If there’s anything that you would pick out of our conversation with Mr Idowu, it would be to “cut your cloth according to your size”.
By way of introduction, Mr Idowu is a self-taught vulcanizer who is big on ensuring that he lives within his means. He was motivated by the fact that no one from his family learnt any trade and decided to take up the challenge.
Furthermore, his financial priorities currently are his children and his ongoing construction project which his job as a vulcanizer has helped him fund.
It only took a few minutes in this episode to realize that Mr Idowu is passionate about giving his children the best he can afford, and that influenced his answer to the one-million naira question.
As one who works on cars daily, you would expect that Mr Idowu is a fan of flashy cars and would at least have a dream car, but that may not have been the case in this episode.
In addition, his response to, “What’s your dream car?” still found us circling back to his central theory of cutting your cloth according to your size.
During this introspective conversation, he answered the two golden questions:
- What does money mean to you?
- If you received 1 million naira right now, what would you do with it?
We also asked him a few other questions to get to know his daily routine and what his life is like.
He has built his business to a point where he can afford to not work on Sundays so he can have family time. That looked like growth to me.

Good evening, my question to you please if open an account today in naira his the money will converted to us dollar to running the account
If you are investing in a dollar fund, yes.
Can the funds be traded rather than investing to increase gains?
What if your money is in cash(Dollar)
Please I already have an account, will I have to re-open another account before investing in dollar?
Can I invest in the next eurobond using dollar (cash)? If yes, will my returns be in dollar as well or it will be converted to naira??
Hi Helen, you can invest in Eurobonds at any time. However, we only accept naira deposits at the moment. Also, your returns accrue in dollars.
So which is best to earn the second way or first?
Focusing on returns will be better
Hi, what is the minimum amount you can invest with.
Hi there. You can invest the naira equivalent of $100
Hi Ope, does that mean I’d need two accnts to operate the fund, I.e a naira account to put in the naira funds which is d only 1 u currently accept, then a domicilary account where my returns would accrue in?

Hi Jonathan,
How is the return/interest on your investment from November 27,2020 so far??
No you don’t have to, just click on invest in mutual funds, you will see the options there. You can navigate and alot with your account.
If I invest in the euro bond, it is expected that my return accrues in dollar, right? And how do I withdraw the dollar? Do I need to convert it to naira, if yes, how can I convert my dollar to naira on the app. Lastly, how long do I need to leave my investment on cowrywise? Or can I withdraw anytime?
Am interested. Let’s say I put in a $1,000. What the ROI…within 1 year.
Your interest is 6.6% then calculate it for one year, I think so
