ba7man: Mehn, the comments some people post online ehn....Self employment is the way ooo....
I know guys that were into digital photography in school(how much is a camera that 3 ppl can't save and buy??) They were already in millions by the time they graduate and are into property development now.
A friend of mine during a strike period in school learnt carpentry, he bought used power tool with his allowance and you really need to see the creative things he sells now.
Another friend of mine studied engineering. He sent himself thru school by workin on sites as supervisor and now he collects jobs costing millions. He's built his own house, married, bought a car 4 his dad, himself and his wife.....and he just turned 29.
I don't choose mediocre people around me, I surround myself with what I want to see...Honest sucessful people who started small and grew into sucess. I'm motivated when I'm with them. N.B: I have many more oooo.....Under 20 sef and some grown men nd women will come here and start discouraging people. A lot of people need re-orientation.

Bro, Naija people are yet to wake up.
Many are more serious about their looks, latest dance e.g Azonto, Atlanta, they want to enjoy right now instead of the other way round. I used to tell people that I do not need 1 million to be a millionaire. Just give me 500k and watch me built it into millions. Are you financially intelligent enough? some even go as far as attributiing riches to luck... i LAFF!

At least you got an advice, didnt you? what was the result of that advice? A better CV presentation. That's all I am saying.

Ji_sun_pack: What are you talking about? look let me be open and sincere to you. I left a "high" paying oil job in PH to start a farm. This idea came to me when I met a friend that was making times four of my pay in a month.

I got to know about the farm when I visited him during one of my vacations and was dazed with the money he was making, instantly that ugly mask called pride was shredded into pieces and I set my resignation date that very moment. it was like a revelations from God on my way to Damascus.

fast forward. . .I use part of the proceeds from the farm and set up a company which I automatically assumed the CEO and I can confidently tell you that I now employ people like you with their long neck ties.

Unemployment may seem to be a very difficult transition, but what is more harder is for anyone to be unskilled. after collecting let say 350k per month for six years, what do you think will happen to you? Go figure!

Tell them something. Entreprenures will always rule any day any time. What most people do not realise is that the same jobs they seek at some other places is someone else's business. Strip off all those formalities that comes with a job and you will see a N .A . K. E. D BUSINESS.

While searching, what if the jobs doesnt come, what will you do? I thank God for the day I came across this book; Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. I read that book in 2007 and several others after that. My thinking changed far better than the thousands of graduate produce every year. The problem is that money is not taught in school and how to build a business.

I once said it in another thread about 4 months ago while still in school that my NYSC is going to my BEST year because it is the time to make truck loads of cash for myself, but those that had experience the same NYSC were lamenting. NYSC never start sef, $500 don land for my hand.

Change your mindset, read and develop yourself business wise and you will thank God that you ever did. This world is changing fast, innovations are emerging. The question is, are you tapping it?

Who care about the unemployment rate in Naija? No kidding, not bragging, banked N80,000 last friday ($500 to be precised). That's some bankers salary.

The earlier you learn to be business minded, the better for you.

I am in control, no bossing around.

After sometime, I will get the fvck out of the comatose place called Nigeria.

lol... them dey pursue me oooo. Such is life. Money on demand lol.

Won fe mo bi se je owo, won fe mor bi mo se kpa owo...Dagrin. RIP

nitrogen: Very 'kerezi' thread! bluediva, please carry go jare, you know what, our main problem in naija is that we always want sympathy , am not surprised sha, because most are victims of tradition and circumstances. Please better their lives by scolding them the more, or betterstill make them worst by sympathizing with them, but i can bet it that you prefer the former.
@sir AJ, lol at the 'scapegoat' thingy.

I dey laff... psychology at work lol.

I just got a friend request from this ediot and digging further, I notice that the scammer has been sending out the same message to people, mostly men. BEWARE!

See the funny reply one gave: My dear wy tht I no u?u luke like someone tht I no NYSC bach A 2012 compe.
Can u imagine?

Hello. I applied for this card over 2weeks now and no reply from them after sending my scanned ID card.

This is really unsual of the Payoneer I knew of back in 2008. Even the same David hardly respond to email as swiftly as they used to. Na wa o.Now that they have grown so big, they are having a hard time to keep up with customers.

starbasi: sorry, bet365.com

'Get UBA africard to do that for you.

lol.. stunts. Oshi Iranu

BlueDIVA, BlueDIVA, BlueDIVA, BlueDIVA. Go Girl, Go Girl,Go Girl...

Why do nairaland ladies like to f00l guys here? What do you gain from this mockery. Only ediot would fall for this crap.

Sure, some uncontrolled bull dogs may wag their tales, not me. Find a better strategy.

stpat1: 2sexy, 2sexy, 2sexy. how many times did I call you? lol. Nice. I'm happy you're rolling in the Benjamins. keep it up

Bro, I had to do what I had to do. If I could make that cash within that short time, monday to friday, imagine how much I will make next month. The figure will be staggering. All I have to do is rinse and repeat. I shared this testimony not because I made money, but because I couldn't have made it if someone hadn't believe in me and chose to help.

This is for the benefit of everybody. I want to stress the essence of sharing and imparting positively in the life of your fellow Nigerian and also to let some people know that believing in one's dream is paramount to the survival of mankind.

I would have created another thread for this but I felt it's more appropriate to do so here since it was birthed here. This, also, wouldn't have come at a more appropriate time considering you guys are about to take this to the next level.

We all see the whites doing what most people wouldn't do in Nigeria-helping one another and bringing financial,economic and developmental changes
. Here in Nigeria, people are selfish, so selfish that you wouldn't want to help because no one helped you when you needed it most.

You should remember in page 3 of this thread, I made a request for a modem because I was broke due to spending money on final year project. I got only a few responses from 2ruink, Azeez. Some how, it didn't happen with them.

Before I even made that request, to be honest, I was fvcking shy but I had to swallow my pride because I had a target.

I believe a lot of people doubted me then. But if you are smart enough, you should have seen it that I wasn't after money? WHY? Because I know what to do to make that money. Besides, I am not myopic. I am not those cheap guys flying all over the Nigerian Internet Marketing sphere organising seminars on 'How To Make Money Online' but in truth, they have never practise what they preach. I even stated this in page 3 that I know my stuff. Anytime I say this, some Nairalander's on 3 occasions ,out of intimidation, have said I am too proud. Lol! That's their cup of tea, not mine. I paid my dues, sleepless nights, burning at cafes, reading, pouring over ebooks, testing,failing,failing,failing, testing, almost giving up, fell, ,stood up, sweated, got scammed, got laughed at, mocked,just name it and you know where I am coming from.


Pacemaker spotted this from a million miles away and chose to help. I got the modem quite alright and got to work, but not immediately though.

This week's Monday I started what I know how to do best and by yesterday, a deal was strucked , which is worth $500.

This is not some sort of over hyped BS. I kept pacemaker posted via emails about on what I was doing and that's why I don't post often.

$500 is N80,000. That's a salary earned by some people in the bank.

I am not going to say what I did so that some lazy bones don' t think it's easy cos it's not.

My reason for sharing this is to encourage the art of giving and helping people when they need it most. It will go a long way to change lives and please, for those are meeting in Lagos, do not go into this with a selfish thought. If you know that have a problem with being sincere to yourself, back out now.

So, hopefully by next week, my cash will be in my hands. Good luck friends.

LoveKing: hmmm thanks anyway

so you no know before? Kai! Some people sha. Na so my uncle say make I use conference enter Canada. I looked at myself and I couldn't imagine me struggling for years just to gain balance in a foreign land. Well, I decided to give myself just 1 and half years. Till then.

surveycash: I tried this card for Facebook Ads only to be rejected after a week asking me to choose an alternative payment method. What do I do?

Are you sure of what you just wrote? Na u b 1st o. This is bad Omen o.

Are you serious? *eye pops*

walks out

whether you believe all not, in this world, it has been proven several times that wonder shall never end.

I don't see anything wrong in the acts of the Saudi government.

Do those moronic left handed decaying brains think that everywhere is like Nigeria where there is no law?

To those who codemn this act portrayed my Saudi Arabia, may you rot in your made in Nigeria hell fire fuel with abysmal suffering, frustration, no costant power supply, boko haram bomb to your house,unemployment, insecurity,lack of good roads,poor health care. Mumu people.

F00ls dont know that the Saudi Arabia, the true home of Islam doesnt even practise terrorism or madness like all islam copycats we have around. When I think of Saudi Arabia, I have reasons to believe that Islam is truely a religion of peace--sentiment aside--except that the Islamic doctrine has been truncated and deformed for selfish reasons outside the kingdom

Na so I see am o.

God Is GGGGGRRRRREEEEEAAAAAAATTTTTTT!

Why stpat1 no longer showing up here? I hope it is not because of what Pacemaker said awhile back.

SCAMMMMMMM!

Ptolomeus: In my country (Uruguay), the term is used even among whites ... in a loving way.
I think the problem is that the term has degenerated into something derogatory, and is difficult to accept it as something positive.
In Uruguay, exists the "pride of blackness" proud to be black ...
Every culture is different, and that term takes on a different meaning depending on who says it and where he says.
Of course, this can also be used to offend, but then any other word would fulfill the same function.

sorry, dude. Do you know the history of blacks? That word originated from the slavery days and that's an alternative word for a slave. You dig? So, if you are a slave, enjoy! A lot of people just use words any how without knowing it's full meaning, especially in Nigeria. That's how a guy was going around saying : 'what's up pu s s y?' until I made him know it's wrong. Some could also call one a 'flasher' but look up that word in the dictionary. How about ' you look kinky'? It goes on like that without knowing the meaning.

Go to the US where that word originated from and dare call any black that word... And then come back tell us your experience. Good luck

anyerhovwo: This is so sad, may GOD grant her speed recovery

pray pray pray... As If prayer will solve Nigeria's problem where human effort could easily do. You think God is silly?
