Guys, I am meeting with a billionaire who agreed to grant me 30minutes of her time tomorrow to discuss my business plan. Please pray for me.
Slight adjustment… I’m meeting with two billionaires tomorrow now :).
Double the prayer’s. Thank you all so much.
I received a commitment of 200 million Naira to fund my business plan
. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Though she didn’t commit money immediately to support my ideas, she gave me very good advice and guidance.
She is a very busy woman but she gave me an hour of her time yesterday.
The outcome of my next meeting was much better because I applied the knowledge and wisdom I had gained from Miss Linda.
She was optimistic about my idea. She told me I had a good plan & she offered me support after I have taken my plans off foundation level.
I met with Mr Nze Ka Nze ( @hrhnzekanze1 ) right after my meeting with Miss Linda. He is the most logical & patient person I have ever met.

Our taste in books and ideas were also very synonymous. I pitched the business plan to him and he was very excited by it.
He gave me a job instantly at his corporation Nat East and several other incentives ( @officialnateast ).
He told me to add another 0 to the 20 million I was looking for and he committed to granting me access to over 200 million Naira.
In cash, real estate and assets to bring his and my ideas to life
He didn’t give me a time frame to work with, he is willing to invest, nurture and grow our plans long term.
I am still open to meeting with more Investors. The more the better and quicker we can accomplish greatness.
To Young people out there who think their dreams are too big or the resources available to them are too limited,
I want you to take me as your example… I started by looking for 20 million Naira and a lot of people thought I was crazy.
But i didn’t listen and I persisted in spite of the odds against me.
Today, I have a commitment of not 20, not 40, not 60 million Naira but 200 million Naira.
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Sam
Remember, I am 18years old… If I could get an investor to commit 200 Million Naira to my plans, you can do if too. Take a bold risk today!
Give me a few years, I’ve got some big plans.
