..see money....

Oluwa answer my call ooo...money dey. Na to spend remain...

Never heard of this Abdulsamad Rabiu dude. How can someone be that rich and not be popular.

Go back to commercial & industrial farming, only in farming and Agriculture you can find lasting peace of mind, long life, prosperity and clean wealth. The Nigerian fertile lands have been laying fallow for decades begging for industrial audience & agricultural exploration. For the next 500yrs, Africa can never develop except Nigerians take charge to stare to safe landing the economic prowess and financial emancipation of Africa through tangible & value adding engagements and quit the ideology of get rich quick over night venture without the good will of humanity at heart.

No Africa without the success of Nigeria however the average Nigerian politician are worst set of representatives projecting a dented and defective image of Africa, The success of Africa rest on the shoulder of Nigeria repositioning and redeeming its image in the global spotlight.

I use this medium to challenge every youth out there, never wait for grants and loans from parents, friends and relatives nor government agencies, never rest your laurels on your family inheritance, never believe every fictitious and hyped lies you see in the movies, lies flagrantly plagiarized by paid and hyphed journalist pushing u off the cliff by unscrupulous heroic tales of seemingly modest wealthy Nigerians and Africans listed on Forbes list whose real source of their wealth are not without questionable content & contents. A lot of half baked journalist published rogues on Forbes list and make heroes of bandits seeming overly larger than life. If you know or hear a story of any richest man, check the story before you believe.

African view and measure of wealth has to be remodelled or remodified with ingrained humanitarian values as only in Africa we have rogues shying for and from the Forbe list for political reasons. This has never been the case in Europe, part of Asian countries and in the USA and a few socialist states.

If God must save Africa, it begins with you and whatever little could be the means at hand, start something tangible with it and God will prosper your days of little beginning. Dont wait for the white man 21st century invasion of Africa or the uncompromising defaults and repentance of corrupt politicians who have looted the treasury of African and the Nigerian government before it occurs to you that you have a duty to do something. And while you make any move, do be sure to innovate or you die venture wise! God bless & Prosper Nigeria!
