The reason
Naomi and her Husband left her country for a foreign one was because there was
famine in the land, so they expected they would do well in a foreign land that
apparently was flowing with ‘milk and honey’ but you know the rest of the
story, after some years Naomi returned back to her home land empty handed after
losing everything she went with including her husband. This story is a few
thousand years old yet many a times we don’t seem to get the wisdom from that
lesson – YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE.
‘Make money
anywhere’ is a book written by Helen Mukoro, it makes it clear that you can
make the money you want to make anywhere you are, there are many poor people in
America or Abuja yet we have people living large in some states I need not
mention. Ofcourse this article is not to talk about Helen Mukoro’s book but the
author, Her quest and success in a foreign land to clinching the Presidential
ticket in Spain even as a Nigerian who grew up in Sapele makes it further clear
that YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE ANYWHERE.
Helen Mukoro attended Saint Ita's Girls
College. Sapele, Delta State. Elected by the College Administration as the
Assistant Prep Prefect. She holds a Degree in Social Education, Professional
Master degree in Criminology. Superior Professional Certificate in Criminal
Law, Postgraduate Certificate in Tax and Labour Management, a Postgraduate
Certificate in Forensic Psychology, a Postgraduate Certificate in Immigration
and Domestic Violence, as well as a Diploma Certificate in Agriculture (College
of Agriculture, Anwai, Delta State, Nigeria).
She once contested for the seat of Mayor of
Denia - Spain on May 24, 2015 and is now a Presidential aspirant for the Presidency
of Spain, December, 2015 for the opposition political party UNION DE TODOS.
Even in a foreign land her quest to move to
the top was not tamed, she probably knows that anywhere she can place her foot
on is hers like an inheritance hence she did not limit her drive to excel and
be head. That means some of the excuses we give for not being successful with
our dreams, excuses like the family we came from, our country, the economic
climate, Government’s attitude to upcoming entrepreneurs et al simply holds no
water.
Ofcourse she prepared herself (obvious from
her qualifications above), she didn’t just wish it and expect it to fall on her
laps, she risked it, took steps to prepare herself and ventured into it. So
forget that place, that bank account statement of yours, that family, that past
or whatever because the truth is – YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT, ANYWHERE YOU
WANT.
