Someone said opportunities are usually dressed
as hard, hard, hard work. Most people detest
hard work and hence they miss opportunities.
Most people want easy life. Sleep by midnight.
Wake by 9am. Servers serve you fruit juice and
invite you to shower. Then your meal is on the
dining table and then after eating you get back to
watching movies. You are invited for lunch and
then you get back to watching movies until
midnight when you go to bed. In between you get
to the table to take candy with cookies and eat
it with some ice tea! Hey!

That kind of easy life daily and weekly and all
year round only happens in soap opera. In other
to get opportunities you must be willing to work
hard I mean some sort of serious work. Then you
have to keep your eyes and ears open for
opportunities in the very place of work.

Those looking for easy life without some work seem not to get it. Ask most people who have travelled to
America and they will tell you that they have
easy lives now. Yes, some of them sold their
houses in Africa in order to finance the trip.
Some sold all they have worked for all their lives.
Some of them left NNPC and other lucrative jobs
in order to get to their dream land.


A CEO of a company recently shared with me
how he moved from the laboratory of a company
to the marketing department. Within a short
while he has moved to the upper wrong of the
marketing ladder of the company and his model
was being used as training manual for new
intakes. He latter left that company and moved
on to oil marketing. But wait, that meant a cut in
pay! He was determined for the change and took
it. He moved round about three companies in the
oil sector as a marketer. Later he moved on to
own his own company and the company is a
huge success. He got opportunities by keeping
his ears and eyes on the ground. This individual
also mentioned the importance of soft skills in
the journey to stardom. Friend, being a star did
not start today, it started yesterday! Every
Olympic star was a runner from his primary
school days.


Rise up, the opportunities in Nigeria are massive.
Opportunities abound in every sector of the
economy. During my time as a corper in Yauri,
Kebbi State, I knew a guy who travels from Yauri
to Lagos with dry fish for sale. He is doing fine
today. The profit margin in buying and selling of
fish is massive sir. Yauri is one of the four
Emirates in Kebbi and apart from Argungu it’s
the other town that the River Niger water has to
pass before reaching Niger State. So, easy
access to fish makes it cheap. People must eat
food. So, getting a particular food item from the
farm to the city can make you a fortune sir.


People are known to have sponsored their
children up to University level by simply retailing
ugwu. The profit margin is above 100% daily. A
guy was said to have finished from school
without a job. He was from Edo where they had
a lot of oil palm so that palm oil was cheap. He
went to the place and enquired about the cost
as compared to Kaduna where he resided. The
price difference was good. He moved on to buy
in Edo and sell in Kaduna. after a while he
bought a house in Kaduna. He became
prosperous.

Wake up guys and girls. Some graduates
complain of lack of jobs and they fail to respond
to vacancies in the newspapers. They claim that
the jobs are already taken and that the advert
was just for fulfilment of all righteousness. I got
2 major jobs by responding to paper job adverts.
Tuesday and Thursday Guardian were my friends
those days. I rejected some job offers I found via
newspaper advertisements because the pay was
small after interviewing. Sometimes I got 3
interviews in a week! The good jobs are still in
the newspapers.


The opportunities in egg distribution is enormous
too. You get the eggs from the farm and sell in
the town at a profit of 10% and above on every
create sold at whole sale price. I do not
recommend selling at retail price (Its also
profitable). I prefer concentrating on the whole
sale system. If you can get a van and move your
eggs round you can make 10,000 naira daily.
That is assuming you sell 100 crates daily and
make a profit of 100 naira per crate.

In theUnited States it’s a big thing if you have a shop,
store, supermarket. The opportune time is now!
Opportunities on the internet are too numerous.
What shall I say about forex trading, binary,
cryptocurrencies, football betting and many
more. A lot of effort is invested in schooling sir.

Why cant the same effort be invested in
researching these internet goldmine. At present,
any one who is doing any thing online money
wise is seen as a crook. That mindset must
change if we will get anywhere. This is the time
for you to learn how to trade forex online. Get
busy with babypips.com. With patience and some
capital you will be smiling to the bank daily,
weekly and all year round. When I started trading
forex I made my monthly salary in one week. It
was so, so surprising to me. Learn the basics
and the complex and the develop your own
winning style. It’s a market. Study it and you will
win. The opportunities to travel abroad for free
are vast too. I will write on each as we proceed
from time to time.
