While many persons are complaining about how paltry a sum the npower stipend payment is, there are many persons who are effectively utilizing the money and turning their lives around for good. That is the case of Mr. Ochogwu Emmanuel a graduate of Benue state university. According to Mr Ochogwu Emmanuel who shared his story with the senior special assistant to the president on job creation Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede and his team, he graduated from Benue State University way back 2011 and until the npower scheme came along, he was unemployed and asking for money from his siblings before he could recharge his phone.In the video below, he explains how he was able to change his life with the npower stipend payments he received, and we include some highlights that might benefit you in this post.
All attempts at getting a job have failed woefully as corruption and nepotism which have eaten deep into the fabric of our system were his bane. It is no wonder that he explains that the first time he received the npower stipend payment of thirty thousand naira (N30,000), it felt like Davido's thirty billion in the account. The initial urge was for him to use the money to get a smart phone with which he can chat and twit, but he was able to successfully resist the urge. He used the npower stipend payment as a basis for assuring his friends and family of his ability to repay any reasonable loan he takes from them. That was how he raised the money (via loan) to start up a poultry farm. His poultry farm is growing and serves as a testament to the fact that despite the gross inadequacy of the npower stipend payment, the npower stipend payment can still be very useful in servicing your future if you but discipline yourself. As Jim Rohn will say, it is not the amount that matters, it is what you do with it. The carpenter from galilee was in unanimous agreement with this when he said: "For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
