Ugonna Onyike is a strategic marketer, project manager, and business innovator known for pioneering the Farm Banking investment model and successfully leading high-impact real estate and agricultural ventures.
From Reading, England to Ogbe, Ahiazu Mbaise—A Story of Legacy & Innovation
Born on the 13th of April, 1992, in the historic town of Reading, England, a city steeped in medieval heritage and intellectual prowess, Ugonna Onyike was destined for greatness. Reading—home to one of England’s oldest abbeys and a hub of literary giants—was the perfect birthplace for a mind that would later craft groundbreaking business models and redefine industries.
Yet, his roots run deep in Ogbe, Ahiazu Mbaise, a land famed for its resilient people, rich cultural heritage, and boundless entrepreneurial spirit. Mbaise is known as the “Heart of Igbo Ingenuity,” a place where ambition meets tradition, and legends are forged in the fire of hard work and innovation. This duality—British precision and Igbo tenacity—shaped Ugonna into a force of nature: a strategist, a builder, and a visionary.
Building Businesses Without Borders
My expertise spans real estate, fintech, business development, decentralized finance (DeFi), branding, and marketing, allowing me to see opportunities where others see obstacles. Whether it’s:
✔ Structuring presale models to fund projects before execution
✔ Leading marketing strategies that generate revenue without massive ad spend
✔ Leveraging partnerships to scale efficiently
✔ Crafting compelling narratives that drive sales and investor confidence
I approach business with an entrepreneurial mindset, ensuring that every project is built to thrive, not just survive.
At Landlord Realty, I pioneered Farm Banking, a first-of-its-kind real estate investment model that offers both land ownership and passive income. I structured a 60% presale financing model, which fully funded a 25-hectare palm farm acquisition, marketing, and operations—before planting even began. The result? A complete sellout of 50 plots in just 8 weeks, proving that the right strategy can turn an ambitious vision into a market-demanded product.
With Avvic Limited, I launched a new business arm from scratch, crafting its operational structure, market entry strategy, and sales approach. I led a high-performing team, introduced SaaS solutions, and facilitated B2B partnerships—all while keeping costs lean and efficiency high.
In my work at Clusttr.io, I took on brand management and product design, ensuring seamless alignment between market needs and visual storytelling. I’ve also played pivotal roles in BBNToken and Boonplace, where I applied my expertise in market penetration strategies, branding, and financial risk management to shape business growth.
Marketing is more than just selling—it’s about making people believe in a vision. I’ve led high-stakes marketing campaigns, organized business dinners, and developed digital strategies that turn ideas into movements. My ability to create compelling narratives has helped businesses secure investors, attract customers, and transform passive audiences into engaged stakeholders.
From launching social media campaigns to training teams on sales psychology, negotiation, and branding, I understand the power of effective communication in driving success. My skills in content creation, strategic messaging, and audience engagement ensure that every campaign I lead delivers measurable impact.
Leadership, Strategy & Execution
I thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where adaptability, problem-solving, and decisive action are key. Whether leading real estate negotiations, overseeing property developments, managing decentralized finance projects, or mentoring teams, I bring a methodical, results-driven approach that ensures success.
✔ Project Management: From concept to execution, I ensure smooth operations and on-time, on-budget delivery.
✔ Sales & Business Development: I create and implement high-conversion sales strategies tailored to unique markets.
✔ Negotiation & Conflict Resolution: I have successfully brokered multimillion-naira land deals, mediated stakeholder disputes, and built lasting partnerships.
✔ Innovation & Process Optimization: I streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies, and maximize profitability through structured systems.
✔ Financial & Market Analysis: I assess risks, forecast growth, and develop scalable business models.
Yes, I build businesses. Yes, I negotiate high-value deals. Yes, I craft marketing strategies that drive exponential growth. But beyond all that, I am a builder of people, relationships, and ideas.
I believe in legacy, impact, and innovation—not just in making money, but in creating systems that outlive me. I see challenges as opportunities, and I thrive on turning constraints into catalysts for greatness.
As someone who has bootstrapped multiple ventures, led cross-functional teams, and redefined real estate investment models, I understand the grit, strategy, and perseverance it takes to turn bold ideas into sustainable realities.
I am a connector, a mentor, a problem-solver, and a relentless innovator. Whether it’s in business, real estate, fintech, or branding, my mission remains the same: to transform industries, empower people, and build a legacy that lasts. I don’t wait for the perfect conditions to build something great—I create the conditions for success.
