Fair Play?









Hello everyone, hope you are having a very relaxed weekend? I was going through some articles in the Nigerian newspaper and saw some stories that really made me ask what type of mind do some people have? This particular story is about Miss Sandra Iwu who is Miss Galaxy Beauty. This story is over her unpaid entitlements and rights. She apparently said that she was deprived her entitlements which included a car, travel expenses, payment of salary and basic support she needed during her rein as queen.

The article did not cover the other side’s story but I think that young girls who are trying to make it in the fashion world or any other sector should be supported and encouraged to achieve their dreams. No dream is irrelevant and if she was crowned miss galaxy, then she deserves every entitlement due to her and she has every right to make complaints and be sad about this. The lady miss Iwu has just spoken about ought to put reports right and prove that she has got integrity and is trustworthy as a businesswoman. Her attitude proves why many people are a bit sceptical dealing with “some” Nigerian so called business people.
Still talking about business people, our own business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, is the world’s 334th richest man. This was published by Forbes, an American magazine which lists 1,000 billionaires across the globe. Dangote is said to be worth $3.3 billion. He is said to be the only Nigerian on the list and the first time a Nigerian is making the (dollar) billionaire club. He is one of the seven Africans listed.
A big congratulation to Nigeria for that. We have the capability to do more, to make more impact in the world. It is good news someone from Nigeria made it. I am very proud of the country for this and I hope there will be many more Nigerian billionaires published next time on Forbes (A big Amen to that). I hope that people in Nigeria begin to see the need to support small enterprises, support our own local industries. It will help create jobs, incomes, facilities, innovation name it… we can definitely make it. Don’t you think? Have a lovely day.
