      My fellow Nigerians, I want to make it perfectly clear, that the old economy is still relevant today as the world continues to move fast especially New technology. Men like odumegwu father louis, Tagbo Onyekwelu, and other igbo men made their money from palm oil exports that has been dominated by Indonesia, and Malaysia. Unfortunately, each time you go on social media you hear the word BILLIONAIRE, BILLIONAIRE, what does the guy do?
