I recently watched a video on Facebook where the Founder of Air Peace Airplanes; Chief Barr Allen Onyema was narrating his success story in an event organized by Ubong King. He made a very salient point which was also emphasized by Ubong.
"Go to your communities, go to your environment, look within your nation, do you see any problem that nobody has found an answer yet? If you can tackle that problem...If you are the first person to discover a solution to that problem, you are on your way to wealth", he added.

This is also the motivating factor behind the Genesis Story.
The Genesis group of companies was founded by Sir Nnaeto Orazulike in a bid to solve a problem in the society.
Meanwhile, Dr. Nnaeto Orazulike is also a member of the board of Fate Foundation as well as a non-executive director of Fidelity Bank Plc.
According to Nnaeto, as a young man in his early twentys doing very fine as a banker, he took a female friend out on a date but was disappointed that he could not find a fine-dining restaurant in Enugu where he resided as at that time that met his taste.
This was problem identification by experience. He was not satisfied with the quality of the restaurants around.Nnaeto also noted that he wasn't satisfied in his banking work; practicing the accountancy he studied.
He has an entrepreneurship drive which pushed him into doing something new and creative
So, he decided to provide Enugu with an upscale restaurant in the year, 1991. This was the same year he completed his NYSC services and got the banking job.
Nnaeto started Genesis restaurant and it was an instant success. It filled a gap and solved a need.
He further expanded it and today, the Genesis Group has been in existence for 25 years and is involved in Contract Catering, Hotels, Restaurants, Cinemas, Snack Production, Real Estate Development, and Oil and Gas Services.
It has its corporate Head Office, a magnificent structure, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
I would not want to start narrating how Genesis was a success. Although it also had its own turbulent times, but one thing is certain- 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙛𝙪𝙡.
Today, Nnaeto is not only a successful man but a very wealthy and fulfilled man.

There are many problems aching to be solved and people are ready to give whatever it takes in cash or in kind for these problems to be solved. You might be thinking that there are already a lot of people cum companies solving problems.Sure there are, but daily, people complain of one problem or the other. Many rural communities are saddled with lots of problems ranging from electricity to communication, among others.
These are pointers that the existing companies are not solving the problems well enough or perhaps their marketing is terrible. That means there are lots of markets available for you.
Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) solved a problem, Bill Gates (Microsoft) did the same, even Dangote (Dangote Group), Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson Motors), and all the wealthy people you hear their names.
The roadside mechanic solves a problem, that Carpenter does the same.

If we young ones would be wealthy, we must learn to listen to conversations around us and also our experiences especially during this lockdown and find out what people are complaining about. Write them down and come up with solutions. Pick the best one and get moving.
Nnaeto while being honored by the University of Port Harcourt in 2015, admonished young persons to look at the brighter side of Nigeria and view it from a different perspective and be prepared to take the opportunities staring them in the face.
