I was 28 and working in the bank. I was able to save up to 1 million in my first year of banking just from salary and upfront. This was before the crash of the banking sector..

What crash

NarnieSnyper:
Haven't made up to 200k before ( just finished school and waiting for service).
My problem is, I just focus majorly on my skill (graphix design, web design and programming) which fetches small change rather than looking at the big picture.
My dad is an importer (imports second-hand TVs, laptop, fridges, clothes(okirika) and also groundnut oil and tomato straight from UK) but I dont know why I hardly put interest in that aspect. Maybe I not that business minded individual.

Please who knows how to do these importation business (majorly online) please, I'd like to gain mastery of it because no more pocket money henceforth, the real world has begun.

In case if you are interested in buying the above listed goods, please contact me. Let me start from somewhere.

are you kidding me? Graphics and programming are the bigger picture.

It is well.... Money is important but don't be too anxious to have it. "It will rush you" when you are diligent.

Raysolo:
Made my first million at 25,doing dropshipping of mobile phones from aliexpress,my biggest hurdle at first was how I could make payments and how i could get lots of clients.

Hi, I want to inquire a few things.
pYou said "how you could make payments" plz can you elaborate on this? . Don't the buyers first pay you for the items then from the money you pay your supplier on Ali and then you buy and ship to the buyer directly from aliexpress?

Just an inquiry.. Thnaks

Which kind trouble be this.....u sure say I dey this world at all..God please help me nah.

I made my firsy 1m at 26 , thou tru G level. To b candid its nt easy to chop 1m as a normal G boy witout plus... bt that now past tense,man don port enta legit pkg..now working with attractive salary with a business of mine wch i strtd with d G money. Anyone who quote me,i go swear 4 am cuz 65% youth 4 naija are once or presently G boy.

May I suggest that you set higher standards for yourselves.

Celebrate your first 100million naira or at the very least 10million naira.

I don't think 1million should be celebrated given current exchange rates. We are talking about less than $3,000 here.

victorian:

For some reason I am drawn back to this post.
One thing I have always believed is in the great sense of humour possessed by the forces at play in the Universe.

I sense that they would see the humour in your post and "reason your matter".
Cheer up!

Still struggling to eat three square meal in a day,someone is here asking how old I was when I first made a million. Still praying to God to pick my call anyway.

Loooooooll
Sorry I couldn't hold myself.

June 2010, mtn World Cup splash promo.. I was lucky to be among those that won 2million naira....i was only 23yrs old, just graduated from the University and I was about to go for my nysc.


that 2million naira is the reason why I have never applied for a job since I graduated.. cos it paved way for my financial freedom...


forever grateful to mtn!!

My first 1 million buck was @ 24, can still remember checking my gtb and eco bank account balance adding those figures up, made me the happiest young man alive back then.
Before you ask?
Affiliate marketing

please how does it work secondly what's the minimum amount that be invested

awelekiti:
Amazing thread...away from politics and sports. Wow! With what I've read so far, I've got no doubts in my mind that nigeria would be ok in a few years to come as predicted. But why did buhari call our youths lazy? He needs to be arrested and prosecuted, seriously.

I made my first millions selling latex to the oil and gas sector at the age of 31. I just woke up one day, thought of what to do to make some money as I was tired of saying 'yes sir' to my employers. I've been making millions working for them but I needed to start making same, working for myself. I started with a proposal to their headquarters in lagos. I was asked to drop samples which I did, then the rest was history. I expanded the supply to pharmacy stores nationwide. As the business was threatened by nafdac on registration with politics from above by somebody who showed interest, I was pulling back gradually. I later entered the health sector with the sale of medical consumables and later major medical equipment from CT to USS, Digital X-ray, equipping hospitals, etc. I became famous in less than 10 years of doing business and recognised by the USA president. I had dined and wined with world leaders, including Barak Obama. I'm meeting Tony Blair in a global entrepreneurs' gathering soon in Washington DC.

Right now, we're planning to start manufacturing of medical equipment , the first of its kind on the African soil. It's a multi million dollar project. The facility constriction is already ongoing , somewhere in ogun state. I wish all the vibrant and upcoming entrepreneurs on this thread the very best. Believe in yourself, trust in God and the rest would be history. God bless Nigeria.

True talk bro, been trying a lot but seems people are not really ready to tell u what they know. Still willing to spread my tentacles though,just hoping for the best.

People rarely talk about how they got there, but how they're managing it. People don't ask too, though.

Your best bet is to invest in books, use Google and follow successful people – a role model kind of thing. I haven't made even half a million yet, but I'll surely surpass it. I'm that confident.
-
The tips I shared are what I'm implementing.
-
Lemme close it with this insight from Ryan Holiday: “whatever problem you're struggling with is probably addressed in some book somewhere written by someone a lot smart than you.”

At d age of 23 , ooh least i forget made it from sales of onions from d north to d eastern part of the country ,nearly lost my life to bokoharam in Bauchi state, but Grace of God kept me,I say having multiple incomes from different business is d key,now it's d Forbes list or nothing, still a product of Grace.

So you're one of the infamous "Nigerian email scammers"

TheBeat:
26.

I got a job. I still struggle to save cash in my account unless there's a pressing need for that. All I do is to keep buying lands in my state capital. Each time I try to build up savings, my sister would call me that some plots of land are available for sale. Resisting this has been my greatest struggle. I have to learn how to balance my financial life. That is making investments as well as keeping savings.

Do you have C of O for your landed properties? Are you 100% sure of ownership of these properties?

Pls I work with a microfinance bank with a take home of 41,000 and my salary is less than half a million in a year. This millionaire of a thing, I am just imaging when it will come but there is hope. I am a graduate in Computer Science, pls someone should help advice me on what to do because I need to move to another level. pls help your brother with a meaning advice/ job/prospects. I am still single biko umunne m.

DDGN:
2015. N1.5M to be exact, and since then there have been no turning back. Between 2015 and now I have made over N180 million. Ten years ago if anyone had said I'll ever see a million I would have laughed that person off. 15 years ago I was walking round Festac Town, sometimes barefooted selling vegetables (shokor) and okra. When the season comes I sell corn..With a trey over my head walking round Festac shouting "BUY SHOKOR". It's the most humiliating thing that can ever befall any on in secondary school as I get to see most of my classmates..girls included. I once saw a classmate and nearly ran for cover, unfortunately the trey fell on the road, and right there I had to stop and picking back the items one by one lol.

The day Nigeria played South Africa in the semi final at the Ghana Nigeria 2002 Nations Cup I wasn't even allowed to see the game. I had to go Kiri. Then, as timaya said " I dey on my own Jehovah just bless me o". God took me from rags, the bottom of the food chain in the family, the most despised and hated, God took me from that to become the richest person in the history of my family. Anyone who doubts the existence of God and his propensity to fight for and bless the underdog, the oppressed, is doing himself a major disservice. I have experienced first hand how God works. It's incredible.

What's your line of business ?

Lhimeet:
Haven't made my million yet..
Made my first thousands from betting..
Then again from crypto, airdrop hustle..
Just 21.. I hope I can make my millions soon enough

Very similar

Dc4life:
I was slightly above 21 when I made my first million from side hustles & trading bitcoins and Giftcards . God bless @Justi4Jesu who contacted me and added me to her WhatsApp Ecurrency group. Everything changed so fast after that, Met lots of great people on there.. I’m on the way to my 10th milli lol.. Glory be to God

P/S First 1 million is always the hardest to earn and keep, the rest millions are the easiest

you are the one i have been looking for sir,i do like to be mentored on your niche,am a recent computer science grad awaiting final results,i do love to be able to sustain myself when im inducted into the NYSC by june next year.

kaboninc:


You have to sell, I buy from you.

Simple as ABC!

it can't just be buying and selling na.. Pls explain further

Meklex:
are you kidding me? Graphics and programming are the bigger picture.

That's why I am focusing majorly on those.
Web development is one of the majors right now. I am not yet a certified web designer because I just finished school (you know, combining school with web classes is not easy at all). I just handle small project works for final years and they don't pay more than 25-30k which is quite small.
I want to move to the next stage but without finance, it is an obstacle that's why I'm looking for something else to fetch me money.

You could be my first customer, what do you think?

Truth801:
Boss kindly put me through. I will really appreciate.

Take my words, the likes of you will easily be initiated into any harmful and bad things and later regret your life. What a desperate fellow. You don't trust God and lost hope in life.
