Tony Elumelu, the chairman of United Bank of Africa (UBA), says that luck has brought him to where he is today.

The billionaire via his Twitter page on Monday,  shared two essential ingredients one needs to be successful in life.

The tweet read, “Let me be clear: Luck is important, but it is not a substitute for hard work or labor.
Luck is a part of the cocktail that you need for success.

“There are two ingredients for luck -hard work and passion. The more work you put into something and the more passion you apply, the “luckier” you will find yourself.

The 59-year-old further said, “You have to work hard, and be passionate and committed about what you do, to be successful and make your own luck.

“Hardwork and passion are within your power and control, and you should apply them to earn your own luck and to help us foster a better and more prosperous world.”
