The Ify Autos boss took that spirit to Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo State, and also later bagged her masters inner International Relationals and Diplomacy at the same institution, where she engaged in trading as an undergraduate.

“My mother, as a civil servant,vwas very industrious and I was very helpful as a child in the series of business ventures she embarked on at that time and that didn’t stop because even in my university days, I combined study with business as an undergraduate and didn’t depend heavily hon my parents. I love entrepreneurship. I will always be an entrepreneur regardless of where I find myself in society”, the Ify Autos CEO said in an interview.

Speaking further on how she began, Anie Amalonye hinted that it was not always smooth at the onset, however, she developed a tough skin and never gave up.

“Failure is normal. Never take anything personally. Celebrate every success no matter how small. Develop anti fragility and Maximize passion”, she stated.

On her vision for the company, the Ify Autos CEO noted that, “Ify Autos will outlive every individual. It has come to stay even when I am no more ify Autos will still exist just like Mercedes, adding that the vision is “to get Ify Autos to the stage of manufacturing automobiles in Nigeria for Nigerians and West Africa at large.”

Aside being a sharp-witted entrepreneur, the Ify Autos founder is also a philanthropist. She has been a beacon of hope to widows, orphans and the less privileged, and she hopes to scale up her hands of fellowship to the needy.

“I have always been actively involved in supporting widows,orphans ,less privileged in the society even before the inception of ifyautos and I have continued in that light and hope to Increase the quota as ifyautos expands because I believe is my social responsibility in giving back to the society,” the hard working Ify Autos owner stated.
