It was Winston Churchill, a war-time British Prime Minister, that was once asked about the length of a good speech. In a witty reply, he said: “A good speech should be like a woman’s skirt: long enough to cover the subject, and short enough to create interest.”
It is on this premise that I write a short tribute to my late friend, an indefatigable entrepreneur, a prolific columnist and consummate publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah.
Fondly called ‘Sam’ by his intimate friends and associates, the late founder and publisher of Leadership newspapers group was a man endowed with an incredible valour.
