If you're a youth and you don't have a laptop and a good phone, you are still backward. You're more backward if you always spend your time watching football / playing bet. Sorry for offending you. I know it hurt, but it's the truth and I always say the truth - I dey my house, come and beat me.

So, start saving some money today and get yourself a computer, even if it's a fairly-used desktop. It's never too late. If you don't have any computer skill, save money, register in any computer center, and in 6 months time, you'll be good to go. Digital money never runs dry - ask Mark, Steve, Gate, Bezos, etc. Eighty percent of the money in this world belongs to those with digital skills.

The remaining twenty percent is for the physical world and in this physical world of Nigeria, politicians go show una pepper. Only digital skill will save you, not school degrees. The virtual world is where the money is. If money is what you need, then acquire a digital skill, not Yahoo, first and you'll get it.

To make legit money anywhere, you MUST have a skill you offer. Don't think about how to make money, but how to offer a service. That service will bring all the money you need.

Which digital skill do you have and are you comfortable staying on screen or do a slide while teaching it?

iLegendd:
100%. It's my field too. It's lucrative.

iLegendd:
It depends on how you measure success. I'm not successful until I see Jesus. So, our definition of success are different. Yours may be money and houses, but your brother's measure of success may be eternal life. Think about it. Money is just a tool.

I had some, but I gave them out. I give things out easily, but there is one laptop I have refused to give out because it has a story behind it.

The story is: While in school, I bought a brand new HP laptop and it costs me approximately 300k. Later on, I was told the oyibo man cheated me. Though, it was supposed to be ₦270,000.00, but the country pays tax, so I had to pay tax for buying a laptop. In that country we pay tax for medical checkup. Thoughout my stay, I refused to fall sick.

I bought it in 2009. One day, in 2015, Buhari took over and crime became the new trend. I was returning from a friend's house at night — whose mom was kidnapped.

Sadly, I was the only person on the dark road. From afar, I heard a sound and before I could hide, I saw a black Hilux with huge men on black and with guns. They flashed their vehicle's light on me and their torch.

The next thing I said in my head was, "God, why me. Is this the end?"

They stopped their car by my side. "What's inside that bag? Bring it out," one of them said while pointing a gun at me. "It's my laptop," I replied. I brought it out and they took it from me.

As they were taking it, I realized they were police / JTF. They interrogated me, but I stood on my ground. After everything, they drove off with my laptop and told me to come to the station the next day to verify and collect it.

I got there the next day and they told me to log in and I did. After wasting 2 hours of my time, they couldn't find anything incriminating. They got tired and stylishly told me to settle and take my laptop.

Me, I just behaved as if I didn't understand what they were talking about. They took me to an office with a beautiful Edo officer. She was on call speaking her language.

When she finished, I said, "Wow! What a beautiful language. Which language is that?" I asked. She smiled and said it's Edo. Before you know it, I started wooing her and creating instant rapport.

Another female officer came in and spoilt my parole. At the end of the day, I didn't pay a dime. When I was living, I requested for her number, but she refused. Deep down, she wanted to give me, but the environment didn't permit her.

So, I was finally set free after wasting three hours in the station. When I was leaving, all the officers were angrily looking at me like say na me kill Jesus. At the gate, I saw a female officer eating banana and I asked her to give me banana. The hunger on her face was obvious. She looked at me like an angry lion.

Anyway, police dey suffer sha. Now I understand why they extort money, but this is not an excuse to extort.

Why did I share this story? It because that laptop put me in so many troubles. I don't want to talk about the other troubles before you faint.

One day, I was using it and the screen started acting funny. I brought my repair tool and dismantled the laptop, removed the screen, broke it, and dumped the laptop for good. That was the laptop I used to start and finish my project back in school.

The laptop I used to learn relationship tips before doing the practical. It has a history. I'll snap a picture of it and show you. When I get married and have children, they'll need to see it. Maybe, I should write a book titled: The Great Computer.

So, I can't give it out, but if you can pay me 300k, I'll give you the spoilt one in-between my legs. U know na. It has sugar and honey. Don't you like sweet things?

Let me tell you a secret. Laptop is cheaper in Nigeria than abroad because in Nigeria, you don't pay tax.

adeboi1:
wow dats gud hope u don't mind teaching it sha

iLegendd:
The reason is because of your moniker. Lucifer blocks our brain from achieving greatness in life by making things that'll lead us to greatness look boring and difficult.

Then, he makes social media look fun and entertaining. As we waste our time, he smiles. That is what you're facing and your moniker, Lucifer66, is part of it. You know your problem — solve it NOW or enjoy the fun online and stay ***** offline.

iLegendd:
Great. Music is lucrative. Sadly, I'm on hold in that department. Just keep pushing. If you have some money, enroll in any music school or learn it from YouTube. I did both.

Music school, I mean, music production program, not a typical school.

Lucifer66:
What an idiot, Am tired of speaking to you religious dogs.

adeboi1:

iLegendd:
I'm not religious — just pointing the source of your problems. It's left with you to listen or ignore, Sir. Thank you.

iLegendd:
I'm a virgin, so I don't understand what you're talking about. What is shag? Is he a musician?

Lucifer66:
Fvck off, christain rat.

iLegendd:
Thank you, Sir. I sell poison too. Do you want to buy?

If you're feeding to yourself then sure

So, today, I want to expose myself to the public on how I acquire new skills and make money from it a year or some years later. Yes, all kids like cartoon, but since I was born or since I could remember, I never liked cartoon. In my threads, I always tell people to acquire digital skills and this is how I do it. So, I'm here to expose myself.

After doing feasibility findings and other researches, I found that the animation or picture / cartoon industry makes billions of dollars monthly, so I decided to learn and master animation so I can take my share of the international cake.

What did I do? I downloaded Pencil 2D (a free drawing and animation software) yesterday and got started with tutorials I downloaded from YouTube. I used 50 Naira to get 1GB on two SIMs.

Since I used Pencil 2D yesterday, I decided to upgrade today to Adobe's Flash CS4 today. The next upgrade will be Adobe Animate CS6. So, I installed Adobe Flash, Illustrator, After Effect, and InDesign.

Hwfar bro. I'm really interested about this thing youve embarked on. How can I learn more?

iLegendd:
You can learn more if you have a computer and MB. If you have those, YouTube has the rest. It requires dedication and you'll reap the fruit at last.

Bro I want to ask more about this digital skills on WhatsApp, I'm a complete novice. Need some advice.

iLegendd:
I would really love to take things to WhatsApp, but it's against our management's rule. The only thing that goes to WhatsApp is someone who wants to purchase a product or a business idea. If it's advice or guidance on anything, it ends on Nairaland or Wetclef.com.

If you say it here, other people will benefit from it. I hope you understand. And if you do, thank you for your understanding, Sir.
