    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.
