There is no problem that cannot be solved. Money is merely a reward for solving problems. Therefore I conclude that the bigger the problems you solve, the more money you are going to make.
“It is not about building billion-dollar companies, it is about solving billion-dollar worth of problems”

Nigeria in particular and Africa in general has been highlighted as the next place where great wealth will flow simply because a lot of work – hard work still needs to be done here to build a modern society.
That is why it is small thinking for anyone to travel out of this country now without plans to come back. I have an understanding that Nigeria will not always remain like this, without constant power supply and good roads. It is now left for us to decide whether we will join the development of the country (and make a lot of money in the process) or whether we will just watch it happen.
I shake my head in disdain when I see a web guy is launching yet another forum, blog or social network. Time invested into that venture is better spent on really thinking on a real problem around us that we can solve.
It does not have to be a big problem on the scale of bad roads, but you can solve little problems around you with a little digital technology.
You now need to ask yourself, what billion dollar problem can I train myself to solve?
Think about these things,
M.
