The bolded is the only reasonable point u stated while others are trash.

Come to idumota, balogun and yaba market in Lagos. You will see yoruba men (young guys and boys) frying akara, cooking meals, etc to make send meet. This is more reason u igbos can never rule because of your senseless pride.

For the man supporting his family, May God bless his hustle likewise other men doing the same.

''The fact that I didn’t get conventional education will not be a barrier for my children; I will make sure they get the best I can afford for now.”
This words epitomises the SPIRIT of the Igboman...This is why it took them a very short time to recoup their investments and rebuild their land after the war.

[size=18pt]Forty years ago, Bill and his childhood friend Paul Allen bet that software and personal computers would change the way people around the world worked and played. This bet wasn't exactly a wager. It was an opportunity to make computers personal and empower people through the magic of software. Some people thought they were nuts. But the bet turned out well.


Fifteen years ago, the two of us made a similar bet. We started our foundation in 2000 with the idea that by backing innovative work in health and education, we could help dramatically reduce inequity. The progress we've seen so far is very exciting — so exciting that we are doubling down on the bet we made 15 years ago, and picking ambitious goals for what's possible 15 years from now.
Our Big Bet

The lives of people in poor countries will improve faster in the next 15 years than at any other time in history. And their lives will improve more than anyone else's.

Seven out of ten people living in sub-Saharan Africa are farmers. (Compare that to the United States, where the ratio is two out of a hundred.) And yet Africa has to rely on imports and food aid to feed itself. Though it's the poorest continent in the world, it spends about $50 billion a year buying food from rich countries.

This is in part because African farmers get just a fraction of the yields that American farmers get. For example, the average maize yield in Africa is about 30 bushels an acre. In the United States, it's more than five times that.

STFUareyouGod:
undecided why give birth to SIX children when you can't take care of them? Why do we have to put ourselves in tight angles? SIX children for a man who has no real source of income is just pure foolishness and stupidity
Whatever happened to family planning? undecided
I never read where the man complained about needing help to feed good children.... So what's your own problem? 50000 a month he makes from his business comfortably and you claim and accuse my brother of having no source of income. Are you really this sick? What's the mininum wage in this country mumu? A man who is aspiring to expand his akara business to a full eatery, and also invest in other business yet you accuse him of being foolish and stupid. Nawaoo they send you....... Abegi carry your hate mentality nack head for pillow.

No the graduate went to school to have common sense and think more ''out of the box'' than the average unschooled akara seller.

1. He could fry and deliver his akara in hygienic brownpaper bags(like the types they use in selling fries in McDonalds or KFC) to those in corporate institutions like the banks. People would pay premium for anything it all matters how it is packaged.

2. He could get a fabricated stove that produces the least of smoke and consume less fuel(kerosene,firewood,gas e.t.c), install himself in a high density market and start making money.

There are many possibilities an educated GRADAUTE mind can explore even online, yes, online it might sound funny but ain't all startups funny till the money starts rolling in.

A delta man will prefer to die in hunger to fry akara. Igbos put pride aside when it comes to business.

The way he carries the wife business for head you will think he was jazed. Another one in Apapa always intrigue me, though this one na shop. But they no dey shame and they are proud of it. This was opposite of what I witnessed in my service year in some part of ......... In which the husband wakes up in the morning to be drinking kainkain and playing drafts and ludo.waiting for one of the wives to go farm and cook good meals.

Well said on the first and second sentence lines................. But Safarihoney...... Did you just say internship in corn and pear roasting??
*looking bemused* *thinking*
























































































































....................... Of course!!! *smiles* How innovative!

I suppose this is what you call, "Stepping out of

your comfort zone" *bigsmiles*

Well, all the best with that Safarihoney.............. See u at the top of the pile. *smiles*

........................................................................................

But on a serious note, That's what Persistence can do. It can bring one fortunes unheard of. It doesn't matter how highclass or lowclass a person's job is but the Vision and Directed focus one has. Like you said it's all about Hardwork and Humility. I'll add Sincerity to that too............. Sincerity to one's self.
