Keep the spirit UP

MTN came to Nigeria at a time

when nobody wanted to invest in

Nigeria, at a time when Nigerians

did not have phones. Even Zenith

Bank refused to loan MTN cash to

operate, UBA rejected MTN’s offer but today see the difference. At

least we all know the story of 

Goodluck Jonathan. We

know how the people said he

was not going to be President; they eve...n made him acting-

President. Today the rest is

history. What about Cowbell?

When they came to Nigeria, they

made milk in a sachet, Peak was

laughing at them- they said Cowbell was milk for the poor-

but they were right! 3-million

poor people could afford N10 a

day for a sachet of milk. Oya, do

the math - 3million people buying

milk at N10.00- that was N30million every single day. In a

month they grossed N900million

(almost N1billion). Even Peak had

to make sachet milk in order to

survive in the market. What about Aliko

Dangote that started with 24 thousand naira borrowed from an uncle as an

enterpreneur but today, he is african

fore-most industrialist with d large

cement plant in Africa producing about 6

million metric tonnes....So what

have people told you? What have they said you cannot do, or you

do not qualify for, or you do not

have experience for? They told

Cowbell, they told Goodluck, they

told MTN, but today the story has

changed. I have a feeling something is changing for you

today! They will change their

strategies just to keep in step

with you. Don’t listen to what

people are saying or what life is

showing you… YES, YOU CAN! Do have a Positive Day... Success is

not about where you graduated

from, but what graduates out of

you.

Keep the spirit UP and do have a

blessed week ahead!! I see u @ the top.
