In 2004 when Freedom Ezeala tried to woo the woman whom he would eventually marry, introducing himself as a ‘gardener’, he got a scornful look and an outright ‘no’.
He persisted, assuring her his profession has a prospect of making him a millionaire.
Fifteen years now, not only did he win Ngozi Freedom’s heart, Mr Ezeala says he is now a millionaire. The couple now run the business together.
Currently, Mr Ezeala, who himself had horticultural training under an uncle of his in Lagos for years, said he has more than 54 staff under his payroll, having started the business with ₦150,000.
