1) they steal our money (government officials)
2) Most work in ExxonMobil and Chevron Texaco and hold managemnet positions in these companies. They are also "expatriates" , most of them studied abroad, then worked for sometime and then came back to Nigeria and are hired by MNC at disgusting amounts of money
3) They work in our failing banks in positions such capacities as MD/CEO
4) Old Money (Yes we have some of them in Nigeria who started the stealing and looting quite early such as the Ibrus and Abebes (Stella obasanjo family)

e.t.c

Yep inequality in Nigeria is just mind-boggling. Abeg you should return quickly and go and chop your own money. Nothing dey obodo-oyinbo that cannot be matched.

However have humility, and be friendly with everyone because you dont know who will help you.

Multinational corporations- they are the only ones willing to pay huge sums of money

Well then why were you asking? Me neither actually. But if you do- just know that in Nigeria Luis Vuitton is for the middle class in Nigeria and Ralph lauren for the lower classes.

buzugee:

I'd rent if possible rather than buy. Not sure it makes sense to tie down lots of capital?

SEFAGO:

Me, die for Nigeria? Musta confused me for some other dude. Not even willing to take a pay cut for Nigeria, at least this early in my career   Name of the game for the next 15-20 years is accumulation of wealth.

lol @ Ralph Lauren for the lower classes.

Too showy for me. I'm in some sort of generic t-shirt I bought from Target right now

Funny thing 10-15 years ago ajah and the lekki area was a swamp. VI and Ikoyi was where the rich people lived. Then due to overpopulation in these areas (Where do Nigerias honestly get money to pay for these stuff?) rich people moved to lekki phase 1. Some smart people bought large amounts of land in the deep parts of Lekki and Ajah and then property boom just came along and they made a killing, setting up real estates.

Like land was going in the Lekki-Epe area for as low as N150,000-200,000 per plot and then is currently in the high millions. Imagine the perspicacious people who bought those worthless plots of land.

some hotels cost 100k per night on that axis. on top sey i want sleep.which kind sleep that one.

i need to learn how to sew and make clothes. in naija i will be wearing my own designs. i will only travel to london for shoes but all my clothes will be made by me. maybe i should learn how to make shoes too ?? hmmm. those will be excellent skills to have i tell ya.

That is my general impression. . . real estate speculation and property development seems to be one of the better things to do in nigeria. Based mostly on what I've seen in Abuja though; I'm not familiar with the Lagos market.

Hrm. So you'd be a designer? And sell your products to existing stores?

no not for profit. to make clothes for myself to wear. someone said ralph and louis vuiton were the things that middle class and lower class people wore. so i am trying to be different by wearing my own creations.
