Seems the average age is between 24-26yrs. I made mine at 26, well, it was via gambling, plus little importation business(laptops) and domain flipping. The funny thing is I learnt everything from Nairaland.

Hmmm
It's gonna be a nice thread.. Lemme settle down here.

This thread is likely gonna make some people depress, lost and even sucidial.
But pls, Have it in mind that when it's time for the moon to shine the sun must surely give way... So if you're trying, keep trying it's never too late.
We all have a story.. Be patient enough to get it the right way so you can enjoy it and not the wrong way cause you just might not recover from it..


God bless us all.
And pray he grant your heart desires.
But you no get ass oh..

But manageable for niggas

Yeah, bought cheap whiskey (replicas) and sold it to my pals who owned clubs. Made some cold hard cash from my efforts. Stopped when my dad found out, he was very livid. Had to go legit, got a 9-5 as an accountant immediately in an NGO.

And since savings is a function of income, I save from what i earn.

These days I feel a tinge of shame when i remember my claim to easy money.
you let your dad talk you out of making money? angry
I became a beast when i started making my own money and i never tell people my stuff.
Well,different strokes for different folks

Made my first milli at age of 22! Studying architecture and had opportunity to design houses for people when I was in 400 level. I made 300k weekly for like 7 weeks straight until the mills balanced and I lost counts of the cash flow. I motivated myself

Once upon a HYIP, I made my first million in 2007 at age 28. I spent it on my tuition for my MSc. It took me another three years to become one again once I started a business.

I can confirm that making a million and staying a millionaire a totally different things and the later is much more tougher though once you get a hang of it and a formula for it, you certainly will keep growing it. The better you are able to manage the formula, the quicker you can hit the next milestone - tens of million, hundreds of millions and the unicorn billion.
yea,it is much more harder staying as a millionaire but it becomes easy with discipline.

Made mine ard 25/26years via stock market during the boom.I remember I bought a particular stock (200,000 units)at 69kobo and sold off in 9 months at around #7 per unit.I equally lost some money though I have since diversified into real estate.
Taking good investment decisions is very key to success.

Being a millionaire is easy but remaining a millionaire is the koko.
You must prioritise assets over liability to remain at the top.
Making a million without remaining a Millionaire is bullcrap. #22
Well said.

True talk bro, been trying a lot but seems people are not really ready to tell u what they know. Still willing to spread my tentacles though,just hoping for the best.

You jus nailed it the way it is.
Especially here in Nigeria, alot hide what they know from others even if they know it won't take away anything from them if they tell you cry

2015. N1.5M to be exact, and since then there have been no turning back. Between 2015 and now I have made over N180 million. Ten years ago if anyone had said I'll ever see a million I would have laughed that person off. 15 years ago I was walking round Festac Town, sometimes barefooted selling vegetables (shokor) and okra. When the season comes I sell corn..With a trey over my head walking round Festac shouting "BUY SHOKOR". It's the most humiliating thing that can ever befall any on in secondary school as I get to see most of my classmates..girls included. I once saw a classmate and nearly ran for cover, unfortunately the trey fell on the road, and right there I had to stop and picking back the items one by one lol.

The day Nigeria played South Africa in the semi final at the Ghana Nigeria 2002 Nations Cup I wasn't even allowed to see the game. I had to go Kiri. Then, as timaya said " I dey on my own Jehovah just bless me o". God took me from rags, the bottom of the food chain in the family, the most despised and hated, God took me from that to become the richest person in the history of my family. Anyone who doubts the existence of God and his propensity to fight for and bless the underdog, the oppressed, is doing himself a major disservice. I have experienced first hand how God works. It's incredible.

BiafranBushBoy:


You wanna hear some lazy man investments?

Smiles... No...

First I started with affiliate marketing... I set it up while working full time. It took over a year to make $50.

The aim is to keep expenses to the barest minimum while working hard.

Once it started gaining traction. I veered off into blogging and started selling information products.

It wasn't hard to start earning $600 monthly.

I dived into Amazon kindle publishing...

End result was that within 6 months just clocking 25, I was there...

Then I already gain traction. Everything is now automated...

I still kept my 7 - 4 job.

The aim is to keep expenses very low. Do away liabilities like phones, shoes and new clothes and reinvest profit

I don't have any liquid assets, I love making my profits myself and saving the others.

Bro abeg put me tru wella about Amazon kindle publishing I just started publishing books now but barely making $20 monthly

Oluhills007:
so on the minimum.. How much so you think would be enough to start real estate... Can one do Real estate with no deposit down?

A plot or plots of land in a developing area is a good start. Some companies encourage monthly payment instead of bulk payments for some of these investments. I don't know about the no deposit, never heard of it.
