These clubs create access to opportunities
Media personality Emmanuel Alaba shared how membership in these prestigious clubs creates opportunities that are unavailable to others
“Membership in prestigious clubs can create access to opportunities that are harder for non-members to obtain; that's why they're called clubs. They have exclusive opportunities for members that are not open to outsiders.”
