With a little capital you can make millions in Nigeria if you are business smart

Fisheries and hydrobiology departments in universities should make him a visiting lecturer. Many of us were first class in theory but third class in field practicals.

This guy is a great business man, not just in Nigeria or Africa but in Europe. It's not easy to find someone with a successful business model who is willing to partner and share their busess model and expertise.

This man has a good heart. He needs to set up a classroom in Abuja or sulaja for people to learn like a college so there is continuity.

Mr Wily, i once worked together with him on a USAID project 🇳🇬 more than 7 years ago. He is a very straightforward and sincere man. No doubt he has impacted and mentored many fisheries graduates and allied professionals in Nigeria.

The legendary Mr. Willy remains one of the most profound inspirations in my life. Fish farming is far more than a profession; it is a lifestyle. His unwavering commitment to the growth and success of those under his mentorship is unparalleled.
Watching this video filled my heart with immense joy, especially as someone who had the privilege of being mentored by him back in Nigeria. Though I am now in the United States, his teachings on life, hard work, and dedication continue to guide and shape me every day.

I like Mr. Willy's sense of humor, matches his wealth of knowledge.

Great conversation. Once one gets sucked into the authentic Nigerian lifestyle, it's difficult to leave. Willy is doing great. I like a traditional family life too.

Pls don’t be disappointed. There are only two types of people; bad or good! We have bad and good everywhere. You will do partnership with your fellow black brother only for him to be planning to take over everything. I love my black people but I hate bad people; be it black or white. At least we had some white people who fought alongside with blacks to stop slavery and oppression. This man here did not come to exploit; he is our brother. He actually came to work and add value to the community. Not like the ones that wants to exploit our resources and give us 0.0025%. Evil people.

Willy is the kind of Westerner who's welcome in Africa. He has a clear mind and his heart is in the right place. 👍🏾

Mr Willy is very honest and full of humor. He understands the Nigerian system, a country he's come to accept for the good, bad, and ugly. I love the fact that he is enjoying his old age and enjoying what he loves to do. Kudos to his family for their support.
