I am following... And will really be looking forward to reading inspirational personal experiences. Articles such as this, I read on career section back then in school, encouraged me to strive to the end and not give up on my dreams of graduating with a 2-1, even when it appeared I wasn't going to make it... Reading experiences of those who only hit the 2-1 bracket in their very last semester spurred me on.

Thankfully, I am now a 2-1 graduate of Petroleum Engineering Thanks to the never give up stories of others I read here... And while I haven't made it yet, I am very hopeful. I have always dreamt of being successful and changing the story of my family.....

Unfortunately, my dad couldn't wait for me to get a job and actualize my dreams......partly because we could not afford a proper medical treatment for him. I know there are Nairalanders with good hearts, I am trying to raise about 100-150k to add to the extended family support for the burial, I humbly appeal for assistance, nothing is too small... Even 1k would add a lot of value.

I will drop my account details @my signature.. God bless you. I hope to come back here soonest to announce my own breakthrough, to encourage others too.

It is an open secret that many people are suffering in nigeria. Most graduate don't have jobs and the ones that are employed are underemployed. The ones that are skilled don't have money to open up their business and these go on and on.

The significance of all these is that most of the guys Damn all the consequences and go into stealing and get killed. Most of our young girls are into runz or rather prostitution because they face harsh conditions in life. awhen i work the street I fell bad because I see hardship and pain all over.

But in all these I know that some people are making it,so please let's share some ideals. At least to reduce the pain and suffering in the country.

I caught someone that wanted to commit suicide, I quickly rescued him n use him for money rituals.

Shut up. At the risk of sounding immodest, I'm not a pauper like your wretched parents. As you can see, you've just validated my submission. Conceit is God's gift to small-minded people like you.


My parents can feed you, your family, your friends plus any addition fool you would add till you all die...and it won't affect anything.
You were asked a simple question and you are here bleating like a shegoat.

I have not made it in life until I become a billionaire in dollars.

Why did I say this?

My goal since I was in SS2 as a 16 year old boy who stumbled on Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad was never to proceed to higher institution after I learnt that becoming very wealthy or successful can not be gotten with certificates.

As at the age of 20 I already had 2 handwork: Bricklaying (Which I learnt from my father) and plumbing (enrolled as a plumbing apprentice and graduated cos of the passion I have for it) With this skill I was able to earn some income which I later invested in some internet business that fetched me something big. At the age of 22 I made my first million naira, had a registered business, an office with 2 other partners. We were doing strictly internet business. Online payment merchant, e-currency, made some money via Google adsense etc. At the age of 24 I became broke and lost my business, went back to become a burden to my bricklayer father,one of the partners betrayed me. I learnt the hard way and moved on.

At 24 I started learning programming, read and watched tutorials like my life would end soon while still doing some internet businesses. At 26 I started getting web jobs and things started getting better.

Now I am 30, I am building my own house, I have 3 sources of income. As an internet entrepreneur I have apps and websites that will soon make me a billionaire in dollars.

I didn't further my education. I have been inside of a higher institution just twice when I went to visit a friend and when I went to conduct a seminar. I didn't even pass my WAEC. I have helped students of computer science with their school project severally.

My goal since I was 16 has been to become a billionaire in dollars without going to school. So I have not made it in life until I achieve this.


Bro ur story is encouraging. Ur English is good with your level of education. No insult intended or implied pls

Success is relative.
Financially
Business wise.
Family
Health
Life style

For me. One of my top most priority wasn't just money. But I wanted to have a business that worked independent of me. So I never sacrificed this dream even with different opportunities to make money

Cos this would afford me the time I needed to take care of health. Family and enjoy the sort of life style I desired. Even an opportunity to check and run other businesses.

When I was broke the strategy I used to pick ma self up was to look for a product that had a large market base yet little or nothing in cash or regulatory demand entry but then I spent all my time and knowledge to be better than anyone.

We always take health for granted. But I tell you money is zilch if there is no good health to enjoy it. So as a priority I do my checks more often even though I am just 32. Because I have a family history of diabetes and high bp.

Also because of my mode of business. I spend time with my loved ones a lot. My babe get tired of seeing me and my son we spend hours daily together. I see my father and brother daily. This as deeply enriched the quality of my lifestyle. I laugh from morning till night.

The next success I really crave for is to be able to run multiple businesses concurrently. have 2-3 vacations yearly. I pray in Good time it'll come to pass.

If I was to die today. I wouldn't regret my choices cos success to me is a balance of these things.

But chase the money with good strategy. Cos a lot of desires need cash.

I have not make it in life but am no more where I use to be before, at the moment I am taking care of myself with 3 kids in a comfortable apartment in the heart of Accra the capital of Ghana.

i made money by learning difficult stuff that people are looking for online and make youtube videos in a simpler form and share it on my blog for free at pauljumbo.com. The blog begins to get traffic after 4 months and i decide to sell some part of what I learned on my store pauljumbo store.

Today I make a minimum of 100$ daily using this model of sharing free contents and also help others online for free. with the money realized from my blog, I am now doing other businesses with my wife in Ghana.

if you are unemployed i will advise just learn any skill and start promoting it online don't waste time to argue in politic section of nairaland or other social platforms over politicians or entertainers. Always putting content online after some time people will notice you and money will start flowing.


Note nothing good comes quickly you can do menial job at the beginning just to survive but always pushing towards your future


Do you make the videos yourself?
I don't know if it is allowed to repost other people's videos on your channel.

As a young man in the university studying Electrical/Electronics Engineering 2004-2009, I never really appreciated the need for skill acquisition outside of my field of study though I did Basic computer appreciation training before my admission finally came through then after my admission I was posted to kebbi State for my NYSC, while in the camp I tried to identify with almost all the organisations that visited us there either for skill acquisition or training of any sort which was considered relatively cheap, so unknowingly to me that MDG WAP agro entrepreneurial scheme was going to invite us for a training in Abuja Kubwa camp, so, after the training I applied for a loan of 250k knowing fully that my NYSC was going to be the collateral but I decided to take the maximum risk because I was so afraid of coming back home to beg for support, so came back and set up my poultry farm on a small scale in a corner of our rented apartment and also used part of the money to acquire a CAD program skill and a cheap laptop also. Behold after 6months of this programs I was invited for an interview which I passed and immediately got employed...to cut it short, today I can proudly tell the world that I made a repayment of that loan after 2yrs and have also built a house for my parents and I must say that I may not be too rich but I count myself very successful because I have conquered so many fears and made my family so proud....

Be positive
Have a goal
Work towards achieving it
Do away with distractions
Make wise use of any kobo you touch
Success is a thing of the mind

Though I'm still struggling, but I know someday, I'll get there... and I won't stop there. Success has no permanent destination. Someone just left where you got to.
