- Saved faithfully, in naira, in the bank.
- When the salary stops, everything stops.
The second man
He made naira
work for him.
- Started on a table in Ikeja.
- Four properties. Shares that pay him.
- His money moves while he sleeps.
Both are Nigerian. Both work hard. The gap between them was never intelligence, and it was never effort.
