Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man, Ifeanyi Obi, in a post shared one of his life experiences before he travelled out of the country.
He revealed that between 2007 and 2008, he visited many federal ministries in the country to pitch his innovative idea but the efforts all proved abortive.
Ifeanyi added that one of the directors in a federal outfit told him that he was too young to realise his dream. Everything happened before the man travelled to Europe to study.
