the smell, and it felt like the biggest hug” – Elvina Quaison “Being back at home now means we have a nanny. Baby can wake up and I can give her to the nanny so I can get some more sleep. Those luxuries...” – Nafisha Mohammed
