If you have 30, 40 million in Nigeria and you think you’re a poor man, you’re a mad man
Media expert Dele Momodu has asked Nigerians who are currently residing outside of the country to reevaluate their objectives, as stated in an interview with Teju Babyface.
It was underlined by Momodu that having N30m, N40million Nigerian can give a comfortable existence and enable one to engage in entrepreneurial endeavours.
In support of his contention that there is no such thing as complete security, he cited the incident in New York City, where it is reported that three thousand people were murdered in a single day.
“If you had 30, 40 million in Nigeria and you think you’re a poor man, I beg you, you’re a mad man. You have 30, 40 million and you can’t set up a proper business in Nigeria. I beg you think again. There’s nowhere where there’s perfect security.
“On a single day 3000 people got killed in New York. The people of New York have not abandoned their country because of that. In fact you can set up your own security in Nigeria.
“If food is the matter, if you want to start your own ranch in Nigeria with cows and everything, you can start with N30million.”
“The attraction of staying abroad is that when you go on vacation, everyone welcomes you. You’re staying with your family in a free house.
“The day you carry all your children to another man’s house and he knows you’re not leaving in a hurry, you’re going to see the difference.
“And the day you rent your own house, that is the trauma you’re going to carry for almost all the rest of your life. Because you now have to face the reality of paying your own bills abroad.
“And there’s no mercy, once your money finishes, your life goes. No mercy. Just remember that Dele Momodu said No mercy abroad.”
Nigerians were encouraged by Momodu to make the most of the chances that are available to them in their native country, where they have the opportunity to establish their own farms, ranches, or enterprises.
