Still not at the top. Have served mecine grin , worked as a store manager for 12k/month in trendy's, worked as a bar man in a hotel in Owerri, now on a job that pays me 55k after working for 5 years. I freelance too online and I hope to resign and set up a barbing saloon with my little savings, continue my freelancing and enroll for training on video editing. To be a man no funny at all.

having bagged a degree in chemistry from one of the prestigious Uni in Naija with strong grade, couldn't secure a job for sometimes, so I started making and selling liquid soap, and paint (painted house too), after doing that for a year, I got a job, as a medical rep, and exactly after one year doing that, I left the shore of my fatherland. I am not where I wanna be but I looked back in time, and I glorify the Lord. With every step I take, I am closer to my goal.

I need just 5 people that wanna learn how to make soap, paint etc to mention me and drop their emails.

This is my very tiny way of giving back and thanking Allah


Thanks

I taught kids for as low as 500N per month.
I worked in a bar. It was hella stressful. I've never had such a stressful job. I got so lean and pale.
I've worked as an house help. grin
I've served in parties, received all sorts of embarrassments. It wasn't easy.
I marketed goods on the roads of Lagos. grin
I presently use my crafts for sales. I'm not so buoyant, but then I'm thankful for how far I've arrived. It hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it.

In life, one has to be very rigid to make it. Cut away self doubts, shame and ego. None will take you no where. You also have to learn how to step out of your comfort zone.
I'm still hustling. I know I'll get there.

By the way, I've got some lovely Wigs for sale. Holla, please.

Sales boy, hawked DVD plates (I ended up watching all the movies myself, because people no buy lol), loaded rice and fertilizer on trailers at Apapa wharf, cleared grass with cutlass in a company, packed bird (fowl) droppings (shiit) in poultries, and so many yeye jobs till I eventually found Yah** which stopped me from committing suicide cheesy

Wait oh! Where are all the female monikers? No hustle or y'all just ashamed to say y'all fvcked for money (most of them are still in the olosho biz, anyway). Nothing dey inside na, it's all part of hustle.


Make una nor vex oh! Na joke smiley
