Is the country good? I looked at the people around me. Those who finished their ND before me in Poly. 80% were yahoo boys. I looked at my set, 80% were yahoo boys. No one I could point to making a headway in live. No jobs. Nothing. Some were living of girlfriends. If you look good in Ibadan, SARS will arrest you along the road. On 3 different occasions when I wore new clothes and new shoes in Ibadan, I was arrested around dugbe. I did not do anything wrong. They will arrest you, harass you and collect money from you and tell you to go.

My brother, for a young man in Nigeria, the country is bad. I am happy I left. Now in Italy, if they are doing designer sales in Milan, like they did in January after Xmas, I will conveniently buy cheap designers. Wear original brand new designers. Go anywhere and I won't be harassed by police, even if I am black. If I should comeback to Nigeria today and wear those clothes to walk around, will your police let me be?

so op these cheap designers clothes you are talking about can we deal? if yes let me know

I started out working in a bakery as a second job. Then I went for 6 months training as a Forklift operator. My bakery job paid 11.20 euros per hour. Now I work as a Forklift operator at a factory. Salary is 16.49 euros per hour. I do 8 hours night shifts daily. Then sell cars during the day.

There are general seasons when all brands do sales. Usually January and the end of winter as they prepare for international summer visitors.

Also, individual brands do sales at their own time all through the year. For individual brands, I have to visit their shops to find out. They can have a section with shelves filled with sales items. The sales items don't mean the clothes are old. It means it is not in vogue for the new season with fashionistas

I just saw this extreme level of foolishness you exhibited. In all I said, what is illegal? You said I could not think of how to make money legally? You are a beast. Is selling cars illegal?

Did you not read that I did business? Is it not the business of marketing cars that brought me here? My own business. I didn't even start with N30k. I started with zero naira. You are full of hate. It is a sign of the frustration you are experiencing. You are on your own.

Today makes it exactly 1 year I left Nigeria. To mark this little anniversary, I decided to share how it happened for me on the forum that made it happen. I am not a good writer. Pardon me if the sequence of events in my story appear scrambled.

About 3 years ago, after graduating from Poly Ibadan with my OND, I searched for work everywhere. All the pay in Ibadan were under N20k. I decided, instead of taking a job for N20k, I should pursue my passion which is cars. I became an agent selling cars. I would visit car stands. Take pics, share on whatsapp, social media and all. I was able to get by with few sales every month. I would also look for cheap cars on Nairaland and help the seller get a buyer within Lagos/Ibadan/Ogun states.

In 2017, people started asking me if they can import their own cars directly. I would help them search on mobile.de and autoscoute24.de for cars. To cut the long story short, I assisted to import 4 cars before the end of 2017. 3 of the cars were from a particular car dealership in Genoa, Italy. In January 2018, anther buyer needed a car. We did our search and found a car from this dealership. Since I already saved some money as commission from the cars I have sold, both imported and locally, I decided to try my luck with the dealership. I requested that they allow me come check the car in person. And, they sent me an invitation without hesitation. I did the Visa and all. Then I traveled to Italy February 7th 2018.

While in Italy, I talked to the MD of the dealership. I told him to look at the few sales I have brought him. I told him I can do more if I am employed as his sales agent. He said sales men in his dealership are commission based. I said I can accept the commission based job because I have a lot of connects in Nigeria. After a second discussion with him, he offered me the job. The job had monthly and quarterly sales targets. No salary. Only commission. The good thing was that there was no resumption or closing time. No fixed working hours. Just meet your target. This will enable me take up other fixed paying jobs in Italy while I sell cars on the side.

After all was concluded, and I received my appointment contract, I returned to Nigeria. I reapplied for a working Visa this time around. My previous visa was a visit visa. I would have been able to apply and do the change in Italy but the process would have taken a longer time. The best option was for me to return to Nigeria and reapply. My Visa was granted. And on the 20th of March 2018, I left Nigeria to resume my job.

It has been great since I got here. Absolutely great. I traveled without using agents or anything. Only trying my luck in requesting for what I wanted. If you are looking for a way out of Nigeria, this could be your best route. This can work with any dealership in Europe and in any European country.

As you celebrate with me today, I wish you success in your endeavours. If you have questions you can drop your number for whatsapp.

My question is this...

Why haven't you get across to those people who drop their contacts here for some time now

What you need to do is pray for this country, ask God to be merciful and get us through... the Italy you are in didn t just become Italy in 55 years, it took time.. pray and repent for the country.. Pray for the prosperity of Nigeria. your business will be affected positively if Nigeria prospers..

If the country is good as you once proclaimed, why doee he need to pray for it again?

Besides, why saying in naija hoping for better tommorrow when he had a chance to move to a better country.


BTW, how far has your prayer helped the country? Why must he waste his precious youthful years praying for naija when he can leave?
