The pareto principle often reminds me of an uncle who made his name as an estate manager and land agent in Onitsha and environs and he built shops and houses with the proceeds.

Despite this, it was that time when it was a trend for young people to move to South Africa.

South Africa held so much appeal because drug money/ill gotten wealth didn't come as tiny drops.

He sold everything and moved to Southy when I was in primary school and returned when I was in the university with just his life; infinitely grateful to God for keeping him alive.

This thread isn't discouraging migration. That's not the intention. I'm trying to paint a picture with a personal story.

My uncle was just a good negotiator. His wealth in Onitsha didn't come from shooting guns at rival gangs and hiding from the police.

Focus on your strengths.
