The man do well, The boy did well too.

See good Oga na, No be some devils - After serving them for years, They will start looking for an accusation to heap on the young man so as not to settle him.

This one jam better Oga, and probably he was a good boy to the Oga as well. Nice one 👍

When you pass through this process believe me you will be able to handle money very well. But you see street money that 15m fit nor reach 6 months. No be cause but money that wasn't built by with reality of life will always vanished except you are very sharp and you don't fancy material things.

Its good to be good...

But then again,I know there will be one banny sitting and crossing her mumu leg somewhere by now, waiting for the innocent apprentice to come so that she can lure him into spending the money on her

But I hope the young man will be wise enough to know the difference between fake love and true love from henceforth so that he can invest wisely.

Congratulations but be careful and be weary of leeches and parasites.
I believe you know Nigerians very well

Wow. That's nice. I did same thing some years back

Congratulations to both of them

Tomorrow one ronu will be wondering how he made his money,because he came to Lagos with “Ghana must go” but 15M Dey acct!

Igbo apprenticeship system never fails!

People dey blow that one at a sitting for exotic hotels o

The ingenuity of the Igbo is worth celebrating. It is not a coincidence that they are key players in the Nigerian economic landscape.

The apprenticeship system they practice had helped countless numbers of young men find their footing. It is commendable.

I was sharing something with my wife recently how a group of young men(all multi millionaires currently) in my location, got thier break. It all began with their boss, an elderly man now. He came to town in 1991 with practically nothing. But he started paper business. He had served in Onitsha but was settled and he moved to our town. He brought two boys with him. They served for years and he settled them. They went on to be even bigger than him with multiple young men under them. They settled those young men and those young men, all less than 35 have huge paper businesses of their own. One of them has a shopping plaza with 64 shops currently. Non of them bothered with formal education but how much education do you need to control tens of millions? With lawyers and educated people at your beck and call?

You will be hard pressed to find any shopping plaza in Makurdi, Benue state that isn't owned by an Igbo man. An Igbo man who set out with nothing really.

Diligent service pays.

Lovely

But that man don't look like he got 15m


Na skit

Devilish bannies everywhere
😂😂😂😂

Nnukwu Oga

You have done well.


Most umu boyi want to be Oga these days without going ife Oga ha gara.

That's so lovely, it will go a long way for the boy, if he manages it well.
If you like go dey carry olosho for Ikeja.

Next thing this boy will do is to go to the village to go marry his crush.

One useless, lazy and good for nothing girl that's not even a virgin.
IMAGINE A GIRL THAT VARIOUS VILLAGE BOYS WILL HAVE PASSED AROUND LIKE FOOTBALL... HONESTLY, MANY OF THOSE VILLAGE GIRLS ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE OLOSHO HOOK UP GIRLS WE HAVE IN THE CITY...

Few months ago, if he said hello to her, she won't even respond, but because he's now a millionaire.....



Naso much of dem dey.

This is such a heartwarming story! Well It’s inspiring to see the Igbo apprenticeship system in action, that's their area of expertise 🫡 i love such, rewarding hard work and loyalty with life-changing opportunities.

The businessman’s generosity and the apprentice’s gratitude remind us of the power of mentorship and trust. A beautiful example of building generational wealth and uplifting others! And most importantly Hard Work Pays!!👏

For that to look like that, it means he was really diligent. Not like the one that is serving me currently, he has more clothes and girlfriends than I.

Meanwhile, the amount of money involves in settlement depends on the line of business and the worth of the boss(oga) , I know a boy that rejected 50M settlement, instead took his oga to court. I also know a man that settled his boy with 50ft full container of goods

Dey play. People that look poorer than him dey Ladipo market wey dey waka inside mud with rainboot. im money dey learn work for were dose ones dey.

Come to think of it, you don't see any Obinna's law, Mayowa's principle or Mensah's theorem in any foreign textbook. That means Africans contribute nothing to body of knowledge.

It's interesting to know that this Igbo business model is being studied at the Harvard Business School. At least Africa is adding something to business education.

Make this man dey careful oh e face don show. E no go fit disguise to travel home

That's what the oga saw in him.
He knows the apprentice can utilize that money very well

He will be successful if he continues as he served his master without falling into the bad advice of his bad friends

Modern day slavery

Oj

Nice .

That means he was earning 178k naira every month

And you put it on social media
