Success, they say, is when preparation meets opportunity. But it may be a different story for Chukwuma Ezeh.

The young man shared on Twitter how he became a millionaire out of his wheelbarrows. He had not planned for this as he worked as a houseboy in Delta.

The idea came from a stranger whom Ekeh met at a market. The stranger identified as Boniface later turned out to be his partner in the business.

Ekeh said they started their new venture with six wheelbarrows and later grew to a point where they could employ people to help them the budding business.

They now boast of more than twenty employees who help in the day to day running of the business.

The business helped them invest in other businesses with the money made from the wheelbarrow enterprise.

"We started small with six wheelbarrows. I owned five. Boniface owned one. We charged our employees. They paid KSh 57 per day for renting the wheelbarrows. It seems small but out of it, we have created wealth," Ekeh said.

His story inspired many who went ahead to celebrate Ekeh and his friend.

"Many would have looked down on the KSh 57 made out of one wheelbarrow for a day, some will even call you small for venturing into such business, it takes a man with vision deep understanding of how money works to start such. Well done chief."
