Date was Wednesday April 25, 2018
Venue was the Sapele L.G Secretariat Hall in Delta state on day 2 of a 3 day Youth (90% female attendees!) Conference on Vocational Skills Acquisition organized by. B.H,F Foundation. The interest level was quite impressive.
Now, I LOVE to keep things real…We are Africans. What we do must be based on our socio-economic realities. No phony stuff!

I told the youths how I developed the drinks making process in Calavi – Benin Republic, weeks after arriving in that country and sleeping for several days on the streets of Cotonou and Porto Novo.
I pointed out the fact that THAT experience of suffering was a key factor that led me to think up the idea of using waste peels I saw everywhere, to make drinks for sale.
Another thing I told them was that unlike the other 2 micro businesses taught by my colleagues (liquid soap & bleach making + Ankara bag/shoe making) the raw materials needed to make drinks for sale using my method are 100% FREE: Pineapple peels (which any vendor would gladly give to you) and water.
In other words, if you lack money, THIS is one venture you can easily start – NO EXCUSES.
You can borrow every other item needed to make the drinks e.g. pots, stove etc.
What’s more, you can also drink it at home (and use it to entertain your guests) thereby saving yourself money you currently spend buying drinks sold commercially.

This FREE Talk on Drinks Making is a Public Service Inititiative I’m Implementing it in line with the ideas I advocate for adoption in My Report titled “Schooling is a Means to an End, and NOT An End In Itself.”
Here are some excerpts from it…
“My experiences convince me I MUST empower my kids as early as possible in life to KNOW how to MAKE MONEY and to NOT need a job, to achieve success in life.”
“No matter how (academically) brilliant a person is, unless s/he knows how to DO SOMETHING (legitimate) that will make society pay him/her money in enough amounts to meet his/her neeeds at any point in life, s/he will struggle not only to survive, but in a society like Nigeria, to get RESPECT from others. “
“Our schools teach too much book based subjects that have little to do with what learners are going to face in the real world of society. In addition they hold on too long to the kids with mundane activities.”
“Further proof that the points I make in this report about the inadequacy of formal schooling are valid can be seen from the fact that NYSC Orientation now includes admonishing graduates in their service year to LEARN a trade.”
