Akin Alabi reveals humbling story, "At 24 I still relied on mum for as little as N100."

Nigerian entrepreneur and lawmaker, Otunba Akin Alabi has shared his personal grass-to-grace story and it is very humbling. He told the story to dispel the notion that one who doesn’t make millions of money at an early age can never make it again.

 

The founder of Nairabet said he was extremely broke at 23 but was a multimillionaire in Dollars by the time he was 40.

 

He said this while reacting to a Twitter user who wrote: “Fact: If you were not a millionaire at 23, you can never be a millionaire again.”

 

Akin Alabi responded: “My friend, I understand this could be a joke but you have to understand many people would not get the joke. They can take you seriously. I was extremely broke at 23. At 40, I was a multi millionaire. IN DOLLARS.”

Previously, Akin Alabi had responded to another Twitter user who wrote: “You’ve failed as a guy, if you’re still broke at age 24.”

 

His reply to the guy reads: “What kind of nonsense is this, this early morning? At 24, I still relied on my mother to give me as little as N100.”

 

I love to read, write and TRAVEL!!! The media space is my canvas to paint the truths of our brands and the stories of our Nigerian culture. I love a good book any day because with them I can travel to spaces that are perfect in their frame.
