In this episode, I was beyond honoured to seat down with Mr. Collins Nweke a Belgian politician, author, and international trade consultant of Nigerian origin. He is Based in Brussels and made history in 2006 as the first non-Belgian born politician elected to political office in West Flanders, subsequently serving three terms as an Ostend City Councillor.

He was kind enough to share the strategies and the brilliant work that went into the journey of becoming the first non-Belgian born politician elected to political office in West Flanders.

Ladies and gentlemen please watch the full episode to learn about the man who is very passionate about the affairs of Nigerians in diaspora and the work he is doing in Nigeria.

He is also a mentor and quite happy to invite people to the table and does not gate-keep his success story.

Mr Nweke is the author of Economic Diplomacy of the Diaspora, exploring trade policies and global diaspora integration, recently published. Please go get a copy of the book as we all know that knowledge is power!!
