"The tweet says he had 6 workers in 2014 and today he has over 3000 workers. What does that tell you?"

"This is how to lift people out of poverty, not the Npower and Tradermoni this regime initiated, which is strictly for stealing money."
@OOArinze said:
"I remain grateful to you and former President, Dr. Goodluck for introducing YouWin. I was among the first set of YouWin participants. I didn't get the grant, but I gained the knowledge that established me today. I live the YouWin dream. Thank you ma."

When asked why that was the case, the fish farmer indicated that the cycle of going to work, returning to watch TV and then go back the next day was one he could not take any longer.
