You can actually earn a living by becoming a motivational speaker like Uju Onyechere www.ujuonyechere.com .Obong Essien and many other young motivational speakers making it big here in Nigeria,you can make a little research about these people ,you will be amazed how they started but today they have distinguished themselves in this field,being a motivational or publice speaker will end your search for job,you will build a career in it within a short period with great network because success is achieved faster by riding on the shoulders of those who have made impact in that field

Presently in Nigeria there is an increasing demand to equip people with CAN DO spirit,there are so many people who have the zeal ,the passion to see their dreams come to fruition but do not know how to go about it,this indirectly affects personal and organisational productivity,research has shown that one of the major causes of this problem is inability to speak in public,in order to bridge this gap in Nigeria,a management consulting firm known as BENSON AND EDWARDS ,36 ALLEN AVENUE LAGOS has a weekend programme known as PUBLIC SPEAKING ACADEMY,the academy seeks to give individuals hitherto unable to speak in public the opportunity to do so,by providing a platform for every member of the academy to make presentations and then get eveluated by a team of motivational and business speakers of repute in Nigeria and after the completion of the required courses within a duration of two sundays and two saturdays you will be issued a certificate and also be networked immediately with your first public speaking job,it is very sweet to get paid whenever you talk.having said all this let me enumerate some of the courses you will be taught in different venues at LAGOS,ABUJA,JOS,ENUGU,OWERRI,PH AND BENIN
