According to Mr Eazi, at just 19 years old, he took one of the biggest risks of his life.
‎
‎Eazi borrowed ₦19 million (worth around £40k at the time) from his uncle — a doctor — to start a diesel supply business. The plan was to Supply MTN with fuel.
‎
‎But reality hit hard. 🚨
‎
‎At Apapa port, middlemen controlled the tank farms, adding their cuts. Eazi paid up, but then… the government suddenly deregulated fuel. Subsidies were removed, prices crashed, and the business collapsed.
‎
‎The ₦19 million he payed was Stuck for 3 months. By the time fuel was available again, the MTN deal was gone.
‎
‎💡According to Mr Eaz, Instead of giving up, that failure became one of the earliest lessons that shaped the entrepreneur we know today.
‎
‎ If you mistakenly blow up 19 million your uncle gave to you, how will the story end? 🎤ðŸ’
