1m is like $700. Easy to gather in this Tinubulation. I am not trying to belittle 1m but wait till your rent is due in Lagos, the amount you hear will scare the 1 million |

In what sense? What part of my piece suggests such? Asking people with dirty source of livelihood to stay off here so as to encourage the genuine hustlers translates to illegality to you...... Well done.why the affront . Surely, Skeleton dey ur cupboard[/quote] |

I made my first million before resuming my first day at the office. My relocation allowance plus other incovenience allowances gave me my first 1.6m. It was a good start for me. |

Wait, so there are people who are grown and never made 1 million Naira? Thats less than $800 na. Wow! Not mocking anyone tho, I'm just surprised. Made my first one million at age 21 in 2008 selling ebooks for 2k. Sold about 600 copies after running an advert on one newspaper that year, Success Digest paper. Adjust that to inflation and it should be over 10 million Naira today. I have made several tens of millions over and over and over again and gotten broke over and over and over again since that time. Going broke, getting back up, going broke again and getting up. Now I am up again, hopefully I wont go back broke again. Its been one hell of a journey. |

| Re: How Long Did It Take You To Make Your First 1 Million Naira? by Bankowner: 11:26pm On Jul 17 |
My first million+ was from profit sharing in one of the commercial banks back in the days. I was about to sleep when the alert hit. You'll guess right that I didn't sleep through the night. |

WantsandMore:I am one hell of a risk taker. I am not resting until I become billionaire in dollars. In chasing the big bag, you risk more. Everytime I crashed, its because I am putting money in new ideas and business and all. Everytime I make something huge, its still because I put everything in some deal or business. I wont stop till I blow like mad |

emoneyrano:Oh, yeah. Those years. I was one of the popular guys selling materials on SD that time. Akin Alabi was one the biggest then. |

emoneyrano:My father made that biggest mistake in his life. He made lots of money in Port Harcourt that year of 70s and early 80s and he couldn't even invest in lands or even built a house then, didn't planned for tomorrow when the money was coming. Today he is older and living in poverty. |

TheWebbers:Show me way abeg, show me how to make 1 million into millions of naira. I have tried going into sporty bet but i am still sceptical about it. |

lightwind:Sporty bet or any form of gambling will destroy your life bro. It will keep your pocket drained, your brain drain. It will get you depressed. You become less interested in other things that can make you money. If it eats deep into you, you become a burden to yourself and your loved ones. It will destroy your life. Run!. As for helping you. Need to ask you: What skills do you have? Your qualification? What are you really good at? Sell yourself to me here. |

KStylist: Work is a bit slow this period. The list I am making now is about 1m in 2weeks. That 1m a month but the real work stretch is 2weeks. I make alot of money sometimes. I did a job for 9 days and made about 11million naira. Also I am entering my money making months. Usually ending of the year. Made my first 1 million at 25. Actually it was more than 1million. I am 29 now. Bought a c300 2014 and Acura MDX 2012. |

[quote author=KStylist post=140060651]I've had about ₦3.9 million before, but that money was saved for a specific purpose. Spending it recklessly would have set my life back by years. This, however, is different. For the first time in my 31 years, I' have just made my first ₦1 million that's truly mine, not capital, not borrowed money, not savings set aside for a project, but pure profit accumulated over several months from a small business I've been running. It feels like a completely different milestone. How long did it take you to earn your first ₦1 million in actual profit? I was 17 when I saw my first million. And it was 8 million at once. Don't ask how it came |

I have always heard it that Nigerians jolly in the woes of others to feel good about themselves, but reading it real here felt disappointing. You are contented but do not relent. And as for your friends, if you cannot help, learn from them but don't mock them or use their lives as a yardstick for yours. Life na turn by turn o... thank God for what you have and move on Fekumzi123: |
