Taking Up The Mantle Of Leadership by fflamingo(m): 9:36am On Jan 24, 2013
MTN came to Nigeria at a time
when nobody wanted to invest in
Nigeria, at a time when Nigerians
did not have phones. Even Zenith
Bank refused to loan MTN cash
to operate, UBA rejected MTN’s
offer but today see the
difference.
At least we all know the story of
the only civilian unelected
President in Nigeria - Goodluck
Jonathan. We know how the
people said he was not going to
be President; they even made him
acting-Presiden­t. Today the rest is
history.
What about Cowbell? When they
came to Nigeria, they made milk
in a sachet, Peak was laughing at
them - they said Cowbell was milk
for the poor - but they were
right! 3-million poor people could
afford N10 a day for a sachet of
milk. Oya, do the math - 3million
people buying milk at N10.00-
that was N30million every single
day. In a month they grossed
N900million (almost N1billion).
Even Peak had to make sachet
milk in order to survive in the
market.
So what have people told you?
What have they said you cannot
do, or you do not qualify for,or
you do not have experience for?
They told Cowbell, they told
Goodluck, they told MTN, but
today the story has changed. I have a feeling
something is
changing for you today! They will change their
strategies just to
keep in step with you. Don’t listen
to what people are saying or
what life is showing you… YES,
YOU CAN. Success is not about
where you graduated from, or
what grade you graduated with,
but what graduates out of you.
Keep the spirit UP..
