Congratulations man! You are a very brave man with a bright and quick mind. Super talented and highly gifted. Your type of gift is rare,it takes one serious firm to spot you and they will pin you down for life with juicy and extravagant salary offers.

I am only concern how your story went where you narrated how you first made your first N20,000,000(Twenty Million Naira!). Even whilst I am not doubting you, I think it's inappropriate, or should I say unbelievable that a contractor could entrust you with such huge amount as a first timer!

You never had a registered business or company!

You have never had a corporate account that can take such amount of money!

You have no treaceable office of enquiry

And many more others...

How long did it took you to withdraw the money, since your student's account withdrawal limit was N500k?


While this story maybe overhyped, I think you have successfully succeeded by inspiring great hope in me, cos what I am doing, I am certainly going to work harder, since what you narrated here can easily be replicated, regardless of whatever business you are into...

Civil Engineering is an occupation for intelligent, social, smart and hard-working people with great sense of humour. As a civil engineering graduate or undergraduate, you're expected to be civil and think ahead by relating with people of all walks of life. Also, you're expected to be well equipped with the technical know-how to succeed. Civil engineering is not mainly grammatical profession but practically and design skills related in addition to management and negotiation attributes.

I was 14 years old when I was offered admission to study building technology at Delta States Polytechnic, Ozoro. During my 2 years of study, I was able to think ahead, relate with different people and established a good relationship. I met someone who advised me to go for building/civil engineering designs, costing and construction skill during my industrial training. During my 1 year industrial training I didn't focus on making money but on how to get the technical know-how to succeed in the construction field. I learnt how to design all types of buildings using software such as AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCad etc. I also learnt structural analysis. A year later, I was offered admission to study Civil engineering at Delta States University. While in the University, I always sell myself, designing, analysis and costing skills to others. I also taught a lot of my colleagues and other engineering departmental guys how to design using engineering softwares. In so doing, I became popular among my engineering collagues and others regarding designs, analysis, costing and project execution/supervision. I do get small designs and construction contracts of residential buildings. While in the University I was leaving well and responsible for paying all my tuition fees without bothering my parents. All my family members, friends, church members aand neighbors are aware of my expertise in building/civil designs, analysis, costing, construction and supervision.

On a fateful day after my graduation from the University, I got a call from a strange number. I answered and was told someone gave my phone number regarding execution of a building/civil construction projects. With joy in my heart, I said yes I can handle any kind of building/civil engineering projects. He responded, I will get back to you in two days time.

I was wondering if the person wanted to play or fool me. So, in 2 days time, I got another call from the same person. He said, come to my house and let discuss. When I got to his house, he asked if I can design and handle an estate project ? I boldly said yes with smile. He briefed me on the proposed estate design and how they wanted it. He said go and work on the design without giving me a Kobo. However, I was surprised and curious to know how he got my contact. So, I politely asked him, sir, may I know who recommended me? He said, his son who attended Delta States Polytechnic, Ozoro told him about me. Meanwhile, I couldn't clearly figure out the name of his son, because the dad didn't introduce his full self to me. I couldn't recognized him because he was abroad for many years. He just returned to Nigeria 3 months ago of which I had move out from that location. As I was discussing with the dad, the son showed up smiling at me. So, I suddenly recall how I was a close pal of him back in the Polytechnics days. We do hangout together and discuss the future ahead.

I was really happy because I knew this is an opportunity to sell myself and expertise. I came up with 3 different good design concepts and presented to the man. 2 weeks later, I was invited to explain the 3 design concepts. I did as i was directed. Behold, they were impressed and told me to do the costing. I had to run a thorough costing of the proposed project which was six hundred and seventy five million naira (N675,000,000.00) only.

They all accepted and adopted the costing to be N670,000,000. To my greatest joy, the project was awarded for me to supervised. They brought 4 other site engineers while I was contracted to be the project superviser and Manager.

I was asked to drop my account details of which I did. 3 weeks later, I got an alert of 200,000,000.00 million naira as mobilisation and to get the project started.
When I got to the bank the next day, to my shock, my bank account has been frozen. I had to submit credentials to upgrade my account because I was still using student account. The project was executed and commissioned without any failure. I delivered excellently and the man and his family, friends and workers were impressed.

I made my first good 7 figures from this project and since then till date, the story has been more successful with good earnings of 7 figures through building/civil engineering.

Civil engineering is still one of the best course to study. However, you have to be serious during your years in the Polytechnics or University and during your industrial training. Equip youself and be prepared for any design, analysis, costing and construction opportunities/tasks that may come your way regarding your course of study. Opportunities are always opened for civil engineering graduates and undergraduates but the problem is that most of them lack the technical know-how to deliver excellently and succeed if given a project to handle. The first to fifth/tenth projects you will handle as civil engineering graduate or undergraduate will determine if you will go far in the profession or not based on your performance. These projects will always speak on your behalf and determine if you're worthy of recommendation. People will start to search for you and hire your services if you're able to deliver excellently handling contracts and projects. This is inspiring. I hope to get to this level someday. I am an undergraduate student of Civil Engineering, it would be an honour to be mentored by you sir..


Thanks.

you clearly missed my point. I said, structural engineer is where civil engineer comes in. Structural engineer designed based on architectural recommendations. Except it's steel or predominantly structural construction like bridges and so on. But on building, I wouldn't pay you cents to design my building because you'll only waste my money, designing structural members where it is not necessary. No be today we dey reach site, reduce numbers of unnecessary columns and unnecessary steel members because the structural engineer always think structure and not really workability.

You're simply what they call a lucky Bastard. This doesn't make your smart or better. You can't be a good civil engineer in school, it can only be because of long years in practice.

Now, that being said- you designing a structure is the job of an architect, supervision is the job of a builder and the structural aspects is for a structural engineer, in which you come in..

And nobody would pay ₦200,000,000 into a savings account for a job just based on recommendation because clearly you were a novice. Lass lass, if they were desperate to help you, they'll attach you with a major construction firm and pin you as a head of department.

My point, you are just one of the lucky bunch, you're not smart or very good and you're probably just a liar

You think say he go take you serious with this your moniker

Fiction! You must be a good writer. Your motivational books should be a best seller to some lazy azz MFr's. Trash the idea of hating cos some of us earn a whole damn lot but we don't come to a site like NL to show off.

Civil engineering, architecture and interior decor very lucrative. My friend that is into interior decor. I was with him last week and I notice his acct balance while he was making a transfer. The balance was 8m last week wed. Today Monday I saw 18m. Funds meant for projects and definitely he will get like 1m extra for his personal use because na hausa boy with Igbo sense. He is handling like 4 separate projects in pH and one in Owerri. About 5 in Abuja. He has done jobs for garba shehu, buhari's aide. Omo me wey read petroleum nothing to show for...last last skill is the ultimate

Every body is perfect in/her field of operation provided you know what you want in life. I as a person, i graduated as MECHANICAL ENGINEER (production) , during my IT, I spent roughly six months without a dime as transport, but during the period I was able to be Good in LATHE MACHINE OPERATION, ARC WELDING, MACHINE MAINTENANCE etc, after our IT program, we were only 2 person's out of 185 engineering students that was able to work with machines in school. I am proud to say that I am skillful in terms of Engineering so my boss be focused and guided on your possuits then the sky will be your limit

First and foremost, I want to thank you for taking your time to write a very big story.

The following points indicates that you were not saying the truth.
1) it's only architect that can conceptualize the building structure.
2) you can't do a structural design without having a senior colleague to check it.
3) you failed to tell us your years of experience.
4) you failed to tell us the name of the estate you built. No of units, bungalow, duplex and so on.

simhosting:


The guy worked from home first.

I made my first 5 million working from home.

Legitimate Job from home is good.

richmote:

What kind of jobs

atheistandproud:
First off.

Bank transfers over 100m don raise red flags from the bank for money laundering.

The story sweet for ear but e get as e be sha.

Anyways, congratulations!

Every human no matter how good u are needs luck at some point. That thing u call luck is also termed opportunity.

U think Otedola, dangote, alakija or adenuga made it without elements of luck??

Luck and how u capitalize on it can Change ur whole life. If u don’t know.
