Hello everyone, please lets be careful here about this guys info, because there are elements of truth and some of lies. The lies are just due to improper observation of Nigerian youths. Like somebody said. Yes i hawked pure water in Eko market, lolly pop in oyingbo, during off school months,our family made fufu, sold peanuts and i worked at the sawmill. I did all this because i believed in my God and myself that i will survive and make it in Nigeria. Nobody in my church knew what i was doing ( particularly for me: i hawked, worked at the sawmill and collected trash for money and worked with a man in my street that rented out chairs and tables for parities. Sometimes i will run into our neighbours from our street but not church members, i felt ashamed but not discourage becos as the first child, i was not going to steal,or be identified with it also wanted to model hard work to my other siblings) . Yet i was taking classes as student, i was determined to bring home something more than mediocrity.
I am saying this not to take glory of myself but to tell the Nigerian youth that u can survive and rise up anywhere u are right now in the world. Mind u am am from Nigeria, born and breed in Lagos, originally from Uyo. During my secondary school years, being a boarding school in Ogun while my parents lived in Lagos, i was used to working, i will tell distant neighbours, that i am a student, they will allow me into their homes, to work house help, with house chores, on the weekends sometimes on sunday after church. I never told my parents because, they would discourage me. Not even anyone in my dormitory knew about it, no matter how close they are to me. Little did my parents knew that i did not want to intentionally bother them because i knew how bad things were, even though they did not disclose it to me. I had other siblings after me for them to help as they were all students themselves. I did this for years why waiting for more money from them via fellow friends. Mind u i was in my teens.
After finishing in 1996, i took Jamb and gained admission into two schools UYO / Laspotec, i choose laspotec, during school off days, i would arrange with parents and teach their children math and english for money. To cut the story short i relocated to the state in 1999 till date the rest is history. I am never disconnected from our great country Nigeria because it is my motherland. And i am persuaded that any youth in Nigeria and in this world can succeed.
Recently, most precisely, last month a family member older than me a womanizer and a lazy person, called me after twelve years. The first thing is, please send me money i want to start a business. By the way i am 33years Married and blessed with two children. He is not married at 40 and wants me to send him money for a business. Mind you folks i am a people-person, if i have i will help.
In fact, my desire is to provide humanitarian and philanthropic aid to people. I never told him this, (are there not banks in Nigeria where he can borrow money to start a business). Only because he heard i built a house in Lagos, he foolishly taught am a millionaire, yes i am but it is not by sitting my behind on the chair and looking the sky, with a women am not married to in my house wasting my life away. Sorry i did not want to sound like a fanatic, if that is your perception that is fine i don't care. it is by prayer, sacrifice, determination, resilience,focus, planing and a lesser sleep now for more tommorrow. To me Nigerian youth are over sleeping, over talking, over indulging, over eating and over playing. I told him i have no solid job, just a medial job, with just doing a medial job am still able to do the unbelievable.

My personal achievement:
1. Currently married, with children,
2, Started a house in Lagos in 2003 age 25, completes 2011 by age 33
3. Currently a worker and off course a bread winner
4, Currently in the University, schooling.
5. Acquired a land in Uyo this 2011 ( Possible site for generation of income for people/self)
6 Live in house in America, that is not appartment. Nothing wrong with that though
7. My ultimate goal is to establish employment opportunities for people in Nigeria

Why am i saying this, is it to expose my self no. This is my personal life an i want people to learn from my simplicity. Every Nigerian Youth/child has the potential to be whatever God intended for them if they are wise. They can work today and rest tomorrow. Instead of the people looking for quick rich scams that will imprison them, thereby loosing precious time that would have been invested constructively to better their life. The youth should stay humble, stay where God place an you will be divinely lifted in due time. Does it look like am just a father, no am a worker or civil servant , am a student also. Please lets grow up and stop growing under our parents. I personally hated receiving from my parents. Trees that grow on their own thrive better than those that grow under others. Mind you my parents have two houses over the course 10 years, just bought another land. I never in my life think or let it cross my mind that i will take their properties.
I indirectly don't need it, because i have mine. Some youth are like that they want to suck their parents to death. I hear somebody say, they work alot in that family, foolish you. U want us to depend on the government, hun!! or sit down and watch our potential do something that will benefit us and other pass away without doing anything. It is not right. It is not under my watch like President Bush says. Nigerian Youth need to be reeducated,retaught, and rebuilt. Otherwise, everybody will blame the economy,economy,economy, and nothing can be done. Nigeria is on the list as one of the best place to do business because of its fast growing population, its increase need in man power, increase need for financial sustainability and increase spread in globalization and mcdonaldization. Lets not be left behind in this move.
Finally Nigerian youth can get the best out of their life if they wake up from their sleep. At least i can prove that i am making it in life through hard work and the Grace of God. Mind you they will not die because of hard work. For he that does not work doesnot deserve food.I passionately hate to steal another Man's money i can have mine, because he is able that promise. God bless Nigeria, God bless America and God has bless this planet. Stay cool.

I think it is time for us as nigerians in America and world-wide to rebuild, our name and image, without taking permission from the mainstream. I am not necessarily a conservative, neither am i a fundamentalist , yet a liberal like anyother person. This dude may think he is smart, one day nemesis will catch up with him. After all is done an said,he may not live to enjoy that money. This is what Solomon in one of the richest man that ever lived said. He started off with 300 wives and 200 concubines, in his later years he wrote proverbs which is a book about wisdom. He shed alot of light in this book about relationships. Hence, we cannot continue to do the same thing and expect a different result, we know this to be insanity, or delusion. My advise to this guy is to turn himself in to the law, nobody will kill him, since he didn't kill. In retrospect, in our Nigerian culture, a liar is normally attributed to a killer. Heaven willn't ignore men, cos the porter his waiting for you. Let the law of the land deal with you so u don't have to be dealt with by God. " tis better to be born twice and die once than born once die twice. Give it up brother. Your live is just like a shadow. Think about it.
