Truth is, there mucare so one can do with very little, it takes persistence, focus, interest and above all hard work. For instance,Aliko Dangote started his business with a very small capital, look where he is now. We can’t all be rich but we all shouldn’t be poor. Our background should not limit our ability to make things happen. When we start thinking differently,we can start making a difference.
