I got admission immediately after my sec sch. After service, I worked at a primary sch for a 10k job. Then got a job with land and survey but was let go sometime in 2015. I had already saved enough money. Now I have a fish farm,poultry farm and a bet9ja shop. I earn approximately 250-300 every week no jokes. Only my betshop gives me 180k-200k every week. I haven't looked for a job ever since. Not a millionaire yet but I will be in a giffy. God has been faithful!

In the early 90's - I sold zobo, kunu and meatpie. Went on to do sales rep (actually hawking) hair products from saloon to shops. Graduated into being one of the pioneer sellers of Chinco phones in Nigeria - I was into a lot of trouble this period as the phones would always break down within the week it was sold. Then I started to supply to sellers. I grew bigger and better in the business. I managed a big hotel (during NYSC). All the past experiences helped me build a multi business front today that is flourishing despite the economic downturn in the country.

Not easy at all. life never smile at me always throw a hard stone at me. Always give thanks to God Almighty for blessing me with good health because no matter how stressful the day went,I always wake up strong the following morning. life so difficult with me. if God as answered your prayer don't see others as a better or lazy we all have our own time factor...bad experience when i was pump attendance at AZKOL, nearly loss my arm that night, when armed robber visit the filling station.

Psoul:
Wen the road started getting very rough, I brought out the desktop computer in my house. I was able to get a Photocopying machine at the rate N178,000.
Used it to start a micro business center. I tried to make a very big difference from what are obtainable from other centers. My customer relations was powerful. As a graduate, many ppl will be shocked wen they enter the shop and tell me that they want to type or photocopy some documents and see that I am the one to attend to them. They will be like; Oga are u the one here?

My typing and speed was so fantastic with minimum area. Ple started patronizing me so much. They were even advertising for me especially the university undergraduates. They will tell others that u just go there, tell the man what u want and he will give u a perfect job. Many of them started leaving the University environment to look for me at my shop.
Soon, the shop became Project and Assignment center. They will bring their assignments, irrespective of the course, I will research on it and build up the assignment and collect my cash. Same with projects. They will supply their project topics and I will build up the whole projects. The center became so popular that i had to employ more hands.
I so much love the job then cos it made me to read so much and gathered so much information from so many different field of study as i was researchin for many students to make my money.

Many others like Barristers and Local Government high Officers even started patronizing my center due to the near perfection job and high level of confidence we exude.

I made so much money from the center and also was training people on computer. I compiled many handouts on MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Corel Draw etc which I sold to those I trained and also made my cash from there. My center became so popular.

This biz was a contribution to my success history.
Gud day bro, I am a chemical engineering 300l student but I want to enroll my self in web design and development skill in this semesterial break. How profitable is web design and what advice do you have for me?

Note:I already made strong 2.1 and it wouldn't be possible for me to make a first class again that's why I decided to channel my remaining strengths into a skill b4 my graduation

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.
God will soon crown your efforts with outstanding success. Just believe and persist
