Davido that claim his father's jet to be his own, that guy is not even stable.

Lol

Majority of Guys in their early 20s that's Financially stable did not really work for it, maybe there are some who inherited from their Fathers, But that doesn't mean u should remain lazy, even if ur not stable, at least be dependent...

Be dependent

TroubleMaker47:

There are no self made legitimate multi millionaires under 25yrs or u wia just compelled to quote someone?

Of course it cannot be total. There are, but the percentage is very, very small.

And plenty of those ones who say the import only goods also do some drugs and gun running. Most container importers are legit drug dealers. I've seen too many seized goods at our ports and how some disappear to ever trust anyone who tells me he is a multi millionaire in his 20s, and he only imports containers.

MOST guys in their 20s are either undergrads, underemployed, or underpaid. I said MOST and not ALL. It takes something beyond the usual to be financially stable in 20s. mind you, SELF DEPENDENCY DOESN'T CONNOTE FINANCIAL STABILITY.

TroubleMaker47:
He has a point in he's 2nd line but he is very wrong in the 1st.
Go to Nnewi and see guys of 22yrs being self made multi millionaires! Legitimately!!!
These guys import trailer loads of goods and make turnovers exceeding 200million monthly!!!
They started biz as early as 15yrs.
Truth is our higher education is grossly over estimated and sadly we only realise that 1 month after NYSC POP.

Nnewi indeed. Well, we know

Eziokwugbaoto:
This is the mentality that ruins a man for life. If you like don't go and hustle stay there and be talking nonsense. If you become the first financially stable man in his 20's is it a sin

Wise sayings.

Love this.

You people should stop peddling these lies abeg

Though I don't know what you mean by being financially stable. But I'm in my 20s and I rake in close to half a million, and some months depending on how hard I worked, I make 600 to 700k. Is that not financial stability? Guess what? I graduated from a public school. In fact, from primary school to university were all public schools.

I personally know two of my friends who are in their 20s and are also doing great. Legit hustles. Even on this same nairaland that many youth are wasting their lives on the romance section, young guys and girls are discovering how to make millions in business section. Such guys wouldn't let you know though until you dig deep.

With this your mindset, you may likely find it difficult making money even at 50.

Whatever legal thing you're doing to earn such won't be related to what you studied in that public school

stop this lie na. ive been an apprentice and know what it takes to get to importer levels. stop this lie

Another negative mindset n excuse for lazy youths.

I got married in my 20s
Had my 1st child in 20s
2nd child at 30
Bought up to 3 cars b4 30
Already a landlord in 2 different cities b4 30
Etc

I have said it before that prosperity is more of a mental thing.......even though it is not common here in Nigeria doesnt mean pple are not super rich in their 20s. I am talking of legit riches n also not inherited.

You will never see the need of challenging yourself to financial freedom if you already believe you cant make it big in your 20s.

Yeah Davido is a female

Davido is 1 out of every 199,999,999 Nigerian, that is... 1 : 199,999,999

Icon4s:


There are always exceptions to every rule or theory.


Show me one Davido or a Wizkid and I will show you 20million financially unstable men in their 20s

There is difference between "there are NO" and "there are FEW" to say there are no financially stable men in their 20's is fallacy of generalization.Being financially stable means being able to meet your financial obligations within and outside your family circle on daily basis or as the needs arise devoid of outside aids.In fact,it means financal independence.Are those people mentioned in this class or not?

Then count yourself lucky and keep on giving thanks to God everyday,because your type can only be found in God"s own planet and not here in Nigeria,except you are well connected or comes from rich family.

eleojo23:
There are.

But they are very few.

The Nigerian system doesn't encourage financial stability in your 20's.

In fact, unless you go the extra mile, you may never be financially stable in your entire life in this country.

The Niggerian system does not encourage financial stability at any age.

okay

Mklancee:

is not about earning money. he is saying the truth. a man in his twenties need a lot of money and time to be stable. you need a to build a house, own a car and maybe acquire some property . you need time to do all that unless you are among those who plan to stay in rented properties for their lifetime.

i don't know your definition of 'a lot of money'. Is it probably when someone has a house and a car huh? And one mistake young guys are always quick to make is the acquisition of a car. If your business needs alot of running around it's understandable if you get a car to cut the cost of transport but getting a car in your 20's when you don't just need it just to give people the impression that you are successful is foolishness. And remember this 20s we are talking about here is the space of 9 years. 9 years is a whole lot of years for a purposeful guy that wants to achieve financial stability.

You can also check my signature. I was about 9years when i saw that quote. And I started applying it since then, guess what, I have already started teaching my kids the quote with some picture aids. Funny enough that sticker is still in my father' house and my step mum that pasted it then just did becos of the beautiful picture it carried. But God made me to picture the little words written under the fine picture. It has alwayz been a catalyst to my success

Thanks bro

Am i the only person that went to search for the pics?


Lmao

EwuOjota:
This is so true.

To buttress what he just said. These 20 yr plus guys and girls had a Nairaland party and were bold to post the pictures here.

They were supposed to be the big boys and gals here. Omo see poverty for both their dresses and the food they ate.

Want to know how 20 yr + old hungry guys look like?take a look at the Nairaland party pictures.

Jarus:
The message makes sense but the fact presented is incorrect.

I know people that already own like 3 houses in their 20s.

Are they the rule or the exception?

anochuko01:

I said MOST and not ALL.

mind you, SELF DEPENDENCY DOESN'T CONNOTE FINANCIAL STABILITY.

This sums it up...U are so spot on bro

niggi4life:
wizkid, davido may flaunt their wealth but the moment they stop singing, they will go down fast due to their flamboyant lifestyle.

Being financially stable, you must have had businesses that brings inflow of steady cash

And if you stop those businesses nko? Or don't you know music is a business too?

livinbygrace:


That is just the truth.Even if you go to Alaba International you will see a primary sch holder controlling businesses worth millions and paying graduates as his staff.Education is just too overrated in this country and thats why we have so many unemployed youth all over.Its better for someone to spend 10years learning trade than wasting time going to school.Most of our female graduates are now turning to tailor,hairdressers caterers and so on.So why wasting once time .

lolz!

Thanks bro.
1.Thank God, I agree
2.Being found in God's own planent, I disagree
3. Being lucky.....as much as I tend to disagree but I will tell you that determination, hardwork, and self belief with the G-factor are the main keys to good success.
4. Being connected and from rich family, again I disagree. Even though my family is well ok. But 4 me, I schooled in PTI, I bought my form and even paid my fees myself becos i woke up to responsibility very young. I bought forms for my younger sister while in higher institution. I have other brothers who saw being in school as means to collect monies from family members. But mine was not d case. Back in school i do different jobs to support myself. I was repairing computers, electronics, house wirings and more. I was less than 22years while i was already doing these stuffs.

I am only taking my time to write or reply because i just want to inspire some youths out there that are ready to believe in themselves. When i am with my wife sometimes, pple do ask her where is her husband? Some taking me to be her brother etc. So my point is with the right attitude and mindset, anyone can make it.

I always speak to young guys with opportunities like this to encourage them.

#peace

I was so disappointed when I saw this thread, and even more disappointed when I read the comments of most people here.

We really need to change our mindset, it's too negative and myopic.

I know alot of guys in their 20s, who are financially ok but I can only talk about myself.

I changed my mindset while I was in 3rd year in the university, had to let go of my first class pursuit, and face life. I got into importation, with N5000 I had then.

Fast forward to today.

Am still in my 20s,

I have a wife and a kid
Currently building my house in the city
I have 10graduate employees
My monthly gross is in 7figures in naira
Am currently worth 9 figures in naira

All these within a space of 4years after changing my mindset.

Let's change our minds please.
