Divide your salary by 30 days and see what you get (i.e. the number of days in a month and see the funny thing about your salary plan).

For example, an average level-12 worker in the state government civil service earns N60,000.

And this translates to N 60,000÷30= N 2,000 every day. This is less than the amount made daily by an average hawker in the city.

A freshly employed graduate banker in most Nigerian banks earns an average of N120,000 monthly.

So every day, you get N120,000÷30= N4,000 as the daily value for your work-life. By implication, this is less than the amount earned daily by an average driver in the city and in some villages.

If you are a fresh graduate employee in some oil companies, you earn an average of N300,000 monthly. So in a day your work-value is N300,000 ÷ 30= N10,000

This is less than the daily amount earned by an irrigation farmer supplying vegetables to Lagos markets, a tipper driver supplying sand for three block industries and construction sites just 3 times a day and drivers of Dangote trucks who have bought-off the trucks at scrap value and are using them to convey products between villages and the cities for just five business owners.

Hope by now, it is sinking in, right?

And when there is an issue in the family that requires financial assistance, the drivers, hawkers and the rest are looking up to you with a white collar job.

If you are an NYSC member, you don’t need to be told that:

N19,800÷30 = N660 is your worth on a daily basis.

I hope you know that pure water sellers who own a shop, a pepper soup joint and a small Toyota Corolla car to distribute pure water to five restaurants earn more than you and wheel-barrow pushers working on contract for three warehouses probably make more money than you each day.

Wake up and be more productive. We should be more proactive, create room for more income and strive to diversify our streams of income.

The earlier you wake up and smell the coffee, the better for you.

Someone right now will say this analysis is too ideal to be true but take your time and do it, you will grasp the crux!

Stop waiting for the government to feed you, feed yourself and help the government feed others. That is where we are in this age.

This writeup is so apt! Different streams of income makes one relax in the long run. At this age, cashing in on the internet advantage is wise. Millions are online, take advantage of any sustainable online business, stop being sceptical and missing out on opportunities.

Nice post! Just sit down and think about it now.

Life happens. What will become of you if you're fired from your job? If no other source of income, you're in trouble already.

Most of the salary earners have little or no time to run a business.

All the above example you mention spend almost 12-15hrs to get the daily incomes.

Passive source of income should be at the forefront of everyone's mind because if you don't find a way to earn while you sleep, you'll work till you die.

Second source for what?

For what exactly

Will that make me to be richer than Bill Gate and Mark Sukrabadge grin grin grin

You don't need a second source of income

What you need is a bigger dream and a higher stream of income

Just a single dream

A single dream like Microsoft, Facebook and Alibaba

A single dream like Nairaland

And when you make enough money, Investment can follow

Then your money will start working for you

What a simple problem I've solved

Nice one op. The day my eye opened was when I visited Alaba Market. An LED television repairer at Alaba makes more than #50k on a daily basis. The guy flashed a television within 15 minutes and collected 20k. Another guy that repairs the power pack it didn't take him 30mins and he collected 18k.

Extreme education OP
I hope the young ones can key into this school of thought. Just cos You sit in one office do not give you the right to look down on others plus you work men too, sit up, you earn far more than the so called salary earners!
