If I had known what I know now, I would have gotten a lot further than I do now. Nonetheless, I am pleased with my success.

What we study does not matter. Just get any degree, and you can navigate your way through. The only advantage we have is that we know what is currently trending, and even if we do not study it in school, we can easily learn it. Why? Your first step should be to find a job and earn a small income in your 20s after leaving school. Become an expert in what is popular and make a living from it.

With your savings, you should do what rich men do to increase their wealth, which includes:

1. Start a business. Look for disruptive technology and innovation to solve the problems that the majority of people face, and you will make money. You may start a business and find yourself in the same league as salary earners, which is something you want to avoid. This is why you must be prepared before starting a business. And you prepare by first gaining experience earning money elsewhere and learning business management.

2. Invest in both paper and digital assets. Learn to trade or find an expert who can do it for you. Forex, futures, stocks, crypto, etc. There are three types of trading strategies: day trading, short term trading, and long term. Most people enter long term when they are unable to read charts well. Therefore, you should look into stocks and crypto. The issue is that S&P 500 and it's like generates around 18% turn over presently annually, while digital assets give like 150% ....but it is a double edged sword. You must understand the difference between gambling and investment. This is one area all rich men go into. Elon is currently working on making the doge currency stronger. Hmm. This should teach you something about digital assets.

3. Real estate: This area is very technical because there is not as much money as there used to be, but if you understand it, you will make a lot of money. The annual rental strategy is a nonsense business. I can not believe Nigerians are still building to collect annual rent. Lol...when monthly rent is no longer satisfactory in most places. The new deal involves short-term leases. It is a lucrative business. Or you get some money, buy a house, and then resell it after remodeling it to maximize your profit.

These are the three areas you should focus on. If you do not do any of the above, you will not be rich. You van be comfortable. As a result, if you have not yet begun, your first task is to become an expert in a trending business area and sell your products or services for a fee....or you use your knowledge to find a job and earn a reasonable salary.

If you can not find a good source of income, you will be stuck for a long time, believing witches and wizards are after you. Then you will have to urgently consider relocation, which is why you should seriously consider JAPA. Of course, starting with a security job, UBER driving, or any other casual job is a good way to get started. Then you can start improving and increasing your wealth from there.

Again, look into a way to make 1 instead of the 0 you are currently making. You can multiply one.

Good luck to everyone.

ycat:
Which 250 million people in Nigeria will support her? Ko shi lo! As we celebrated her here, didn't some of you say she's not a Nigerian, now she is? She's Yoruba and we love her just the way she is.

Segxydube:
Lol... So you now judge intelligence based on schooling? 🤣🤣

Damn... You know nothing

Segxydube:
So to you now, what davido said is what has not allowed investors to come to nigeria? 🤣🤣🤣

How did you treat the ines that came and left? You are just brainless

udemzyudex:
Who initiated the cease fire?
Who said there won't be any cease fire until Israel leaves Gaza?

Let's start from here first.

miketayo:
lolz, you sef dey calm down. na Nairaland be dis no be linkedIn.

miketayo:
dude, you are talking with a full-stack developer. your entire text was AI-generated.
stop embarrassing yourself.

miketayo:
look at this clown responding with AI
Next time read through what your AI generated and fix it before posting it online

Omoslim26:
You are a big hypocrite.
You are asking him to report your co tribally bigoted hate-filled fellow

miketayo:
you are not being honest here or you are just ignorant. We got most of our debt canceled during OBJ and got more canceled after, we get interest-free loans every now and then, and we got looted funds from past leaders too but what happened to it?
Begging is another reason other nations don't take us seriously, a wealthy country that won't stop begging and borrowing.
Countries with far less resources have done better (read about Singapore). Honestly, you sound like someone that hasn't been to the airport, and you claim to have passports of 1st world countries. lol
Stop looking at Nigeria as a charity case, when we know we have enough to fix it.

kinguwem:
We don't need to take treatment for other people's headache. They have a problem and they are out to solve it. We've problems but instead of solving them, we prefer to run elsewere to join others in solving their problems.
Unrestricted immigration results in overpopulation and its problems: increased crime rate, overstretching of public utilities etc.
There where things work, politicians discuss problems and proffer solutions before getting into office unlike here where a leader starts learning the problems and forms several committees to study the problems before thinking of solutions.
Slave trade was abolished some centuries ago but we still believe it's why we're not progressing. our problems are tied to massive corruption, nepotism, sectionalism (ethnic, religious etc.), religious fanatism & other terrorist and criminal vices.
The question is, why does a Nigerian sell is property, withdrawn is live savings and borrow money to run to his former colonist? Obviously we have serious problems. Let's concentrate on our problems and allow others to solve theirs.

XAUBulls:
Kemi's submissions are largely correct here. Back in the day when Kemi's parents lived briefly in the United Kingdom and then gave birth to her in 1980, the unbridled immigration leading to overpopulation and unemployment wasn't there. But within the last 25 years, illegal immigration has gained momentum in the United Kingdom thereby hampering the socioeconomic lives of existing legal immigrants and British citizens. I remember that folks of Nigerian descent used to fly regularly on holidays, for studies or business trips from Lagos Airport into Gatwick Airport OR Heathrow Airport in London via Nigeria Airways and British Caledonian Airways from the late 1970s right into the 1980s and folks of Nigerian descent were respected in the UK as big spenders. These were the things I personally experienced back in the late 1970s right into the 1980s till British Caledonian got subsumed into British Airways in 1988.

In the grand scheme of things, NO country (Nigeria included) would allow such irresponsible illegal immigration and overcrowding in the name of being politically correct and this is why Donald Trump is also going to do the same by embarking on one of the largest deportations of illegal immigrants in U.S. history from 2025.

Last but NOT least, Kemi is married to a British Jewish banker (who is about her age in the early 40s) who incidentally had worked in Nigeria before their paths crossed in the United Kingdom, Kemi is NOW fully an integral part of the UK society by marriage to a British Ashkenazi Jew, therefore it's WRONG to accuse her of betraying Nigeria. Once a British-Yoruba or Nigerian-American woman has chosen to marry a White man and integrate into his country and have biracial children for him, then she has EVERY right to seek and fight for what is BEST for her children, family and the immediate environment she lives in against high crime rates, unemployment, hyperinflation, etc.

My ONLY red flag observation about Kemi is that in one of her videos, she was "trying too hard" to make a convincing argument against some form of reparations which she said was blackmail, BUT in reality, there were fundamental human rights violations in some countries such as Kenya that British colonialism took place. The French colonial rule and Belgian rule in the Congo were even WORSE than the British Empire's rule. She'll have to avoid overzealousness, tone down her words and think deeply before saying anything that would backfire on her down the road so that she doesn't inadvertently burn boths sides of the bridge. Period.

You guys suddenly turn to morality police, meanwhile I can open 100s of threads, once it involves Igbos, y'all rush inside to show off your hate

miketayo:
uhmm hmm Nigerian with few passports its well.
we could say that for so many things, if there was no internet there would be no Nairaland. But this is not the case, her parents immigrated she got their papers so let it be.
Hypothetically, if 300 million people passed the background check and are eligible to be granted a visa to the UK, should they all be given?
I have been saying this long before I knew there was someone called Kemi. it's the same reason we had Ghana must go, every country has its limit, and if the UK said they are nearing theirs respect it.

miketayo:
Well I am not disappointed, you backed up your initial long gibberish writeup with a dumb shorter one.
Which is easier to manage, a group of 10 or a group of 100 people?
This is not about blaming immigrants or about preventing Nigerians (obviously your fear), but allowing the right immigrants in by limiting the numbers and conducting a thorough check on who is allowed into your country.
Go read what Poland and Hungary are doing which is working for them, Germany is regretting opening its borders and is deporting people anyhow. Not every immigration policy is about Nigerians, that is your fear
Her parents are immigrants, not her. what generation is irrelevant.

santaclaws:
The man has nothing to offer. He's cognitively challenged, everyone around him knows this but sentiments won't allow people say the truth. A governor from a rich family who couldn't pass WAEC exams, isn't that a sign of cognitive issues?

Once he hears a drum play, he starts dancing without control... May God give Osun state better leaders, not all these APC and PDP mediocre governors!

miketayo:
you wrote a whole lot of bullcrap.
So all colonized country by the Britains should move all their citizens to the UK, since it is now our birthright.
There is a good reason why Immigrants or asylum seekers from certain countries need more scrutiny than others.
She was born in the UK even though she had some education in Nigeria, so not an immigrant.
She said what is good for her country, let us fix our own country.

AllLovingGod:
And funny enough, she will most likely succeed. Lol!

MsIjeoma:
Interesting. Well, I can assure you that you're mistaken. And I'm definitely not dark skinned, so...

MsIjeoma:
Na you Sabi. Never heard of her in my life. Name sounds goofy too. Lol

MsIjeoma:
Ijeoma Pepsi? Lol no.

CrestGlamour:
If you believe that Peter can still perform better as a Nigeria president, chat with Me, my number is on the signature. Join our initiative and let's discuss.

CodeTemplarr:
Which is greater, the wealth the british empire got from former colonial subjects or the ones the former colonial subjects have taken to Britain after independence?
Throughout history, stronger empires have fone far worse than what britain did to those they colonised. Can you run to the rich Arab countries and talk this nonsense?
