Lesson to learn from these.
1.At the age of 21,Aliko Dangote was so bold enough to ask for loan from Sanusi Abdulkadir Dantata his Uncle.Here,Higher number of you will reason with me that Dangote already know what he want out of life from the age of (15-21) that was why he was able to take that bold step of him going to meet his uncle for such huge amount of money.
Now,A Normal Nigerian youth at that age what will be on his head is buying of smart phones,gadgets,playstation game,going after girls etc,they tends not to know what they want out of life,Even if they do they will give you excuses like:
(a).I am still in school: Look my dear brothers and sisters after graduating from school,school will not put money on the table for you,permit me to also tell you that success is a function of you and not your school certificate,so in whatever way start that business,start to actualize that idea you have in mind now.
(b).I dont have money: My dear even if you ask a rich man to give you money at first he will tell you he dont have,money is not easy to get majority of you  knows that so why dont you start from that little thing you have at hand,Nigeria is blessed abundant with natural resources why don't you tap into the available resources around you or your surroundings.

2.Mark Zuckerberg built and created his facebook.com right back at Harvard University inside his hostel with his roommates.

Now,At this stage a Normal Youth will ask where does he/she want to start from.

Well my only Answer to this Question is:
1.Start from Anywhere: Dont wait for that perfect moment to come rather take the current moment you are now and make it perfect,14 years ago if mark heard already know this is how everything will turn out to be,he probably would've rather prefer going to a nice serine environment or a good vicinity to create facebook and not school hostel.

Thanks for taking your precious time to read my piece of article and i hope this just inspire a Nigeria youth.
