ThierryJay:
Nice story. But the experience with the rich man was over exaggerated. 90% of all rich executives in Nigeria will react in the same way because they are truly typically very busy and may not have the luxury of time to connect with your idea if their business is not into that line.

NDSMELODY:
he forget to tell us how he finally made it to finland,that might give hope to someone struggling out there.

Cleanworld:


The truth is that Nigerians are too mean in nature. They hate progress for others.while praying, binding g and casting for God to bless them
Siblings and families are the worst at this game.
May God remember to pick our calls on time.

One side of the story


As soon as he was about to enter his office, I stood up, greeted him, and introduced myself to him. I gave him the manuscript with tears almost dropping from my eyes, i told him to assist me in publishing the book. He flipped through the manuscript and handed it back to me. His statement was "I'm very busy, you can come another day"

He could have returned when the rich man was less busy. Bible says keep on asking, keep knocking. Matt 7:7.

some "men of God" can be incredibly annoying but count it all joy bro, greater things are coming in 2021, lines are definitely falling in pleasant places.

jesmond3945:
this thing way you talk is very loaded especially in naija, you must keep on coming back till your breakthrough

aminusodiq:
he should have kept asking, cos he needed his help, he made a mistake there!!! But His actions wasn't humane enough, he could have said that more politely, even if he's not willing to help. You have a nice book, may you come some other time so we can review it cos I'm very busy now

Originalsly:


Bro... don't be so quick to criticize the country of your birth.... .and discourage others from pushing ahead to achieve their dreams. Nothing in life comes easy in any country.
I learn a lot from the streets ... in a decent society.....and getting a book published is not that easy for someone without deep pockets. That person will go to a small publisher and publish a small amount of copies... maybe 300 or 500.... he will then go to street vendors who sell books or any such store and drop a few... in the meantime... walking the street ... going to street fairs...etc and pushing his work. When that is almost sold out... he goes back to the publisher for a reprint and so on. The bigger publishing houses go to the smaller publishers to know which books are doing great numbers. They review them and contact the author if they find it has great potential. They then sign a contract with the writer and almost always repackage the book.... change the cover.. the title etc. before releasing the book.

@ topic.... I don't see why he should criticize the rich guy.... the guy never turned him down. The guy told him to return another time because he was busy at that time. He never did return. Why to date he can't see he missed an opportunity?...how was he humiliated?... he's too full of himself. Mr Ego.

That music, I go still sing am and I go blow..
Don't care how long it takes me to achieve it..

aminusodiq:
he could have been more polite, how could you just flip through and made a judgement! He outrightly showed that he's not willing to help, that's actually a typical nigerian man who finds helping a hard-working man an Herculeans task. If it was a woman, would he have said thesame?

NairalandSARS:


Did he book an appointment?
You think the rich man doesn't have more important things to do?

Interesting write up. You have done well. Please don't forget that EVERYONE faces rejection and disappointment including the person for whom we are celebrating Christmas.
The Great problem with Nigeria is we don't have Oluwa Biko a proper structure; in more decent societies you would not have to go round begging to be published like that.
We hope to continue hearing about your success and please don't forget those who are still struggling in Nigeria that you can help lift up too.
