Meet the 2016/17 recipients of my N10m 'I'd Rather Be Selfmade' project (photos)

I am extremely happy and proud to introduce the 16 recipients of my pet project, I'd Rather Be Selfmade. I officially started the Selfmade project in 2015 and these are the second set of girls to benefit from my yearly N10million grant to help finance small scale businesses for girls with ambition. Most of the girls from the last set are doing very well and I have high hopes for this set.

I will introduce them and their businesses individually here in the coming days so that you all can be part of their successes with your words of encouragement and also by patronizing their businesses. Let's all help each other as much as we can. See more photos after the cut...

If all the idiots, thieves and heartless politicians could use all the money meant to empower power people they were looting appropriately, Nigeria will be a better place for us all. Our ladies have taken the bull by the horn, men should also wake up to this call.@Linda and @Tonto may God continue to bless you and your likes....

I encourage you to keep doing these good deeds. Also, don't forget to help the orphans and street children. By the way, I think it's wrong for you to post graphic photos of the dead on your site. Even uk daily mail doesn't do that. It's also unnecessary for you to post photos of people's privates. Would you encourage the girls you speak to at those schools to do the same thing?
