To be honest, what I see here is a man who has been busy, not necessarily productive.

Your friend sounds like a jack of all trades jumping from one hustle to another like a blind horse.

Yes, he’s hardworking, no doubt.
But sometimes, too many scattered efforts can waste the same years that consistency would have turned into mastery.
If he had picked one of those trades say shoemaking, POS, or even agent work and stayed long enough to grow skill, reputation,
and structure, favour would have met him there.

It’s not every time that life needs a new hustle; sometimes what we need is focus and depth.

He should calm down, stop chasing everything, and rebuild from one thing he truly understands.

God blesses consistency and not confusion

I get your point but d reality is that money is needed in every endeavour in life, when I gave him 100k for pos, on Saturdays or Some days that I am free I go there to see as things are but imagine if someone is using 100k for pos n they are only making gain of 600 or 700 naira per day even after staying there for over 5 months.


It's out of d 700 that he will eat small thing in d afternoon n when he gets home he will want to settle his wife, the day he explained to me I just weak cos deep down I know it's impossible to survive in that kind of situation.

I discussed the shoemaking part with him n he told me

Materials are expensive so shoes are costly n even when he has rich customers they don't buy every month.

I told him to make shoes for d poor to sell fast n he told me to get good sole is 8k upward with other materials n at least he will want to make small change so he will want to sell it for at least 15k n many can't afford it.

He explained how he got loan for shoemaking n he made a lot of shoes, it was when loan was due for payment and he hasn't sold those shoes that he sold them at cheap price for a boutique owner so he could make money.


enthronedbygod1.........please your attention is needed here.

I understand all those challenges, and truly the hustle no easy.
But the truth still remains that money answers to value and consistency. Every business has its slow seasons, even the ones that look lucrative from afar.

The problem I see with your friend is not just lack of capital it’s lack of stability. He hasn’t stayed long enough in one thing to understand the game and create his own space in it.

Every time it gets tough, he jumps to something new. That’s why it looks like nothing is working.

If he had stayed with shoemaking, by now he would have built contacts, loyal customers, and maybe even people who help him get materials cheaper. Nobody starts strong, but people who stay grow strong.

Money follows mastery, not movement.
Tell him to calm down, pick one thing, and build again with sense and patience.
That’s how God blesses a man’s handwork.

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” Proverbs 22:29 (KJV)

So after many years of suffering and prayers, your friend has not been able to find out the cause of his suffering? Then he's a joker who is not ready for life. He is not yet tired of moving in circles. He should check himself well, maybe he's the cause of his problems.

Why doesn't he learn a digital skill
Damolux01 from Nairaland:

"Only lazy and indolent teacher die by hunger. There are lots of digital skills teachers can profit from. When parents pay less than the value given, salaries aren't as such meant to be huge. Teachers of this age should learn skills like Ghostwriting, Online teaching, Proofreading etc."

Please don't listen to superstitions

Even if he did something worng, there are people that are doing at lest 10x worse and nothing
is happening to them.

He just need to learn how to leverage his time and energy in the right places.

Most of the things you mentioned are brick and mortar. Does he not have skills for online, even if it's freelance

the energy everyone put at saying its spiritual and all is crazy,

at some point in life, we all should realize that not everyone will get their heart desire not because you dont try enough but because everyone cant be at the same time, some will be rich, while some will be poor some will hang in-between, not because the poor are not hard working or the rich deserve it but because fate has structured it that way.

i have everything going for me, but i also have something that almost everyone have but i dont not because i dont deserve it but life just want it that way.

tell your friend not to give up, he should continue trying fatai rolling dollar did not make it big as a young chap but at old age, he should keep trying till fate decide otherwise
