Wittyness

You were lucky though, 5K job in 2000 is huge won't that amount to about 50K job today?

I was a job seeker that year also...

The only thing I don't beleive in the write up is when OP said he 'receieved a call'.

Then we usually checked back 1 week after...

Where you wan see money for phone?

Nice one

My first Job was 50Kobo per Month.

But look at where I am Today.

It's from Glory to Glory, Grace to Grace.

Skyview01, are you still in the accounting field in Nigeria?

Put it in context. I think PMS sold for N26 per litre at the time and dollar was N88. I could fill my fuel tank of 70 litres at the time for N1,820. My salary was N40,000.

5k then was reasonable.. These days,only transport to work in a week fit pass 5k... Leave motivational speakers make he carry people go where them no know.. One said he submitted resume to 50% if firms in lag.. Some people lie no get side mirrors at all for this forum ..

Your story will only make sense If you end up successful, there are people who did the same thing op did and didn't get much result. Those ones can't talk without people saying " and so? On top everything nko?"

Life

Time to hit the STREET with your gear ON.

Una funny o...JOB for this present day Nigeria..how much dem wan pay you ? 😂

You lost your job not your LIFE. You don't need a job, you need a business and side hustles that fetch you daily income.

No JOB in Nigeria...but theres work you can turn into a fulltime JOB.

Your kids can't inherit your job..(JUST OVER BROKE)...start something and scale it.....put your life into it.....

We are over 200 million Nigerians , sell to 1% of that population and smile to the bank.

Times have changed..you need start thinking radically.


Where do you reside currently, you'd need to roll up your sleeves and hit the ground running immediately.

If you are in Lagos or any of the cosmopolitan cities, you need some tools.

- Phone , internet , Laptop (not necessary) , facebook, instagram page, twitter, jumia, konga, facebook marketplace, jiji , etc.

List your products on those platforms..You can start with 100k - 1M...

- go and learn how to run ads (facebook , instagram , google ads , SEO )

- know how to take good pictures.

- use a good logistics company for deliveries.

Enter street, look for big time importers, negotiate with them. Tell them you will bring customers and sell thier products very fast.

One of the hot products i started out with and grew it to a 6 figure business > >

Not just money...

You will build your confidence.
Your influence will grow, and...
You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself.
You need to start operating smartly.

Stay safe.

The last three paragraphs, therein lies the secret of your message. God bless and increase you

Those were good old days when all you to do is to go to school, these days it's a different story.

Who called you in 2000? In year 2000 in your situation I doubt you could afford a GSM phone back then so how did they call you sir?

Mobile phones weren't popular in 2000 na?

Yes I know the story is not about mobile phones but hey, just let us know as e dey go since you wan motivate.

Elcemento:
You got a call in year 2000? We didn't have GSM in year 2000, we had very expensive mobile cellular services which i doubt you could afford, judging from your story. For the sake of genuineness, please change the year you quoted above.Thanks.

GSM came 1999

The power of connecting the dots.
