  2. If fed govt give me 3,000,000 i will buy a house jux a normal one to make it business house so that which business i will create for the youths that will benefit from it so that they can be indépendent so that they can be able to help them self and thier parents.

  3. if i happened to be given the said amount 3 million naira as stated,i will section the money into enterprenurship such as photography which i believe it is a lucrative business such that profit is made from it. Above all, part of the money will be aloted to farming ( irrigation farming) because most farmers concentrate on producing their farm product only during the raining season, while i want to use that opportunity to produce such crops to meet up with the customer demand even during the dry season.
