When I see all these poverty tweets, I just laugh. In 2018, a friend wanted to buy water pumps in Kano, so he asked wether I knew a supplier. I called my dad's friend, who is an agro-equipment dealer. He said he didn't have pumps at the time, but his friend in 'yan kura did..

So I went to his office and he attached me with one of his staff to take me to his friend's store. We arrived at the store, waiting for my friend to join us there, as he was just coming in from Jos.

While I was waiting, someone came into the office, said he wanted to buy a few generators. That's how this guy sold over N18M worth of equipment without moving an inch from his seat. Just continued playing his tafseer like nothing happened. Just a normal day in the market

There are hundreds like him in 'yan kura, kantin kwari, sabon gari etc. Traveling and networking solves some of these issues.

My friend wanted to buy 1000 pieces of water pumps then at around ₦25k each. Sadly, we didn't buy from Alhaji, because he didn't have the model we asked for.

Wether you are from the south or from the north, you've got to drop all these negative energy man. Make friends in the north and the south. Friends that'll help you grow. Friends that'll call you and give you business.

There's poverty in the whole country, but the best way to help the poor is by not being one of them.

Focus all your energy on your OWN hustle. Because if you're poor in this life, no northerner or southerner will prioritise your needs over theirs. It's simple.
