A chance to get one million naira or meet Africa's richest man

Choosing between getting one million naira or a chance to spend a day with the African richest man could be an easy decision for many, due to the situation of the country and their level of understanding as to which is better between both. To me, it was a bit of a hard decision, but at the end I made up my mind, and I'll suggest you read through this article to know my choice and why.

Like I said earlier, one million naira might sound huge to the ear, but it isn't that much when you know its value in dollars. Still, it can go a long way in being used for some significant things for whoever gets it, and most people would literally choose the money over just getting to meet such a reputable man like Dangote.

Personally, I would have also loved to take the Money like most people would do, because I know it'll have a significant impact on my businesses to Stoke in one of two items or probably begin a new small business, but after a thorough consideration, I believe getting to meet Africa's richest man would be of more significant improvement to me than the cash.

Below are some of the reasons why I would rather spend a day with the African richest man than take a token of one million naira for free.

Knowledge/idea acquisition: Someone like Dangote, aside from being older than I am in age, Is also older and a successful businessman, and for one to be so successful till the point of being the richest man in the entire continent, it means he must have gone through loads of experience, like failure, difficulty, and the like, so getting to be with him would mean I could get to hear his story, understand how he overcame each phrase, and implement it in my own journey.

Network: The meeting will serve as an opportunity to build a connection with a man of his caliber, and certainly if our discussions go as I've planned, I'm certain he'll most likely recommend me to his other network of friends whose businesses relate to mine.

Investment/Support: Another benefit of getting to spend a day with the richest man in Africa is that he might most likely invest in me, my business, or my business idea, which would in the long run serve as an avenue to accumulate wealth that would, in the long run, exceed the assumed one million naira.

Getting to meet him will do a lot of good for my life, orientation, and finances, and I think I made the right choice in going for a meeting with Aliko Dangote for over a million naira, which is also valuable but would finish one day. The knowledge and experience I'll get from him can stand the test of time.

That's about all in my opinion on what I'll do between taking a million naira or spending a day with Africa's richest man. And it was an entry for the Hive Naija prompt.

Thanks for your time, stay bless.
