All your points are factually truth but that number one is no longer applicable in this country. A man earning 70k with a wife and two children, how do you expect them to survive? That 70k is not even enough to feed on for two weeks.

Some can never become rich even if you give them all of this world. A guy got arrested after stealing his boss's money, a sum of over 15 million. Guess what?! He used over 10 million for betting and lost. You can imagine?

That's not true Oga. Even in this terrible and bad government, people are still making it big.
Very few.


The issue you black Nigerians have is selfishness. You guys are too selfish. Once you and your loved ones are succeeding, it means everyone is succeeding or you assume that those that are not succeeding are lazy.


You guys don't seek for communal prosperity, you seek for individual success.


Most Nigerians are doing everything humanly possible to break even and to break away from financial lack and poverty but the Nigerian environment and system isn't favoring them and their efforts.


Young entrepreneurs don't have access to low interest loans to startup their dream business, no good paying job they can do to start up their life after years in higher institution.


You manage to start the business, no or low patronage due to low purchasing power of Nigerians who are only surviving by the day and only buying food and few things they need to survive. Such environment don't encourage or favor young business owners and entrepreneurs. Many businesses in Nigeria shutdown or fail due to low or no patronage as a result of increasing poverty among Nigerians.


I am in this sector so I know what I am saying, APC have done so much harm to Nigeria, especially Tinubu's regime.


So many manufacturing firms have shutdown or relocated outside Nigeria due to low patronage and high running cost. I am into this so when I speak listen

Easy to say.... people forget we r leaving in a country were everything is against u
You dey mind those motivational jagons that doesn't really align with living reality in Nigeria.

From my assessment of Nigeria business environment, you have to do a business that 95% of Nigerians can't afford to do to break even. Majority of small scale businesses die off withing two years, not because the owners are lazy or doing it in wrong way, but extremely harsh business environment.

I laugh when i hear these motivational speakers says "save and invest", is it from the money that is barely enough to eat and pay bills that majority of average Nigerians will save and invest with?

I'll tell you the no.1 reason why most people are poor - They think someone else (in the past, present or future) owes them and use that as an excuse at making no effort to getting off poverty.

Breaking news for you - NOBODY OWES YOUR SORRY ASS NOTHING!

Very concrete truth huh

To break through in this Nigeria current economy and biased system...

You need the mercy of supreme God.

If you think your skills and strength will give you wealth... You will just died trying...

If your phone doesn't ring up to 10 times and above daily, I mean calls from persons that wants to make enquiries about what you sell or offer, calls from clients, call from customers, calls from business associates and workers etc, my brother you will remain poor for a long time

This is 2025, there are people who no one calls them except maybe family members or their partner checking on them once in a while, how can you then make money?

If your phone is not busy, your account will be empty!

[quote author=AutomatedMoney post=134302368][/quote]And guy forever stop mentioning elon musk, Dangote and the other likes...

because you do not have the kind of business chain of networks they enjoy...

Also they have access to Bank Loans in FX...

Just keep quiet and face front...

Which IT skill do you want to learn in Nigeria... That Nigeria is not against you...

You need good Devices...

Access to online libraries..

Good and reliable uninterrupted internet

Uninterrupted power supply

You need someone .. who knows the way to guard you...

You need financial support at the early stage..

Now tell me .. how many people,have unhindered access to the mentioned above?

If it's to misleading people.. Nigerians are very generous doing that..

How many people are actually helping there neighbors?

Families and friends don't want to watch you grow....

Everything looks dark and slim...

Don't know which one is worse... National disaster or National Economic disaster?

Correct. You see this poor of a thing comes in through addiction, addiction comes in through laziness and laziness comes in through procrastination. let's take SLEEP as example , you always sleep when there's no job or work , wakes up at noon for at least 3days , ( what I mean is , you always wake up 12 0'clock ) . You body will adapt to this sleeping duration, it will takes will-power to overcome it, you will be tired to do anything and that begets laziness, you'll start procrastinating what you ought to start or where to go .

Make you con get mama or brother Wey dey give you food and some little change , na on top them you go bank on . The one Wey go ruin ones life be say make you con go get friends Wey dey lazy , smokers , alcoholic and stakers. Na there person life go crash finally once you got wooed into their circle . Nothing for person again than , Tuale , bros can I see 200 naira ? .. them plenty for here o ..
