What Celebrities told HipTv BRANDY " Let me be remembered for timeless music, being an inspiration to people because that’s what it’s all about. Music is about moving people and bringing a certain feeling into someone’s life and that’s what I want to be remembered for". Watch  M.I. "People always think that when you make, like if you're making a hundred thousand naira and you start making a billion naira, it changes, it doesn’t change, it’s the same thing you know what I mean. You save about the same amount of money, if you're someone that with a hundred thousand you could save thirty thousand out of a hundred thousand naira, when you have a million naira you probably save a hundred thousand you know? But it doesn’t really change, life is the same so whoever you are. My message is I guess wherever you are be happy, if you're happy be happy." Watch  PAT UTOMI "Everyday when I talk to young entrepreneurs they say to you that the problem is access to capital and I try to remind entrepreneurs that its true that we have a dearth of access to funds in Nigeria, but its probably one of the last phases where we don’t still see the business. The most important is the great idea that creates value. Identify that thing that creates value that bridges that dissatisfaction gap, somehow you're likely to find the money." Watch
