A poor man in Canada came to Nigeria and became a rich man. Now, you forgot that there are poor people in Nigeria.

I realized how dumb your reasoning is when you attribute your experience with Lagosians to represent that of average Nigerian. E.g., clubbing every Friday. Higher percentage of Nigerians can't afford standard three square meals daily talk more of having anything to do with clubbing.

Minimum wage in 2016 was 18k and is 77k presently. Mathematician isonu.

PepeXKermit:
If you salary has not gone up 5 -7 times simce 2016, you are worse off!

"People are still using it till today" and at the same time, "GenZ will never know it." Why contradicting yourself?

press9jatv:
people are still using it till today. I experienced it too. GenZ will never know it

All the people you mentioned joined Nigeria military pre-NDA era.

Richtaiwo:
Salihu Ibrahim is in course 1, so which courses are IBB, Buhari, Abacha, and Abdulsalam? Because I know IBB and Buhari are senior to late General Salihu Ibrahim.

Helinus, the 'tor' master. Where are you? Very heartless bigot.

It's a matter of time. You will look back and regret this heartless position you maintain because of tribalism.

Just wait for the acclaimed bullionaires to nod heads on this

The tribe of that guy is Ebira from Kogi State. You lied.

The moment I saw the headline of this post without reading it's content, I know the celebrant must be aboki. Let's watch and see, this guy will be appointed professor of physics in less than 5 years from today.

You sound really irrational.

CyrusVI:
There is a positivity in his statement and I'm surprised that even he isnt seeing it

We now have electric light more than ever before

Paying for Electricity has always been a problem. If most could pay, the Govt have no issues providing 24/7 light for us


I'm glad that under this PBAT era, Light has never been the issue.

You are the slowpoke here. Proud ignorant.

Sapasenator:
Change the headings, It's medications, not drugs you moran!

Drugs are illegal for anyone to buy.

Finally? Was there a time you never defended the government of having a robust plan for the well-being of the citizens? Why the word 'finally" again?
Your sycophancy stinks.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Finally, some action from the FG!

It's about time we see a robust plan that prioritizes the well-being of the citizens.

Smoking. I owe her a debt of gratitude.

How much is minimum wage in each of those countries?

Nvestor02:
This so called people are misinformed and they are blind to the what president Tinubu is doing. If you all can check all the news media.

There is overwhelming news of how the Police, Amotekun and Soldiers are arresting the bandits and kidnappers one after the other.

Eradicating insecurity is the first step of Nigeria greatness and Tinubu is not joking with it at all.

With security, Farmers will be able to go to farm and food will become cheaper.

The fact here is that most Nigerians Citizen has been pampered and spoilt by how Government dey pay subsidy for them.

Coast of living in Nigeria is one of the lowest, if you guys tour around the African continent you will know this.

Small bottle of coke is 200 in Nigeria but in Ghana its N720

And in south Africa it's N940, same as Zambia and Zimbabwe.

In liberia Bag of rice is around N170, 000.

Oga, statutory transfer isn't the same thing as conditional cash transfer. Statutory transfer are done to concerned agencies and departments. Such agencies or departments pay the salaries of their staff on their own. The agencies includes NJC, NDDC and the rest.

iokpebholo:
1.7 trillion for conditional cash transfer??This is the biggest scam and waste of the century walahi.If you want to lift Nigerians out of poverty why not use that trillions to subsidize petrol??

It's cheap. However, I sympathize with the farmer. He deserves a better deal for his efforts.

You don't know what you are saying. They are not related in anyway. Common!!!

yussybenayu:
This is a shameless post. It is common knowledge to the entire country and the world that Yahaya Bello rigged this election for his nephew. Tell us another story abeg

Rest in peace the Ohinoyi of ebiraland. We will miss you.

Why are specific about terrible news?

That's Why Is Always Available To Publish All The Terrible BAD OR SAD NEWS

This question looks very unintelligent. In fact, it is. If it's part of the salary, then what's the addition?

Kk4:
Will it be added to already existing salary or its part of their salary?

E be like say your phone dey upside down as you dey try read the news.

Nobody is above mistake.

Biko, just forgive and leave everything and move on. Can’t you see how catastrophic the economy is How do you expect a nursing mother to pay you back when she also has a baby to cater for

Learn to forgive!!

May God help us.

They were so desperate to release the statement without proofreading. They ended up writing "violet" instead of "voilate."

Nothing to show that the above information is correct. Those cars are for a car dealer judging by the number plates.

How many of other institutions did you attend? Kudos for making that CGPA but we still have people graduating with First Class in ATBU. What makes it hardest?

GideonG:
I skipped your post from the mentioned of RIP mum, may her soul Rest In Peace.
I can relate because I was overly elated when I made a CGPA of 4.42 in first semester, though I couldn’t maintain but I still graduated with 2:1 in computer science from the hardest school in Nigeria ATBU

After your secondary school education, you went for apprenticeship instead of going to the University. You learned the trade, became a boss of your own and acquire a degree and every other thing you mentioned at 25. You are not saying the absolute truth.

How can a poor boy with no money and no connections, from an impoverished village with little chance of making it survive in life?

The answer is surprisingly simple. Read on...

Like every other man on earth I was born, but not into a rich family..I never counted it as a loss of privilege because all are not born with a silver spoon...The background of a poor boy has nothing to do with his life and our background must not put our back on the ground.

So, I have a career today, that only existed in my imagination just some few years ago because I fed my dreams and starved my fears. Recognition and discovery of purpose changed it all for me.

I worked it out by first obeying the voice of God, through coming out of my locality because I was not destined to succeed there.

Is it not possible that I could have gone into this corporate City and failed?..Absolutely YES!.

But I have made it a lifelong commitment to acknowledge my fear without catering to it. I have made it second nature to nurture my dreams because that is the only way to turn them into reality...

You see, I finished my secondary school as a Science student, I won some competitive awards along the way and had good WAEC and NECO results...

With my JAMB score, which I later jettisoned and opted for the protracted 7yrs Traditional Apprenticeship scheme, I could have easily got admission into any University of my choice I wanted in Nigeria. Move into the school, study and graduate.

Not bad for a boy that was raised in a village with little or no sure chance of making it in life. The problem was that financially, my hands were tightly strapped behind my back. It was like a huge elephant on my way, I needed to gain financial freedom before thinking of going back to school. I wanted to experience places I occasionally see on television and read about in books...

I wanted the highest academic degree I could get. I want to study Civil  Engineering; my childhood dream to broaden the my scope of my knowledge, challenge my perspectives, make good and quality friends, engage with the world…I wanted more...only if wishes were horses!

I decided go for the traditional apprenticeship program...I temporarily gave up every idea of pursuing my education and became an apprentice...a routine, vague but sure way of getting out of abject poverty. That's if you will-fully pay the price and make the required sacrifices...

The only thing that stood in my way was FEAR! The fear of everybody around me. Mum, Dad, Friends, Siblings, Step brothers and sisters...

Those closest to me didn’t understood why I would want to leave a partially guaranteed average life for an uncertain future. Many have gone that path but couldn't make it to the end but ended up wasting their time.

Where is that?

Do you know anyone there?
‎
Have you ever been there before?

Why not consider a bigger, more diverse city like Lagos or conventional city like Onitsha, where majority of the people from our village housed themselves!?

These among others are just a sample of the questions I was getting from those who were genuinely concerned for me...

Going for this apprenticeship scheme ranks as one of the most uncertain but best decisions I ever made all my life. I have made friends and families here that I’ll keep for life and built relationships with people that will stand the test of time.

This is where I fulfilled a long-cherished dream of becoming a young business man. And, let’s face it, what’s better than living your own dream?! Having people file up in numbers seeking your attention? Getting consistent calls from Friends, Bankers, Suppliers, Customers, Agents etcetera...


Absolutely nothing!

I learned so much about business on my Apprentice and working for my boss that I knew I would be well prepared to set up my own business once I launched out.

The experience was so amazing, though it was protracted and grueling but amidst all, it was worth the price.

Working for my boss is probably some of the best training anyone can get as an entrepreneur, but starting your own business is a completely different thing to working for others.

No matter what obstacles are thrown at you or opportunities come your way, you have to make it happen; there's nobody telling you what to do next or giving you advice.

Obviously, starting your own business will literally change your life. I mean, all aspects of your life. There are more to entrepreneurship than what the majority think of it, and I'm going to tell the story some other day.

You see, It's never your fault that you were born into a poor family. It's ONLY your fault when you choose to remain in that state of poverty. You can change your fate. Trust me!

The dream of every young person born into a poor family is to go to the best schools, graduate with good results, become a successful Doctor, Lawyer, or some other prestigious professions and then get rich afterwards.

After that, it's all easy; vacations in the overseas, a beautiful wife, a great house, nice cars. Sometimes, some people manage to make this dream happen, but it's not a sure-fire thing because life has a nasty habit of getting in the way.

Some of the richest people in this country started poor..I was reading the story of MKO Abiola of blessed memory, how he sold firewood to survive. But, the man went on to become one of the richest Nigerian in history.

I also have a remote mentor called Peter Osalor, he was born poor too but have now become one of the leading Nigerian entrepreneurs today.

I didn't have an easy life either while growing up in my home town, Amanator Isu. I remember sleeping on a straw mat until I turned 18 when I left for the Apprenticeship.

But today, life is different. At 25, I built a befitting house for my Mum at the village, saw my siblings through different universities which I initially couldn't afford to pay for myself, have orphans in schools, recently acquired a prestigious university degree in Business Administration, established businesses that employes several people who through their earning are becoming better for themselves everyday and many more...

Even though the statistics about poverty are depressing -poor people tend to stay poor, just as rich people tend to stay rich. But it's not because poor people are lazy (far from it) or rich people are more industrious (they are not).

It's because of people allowing things to stay the way they are. It's because people who were born poor accept their fate and conclude in their mind that there's nothing they can do about their situation. With that mindset, they are not doing what's expected of them to get out of poverty.

I want to tell you (that have read to this point) that your DREAMS will always exist side by side with your FEARS. Both of them are product of your rich imagination. And you have the power to make one or the other a reality.

Poverty and riches are in itself is a mindset. To have life, to have liberty, to have happiness, you need to feed your dreams and starve your fears. What will prevent you from living the life you want is not lack of money, or lack of time or lack of talent.

What will prevent you from living the life you want is a lack of discipline and a sheer disbelief in your DREAMS. You have to believe your dreams to make them real. On several occasions, people have asked me how I managed to survive poverty?

How can a poor boy with no money and no connections, from an impoverished village make it in life? The answer is surprisingly simple.

I dream.

I dream..

And I keep dreaming..

The life I live today is the product of my dream some years back. I am dreaming right now of the life I want to lead tomorrow and I will not let fear dictate what I can or cannot become.

Enrol for evening class please.
