Share your experience on how you escaped poverty

Locked horn with poverty, nah me go kill am

still struggling with it, and the odds keep showing me I will not excape

Hehe.... Una don escape?
Well, for me, i escaped "debt before small salary comes" by stopping work.

Became jobless for almost 2yrs. 😅

Well, let's just say, I'm not rich now, but that break allowed me grow my skillset, and I can beat my chest that I'm an asset to any organization where I work. Skillset spanning software to design, to mentorship, to administrative skills, etc 😁

The whole brag up there is that, you can't escape poverty by remaining comfortable in it, you need to take some crazy step out of it....if helpers no dey.

I'm interested in this topic

How many Nigerians have escaped poverty?

The latest economic downturn can be likened to a sinkhole that further pulled the entire middle class, most of whom were on the verge of escaping, back into poverty (lower class).


The question should be ' How do you intend to beat the current hardship brought by the economic situation?'

I will share my experience when I finally escape poverty. For now, I'm still putting in the fight.
I pray God will see us through our respective legitimate hustles and make our dreams come true.

I'm still struggling to eat talkles of escaping poverty.

May God pave way for me and you soon 🙏 ✨️

Pls type, I'm here to learn.

1.) Yahoo Yahoo or OBT or 419

2.) Japa abroad or foreign migration

Escaping poverty na generational wealth be that oh

Pray for grace and good circle of friends. You fit dey hardworking make poverty still beat you hands down.

I started paying my sec sch fees when I was in SSS 1. My father was old and lived in his old day memory. I was second to last born of 8 siblings. My elder brother married early. There was no help from anywhere. The only easy option available then wad going to to do boi apprentice at onitsha.

My father adviced me to go for boi but I refused because I saw how my senior brother was frustrated because of boi apprentice with my uncle,

So I decided to go to sch. I resolved to read a professional course such as insurance or accountancy. Finally I read accountancy, I singled handed trained myself from SSS 1 to university levels. Before my university graduate I have become chartered accountant. Even before my graduation I started working earning good pay. After my NYSC, I got job in a bank where I work till now. I later work as chief accountant in a big manufacturing firm. That was where I made my first N1 million savings.


God has been wonderful to me since then

I rejectt it for you. You will escape in Jesus's name!

We don't want apostles here who lie for a living.

Well I think I never escape fully but at least there is improvement. Start a business and be consistent.

I used mathematics to predict accurate games. Since then I have been cashing out 3 to 4 0dds daiiily with my formula

Mathematics is very powerful

Discipline and cutting off some lifestyle

This thread is supposed to be a very informative thread but sadly ones escape route might just be exclusively for him, you can't use someone's template to escape yours. We all have different journey and different stories and adventures leading to our victory against poverty. It's never an easy fight

It is very difficult to escape poverty fully in this economy were everything is working against you……the highest you can get is to live a very comfortable life.
most of the rich men you see came from money……

I also believe that's a way out. But how do you arrive at what business to venture into?

I don't think anyone who escaped poverty will share the entire story of how they did it. Alot of people did it not through an honourable way hence why they can't tell you how they made money.

No shame in asking those people to cut soap for you my bro. Most of those kind of jobs are not gotten through applying on job platforms - it's through referrals and network.

Tinubu wey dey borrow upandan never escape poverty na who for Nigeria escape? We can only claim to have escaped it when we elect leaders who have freed themselves from a poverty mentality. Otherwise, just when you think you have escaped, politicians will systematically throw you right back into it because of their insatiable quest to escape the poverty that is deeply rooted in their own mindset.

Na person wey you go range bait you dey find lol

I never escape poverty o, I had to go and collect food and money from my parents because i had nothing on me, even no garri at home, when you are starting from scratch and everything seems like a mistake or bad decision. But for me am still fighting poverty heads on, all i ever want is grace to my work that's all.

All by the grace of God and nothing else.

I drew closer to God and my brain began working normal.

Did an honest life-audit.

1. Tracked my Expenses
2. Prepared a monthly budget and sticked to it as if my whole life was on the line.
3. I deliberately lived below my means. For e.g if my salary was 100k, I made sure my living expenses wasn't above 50k
4. Cut off from so many things that drained my money. E.g Some what's app group that demanded financial commitment
5. Said NO to anything that wasn't in line with my budget except its a matter of life and death.
6. I save a percentage of whatever money that entered my hand.

lol send me a dm I am still in the business of helping people escape poverty….
