"Why don't those 600 retrenched SABC employees also open up their own media house? It's time people started doing it for themselves. I love reading stories like these. Good for them."

"This is the future. Not whining about Zimbabweans being waiters and waitresses in white-owned restaurants. This is the bigger picture, owning the means of production."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian graduate has declared his intention to contribute to the country's food produce as he became a full-time farmer.
Ndifreke Gospel, who hails from Akwa Ibom state, read insurance and actuarial science at Imo State University said he is very passionate about the crop cultivation occupation.
But even at that, one wonders why he didn't pursue a career in insurance or something else.
In an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, Gospel said his desire to contribute his quota to the nation's food produce informed his decision to take up farming.
