Did u read the part that he started with 6000 dollar loan?, when ur first bank or uba abi other financial institution cannot give a graduate 200k loan not to talk of a 13 yr old, plz let face it, he had a conducive enviroment hence reason for his achievement we in Nigeria remember |

beejaay: wow $6000 at age 15:-o :-o (it really takes money to make money, money first and every other thing can follow, no question asked) Play the lottery perhaps? Unless that's sarcasm you have no idea what you're saying. |

Very inspiring!!!Issue is that he was very able τ̲̅ȍ obtain a $6000 loan at 15 τ̲̅ȍ start a bizness.When our governors and ministers loot our funds here and take abroad for them τ̲̅ȍ give their young entrepreneurs τ̲̅ȍ start businesses while we stay here on nairaland and jump at 20% Interest non existent loans.our leaders are simply wicked!!how many such young entrepreneurs have u seen out of Nigeria where we have hot brains?God d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ Į̸̸̨ƭ is well! 1 Like |

I admire his talent and luck.i love his passion for humanity.but I want to say that the very successful in most cases erase the big factor that aided that leap to fortune and paint themselves as being from a no where.no ordinary person gets a loan of $6k at 15 , no refugee gets that . Dangote said he was lent 500,000 that was almost $500k, common you can't get s loan of 500$k if you are ordinary . My one cent. |

Selling what you bought N500 for N600 is not bad but it is actually criminal to sell a used good for the price of new while claiming its new. |

ba7man: With all the knowledge Ashish Thakkar shared in his interview i'm quite surprised that some posters above have nothing to say...... See what this guy has acheived at his young age while some people in their late 30's, 40's and above have dedicated their lives to propagating division and hate..... Too late to be like this guy at my age but i'm inspired by his life's example.My brother, at his age he has achieved quite a lot and his agemate is here shamelessly typing first to comment as if there's an award that goes with it.

buoye1: That is where u ll av problem!!!!!!U better wise up,all u wnt is to see a bag filled with money drop beside ur house!!!!!!U must be a learnerIt is obviously criminal to give a false information about a goods to the consumer. It is even more severe in this case selling "used" as "new" which I'm very sure yourself will feel defrauded if you were the victim. You see, because he is now a billionaire doesn't mean we should then accept a bad practice as the norm. Unless you want to start the argument of "the end justifies the means" then I will simply give up. |

seguun: Selling what you bought N500 for N600 is not bad but it is actually criminal to sell a used good for the price of new while claiming its new. Don't forget that he was just a 13 year old adolescent hoping to make a quick buck at the time. I sincerely doubt it was the 100 USD profit that made him who he is today. To me, that transaction was just a practical 'eye-opener' for him and spurred him to venture into the world of business. Don't let that small detail spoil the gist. P.s: Others have done really horrible things and haven't gotten anywhere still. |

caesaraba:Your right, the act was wrong but for his age then, he is pardonable. The lad is a very intelligent person who had an opportunity (the $6000 loan) and was able to turn it into an empire. Thanks for the brilliant comment. |

In as much as i rejoice wit dis dude,i can't help but say d truth. Is not as if we nigerian youths are not making positive impact towards becoming a success in our choosen careers,but the whole problem lies within our poor govt and our dilapidated banking system At age 15 dis dude was able to get a $6000 dollars loan. Am almost 23,which bank in Nigeria will agree to give me a $5000 dollars loan. So you see,if only our bank can rise up to their responsibilities i believe we will all achieve our goals and dreams in life. God Bless Us All 2 Likes |

Excelboi: Ashish, A young dude like u is toping 1st as the youngest billionaire, all u could achieve is a 1st on a thread? SMH There are some certain things that one can't change even if u wish it.
