tspun: I MADE MY FIRST MILLION NAIRA @ AGE 23. i started hustling very early because of jamb WAHALA. When i was 20 i had already wrote jamb twice without fruition. i relinquished the hope of writing more, so i lied to my parent that i had gained admission in delta state polytechnic ozoro, because the town had already being too boring for me, all my guys had left for school, so they [ my parent ] prepared my stuff and gave me money so i left for ozoro with my laptop...

to cut the story short, i followed my friend to school one day, when they were receiving lecture i decide to take a walk around the school so i found my way to the photographers stand.i met a photographer After much introduction and discussion we came to a conclusion that i am to be his editor. [ knowledge i had jokingly acquired from my elder sister's fiance back then in warri].

the next day i came with my lappy and the work started, [that was the era digital knew came in 2008] so graphic designers were scares then. tru him other people and photographers get to know me, i started editing marriage album, flex, posters, banners and doing other miscellaneous work for student with my lappy.

i became very busy, at the end of the year i discover i had almost 400 thousand in my account in addition to the once my parent were sending me thinking i was a student.

One day i was discussing with a photographer and he was complaining how they all travel to warri to do all their printing of enlargement and the framing,saying if he had the graphic knowledge i had he would have borrowed money and buy a printing machine for enlargement.

As a sharp igbo boy that i was i took that discussion as an advice. so i travel to met my sister's fiance and told him about the business plain.He agreed to be a partner in the business. so i gave him my 400k and he add the remaining part of the money and we traveled to lagos together to buy the machine.

And since then a million naira had been less of a deal to me.
AND THAT WAS IT, MY SUCCESS STORY.even though i later gain admission in 2010 i never stop thanking jamb for disappointing me when i needed them most. i never thought @ 25 i will be a car owner living in my own building, everything was just divine arrangement from GOD.
Op thanks for taking me back to memory lane.

SupermodelVicky: I made myn at an early age thru business.My mum owns a shop where sh sells different products&Combined wit her busy work at her office,her then manager used 2go abroad 4d shopping.Later d biatch stole frm my mum&ran away.My mum got stuck&cudn't run d biz but refused 2close it cos sh had many customers.Then out of nowhere,sh decided teach me d biz so as 2run her shop.Sh took me 2Dubai&Turkey&also taught me how 2place order 4goods on line frm Italy;US;UK&China.

Wen I finally got in2 sch,chicks started likin wot I put on cos my 1st year,I lived in d hostel (parents insisted).So wot I did was wen I travel 2shop 4mumsy's shop,I shop 4thngs&sell in sch.I started dealing on hair products,make ups(marykay;mac&sleek),jeweries,footwears,inner wears;sexy nighties;cloths,perfumes;handbags;wallets;travellin bags;wristwatches;designer eyeglasses&so on.U'l b amazed how much students spend 2look good.Selling women stuff wil mak u rich cos al women do is get money frm guys&spend.

A dress/footwear u buy at less than $5,u sell them for 4/5k so calculate d gain.As long as d thngs u'r selling ar fine&of good quality,they'l sell&because I wasn't payin 4shop,or tickets or hotels cos I did my own shopping wen I go 2shop 4mumsy's shop so I wasn't spending my money&also because I hav vry good taste;my goods sold lik crazy.My mum was vry impressed wit my business mind so sh encouraged me.Sh used 2pay 4d cargo.Wen I took ova her shop,d biz grew tremendously(mayb because I carry d favour aura).I brought a youthful touch in2 her biz.I even opened another branch in d spirit of expansion&consulted an auditor who gav us ideas on how 2prevent d staff frm stealing&does our auditin thrice a yr.

Long Story short;Ppl started contacting frm frm evry angle even outside d state I'm based.Al I do is 2parcel d goods 2dem but they pay 4dat though.

If u sell original thngs,u'l definately go far.A customer might go somwhere&somone wil c wot sh's puttin on&ask where sh bought it then sh'l giv d persn my no&i'l tel her wen d product wil b available.Its al abt God's favour;hardwork&determination.As God may hav it;I made good grades in sch but d disadvantage is dat I neva had a social life&d stress gav me ulcer.

I'v said enuf 4one day.2b continued

Please can I get your contact? I'm interested in your line of business, though I'm gainfully employed, but I have this itch to do something more for myself. My e-mail address is adefolaadetu@yahoo.co.uk

I think i made mine when i was 19. but wasnt up to 1 million. i made about 800k while working in a cafe and computer maintenance, between SS3 and 2 years of searching for university admission, but i had to settle for poly. Now i have spent most of it on school and one land investment i made. all in all i thank Almighty God.
