In 2017 when Arrey just launched his business ARREYB Media, he was craving to connect with Cameroonian business guru Bony Dashaco.

Dashaco is estimated to be worth billions and has been repeatedly listed on Forbes for several years in a roll and among Africa’s top 10 most influential young leaders. Arrey recalls how he made more than 4 trips to Dashaco’s office but no permission to cross the gate. He dropped over 8 appointment letters and sent numerous emails but still didn’t get any appointment opportunity.

In 2019 after getting Dashaco’s private email, a carefully crafted email to Dashaco got a response 4 hours later. FINALLY! So this led to their first meeting after all the tough years, and more connection between Dashaco and Arrey. The experience led Arrey and a team of successful entrepreneurs who spent time analysing and understanding such difficulties faced by young African entrepreneurs to begin the AB Afrikpreneur Community. AB Afrikpreneur is an annual experience for entrepreneurs of all walks of life across Africa who want to build solid networks, all commanding from their cell phones!

Firstly, make sure you have one card dedicated to your online transactions. (It should be separate from your main account where you keep the rest of your money) 

People do not necessarily pay for the product, but it matters the presentation and branding around it.

A lot of times you’re going to feel undervalued by your environment when you're in the wrong place  and you may become frustrated because you haven't found the right place that values you the right way.

My mom visited me one time in my tiny student room and because the bed was too small to accommodate we both, I burnt the entire night on the table working from my laptop

6 years ago I made a phone call to my mom that changed my life. Every 10th of April on my birthday, I try and make a personal commitment for the next phase of my life and live up to it no matter the cost

That Sunday night my baby sis ran to me and said she had some BIG NEWS to share👇

The #1 emails and messages I get every time are friends who reach out and share about their plans to quit their jobs, start a business and how they're feeling frustrated with their current work

In 2017, three months after dropping out of the university, I moved to Mutengene to start and pastor a new branch of my local church.

I have heard Steve Harvey share something critical in one of his episodes. He was talking about the years when he started comedy and needed to be the MC, the hype man, the performer and everything else on his shows

It was 5pm that day at a restaurant, the waiter walked in to ask what we wanted to have, me and two other friends…(and something incredible happened on the spot)

Do you remember last year I talked about my Facebook account being shut down at the time when I was actively reporting politics?

I've recently seen too many people proud of how they work 18 hours a day, on weekends and barely getting sleep​They brag that if you’re not doing all that you’re not doing it right

In 2021, I introduced a special tete-a-tete marketing consultation where I charge $349 (xaf 215,000) for two hours👇​At first I was a little scared about launching this session for several reasons​.

Dear , for you and me growing up, a lot of times we watched our parents run into daily financial problems. Some of them ran away from landlords, quarrelled with debtors and struggled with the little they made to feed the family​.
