    Wow, I hope the viewers are taking notes and will watch this again for the "seeds of wisdom." So much is being dropped here until I am getting goose bumps. Thanks Tayo for being patient and running this down ... Looking forward to my visit to maybe what is my main DNA link to the continent. I want to help not take ... Thanks.

      I fully agree. Some people would have left out the cousin part in other to make their story sound more inspirational and industrious. As having no plug and doing it all by yourself makes for a better rags to riches, self made millionaire story.

      What does it mean??? I know there are a lot of eyes being rolled at my question. For them it might be stupid because they understand it which should make them feel good that they are knowledgeable enough to help us who are unlucky and are not as intelligent as them or didn't grow up around highly educated people, or be privileged enough to have had private high end education.
      So hopefully someone can help me understand it because I really want to know what he means "what's his message"?

    that is one thing I love about Nigerian entrepreneurs compared to any other African countries I experience, how they hustle. No fear of the unknown, unfortunately he is right, manufacturing is non existent due to people perception of local products and lack of support from government to tax import so local production can be competitive.

    This thing Mr Kennedy said about a roof being over your head is highly underrated. I live in Europe and there has been a few times where I found it very difficult to get an appartement for one reason or another. My father who is in Nigeria will be so bothered and would turn it into a prayer point for me to get an appartement on time. My father would say the most important thing for a man is shelter. It is only when you have shelter you can begin to think properly on how to find food. My father would say even if you have so many problems, where to sleep at night should not be one of it because that is one of the worst situations for anybody to find themselves in.
    I have had an experience of not having where to stay for the night because I missed the connecting train to where I was going. This was towards midnight and everywhere was freezing cold. I thought maybe I could stay at the train station until the morning to take the first train to my destination. Unfortunately, at 1am the security ordered all of us to go outside. It was freezing cold 🥶 outside. The next time the train station would be open was at 4am. I didn’t have any friends at this location so I was forced to stay outside the whole night until 4am. It was the longest 3 hours wait in my life. I couldn’t think of any other thing than getting warm. Food was not even the priority. The priority was finding warmth. I didn’t want to stay in a hotel because I didn’t budget for that. It was at that point, I understood better what my father was talking about.

      many many years ago, one relatives from our family would wake up at 3-4 am to take train to go to high school, travel would take about 1h. So, from 5 am to 7:30 am when classes started, he would have to wait in train stations or outside of high school. Did this for 4 years. Winters are with -15 (c) outside. Then he would get the train at +16 ( +4 pm) and get home at 17-18 ( 5-6 pm).
      Then he went to university, his parents had food and all, but nobody had a job to bring real money, so he could not get a place to stay, no money for a rent. When he was at university, he slept in train stations and at university when he found a place. Did this for 4 years as well. He had top grandes, so he got some money from the government, but those would cover his travel tickets, food and clothes. He finished university like this and got a job as teacher, but then left so that he works at a bank. I didn't even finished high school and I made more money than he made. Hard work pays off, but sometimes life is just unfair, see the unbalance? is not just about me and him, but in this situation could be many
