I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

TIME AND CHANCES HAPPEN TO DEM ALL, BUT IF U HAV NOT INVESTED IN URSELF HOW WIL U SEE THE CHANCE?? dat is a food for tot tho..

OP
My guy, life is tough. I felt worse some years ago and used to specifically ask God to take my life. On 2 occasions, I tried taking my own life. Our situations just different small cos my dad is alive and I'm from a privileged home but the guy leave me to let life drill me small.
But things change
Life happened
The today I feared so much yesterday came and I swear God no disappoint me.
Ur path will become clearer as U grow
Don't be lazy, work hard and pray extra hard.

And the funny thing is that time is very brutal
Time waits for no one

If someone wants to believe in God, I don't mind. The part where I have a problem is people will not work but believe God will magically bring miracles to their door step. In these new generational churches, they will tell you that as a christian, riches and prosperity are your birth right because Jesus paid the price and all you have to do is proclaim it and walk in faith. Even though the bible mentioned about hard times and trials, they ignore that and focus only on prosperity preaching. They are not taught to work hard.

You refused a job of N18,000 and you are planning to refuse another job of N25,000.

When I see some young men who can't afford their bills like rent and fares, and all that matters to them is girlfriend this, girlfriend that, I just see a young man with NO FUTURE.

You have not succeeded in anything in life, go and read how many times you mentioned Girlfriend in your write up.

FOCUS.

My friend go and sit down...U cannot give God an ultimatum and he cannot work on your terms.

Well, that's exactly what happened way back, not that i still give God ultimatum, it may not worj now, because im a believer. even now I have unanswered prayer requests. But my condition then was very urgent, desperate and stranded. I've be been stranded b4 and God answered quickly, I think when someone is stranded, God is very much moved to answer prayers, I'm a witness to that. If your earthly father or even close friend can have sympathy and help, how much more our heavenly father. , as a b again Christian I experience miracles everyday, but being a Christian comes with a price, " do we live in sin because grace is abound? "

We all feel that way at some point in time but never back down. Life goes on

Hedonisco:


Don't get complacent bruv you've not arrived yet. Most of us have not arrived but we get carried away by small wins or temporary highs.

Now, imagine if 3 or 4 or more agents emerge to saturate that space providing same service as you? Before you know it, your margins would reduce and then it's back to square one.

I'm not trying to discourage you. All I'm saying is keep your entrepreneurial spirit alive - eyes, nose and ears WIDE open. Keep learning and trying out new opportunities. Same way you discovered the agent business, there are hundreds of similar and even bigger opportunities around.

Right now I have three income streams; one of them almost entirely passive. But I'm FAR from comfortable, in fact, I'm a broke ass (almost to the point of destitution) by my self-imposed high standards. I would like to have more than 10 income streams..online and offline, passive and active, cumulatively bringing in 7 figures weekly. That's why I keep snooping around for opportunities, new schemes, and valuable business Intel. It's a never ending story.

Well said bro and thanks for the advice...I sell foot wears and second hand shirts as a side hustle.I do daily contribution too.The hustle will never end like u rightly said,I can only task myself to do more.

Op I was in such dilemma once upon a time.

I used my last 40k double Nysc allowance to look for job immediately after service.

The 40k got exhausted on Transportation.

I was exhausted. I have no option.


I looked inward to check what's left in me.


Nothing.


But guess what? I found something that'll sustain me forever and has been doing ever since.

I started earning my Nysc double allowance weekly without seeing the sun outside.

Think and grow rich.

Here is the thread I created:

think of how you will survive first not bothering yourself about women wahala

As a Brooke guy if you want to survive in this cold world stay away from women... Till when the cash start s coming in...

brightgreat:
At this point you can even think of a GF. My brother just know that you are still doing fine cos original poor man no de get erection

I de tell you...

Toyosimuyiwa:
Hello dear,

I can imagine how you're feeling, but then.....
Okay, i would suggest you still continue with that your teaching job, then you hone your skills
What's your field of study? it can't be that bad that in Lagos here, you wouldn't get something doing
The skill that aces now is a digital skill, network, meet people, whatsapp groups and all
You can forward me your number, so i can link you with some Job/Opportunities groups.

Based in Abuja abeg 07061221512...thanks

Mcdaniels06:
Message me on Whatsapp, lemme introduce you to a business opportunity in real estate, which you can do anywhere you are in the world and make good fortune for yourself, with little commitment so to speak. 07031201057.

Will definitely do...

UcanTrustme:


Brother, you have the potentials of becoming a multi-millionaire in the future. All you need to do now is to have the right mentality and determination to move forward in life.
A lot of people had worst experience than you but they were able to break even and succeed because of determination.
For me, the best advice that I can give you is to start thinking of being self-employed than working for anybody. You can work a little and save up to N100k. With this money, you can start buying and selling business. I started my business with less than that amount in Owerri, later moved to Lagos and now I have travelled to many countries in Europe and Asia bringing things to Nigeria.
You can start from West African countries. Buy their fashions and style and bring it to Lagos. You can choose whatever thing you want to buy and bring it in.
I can understand your emotions about your GF but to be very honest, you would need the help of women in your journey if you want to succeed very fast. An established woman is a heavy asset to a guy like you. She can arrange a credit line for you and give you help in different ways. You will have to be bold to look into her eyes and bleep her very well. Then you need to stop crying and go into the street and hustle. Goodluck broad

Can we talk on whatsapp... I need to know more with regards to business from you...

vicsongreat:
Let me encourage u small, life after school isn't a bed of roses. I finished myNysc in 2015, I searched for jobs for almost one year, all my savings during NTSC vanished in transport from pH to Owerri to awka to Asaba, I became pocket less, to recharge 100airtime became a problem, I went to live with a friend at Enugu, I got a teaching job of 8k per month, I taught for two weeks and I got fed up cos no money for transport to sch again. For five nights, I couldn't sleep, I became depressed, frustrated, dejected and helpless. The thought of riding okada came, but I rejected it, after some days, I couldn't feed again, I eat 25 naira bread and pure water 10 in d morning till night. Finally, I cleared the shame, I met a man and explain my conditions to him, he agreed to buy me okada, he finally bought the bike fie 200k and ask me to run it for 300k. It wasn't easy bro, everyday, police will arrest me for defaulting, road safety, okada taskforce etc were collecting the little I was making. But I persevered, I suffered shame, but I continued, God was helping me, I balance 10 k every week, finally, I paid 300k withing 6months. The bike became mine....I started hussling for my own, I did my Intl passport, I saved, started my visa precessing, bro, right now, am in abroad earning six digit salary per month. So if I can be were I am today, bro, u will make it. This my story is for every struggling youth out there in Nigeria, just be positive. Something good will come out OK. Bless up

Can I DM you?

DemigodZeus147:
I understand what you are passing through bro. Firstly, it is not a bad thing to be in love (regarding your gf case),hence it is not your fault.


You just have to be strong. I have read the story of a guy quitting a 50k job coz he wants to go into IT, and according to him he didn't regret it. I'd advice you find something you can/want to grow in. For me I'd advice you go for a marketing/sales job (my reason is, every firms aim is to get customers and make profit, and the need a marketer or a sales person),with this skill you will never lack a job(This has been my worst fear anyway, as I am an introvert, but I am embracing it)....

Another option is IT (web development, graphic design etc)

Honestly, I know it won't be easy......... For the teaching, you will still be gripped in the CYCLE.

At the end, it is all up to you.



Zeus.

is there really hope in i.t? Because i am a teacher currently but planning on saving to get a good laptop and learn programs like graphics design and web development

myjourneysofar:


25k?

You should think twice.
I am a HND 1 student of Civil a Part timer and working for a job of 17k
My rent before was 2500 then 4000 per mouth.
I live in a mini city where you buy water pay NEPA bills and manage to buy 1 shirt once a while.
I subscribe to data plans twice a month and have manage to start publishing business. I have spent 48k already without result yet still pushing.

Women don't understand the language of LOVE.

With 25k, I will be extra 10k or more per month with the online knowledge I have now both in Affiliate marketing, YouTube and publishing. In fact I have a YouTube channel with over 1300 subs and less than 25videos.

What have you been doing online. Each day I get angry seeing online hustlers withdraw from fiverr.

O boy you better take that job and invest in your future.

people make money from fiverr? How does it even work sef?
