This is the very problem of the present day Nigerian youth. They believe that the government is denying them something that is stopping them from becoming self dependent.
First off, government does not provide you with drive to be self sufficient, neither does 6 figure salary does that. Looking yourself in the mirror and taking tough decisions does this.
Again, good grades does not mean anything in the world of wealth creation. For the best, it enables one to raise initial capital to start up something.
Finally, there is something inherently wrong with the mindset that makes one to place higher value on a bank manager than that guy to goes out each money to Ladipo market on ragged jeans and t-shirt. Most of those boys in Idumota and Ladipo became millonairs before they turned 20 under their boss by saving from their feeding allowance and other many legit means. They strive for 50 million and above after being set free and they are independent, self sufficient and bouyant. But the society laugh at them as 'hustlers'
I had a hard time convincing my friend to take up his dad's lucrative auto spare parts biz in Abakaliki. This guy studied mechanical engineering but feel that bank job is the place. Today, he is doing as well as his only class mate that works in Total.
There are many start up software coys in the country today. I know one formed by UNN electrical engineering graduates of the same class and they do do projects for the major telcos. The took the tough option, denied themselves of some initial pleasure and today, they are doing better than most oil coy workers.
All these people are all in Nigeria, the same environment and the same opportunities. I can't seem to see what the government did differently for them.

Rubbish!!! So development and job creation has now become a 'bolekaja' uncoordinated approach? Then we do not need development programmes and projects around the world, let everyone go and hustle and bring something out. However, we know this is absolutely impossible, there is the need for a conscious and coordinated approach to problem-solving given the magnitude of the unemployment crisis which Nigeria faces. I can take 10%, 15% or even 20%, however, in our case we have 50% unemployed with many more underemployed, it means the economy is not just working and there is a need for a properly coordinated programme to solve the crisis.

Listen to yourself, "I know one, I know one", of course in a situation like this, one lucky one will always come out, however, like I stated earlier, to solve the crisis demands a coordinated approach directed by leadership and not this 'bolekaja' approach which will always produce one. We want many and not one!!!

But how do you do it, when Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trillion run.

I understand how you feel as i appreciate that sucess is not meant for everybody. Some people must be salary earners.
Entrepreneaurs actually thrive on tough and inadequate environment. Tell me how exactly the government aided Mark's sucess in his facebook coy.
Some of you critics are wasting your time and talent. You need to focus what you can do with your time to create wealth, insulting GEJ and Ngozi doesn't just do that for you.
Yes, government provides the environment for entrepreneurs to create wealth by introducing tax regimes and proper business climate but the society need youths with guts to stick out their necks and take business risks. Government doesn't create jobs, they provide the right environment and that environment is presently making many people rich. That is wealth creation.
Presently, we have a favorable business tax regime and lots of waiver which foreigners are taking advantage of while the Nigerian youth is busy criticizing government. This is a failure on the part of Nigerian youth, not the government. The same way our inability to win medals in olympics is a marked failure of this generation of youths.
Lebanese youths, Chinese youths, Indian and Pakistani youths and very many other nationals are here making money and taking advantage of waivers and Nigerian youths are here insulting the GEJ and carrying files for these foreigners to employ them.

Rubbish again!!! Strike out India, Pakistan and Lebanon from those your countries, those countries are equally as horrible as your Nigeria. For the Chinese, China has a conscious programme to create jobs for its large population. For example, there is the China Development Bank with a capital base of over $600 billion. The main objective of this bank is to target and finance development projects across China and it is doing this effectively. Again this Bank aids finance for Chinese entities and development projects in foreign countries. For example, there is the China Africa development fund under this bank aimed at finance for development projects in Africa. The China-Africa development fund is one of the sources of finance for the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Now this fund gives them a good means to hold foreign currency reserves, prevent an appreciation of the RMB yuan and thus attract labour intensive FDIs to meet the employment needs of their large population. Now you see where coordination comes into problem solving, it is not a 'bolekaja' approach.

Now on Mark and the US. The US can produce and continues to produce millions of Marks. Did they just drop from the sky? There is an environment, a taken-for-grantedness of certain rituals and routines of leadership behaviour which has been built in by leaders in that country. The truth is every country has millions of talents, however, except there is a conscious programme and accompanying projects to tap these 'Marks', you will only continue to produce "one lucky one'.

I say this because I have worked and I am still working in this environment and I understand how leaders are developed in this environment. From my very Junior days at work, I had been made to undergo various trainings on leadership. I was also made to work as part of specialist teams to find ways of improving processes within our work place which was not part of my function. What this did to me was it developed a questioning attitude in my day-to-day life. This is how leaders are produced in large numbers and not the "lucky one" approach to leadership and entrepreneurial development.

9. Deal And Communicate With People Effectively: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.
Successful people develop and nurture a network and they only do that by treating people openly, fairly and many times firmly. There is nothing wrong about being firm – just don’t cross the a-hole line. How do you deal with people?

Someone posted this earlier and I picked interest in it. This is what I had to learn and I still have to learn daily on my job. Today there is a 'taken-for-grantedness' of these routines and rituals in me. I see people and I give them that fake smile, it is now a part of me. Ultimately, there is a 'spill-over' of these routines and rituals in the larger society. This is how leaders are produced in large numbers in these societies, it is not 'bolekaja'.

Will you say Jona and Ngozi have done enough to motivate and develop potential leaders and entrepreneurs when they have vamoosed with N5 trillion?

how exactly does this strategy help a youth who does not know how to write a business plan? People are making it in this country. When Mark's idea mature, he sat on the boad of his young coy with clear idea of where he was heading to and took some financing decisions, including employing some US graduates to achieve this.
Bank of Industry is there for industrialists. If you want to test my logic, find out how many youths that have really approached these banks with smart plan and meet the procedures for accessing credit line but failed. Majority of the Nigerian youth will prefer to dismiss BoI as government propaganda without doing any work to test the usefulness of the information he has. That way, they feel that the blame goes back to the government, not them.
How many Nigerian youths have really shown interest in farming and accessing the already active credit lines and facilities by taking farming as a business.
It is easy to blame another person for ones failures.
Here in Nigeria, there are many smart Nigerian young people who can write codes or design websites. How many have the discipline to articulate their business plan and talk about financing. Some complain that their business plans are being stolen by banks. To me, this would have made them millions if they took the right decision. What happened to involving responsible lawyers at the right time and squeezing the balls of that bank dry?
Nothing good comes easy. Many want easy, monthly stipend because it is easy. Few want to take risks. These totally depends on individuals, not government!

Rubbish for the 3rd time. Who says Nigerian youths are not doing enough even with the criminal environment which they find themselves? They are everywhere, from Otukpo, to Abagana, to Alaba, to Maiduguri, to Kano, to Owerri and even to the hills of Obudu, Nigerian youths are trying their best to bring out something from this very harsh environment. Please do not insult them even whilst stealing their collective wealth. There is a limit to where their efforts will ultimately lead as it takes a coordinated approach to building these potential entrepreneurs to realise their ultimate potential.

Who says Nigerian youths are not engaged in agriculture? However, from what I know about agriculture, a large input of labour relative to machine input could be a signal that it is still being run using obsolete technologies. The number of people we have engaged in agriculture in Nigeria today is more than enough! However, they cannot simply produce enough given the very obsolete technological input put to agricultural output in Nigeria.

na wah ooo me tıre for these kınd post oo

Gbam!

Well spoken and noted...

I am 26 and a millionaire and I worked hard to get where I am. me being and British based economist. I have never stole and to top it off I have a strong Christian background.AND AS YOU SEE MY I AM NOT A BAST ARD I HAVE NOT SOLD ANY PROPERTY INHERITED TO ME AND I WILL NOT.

alabiyemmy:

I dont think any school system in the world teaches innovation or creativeness. Ask Bill Gates, ask the guys at Google or even ask Mark himself.

How can any Nigerian youth be innovative when an average youth believes he cant do anything worthwhile with himself unless he travels abroad, or unless he has someone in high places. with such minds, how can they be innovative or creative?

However, it is wrong on the part of the writer to conclude that no Nigerian youth can be a millionaire at the age of 24 legitimately - such conclusions further brings down the psyche of the youth when they are being told by those who should know better that they cant succeed.

Most will blame it on leadership - but then, is it the government that will make you broaden your mind to see endless possibilities laid before you? I like the writer to read books on success and succeeding in life. It has nothing to do with age but on how you are able to use your mind.

With such assumptions above, an average youth is already consigned to a never do well thought process. Guys, you can make it if you want.

With no offence meant..ur comment really lacks understandin on d subject matter..nx time,pls think twice,or beta still,read 2ce
@op,gr8 post..its nt hard 2 sense persons like u who mean well..keep it up

you dont sound like you're british based or finished school, just saying.

Nice write up. But you can make it at 24 in a just way. I'm 25 years old, and I made my first million at 21 in a just way.

@post.
Pray make your head carry you reach where your blessing de. Seen examples that prove that its not all about grade, corruption, unemployment issues etc...
How many mark zulberg do they have †here sef?
Govt in Nigeria is failing in its responsibilities but its not only about being a young millionaire

big grammer for nothing

have you read the op well??books will help you in a normal society,what the op is saying is that,our political elites destroy the system.making it had for the youths,no amount of books you will read will save you in a country were banks doñt give loans or if they do,its at 25% and only to their friends,now tellme how to start??please we need help from our politicians.thats the answer

Well said, until the nigerian youths rise up and begin to demand for a better system to be put in place, the status quo will continue to remain the same, i agree with the writer in that Nigeria has great minds in her youth, the people are a resource, the youths are the future of tomorrow.. China became the country she is today NOT because she has natural resources but because her government invested greatly in the minds of its people and see the wonders they are today..

It bleeds my heart every day to see how the minds of our youths are wasting away, the system has unfortunately taught our youths the quick and corruptible way of getting easy cash, and this hierarchy of a system has been passed down from our thieving governments to the youth, this is why yahoo is on the rise, unrest, rebel groups etc Only a few will be lucky enough to make it as millionaires before the age of 30 years based on hard work.

very nice piece I must say, it should stand as a wakeup call for the Nigerian youth "To pull one-self up by one’s own boot straps" rather than the usual "siddon look" or "traveling abroad" attitude but as much as I agree that corporate organizations and advertising agencies should take the challenge of propelling the youths towards achieving self reliance government should do more in creating the enabling environment.

Very insightful read, truth is Nigeria does not have a business friendly environment that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship so its hard to become a millionaire without ressorting to illegitimate means or entertainment (if ur very lucky) as pointed out by the poster. Plus I think the company that had that slogan for better rethink their campaign strategy. Those words are more likely to put me off a product.

Getting to 1 million USD in net worth by age 29 is quite impressive. Very difficult to do unless you have some sort of inherited wealth.

alabiyemmy: Dont let anyone who has failed in life tell you you cant make it at 24. Dont listen to such thrash.

At what age did you become a millionare and how? Instead of copying down a textbook of motivation junk, tell us exactly what to do legitimately to make it at age 24. How many engineering graduates from harvard or yale are working in banks? The writer is pointing out a serious systemic flaw and you are busy copying and pasting motivation or rather consolation cliches. Do you think the Op hasnt read those articles you are quoting? Do you think without an enabling environment creativity can thrive? Be busy reading motivation books while politicians and their stooges loot your common wealth. Many creative artists in Nigeria are wallowing in pernury today due to lack of government will to seriously enforce the copyright protection laws. Are there enforceable patent laws in Nigeria? I know a couple of young self-made millionares, but the question is how did they make it? How many people under the age of 30 are commissioners, LG Chairpersons, in the state or Federal Assemblies? At what age did Gowon rule Nigeria? At what age was Maitama Sule appointed a Federal Minister and what was his educational qualification then? Keep enjoying your mummy's food.

vivian chinaza: Nice write up. But you can make it at 24 in a just way. I'm 25 years old, and I made my first million at 21 in a just way.

You MADE it at 21 in Nigeria without someone pulling strings for you or laying the foundation stones for you? In a JUST way? Please tell us how my dear.

anulaxad: I am 26 and a millionaire and I worked hard to get where I am. me being and British based economist. I have never stole and to top it off I have a strong Christian background.AND AS YOU SEE MY I AM NOT A BAST ARD I HAVE NOT SOLD ANY PROPERTY INHERITED TO ME AND I WILL NOT.

My man your 'flawless' command of the English language makes your assertion dubitable! Come off your dreamland professor of Economics. When you attain age 30 and you are yet to gain admission to study that your dream course- ECONOMICS, you will then learn to be serious when a burning fundamental issue like this is being discussed. Keep dreaming.

obyrich: You MADE it at 21 in Nigeria without someone pulling strings for you or laying the foundation stones for you? In a JUST way? Please tell us how my dear.

You really wanna know? Ok, nobody laid any foundation for me. I worked, that was even before I gained admission into the university.

Have you ever heard of GBARAN-UBIE INTEGRATED OIL AND GAS PROJECT? It is the biggest Gas plant project in West Africa if I'm not mistaking and its located in Bayelsa state. I was part of the crew that built it .... The phase one of it and its up and running now and its being run by SPDC. Phase two is kicking off soon too and if God wills it, I'm gonna be part of it too.

Satisfied?

Thought provoking post.
I personally believe that the failure of leadership and the Nigerian system should not be our own reason to fail. Look around,many young people have arisen against all odds to succed-for instance I lost both parents by 16, had almost no support from family and literally paid my way through the university, now I'm 28 and have a business with eight staff that's worth 15 million naira, and growing...
All I'm saying is that if you really want success badly, you'll consider the " system" a stepping stone and not an impediment.

Will a loan from the bank of industry provide you with steady electricity to run your small scale industry? Will a loan from the BOI repair the bad roads the cause accidents and damage to goods. You dont have to be an expert in writing business plan to make it. Come to Ariaria market Aba and I will show you many successful businessmen who can hardly write their names. My question still remains how was the money made? You belong to the class of Nigerians who believe that Nigerian graduates are unemployable but fail to realise that more than 70 per cent of engineers in the GSM companies are graduates from Nigerian Universities. If you think that you can come from anywhere and tender a proposal to the BOI without BRIBING your way through, guy think again. This is NAIJA! No be Jand.

Exactly.

@OP - Pretty insightful post.
@ballabriggs, @Frank-C, @obyrich - great perspectives.

IMO, there's always the RULE (based on a given system) and there are EXCEPTIONS (based on individuals).
I'll have to lean towards @ballabriggs/ @obyrich on this one. Sadly in Nigeria, few people are thinking about building systems, especially young people. That's why shouts of "I became a millionaire before XYZ years" rent the air. It's not a "bolekaja" approach that's required.... there has to be a coordinated effort to stimulate that.. similar to what the Chinese are doing. Do we have opportunities AVAILABLE for ANYONE who is WILLING and ABLE to take ADVANTAGE of them? - a few here and there... Are they adequate ENOUGH for the target population? - Obviously NOT!

People should really get more knowledge on Facebook, Google and other US-based start-ups before saying such successes (in size and structure) can EASILY be replicated in Nigeria. That's nonsense.

Abagworo: I don't know about others but all my friends became millionaires (in Naira) before the age of 24 and these all happened between 2006 and now. Few are not maried but I can't count any that does not own a house and some cars or is jobless. The truth is that if you plan well, you'll do well and the planning starts from secondary school. You need to think of something innovative and plan to realize it before you graduate. Do not take cultism seriously or plan to get job or succeed after school through cultism. Most people that get employed on leaving University are usually the smart ones(not neccessarily 1st class but street wise) and mostly in banking. The sharp ones leave banking in less than 2years probably at the age of 23 to start self-employed ventures while others get better jobs in Shell, Total etc.

Fat liar! Tell me your parentage and I will show you a man whose way has been cleared by his parents. I dont know how many Nigerians graduate from University at the age 21. Every graduate of a private University is already a millionaire by virtue of his inherited wealth. The late Ikemba was driving a rolls royce in his undergraduate days. He did not become the richest man in Nnewi by the time of his demise or at any time when he was alive. While you swallow what has been chewed for you, others must chew before swallowing.

Let me give you a summary of my life, as an undergraduate at the university of ilorin, studied mechanical engrg, i designed and constructed and automated road sweeper using the basic slider crank and geneva stop mechanisms, i got my inspiration from the everyday lawma agents that endagers their lives just to clean our roads,knowing wel that all drivers are not sane.The equipment has its own wheel and is completely fuelless, runs on the residual 62.7% power unused yet supplied to the street lights,it was a master piece, nobody taught i could pull it off, my school presented it to the kwara state govt. which the ministry of works ran a field test on for 2weeks. Thats as good as it gets, it was my innovation, so i decided to get a patent for it and start producing, first for kwara state govt,then to other states, but because i graduated with a 3rd class my sch did not giv me all the support i needed, but to God be the glory, i m in china now,with a collaboratory patent on my design suported by the chinese govt.

Now this is a classic example of what a government should do

WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE SHALL ACQUIRE MATERIAL THINGS AND FAME WITHOUT JESUS...IT'S A PITY...WHERE WILL YOU SPRND ETERNITY WHEN YOU DIE?

WHAT MATTERS IS YOUR SOUL AT THE END.

He that commits sin is of the devil, I John 3:8 (I John 3:. If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, bitterness, speaking evil of others, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, deception, kidnapping, smuggling, falsification of documents, swearing, extortion and other sinful character dispositions, you must repent.
Such evil and wicked character will hinder the manifestation of abundant blessings upon your life. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution (private or public), patronizing prostitutes, abortion, lesbianism, homosexualism, watching pornography (I Corinthians 6:9-10), or any form of immorality, you need to repent.
Whatever be the area of your sin, you must repent and make amends. Are you into idolatry, do you make or use charms, rituals, bow down to images, do you rob or steal? Are you into cultism, whether open or secret cult? Do you practice witchcraft? Do you smoke cigarette or hemp? Do you sell them or offer them to people? Do you smoke or sniff hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin, captain black, hashish or other banned drugs or snuff? Are you lusting - lusting after men or women, covetous, alcohol drinking? You must repent and give your life to Jesus Christ.
