<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>In Nigeria, the struggle is real — we know. But so is success, even when it starts from the trenches.</p><p><strong>“They had no connections, no millions — yet they made it. So what’s stopping you?”</strong></p><p>Take <strong>Blessing Abeng </strong>— co-founder of Ingressive for Good. She wasn’t born into wealth. She pushed through with creativity and consistency, and now she helps thousands of African youths learn tech for free.</p><p>What about <strong>Zlatan Ibile</strong>? Before the fame, he was just a boy from the streets of Ikorodu who won a talent competition. Nobody expected him to blow — now he headlines shows and runs his own label.</p><p>Or P<strong>eace Itimi</strong>, the digital marketing guru. She learned skills from free YouTube videos, applied for global programs, and today speaks at international conferences. No rich background. Just guts and growth.</p><p>And then there's <strong>Debbie Larry-Izamoje</strong>, founder of the “Entrepreneur Africa” platform. She started with borrowed laptops and hosted events with empty pockets. Now she mentors upcoming business owners across West Africa.</p><p>Even the lady frying yam and akara at your junction — she might be sponsoring her child through university. That’s power. That’s hustle. That’s courage.</p><p><br/></p><p>You don’t need millions to start. You need movement. A decision. A skill. One customer. One viewer. One “yes.”</p><p>Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Nigeria is hard, yes. But some of the strongest diamonds were made from this exact pressure.</p><p>You’re next. Start now.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
