- Chantelle Abdul encourages young Nigerians to adopt a positive mindset and seize untapped potential in Nigeria and Africa.
- Abdul urges entrepreneurs to embrace challenges within Africa, emphasizing its potential for double-digit growth and wealth creation.
- Abdul highlights the wealth opportunities in green field areas like Nigeria and Africa, encouraging individuals to take advantage of them.
Group Managing Director of Mojec International Holdings, Chantelle Abdul, has called on young Nigerians to challenge their mindsets and think positively about the problems they encounter every day as it is one of the only ways they can take advantage of the untapped potential and wealth creation opportunities in the country and Africa.
She said this during a thought-provoking panel session with renowned businesswoman, Apostle Folorunsho Alakija, at the Business Acceleration Course (BAC) growth seminar organized by Harvesters International Christian Centre on Friday, June 16.
Abdul said it is common for many people to voice their grievances about the economic and infrastructural gaps in the country instead of looking at the issues from a different perspective.
- “What is hidden in every problem is your prosperity, wealth creation and an opportunity waiting to be taken,” Chantelle Abdul said during the session.
According to Abdul, the mass emigration of Africans trooping out for better opportunities abroad is in contrast to the number of Asians, particularly Chinese, coming into the African continent.
She urged young Nigerians and aspiring entrepreneurs to embrace the challenges within the continent adding that doing so will also lead to wealth creation for those willing to seize the abundant opportunities.
- “Everybody else sees Africa as the last frontier. Nigeria, in particular, is one of the few places where double-digit growth is possible. Notice what Apostle Folorunsho Alakija said, she was making money buying and selling as far back as decades ago which still holds true today. There are so many things we haven’t done yet.
- And if you want to become rapidly wealthy, the best place to become it is in green field areas like Nigeria and the rest of Africa.”
