My readers, let me tell you truth.
₦10,000 looks small.
But in Dugbe, Ibadan, ₦10,000 can be the seed of something big.
I’m a car washer here in Dugbe. Every day I see people hustle.
Mama selling pure water. Guy selling phone chargers. Student selling gala and drink.
They all started with small capital. Today some of them have 2 shops.
Why Dugbe?
Dugbe is market. People pass every minute. Students, workers, traders, bankers.
