Success, they say, is when preparation meets opportunity. But Chukwuma Ezeh's story doesn't follow this narrative.
The young man shared on Twitter how he became a millionaire with wheelbarrows. He had not planned for this as he worked as a houseboy in Delta.

The idea came from a stranger that supplies him polythene bags at the market. The stranger identified as Boniface later turned out to be his partner in the business.
The two businessmen started with 6 wheelbarrows, according to him, and grew to the point where they employed more hands and got the business registered.
Chukwuma said now they have 20 employees who make returns to them.
Plus, he has been able to diversify into other ventures with the money he makes from the enterprise.
"We started small with 6 barrows. I owned 5. Boniface owned one. We charged our employees; The barrowmen 200 naira (51 cents) per day for renting the barrows. It seems small but it's tiny, consistent drops of money like these, if properly channeled that creates oceans of wealth!"
His story gained traction on Twitter as many thought they were motivating.
