But if they are yet to break even, they must have good prospects for the near future. For instance, if an entrepreneur has raised a significant round of funding from investors, but is yet to turn a profit, he or she is of interest.” Said Mfonobong Nsehe Receiving about 800 nominations for the list, CEO of Hotels.ng, Mark Essien made the list alongside Uche Pedro of BellaNaija Blog, Abiola Olaniyan of Gamsole and 3 other Nigerians, 14 names on the list for this year were featured last year and 16 new rising stars to watch.
