I'm only writing this piece because I've seen that most Nigerians now believe that ‘if one can't make it by hook, one can make it by crook' but definitely one must make it.
I've heard statements like “legally or illegally, money must be made”.

An average Nigerian doesn't like hearing stuffs like “big things take time" probably because he thinks he's got a fresh and hot blood flowing through his veins. 

Unfortunately, you can't evade the fact.
People that made it in life never made it in one day.
They probably didn't make it in 5yrs too.

At this juncture, I think I'll start with illustrations so we can assimilate this piece and change our mindset.

Last week, Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria to see developers and entrepreneurs.
His visit got everyone ‘high'.
Some would have loved him to stay much longer so they can interact well with him and know more of his success secrets but the truth is that you can't have enough of that young man even if he had stayed for a whole month.

Mark's success didn't just happen in one day.
His passion for coding actually got him where he is today.
At a very little age, Mark built an App that his family used in interacting with each other just within their abode

In 2004, he founded Facebook with some of his friends.
Facebook didn't just get popular overnight.
It took TIME.
If I calculated well, 2004 till now is 12yrs!
(Oh! can you picture a child of 12yrs?)
He started it because of his passion for coding and not because he is desperately in need of fame and money and now he's here.

Another example is Linda Ikeji.
Linda started her journey into the blogging world after reading something written about her on Bella Naija in 2006.
She started it because of the passion she's got for it and not because of the money that'd come from it.
From my research, she started making cool money through her blog in 2011.
That's 5yrs after establishing that blog.
Now she's one of the top Nigerian/African bloggers.

Let's take a look at the music industry,we'll take just one example and we're done.

Peter and Paul Okoye (P-Square) are two Nigerian musicians that's travelled across the globe,expanding their empire.
Do you think it all happened in just one day?
Do you remember those days of “Do me, do me?"
Do you remember those days they used to sell Plantain on the streets of Jos?

The truth is that the only difference between here and there is “T"
That “T" stands for TIME.
Don't rush life, with time you'll see yourself being celebrated like others.

One's destiny can only be delayed but can NEVER be denied.

Que Sera Sera
