tonychristopher:Bro you seem hell bent on everyone being self employed! If everyone is self employed who will do the work meant for others to do?. You fail to note that not everyone has entrepreneur skills. Some people are fashion to work for others while others are fashion to work for themselves. The stuff you sell I guess it is someone who buys them right? Salary is not slavery so stop saying that. Everybody has their gift and calling, what I advice people to do is discover their talent and market it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

XketchDesigns:C'mon bro! No graduate wants to spend their entire lifetime installing dish. It's always a temp job! Besides, if the installer ends up being a dealer, he becomes the boss. Go to any Dstv dealer's office and see the number of people they employ. Sometimes people tend to move away from their choosen career and then end up with a different thing entirely. Pastor Adeboye is a good example. From a lecturer to a Pastor. Can you imagine that? 1 Like |

XketchDesigns:Bros, you still don't get it! Everybody cannot be Steve Jobs or Bill Gates! They had the opportunity and they utilised it to the maximum. They had garage that's why they could start from there! How about those who don't? Having a garage in this context simply means, having the required resource(s) to discover their potential and achieve their dreams. Many people get the same opportunity but in a different way, but their arrogance and way of thinking(like yours) won't let them use it. You gotta start from somewhere, not necessary ground level, maybe somewhere in between. 2 Likes |

joseph1832:yes I think you are right, not everyone can and will be a business owner ,but my submission is that ppl must and should try to upgrade themselves and add more skills and knowledge to the ones they have. When they do this ,they themselves become the product people will be scrambling to buy, there is a nigerian professor in australia and many universities in europe and usa flies him in to give lectures on certain subjects and courses. Ppl should not have a laid back attitude to life that once I am a graduate that is all,keep on updating ur knowledge and skills .there are many nigerian doctors in trinidad and tobago doing very well and working for the govt, also many in kuwait and saudi arabia they are not business owners but the knowledge in their brain is a product many countries will pay millions to employ. |

totoakins:you misunderstood the op totally. So many hard working people are poor and broke but if you are hard working in nigeria,no matter how broke or poor the person is he will feed and clothe himself comfortably,and still have some change in his pocket. But if someone is healthy without any physical deformities and yet is broke and poor after a certain grace period then the person is lazy that is what the op was trying to say. Why should an able body man be at home for 2 years doing nothing and only submitting application letters for salary jobs when he can learn how to drive in just a month and get a driving job until he decides what to do and how to go about it. Whatever ur hand findeth to do just do it .that is what the op is saying. 2 Likes |

Education is considered by many Nigerians to be the gateway to success and the passport to a better life. Debunking this myth that one cannot be successful without a university education are these successful Nigerians who have been able to survive life's challenges and cross the hurdle of formal education to become who they are today. Take a look at some of Nigeria's must successful individuals who didn't have university degree. Cosmos Maduka Cosmos Maduka - If you are a lover of cars; then you are certain to have heard the name Cosmos Maduka. He is the founder of Coscharis Group, which is the sole distributor of BMW vehicles in West Africa. He dropped out of elementary school and became an apprentice at a tender age of seven. Today; he sits as one of the biggest conglomerates that Nigeria can boast of. Folorunsho Alakija Folorunsho Alakija - Ranked not only as Nigeria's richest woman, according to Forbes ratings, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija is Africa's richest woman. The billionaire who as at 2012 is estimated to be worth $2.5 billion revealed recently that she never attended a university. She made this revelation at the United Nations International Youth Day held at University of Lagos. Olorogun Michael Ibru Olorogun Michael Ibru - Olorugun Michael Ibru is the founder of Ibru Organization which is one of the largest conglomerates in Nigeria and head of one of the richest families in Nigeria. He is a prominent Nigerian businessman who has only a school certificate to his name, he graduated from Igbobi College, Lagos in 1951. Razaq Akanni Okoya Razaq Akanni Okoya - A Nigerian billionaire industrialist, he is the founder of Eleganza Group which has a marketing span across West Africa. Lack of a proper education was not a barrier to Razaq Okoya in his quest for success. He had his only formal education at Ansar-un-deen primary School, Okepopo, Lagos. Vincent Obianobo Vincent Obianobo - The name Vincent Obianobo might not sound familiar but you must have heard of his transportation company, "The Young Shall Grow Motors." He is also the owner of Rockview Hotels and his transport company is supposedly the largest in Nigeria. This astute businessman had a humble beginning but little education but today, he is one of Nigeria's most successful businessmen. Orji Uzor Kalu Orji Uzor Kalu - He is the billionaire founder of SLOK Holding as well as the founder of Daily Sun and New Telegraph Newspapers. He was rusticated from the university for participating in a students' protest. The university later reconsidered its decision and he was called back but he rejected the offer and ventured into entrepreneurship. Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande - He was a journalist who became governor of Lagos State in Nigeria from 1979 to 1983. He was also Minister of Works under the Sani Abacha military regime. Lateef Kayode Jakande was born at Epetedo area of Lagos Island on July 23, 1929. He studied at the Lagos public school at Enu-Owa, Lagos Island, then at Bunham Memorial Methodist School, Port Harcourt (1934�43). He studied briefly at King's College in 1943 and then enrolled at Ilesa Grammar School in 1945 where he edited a literary paper calledThe Quarterly Mirror.

Looking up to start your own business is the sure ticket to live the life of your dream. There is great difference between an employee and employer. The time you are wasting here and there looking for office or white collar job can be converted to look inward and identify your potentials and God-given talents which you can transform into at least for a start "7 Figure Income Business Empire" You will see your boss making 200Million in a single deal or contract while the dude will use you to execute the task and pay you a miserable N50,000 in a month. even if you are 5 in his payroll, it still N250K. you are being leveraged by your boss and he uses you and sees you as part of his investment. This scenario is a practical experience of what i witnessed with a friend in a company not a story. This is a reality, I mean a true life story. This boss refer to his staff as his "tools" you are unique being and you are not expected to settle for less. choosing to be an employee will make you suffer from a capped income, you can imagine not having any capacity to increase your level of income for more than 3 to 4 years unlike when you choose the entrepreneurship path that allows you to grow, expand your tentacle and increase your income at will. instead of working like a slave for anyone, there are more than 500 Ways To Make Money from home if you can afford a laptop and an internet connection, far from fraudulent task but legitimate online businesses like Seun Osewa is doing on Nairaland, Akin Alabi on Nairabet, Linda Ikeji and many other doing legitimate online businesses across the globe. If you can read and write, you can type and send message on facebook, twitter, instagram and so on. there is nothing holding you back for not making the "7 Figure Income" even without working for any boss and rather be your own boss by doing what you love while earning consistent income without facing daily traffic or working with any heartless boss paying you peanuts not even enough to pay for 2 bed room apartment rent in Lagos, PH or ABJ let alone of thinking of building your own business, building your dream home or going on vacation abroad or to Obudu Catle ranch right here in Nigeria If you are tired of living a mediocre life and want to take charge of your life without any regret, i think it's high time you join the league of money maker and start earning your "7 Figure Income" as fast as possible with lot of available opportunities under your nose which you are yet to identify and utilize to your own advantage. Being rich is your birth right and you are born to be rich except you choose otherwise. Guys, wake up from your slumber and do away with those your tiny dream. I have seen poor people still staying at a job where the boss is owing them 5 months salaries, i guess you don't doubt this, if you do, it means you are living under the rock because we have heard in a national TV that some states are owing their workers 7 months salaries. WHY, don't you know that "You Were Born To Be Rich" or is it the poor mindset or not having a big dream. Anyway, If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. anyhoo, if you want to know how to start making money and create multiple streams of income, check out my 10 FREE Ways To Make "7 Figure Income Online And Offline" right here https://newsmartfolk.sendlane.com/view/money-making |
