Let me tell you a story.
A story of how I became a millionaire with wheel barrows.
In 2015 I was living in Delta as a houseboy in the Igbo apprenticeship system. One of my duties every weekend was to buy and have processed two old layer hens at abraka market asaba.
A thread..
There was a man, Boniface, who sold polythene there. He had a small
kiosk & I’d often buy the bags to package my already cut up chicken
from his store.
I had no idea the man has been admiring me. One day he opened up. He told me he just liked me and that he wanted to be friends.
I was wary at first but I thought, what could possibly go wrong? So I gave him my number and we became friends.
Every saturday I’d sit at his shop as my hens were cut & we’d talk. He looked poor & ordinary, but mentally he was a genius. A treasure trove of MONEY MAKING IDEAS!!!
He was way older than me but we developed deep respect for each other.
During our discussions we talked about converting the many opportunities that abound in this country, but the nearest to attainable one was starting a small scale barrow rental business around onitsha markets
We wanted to help people out and of course also make money to
better our lives. Being the trader amongst us, I did my research. Ran
the numbers, sought & got permission from my then master and thus we
went into the business of making & renting out barrows.
I registered and became the youngest member of the Anambra state barrow
owners & pushers association – yes thats an actual union that
regulates the barrow business and it cost quite some money to sign up
into.
We started small with 6 barrows. I owned 5. Boniface owned one. We
charged our employees; The barrowmen 200 naira (51 cents) per day for
renting the barrows. It seems small but it’s tiny, consistent drops of
money like these, if properly channeled that creates oceans of wealth!
For people who just left prisons, okada riders who were banned from operating, poor farmers from rural areas, young people without jobs, wheel barrow pushing is somewhat of a last resort. It doesn’t require much skill. With just strenght & stamina a person can make money daily.
Alot of these people go on to raise capital from this job to buy tools or vehicles or machines for other labour intensive jobs and thus improve their standard of living and rise a step higher in the ladder of society and above poverty.
We marketed them as polite, professional pushers to the market to
encourage people to always patronise & them in particular and It
worked!!
“GEMDECONQ” barrow men started getting more jobs and started making more money than they did before.
Truth is Nigeria has too many problems. Problems create a need for
solutions. Providing solutions creates value and value is simply what
makes people wealthy.
You don’t need juju.
Look for problems & needs around you. Solve one or two. You too will count in milli milli.
Attorney Eric Nelson told the jury there’s evidence that is about more than 9 minutes of video. He then zeroed in on Floyd going to a market shortly before the police confrontation.
He says employees from the market observed Floyd and believed he was under the influence of something. Nelson then raised the issue of Floyd allegedly trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill.
Nelson says when police got the call from someone inside the market, they said Floyd appeared “drunk.”
He told the jury when Floyd was inside a car after leaving the market he had fallen asleep, again suggesting he was under the influence.
He says when Floyd was confronted by cops, he “put drugs in his mouth” to conceal them, TMZ reports. He says when an autopsy was performed they found a “speedball” in his system, which includes meth and fentanyl.
Nelson says Floyd had incredible strength as he resisted 3 officers. Video shows the car rocking back and forth, indicating there was such a fierce struggle, he said.
He noted Chauvin was 5’9″ and 140 lbs, while Floyd dwarfed him at 6’3″ and 240 lbs, thereby suggesting the force Chauvin used was justified.
He also says Floyd had heart issues that were fatally exacerbated by drug intake.
He also said the growing crowd of horrified onlookers actually exacerbated the situation by hurling names at Chauvin and the other cops.
Nelson implored the jury not to consider this a social justice trial, rather he says it’s a trial of one man.
The photo were obtained by a popular gossip blog on Instagram and has sparked reactions on social media after it was posted on their page.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Lagos state House of Assembly on Thursday, March 25, passed the approval through a voice vote supervised by the Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa.
The House had received the request in a letter from the ministry of economic planning and budget headed by Gbolahan Yishawu.
The speaker during plenary explained that 355 vehicles were approved out of the 916 needed for various officials of the government.
Yishawu while presenting the report to the House noted that the committee had invited the state’s Head of Service (HOS), Hakeem Muri-Okunola, to defend the request, Nigerian Tribune reports.
The lawmaker added that Abiola Liadi, the permanent secretary in the state ministry of budget and economic planning, was also invited, amongst others.
Toke Makinwa commenting on how women are partly blamed for their partners’ cheating attitude said people should stop blaming women for that.
According to her, if a woman gets cheated on by her husband/partner you should resist the urge to blame the woman for his wrongdoing as it doesn’t reflect on her.
Toke Makinwa then advised women to stop saying ‘men will disgrace you’ as that is alluding and accepting shame for another person’s crime which is not right.

The Super Eagles will take on Lesotho in their final 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Teslim Balogun stadium.
Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) officials say that the number of fans allowed
in to the stadium to watch the match depends on the Confederation of
African Football’s Covid-19 protocols at the time.
The last competitive game Nigeria played in Lagos was a 1-0 Nations Cup qualifying win over Zambia in January 2001, while 10 years later there was a 2-1 friendly win over Sierra Leone at the Teslim Balogun venue.
March’s game could see Lagos once again becoming a permanent home for the Super Eagles according to sports minister Sunday Dare who is keen to refurbish the dilapidated National Stadium in Lagos.
“This city is excited to host the country’s first competitive fixture in 20 years in a place where the team rarely lose,” chairman of the Lagos State Sports commission, Sola Aiyepeku, told BBC Sport Africa
“Everything is geared towards making Lagos the home base again,
because there’s a presence that this place has and demand that the fans
have towards the opposition that puts them in fear.
“We want the Nigeria fear factor that this city has to return and put that in the hearts and souls of teams that come here.”
The city is also confident that it can put in all the necessary measures
for the game despite the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s an unprecedented time to host the national team but wherever you
go there is still the coronavirus, so it will definitely dampen probably
the number of people,” NFF vice president and Lagos FA boss Seyi
Akinwunmi added.
“Despite the huge logistic problems that comes with these challenging
times, Lagos state has proven that it can manage the pandemic more than
most states in the country.
“The state has all the capacity, the hotels, state of the art
ambulances, hospitals and everything which is an added reason for the
country to come to Lagos.
“It’s been a challenging year for the world in terms of football, but the country’s most famous state is delighted to welcome the Eagles back home where they’ve enjoyed a remarkable success.”
The Super Eagles
have been playing their internationals around the country since the end
of the 20th century when the cash-strapped Nigerian Football
Association (now NFF) decided to approach cities interested in hosting
international games.
Financial support, usually provided by the governors who host the
national team in their states, saw the Eagles move around to Port
Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Delta State.
The Abuja and Lagos National Stadiums, as well as dozens of others that dot Nigerian cities, have become white elephants furthering emphasising a sad reminder of Nigeria’s poor maintenance culture.
According to Ifu Ennada, it is harder being a woman than a man.
She made this known via her Instagram page where she opine that women “should be regarded as the stronger vessels” because it is “much harder to be a woman than it is to be a man.”

She stressed that if men should become women for a week, most of them will fail at it.
