The South Eastern Nigeria is the region where you will find the highest number of self-made billionaires ( Not money stolen from Nigeria)
The Igbos have the highest number of millionaires in Nigeria. The poverty rate in Igbo land is very low when compared to other regions.
I don’t want to exaggerate, there is no Igbo family where you will not find a millionaire, thanks to the business acumen that characterizes a typical Igbo man.
The moneybags you saw at Obi Cubana’s mother’s burial turned carnival are top importers and exporters. Many of them are captains of industry. About 60% of them have sole distributorship of products needed in Nigeria and Africa. They represent big foreign companies in Nigeria.
If you are thinking that they are ritualist, occultic men, Yahoo Yahoo guys or they are into money laundering, you be MUMU. You need to emancipate yourself from the misconception you have about them.
Google the likes of E-Money, Obi Cubana, Mmerigwo Henry Iyke, Jowi Zaza, Valentine Ozigbo, Chico, Port Harcourt Instigator, etc, you will know that these guys knows what real business entails.
Let me shock you, one of them (name withheld) who is among those that raised N257m to support the burial is the sole distributor of a pharmaceutical drug in Nigeria that sells like pure water. The drug is the most effective drug for a particular disease (name withheld)
The young man makes N1000 from the N3,500 which is the selling price of the drug and the total sales of the drug per year is in millions. Invariably, he is making billions of naira every year and you are there on social media accusing him of being a ritualist.
You cannot get to this level with your salary. STOP WORKING and go into entrepreneurship and network with those who will show you the way.
There are several niches/markets that are yet to be tapped. Nigeria as an emerging economy has the largest market in Africa. There is nothing that you will import that will not be sold.
In 2013, Mark Essien from Akwa Ibom returned to Nigeria from Berlin Germany where he was studying and doing a part-time job. The young man founded Hotels.ng where all the hotels in Nigeria are listed. Whenever you book a room in a hotel he gets his commission. In 2015, the owner of eBay, Pierre Omidyar invested $1.2m into Hotels.ng
Mark Essien made the right decision and the decision has placed him in the League of Africa’s youngest millionaires.
Poverty is vanity because it is vain for you to leave a life without meaning
May God direct our path
