All the world's richest have something in common. Entrepreneurship my fellow Nigerians, let's rethink our rush for paid jobs as employees We can never overcome the rate of unemployment in this country with that mentality. The more entrepreneurs we have, the more jobs will be made available. I am looking forward to that time when Nigerians can change from any job to another of their choice with relative ease because jobs are everywhere. |
