Over there in yankee, I hear alot and read a lot about wealthy individuals who invest in people's ideas, just for a percentage of the business, they are called angel investors, they are wealthy and want to help others that want to start a business with their money, with little returns.

But here in Nigeria, I don't hear of such things happening, why? Is it that the wealthy are not concerned about the development of the younger ones? Or we don't know at all of angel investing? Or are there angel investors in this country?

It happens on man- know -man level. Yet to be organised to a registered or recognized form of business.

Wow! We need to grow to that level in this country. Many ideas wasting all because of unavailability of funds to young entrepreneurs.

There are investors, but no viable idea.

Life is give and take, they might seem greedy, but they must benefit from the deal, it's their money and we need it.

I have a viable idea. Can you connect me to one of the investors?

I know of no one, that's why I'm wondering whether they exist at all in this country. Because of people like you, I and others who need them
I hope the rich start seeing the need to help with their money.

I can tell you there are no angel investors in Nigeria.
