Edward Mbugua 'Eddie'

The Aprentice Africa that is showing on Silverbird Television is in the 9th Week.
Yesterday episode of this business reality show was wonderful, insightful, dramatic and really emotional.
Team Matrix had four apprentices as against Team Zulu with six apprentices. Despite the number, Matrix Corp members showed great determination and worked with everything in them to win the task of the day which was increase revenue in a particular location and present sale strategy for CELTEL new product called JEMBI.
Ngugi Edward Mbugua popularly called Eddie by his fellow Apprentices, was the Team Leader for this particular task. He planned the execution of the task on the Product, Location and Price. He being a natural motivator maybe because he read psychology in the University was on hand to encourage his teammates and also make their customers to feel at ease in their assigned centre. He did not only recognised the talent in his teammate but assigned them responsibilities that proved to them that he believed in that talent and in their ability to perform. He has so far shows he is a professional sales person and a leader who motivates and rewards with encouraging words.
Unfortunately, Eddie's team lost due to over estimation of the profit by year 2011. This particular assignment was handled by Nancy Linda Kalembe, the woman with nine life like a cat. Nancy ran the financials by the team but no one took notice of that misleading information. During presentation to CELTEL Nigeria officials that was discovered and it cost them that task. Eddie in nominating those to accompany him to the Boardroom for the normal firing scene, excluded Nancy after humorously calling her a boardroom veteran. The other Apprentices would have not been matured enough to give her a break but he did. That really showed his maturity and acceptance of whatever mistake as a leader.
Nancy the woman who had escaped the firing 'squad' since the second week when she was the Team Leader was on her knees praying and reading the bible for a real escape because this time, she would have been fired. The Bible says men shall be given for us and that is real in Nancy's case in The Apprentice Africa.
In his farewell speech in the Boardroom, Eddie eulogised the intelligence of the ladies in Matrix and told Mr. Shobanjo to watch it that the Ultimate Apprentice would be someone from The Matrix Corp. Blessing could not contain her emotion as she started crying and so was I. Eddie is an orator. His speech moved me.
It was unfair to allow four compete against six.
