That was why I said long story cut short..
My sister borrowed me 50k,then I went and meet one of my ogas customers that do give him goods,I begged him to be giving me goods as well,but he was scared based on that I just started new,after much pleas,he collected the 50k and gave me goods worth 150k,I was able to pay the balance on time he gave me another goods of 100k,that was how he started giving me goods of 500k,1millon and more,I used my land to borrow 500k from micro finance bank, bought a new Bajaj motor cycle 2019 which I do use for commercial purpose at night after closing from the shop.along the line I was able to get some alaba guys number,this guy's cemented my move to next level there give me goods worth millions and also will give you time to sale and return the money back.these are the ways I scaled through.for those mocking or doubting.although am not already rich,but I thank God I can't be called poor.

Kudos! Man..

Your story is clear.. It takes one who knows businesses and true son of the soil to understand your story perfectly..

You are soo fucused as functional real man..

Most of our yahoo younger boys no go believe this process...And I understand.

Any serious businessman,starts with exactly the way you did...One mogul must give you huge goods to sell and repay later...When you get to that peak, remember to help one focused youth in your line of business become somebody in life..

Givers never lack.

Laughing in Igbo..

Mariangeles:
She made the Igbo language attractive and interesting to learn for umu ndi Igbo of this generation.
Especially for ndi nu odu ije.
She made being Igbo a thing of pride for her generation.
I admire her for those more than anything.



Yes, but the meaning is beautiful.
One can still dare to name their child that.

There are also names that sound beautiful than their meaning.




That is true.
Someone even bragged about it that we copy their names.

I thought about star as well, and thought Kpakpando sounded weird too.
I never knew they already bear it sef.
It sounds strong in Igbo, so it'll suit a boy child better.



The name is so creatively cool.
Our version will be Gawarachi.

You know what? He can call his daughter that, and still name her jewel as her English name.
A win win in both ways.

One nollywood actor named his child Chisomaga. I like the name.



What if you don't like your wife's English name?
What if she doesn't like yours?
Won't you get bored calling and hearing your own name over and over?
I don't fancy that style of parents giving their child their names.

Exactly...She made Igbo soo cute...I av been an advocate of IGBO speaking sha.

Yes Kpakpandu is cute guy...DOS then for SUG...

I like names wey carry weight...Just like mine combined with my surname..

My course adviser was like legodi omaricha aha i zaga, ma na i wu bad guy..

I laughed eeh..

Jeweluchi is creative....That Gawarachi, wunu Gawarachiozi abii..

Chisomaga wunu normal...My grandma proffered way of calling my name half..Even my cousin sef.

How will I not like my wife's name kwanu? I am doing it to get the child attached and bonded very well.

My wish wu my first issue wuru Nwaanyi...O ga wunu hand bag m...

Daddy and daughter strong bond stuff..

Mariangeles:
Chimamanda has a very creative mind. She's culturally creative.
Did you know she came up with the name Chimamanda?
I'm yet to read her books though, just her articles.


OK. I wanted to translate the word Dew in Igbo as a name for a girl, but it didn't sound beautiful.

Yes...Her name wunu Ngozi nwa professor adiche

Half of a yellow sun..wu nkem guru la..

Yet to read Americana and purple hibiscus..She combined things from her growing up, to write a lot...

And she grew up in the west..But knows Igbo a lot kara di anyi wu ndi toro ebe a.

Dew wu nu Igirigi na Igbo...Oops! Sounded odd..

Anambra people are creative with native names..Then in school, O nwere a guy aha ya kpakpandu Nwazota..Which is Star.

His real name o.

Very cute cute names..

Ebuka guru nwa ya jeweluchi..I know he only want that Jewel Obi-Uchendu.

For me, first nwa ga aza English name my wife, Ma ta wuru nwaanyi.

Ya wuru Nwoke, O ga awu my English name..

Then native names will be Unique.

Mariangeles:
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

If you think about it, mkpurummiri should mean Crystal, which is a very beautiful name for girl, but they ruined it.

Crystal meth....Lol

Mkpurummiri...Ya wuru ndi ebe ahu i nor, ha si o wu Impuru mmiri

Mariangeles:
Kinda. It's creative and daring.

I was talking to someone about how our people hardly come up with new names.
They mostly just stick to the old names.

There are some names in English that I would love to translate to the Igbo version, but they don't sound beautiful in Igbo. Even though the meaning is beautiful.

As in eeh so daring..

Truth...We are used to those chioma, chiamaka, kamsy, kosy etc...

Na new beautiful and well routed names na ala anyi ka m ga akpo umu m.

Mmiriaku was used by chimamanda in her book..Creative thinking.


Mention the names let me see how creative they are? Ma otokwara uto na nti.

Mariangeles:
Mkpuruoma. How daring!

Ha wurukwanu ejima? Ha a zawa mkpuruoma na mkpurummiri.

Agreed!

Flamees:
Same with me i limit my friends
Some think I'm Introvert But That's how my life is
i don't like having many friends

It is good to be an introvert and achieving glaring results, than extrovert without nothing...

Moreover, Introverts are big achievers and usually sweep people off their feet..You can't even see them coming.

Flamees:
We have Levels of trust tho.
Like my Friends don't know much about me

Don't think so bro. Nothing is hidden under the sun..

We wake up everyday to trust somebody knowingly or unknowingly..

My advise to people is limit your circle..So you can figure out who is biting and blowing you air same time.

Circle of friends on same mission with dreams and aspirations is a goal.

Friends work in categories neither male or female..

People I call friends from the male side, are all people with similar goals in life..People I can say I need 100k now, and next will be which of your account.

They are not upto 8.

That is my circle.

I am giving you a clue as a bro...

As for friends from female gender, I have my criteria...You must be intelligent and smart first before I look at her beauty and feminine features.
They have loads of experience and educating conversations to offer.

So brother, know what you want in a friendship from any gender, so you don't betrayed by anyone..

And lastly, never expect anything from anyone..Except your wife..Who is actually your better half..Her submission and loyalty (Love).

I love them...They behave differently from foreign breeds.

Emmydarsy:
I met this friend of mine, Ayo during our school days in one of the schools in ondo state, that was in 2005. Infact, we got along with eachother immediately we met when doing our course registration, since we were admitted into same Accounting dept. Afterwards, we got so closed to a point where we had to share the same room till our final year. So, while in 200l, I was dating a 100l girl, which happened to be the only babe I was dating in school, even though I had one other I was dating in Lagos before I got admission. There was much love between us that almost everyone on campus knew about our relationship. It was just like we were married. I dated this babe till our first semester, 400l before I began to observe some changes about her which I never knew and understood the cause till we finished from school, went for service and all go out different ways. Ay, on the other hand used to be those serious type that would read and study on their own after lectures, spend most times in the library, which made his social life bored, that he only managed to have only one particular girl and their relationship never seems to last. But that never changed the fact that we were good friends who helped eachother in all manners of ways, financially, spiritually, educationally all through our stay in school, and even till present. Now, here is the point....After school, I lost contact with this said girl and she became the past but Ay has been there as my usual friend, even though we base in a different state. We are used to travelling to attend any special occasion of ours. I'm married with kids and he is married too with kids, and life has been fair to us, atleast.
But last month, this my ex sent me a request on FB and we got each other's contact, so after so much conversation thereafter, there was a confession and revelation from her about my friend. In a nutshell, Ay told her about the girl I was dating in Lagos, that each time, I say I want to travel to Lagos to go see my parent and fetch some money, it's a lie, that it's my Lagos gf I was missing and going to check upon. Well, which was truely part of the reason I do travel then, as I will always tell my friend about my Lagos gf. That he further told her I never loved her and was playing on her. And this my babe was always comfortable staying and sleeping in our room then even when am away as she is just so fond of our side. Laslas Sha, that my Friend took advantage of her n they bleeped. That it was because of that she gave me and "us" distance, as she couldn't look both of us in the face, that she was ashamed of herself. Lol, A scene of over 15years got fresh in my memory and got me wondered. She asked abt him, that do we still talk? I told her Yes! And she begged me not to tell him, that I should just forget it, since we all are happily married now. Cos she is married too with her own kids. I had to call Ay and ask because, he was and still a good friend to the best of my knowledge. To my surprise, even before I asked him, he already had a hint of what I wanted to ask him, because I first asked him if he remember her(mentioned her name) and he said yes, that did I come across her somewhere, I said yes, that she reveal some things to me, lol. He immediately start begging that it's been long he had wanted to tell me himself and apologized. I told him it's okay....that I genuinely forgive him, just that i was surprise and never believe. Even, If he had deny that she lied against him, I might probably be forced to believe him. So I told him it's cool, that have forgiven him. But the question is, till date, if he has any business in Lagos, he still come to my house to pass the night, even when am on night shift. Is it advisable to still trust him 100%? Note: Aside this stain, Ay is a nice guy and would do anything within his capacity for me as a friend!!!

Even if you trust your wife 100%, please don't keep yam near goat...It is a parable.

Women are Emotionally wired, smart men take advantage of that.

If he can bleep your gf, he can do a wife..

Trust betrayed cannever get back to original for me.

Flamees:
Never trust anybody

But you have to trust someone..

chatinent:
After school, I worked a while. I was this hardworking chap who wouldn't like any errors or queries attached to my name at work for any reasons. I came very early, did my duties in time, and due to my religious obligations as one of Jehovah's Witness, I was honest in all my dealings.

The job itself was a leopard’s tree. Since it was a private business, and the manager a very greedy man who loots the chief oga at whim, trust me, your honesty is a turn-off.

The work was becoming unbecoming and I couldn't continue wasting my life for a 7-5 job. It wasn't like the salary befitted the workload!

I had to quit!

I also had one small car I bought when I no dey think of anything. I sold it and used part of it to buy a land like that. I had saved some N800k already. So I paid my rent with N200k.
So here's what I did:

I thought of a business that'll likely yield profit immediately, and around my budget. I had been to Togo and remembered how selling First Grade OK shoes was the new gold for students and people who wanted a side hustle.

I travelled down there then and returned with 100 pairs of OK shoes. As at then, I bought it for N370k.

N370k + logistics rounded the money up to N400k.

Now, I put the goods in one room in my apartment and the chase for a shop began. Since I couldn't afford those ones of N1m that where located at the heart of the business in my location, I opted for an affordable one.

In fact, everything for the rent was some 180k.

Omo, looking for a shop no bi beans.

I did the painting and decor, carpentry (learnt in school), and electricals (learnt in school).

Materials I bought was some N15k. I was left with N5k or less.


Breakthrough
As I cleaned and sampled my petty goods, some customers were already purchasing. Mehn, after the whole stress that day, I made N30k.

In fact, it was then I said I wouldn't work for anyone and be answering “sir” upandan. I'm quite hardworking and in a short time, from retailing...I began ordering in tonnes and have a warehouse.


It has been easy as it is written here but I have seen people ask if N600k can make any profit. Yes, it can. I also do some side hustles like research writing, proofreading, hardware repairs on PC and tracking of lost devices, computer consultancy, and work as an academic assistant.

So I think it all depends on you! Maybe I have not reached the height I want to reach, just mehn, the way my life every year becomes better than the last no bi beans. As a first son, and to say my nuclear family bi like an extended family, I know I am trying...cos it's not easy at all to carry many people's responsibility as yours.

Oops! I went straight to reading...Then saw the boss hailing and behold Chati..

Not bad bro...Life of a hustler and a first son..

Na wife remain for you...
