Depend on the company hiring you. There are jobs that pays more than doing business.

He said education and salary. The billionaire entrepreneurs today are mostly educated, so education is never scam.

I agree with you and disagree also, few percentages of employees are high income earners that invest their money into other stuff thats giving them money also.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Anybody you see being wealthy from salary job, check that person. He/She us stealing/looting from the establishment.

An employee can never be more wealthier than his employer.

Even Karl Toriola.

Ecomfreecourse:
this is reality not theory bro

Education has nothing to do with being rich but educated societies produce rich people.

Education affects inter -human relationships, quality of life, possibilities and sharpens minds. The richest people in natural resources are the poorest because there is no education to translate their rich endowments to riches. Africa is poor because of illetracy, and leaders with crippled minds.

Education is equal to riches.
Educated minds produce rich people.

There are different kinds of employees.
Some employees earn millions of dollars monthly while some employees earn peanuts monthly.

Absolutely wrong Theory. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Lamborgini, Sergey Brinn, Bil Gates, steve Jobs, Femi Otedola, Aliko Dangote... the list is endless They all had an education first, then became Investors or Enterprenuers

Some salaries can give you a good head start into wealth.

I didn't believe because one vital is missing
1. Politicians
2. Agroprenure

Arostar2023:
Another illiteracy and wealth glorifying thread. Not everyone would be rich or need to be rich. There are people that get satisfaction and fulfillment from what they do, being employees of some firms, notwithstanding. In those days teaching, for example, used to be a noble profession,with principled people. But today we have pushed teachers to the wall and they are now as money loving and corrupt as politicians.

Education will teach you how to live a better life and not necessarily how to be rich. If getting rich is your sole aim in life, you may call education a scam. But if improving the quality of your life is your aim, don’t skip education. By the way, their are people that got rich working as employees…

A salary earner spotted!








You need to stop excessive listening to motivational speakers o

In all you do, get wealthy patents.

U09ce:
I always laugh at people who believe this. A fresh graduate of 22 years who's lucky to get into some top oil companies right here in Nigeria can earn more than a 100 million annually. Is he not already rich in one year? Can you imagine his wealth in the next 10 years?

People need to just search the web and see what CEOs of telecom FCMG and energy companies earn. And all of them are 9-5ers. So don't let anybody deceive you that 9-5 can't make you rich. Afterall, even entrepreneurship or business doesn't necessarily make one rich. Only a tiny majority become billionaires

76k USD rich ?

Consultants in USA earn as much as that in a month and considered average even

Without education, the rest is possible but the foundation will never resist critical storms of test for elevation.

Education is the development of mind, passing or learning of knowledge and character for the betterment of life in general not just about wealth.


Education is always a priority


There are different levels of education and certificates is just one of them.

Education is never a scam

I dont think that was what they meant, it says no one got rich through education and salary.

Gbadugbakun:
Oil and gas workers are being paid by the owners of the oil company. So those owners qualify as entrepreneurs and investors. The workers are salary earners who would leave normal but would never become billionaires.

Must they be richer than their employers before they can be termed rich? I know a Microsoft employee that was a billionaire. So what? Theirs a farm I and my uncle developed application for, the man invested at least 3 billion naira into the farm, he is a retired telecom chairman. Is he not rich before venturing into business?

Yes he's rich in Nigeria. You are telling me 100 million naira annually isn't rich, please say something else.

You are the one that’s killing your self over nothing. And I guess you have never heard of job satisfaction and fulfillment in life before.

Did you read the text on the picture in the original post before composing this cut and Join reply or did you just hit reply just to say something.

The text clearly stated the richest people in the world. Not someone you know or someone who invested 3 billion naira in a farm. It's talking about world billionaires who earn billions in dollars.

Next time read to understand before replying.

Talk it to them let them hearing it very well my brothers


In Nigeria, any employee that became rich through his paid employment is stealing from the company or involved in office dirty runs and collection of kickbacks which Nigerians celebrate as grace, yeye people

itzadorable333:
Just replace number 1 with number 2 and it's good to go.

Nobody wakes up from birth and becomes an investor except those that inherited wealth from their parents or family.


Before you become an investor, you must have been a successful entrepreneur aka businessman or woman, but if you don't gerrit then forget abarrit

Lol this comment is incredibly naive, the reason they got that rich is because they're in a decision making position, and you don't get there by being clean and playing by the books, people like this have Access to billion dollar deals, you think they did everything by the book with access to such money? Then you're not exposed be that.

What you guys call rich or wealthy in Nigeria is middle-class in a working nation.


Do you know what it means to be rich or wealthy? You cannot be under a paid job and be classified as rich except few top company CEOs who are usually or most times part of the owners of the company or the decision-makers and you don't count them as employees per se.


Those oil company guys are not rich.

Anybody earning less than 500million in a year is not rich and that is why we still see ourselves as middle-class but to most Nigerians, once you can afford to buy two or three tokunbo cars, manage to build an upstairs, you don turn to rich man in Nigeria, very funny country

Don't forget, they got that position because of their shares, they're quite wealthy.

People think that salary job na the minimum wage dem they collect for Nigeria

You get to partner level in BCG or Bain and go find out how much they earn

Or go find out how much portfolio managers, asset managers or hedge fund managers make in top firms like JPmorgan or Goldman

Or go find out how much directors earn in bonus in Apple or Google or Microsoft

No be the kobo kobo Una dey earn for naija

An employee can never be more wealthier than his employer.

Being wealthy is different from being a millionaire or billionaire. Wealthy mean being able to afford your desires and needs without borrowing and being contented. Many salary earners are achieving that. Not everyone is running after being called the name millionaires or billionaire, that is making many Nigerians don't care how wealth is being gotten.

ppogba:
Expand your horizon guy.

Are Oil industry workers of over 15 years above not qualified to be called rich?

You want to compare apples to oranges?

What i said is clear to even a three year old.

Nobody makes wealth from salary ONLY.

How much are oil workers paid after taxes?

PepeXKermit:
In your small mind...except if you are only referring to Africa

Thank God you vindicated me.

Check Forbes list if you see any employee of Starbucks or Microsoft inside.

UzorIyke:
I agree with you and disagree also, few percentages of employees are high income earners that invest their money into other stuff thats giving them money also.

These same high income earners get the value of their salary wiped off by inflation.

If a workers earns ₦100,000 in 2015 and ten years later, he gets a pay raise of ₦500,000, is the value of the salary increasing or decreasing?

The last paragraph clarifies my stance: except an employee has other sources of income, any worker cannot create Elon Musk kinda wealth through salary ONLY.
