You will agree with me that its not easy to breakthrough in business especially when you are from

this part of the world where there is little or no assistance from the government and the private sectors.

More daunting is the fact that you are just fresh school leaver with practically no experience in the business world, these odds alone is enough to make you quit and join the long numbers of those looking for paid employment.

However, these young Nigerians defile all odds to see their dreams come to reality by not giving up and at the end of the day they are glad they didnt allow the circumstances around them kill their dreams.

We have put this list together to get you to see the possibility around you because there is no other inspiration that can make a man keep pushing than when you see folks who found themselves in the same or even worse circumstances than yours excel in what they have set their mind to do.

Kindly take your time to go through this list and i believe you will draw the necessary inspiration and motivation you need to forge ahead……..MAY WE ALL SUCCEED

Without capital backing you need God and extra hard work but you must make it. Nothing will stop the progress of a persistent hard worker.

Looking at the Op's list, it was dominated by the southerners! And these makes me to wonder, if we the southerners are the one holding the economy, why are we still been ruled by those Northerners (Almajiris) ?! We the south we tend to fool and fight our selves(mostly Igbos vs Yorubas) while those low life northerners watch and smile at our stupidity!
