I just heard federal government is about to raise the salary of elected politicians and judges by More than 100 percent


It will favour me and my family where una dey

Imagine this 21 century na im Nigerians dey get that mentality of "it will favour me and my family "
Very archaic and primitive way of reasoning
Then, it is safe to conclude that "he no go favour you and your family" very simple.

Please, show me the way🙏🙏🙏


I don't think there's any point trying to make salary and 9-5 workers feel discouraged about their current jobs

We should encourage and help them see the possibilities available online

I mean you can earn no less than 200k-500k monthly if you have a high income skill and the most interesting part is that you only need your phone and Internet connection to get started

This is the core reason why I hate my salary but I don't blame anyone. I just focus on my improving my competence in the hope of getting a better offer someday.

One of the biggest mistake in my life is starting with a small salary. Straight out of school after completing my ND, I got an offer through the help of my mum from one of the company she is associated with. I didn't really care much about the salary, I am just enthusiast about practising what I learnt in school.

I was very dedicated at my job and I am proud of what I do. I was given bigger responsibilities, assumed tougher roles, trained and mentored new staff, functioned as the team leader but never got promoted to be the boss. (It is a indian company, so if you know, you know). I even complete my HND part time few years ago but it is with so much struggle.

It has been long since I got uncomfortable with earning salary though, I have tried many things to gain financial freedom from home but I have been looking in the wrong place. I tried forex, sport betting, binary, etc but it has all failed me. I wasn't looking for an easy way thought, my job had disconnected with my some people that give me updates.

But I started to dislike my boss, my company, my profession, in fact, salaried jobs entirely when my peers who just finished BSc./HND with no experience got offers that is par with my 9 years of work experience and competence. Some of which I even mentored while they are in school and prepare them for the practical aspect of the job.

What even killed my morale completely is the offer I get from companies I make applications to. I get interviews easily, I am certain that I will be called up for an interview after sending out about 12 CVs for job applications but where I normally got stucked is the salary aspect.

I usually get offers for salary that is about the same with my current salary and that is annoying! It would have been a good salary if I am just starting out with little or no experience but considering my experience and responsibilities demanded from me, and what I'll be bringing to the table, I feel undervalued. (Although, I would have accepted the offer but my current place have the advantage of proximity. I spend so little on transport and I don't have to wake up early like most folks.)

And I like the company because they are working with one of the latest technologies in the industry. They always spend so much on introducing new and better processes and procedures and educating the staffs but so little on their welfare and salaries. They just love to hire cheap labours.

Still, It is annoying because I keep asking myself, Is this what I am worth? If this is what I am worth, I don't want to do this shit anymore. I just feel like just quitting one day, see what the street can offer me with some of my savings. Afterall, I have enough cash to foot my bills effortlessly for one year even if I am not doing anything.

Sometimes, I got demoralised and I stopped applying... while sometimes, I try again when my dumb indian superiors do some stupid things. But I know the day I'd truly be happy is to do my thing. I just hope that it won't be a wishful thinking forever.

After reading your epistle, it was obvious that you are still naive. You still don't know how things work.

You think working hard at your place of work will get you promoted, instead you will be dumped with more work and responsibilities. Whereas people who don't even do 50% of what you do keep getting promoted.

Your first mistake is taking an offer that you believe is below your worth. And when it comes to slave labour, Indians are the best.

I don't see myself ever working for those bastards. Not only will they overload you with work and pay you peanuts, but they also lack respect and can be quite racist.

Start afresh, but this time, desist from applying to Nigerian, China, Labenese or Indian-managed companies.

And when you get that dream job, it's not about how hard you work, but how you play the office politics.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't meet your target. You should, but don't go above and beyond trying to impress. It will only get you more responsibilities not promotion.

Wishing you the best.

I have been doing this salary work for the past 10 years now that I have graduated. The salary is not encouraging, initially I started small so that I could gain more experience.

Now, I have the experience but no capitol to establish myself. I prefer to have business of my own from the experience I have gathered so far working with one man business and registered companies.

Don't quit yout job to start a business of 300k. Rather find other source of income. I don't have a job now. I'm hurzling. But, I must tell you. Its mot easy anywhere. The more source of income you have the better. Not quiting. Besides, apart from online, there's no meaningful business you would start with less than 3m. Some 5m+ and it's mot a guarantee that you will succeed.

I have lost interest in salary work, I am just doing it because I don't have a choice.
If I have up to N300,000 I will start my business immediately.


Don't quit your job to start a business of 300k. You will end up eating the capital to survive. Rather start a passive business while still working. Even if the profit is 1k daily. Start.

It's crazy how employers are so cunning towards the growth of their employees

Imagine doing 9-5pm everyday for over 25days in a month... including transportation,feeding and other life expenses and at the end of the month you're either paid 30k-35k[that's even if you have a degree like say ND]




What do you think could happen if you're not being paid salary?

Debt debt debt all the way.



It's a dog eat dog society. In the private sector, they don't care about you. What they are interested is maximum profit. To become mini Dangote
