All and sundry knows of his recent breakthrough and probably his net worth, but there are some lessons and features Nigerian youths must know about this young man, Mark Angel .

He is young and passionate
Just like every youth in Nigeria. Age is on his side and he has taste for something; and that thing is success. And I bet he has achieved it.

He was hopeful –
Hope is one thing that can keep a poor man alive. Even when he lost his benefactor to the cruel hands of death, he remained hopeful. He never blamed the corruption in the system or neither the system itself. He didn’t blame life for every so called impending curse. He kept or thriving and today he has over 170 million views on YouTube.

He kept his dream alive –
This gift gave him a dream just like everyone else and he kept the dream alive. He didn’t allow the environment or economy to kill it. He didn’t allow his friends or relatives or other close associates to kill it . I don’t know if he has fulfilled his dream, but it has taken him far and yet, there is room for improvement.

He belongs to the same system as all Nigerian youths

It’s good to put blame on certain things and people, but it doesn’t make anyone responsible . Mark Angel had every right to blame it on his uncle’s death, the government, the society, the unfair treatment and then chicken out and probably pick up arm and become a social vice; and when apprehended he can quote- “the government failed to give me a job” or “it is the work of the devil” and many other excusable quote. But instead, he choose to create his own world that will enable him fulfil his dreams.

He had a gift –
Some people don’t know the importance of having a gift or a special thing within; but he did, and he used the gift (comedy) to create a platform for himself . Today that platform has earned him over 700,000 subscribers on YouTube , propelling his net worth to about N70, 000, 000 (although with his partner, Emmanuella).

He is a success- just as anyone else can be
Success only comes when certain steps are laid on certain foundation. Today he is a success, but it came with a price. Every Nigerian youth can succeed, all they need do is to lay the right foundation on the right surface .
