Hmmm
It's gonna be a nice thread.. Lemme settle down here.

This thread is likely gonna make some people depress, lost and even sucidial.
But pls, Have it in mind that when it's time for the moon to shine the sun must surely give way... So if you're trying, keep trying it's never too late.
We all have a story.. Be patient enough to get it the right way so you can enjoy it and not the wrong way cause you just might not recover from it..


God bless us all.
And pray he grant your heart desires.
majority are not pure deal, i advice people should not get depressed over someone illegal million.

Can’t sleep going through this thread. Never been more touched in my life. So many thoughts running through my mind as I go through every comment. The only thing I’m begging for is that our brothers/sisters are kind enough to assist by guiding and mentoring the ones willing to learn. I know I am and will be forever grateful to any helping hand. The good lord will continue to lift you all higher

I can put you through. I trade forex, affiliate and digital marketing, drop shipping and mini importation and a few others. All these businesses have a high learning curve or either take a long time to start yielding incomes. They require that you have another source of income while you learn. If youre still interested after knowing that it's not a get rich quick scheme, indicate below and we can get started.

I’m very interested and I have your contact saved. I’ll reach out to you in the morning, thanks and God bless for the kind gesture

Made my first million at the age of 26. That was last year.

Right now, I have earned more than $17, 000 through fiverr. Although I only have close to 4m in savings.

I don't even know what to do with the money.

Just dumping it in treasury bills until I have a reasonable business to do.

Can you be kind enough to put me through this? If yes, how can I contact you? Looking forward to hearing from you. God bless

Just like your name says, can you show me little love by putting me through with this. I’m a good learner and one who needs such an opportunity more than anyone else as my story is nothing to write home about. Help a brother, trying to get on his feet. God bless

how did you lose all your savings?

I was introduced to an investment business by a friend who hoodwinked me into parting away with my money. How he succeeded in sweet-talking me into the business which later turned into a scam still beats my imagination. I later got to know he already defrauded other people and absconded. The talk of investing in diesel and gas supply business. After weeks of calling and texting it later dawned on me that I have been duped plus I was out of job at that time. It's a long story besides I'm still trying to raise money (60k) for my rent and I have just this November and December to raise the money before I will be ejected. Bad year for me, been out of job for months and I barely eat two square meals a day. I wish someone from NL could investigate my claims 'cos I'm not making this story up. Been through hell this pass months and the worst was loosing my younger brother to the cold hands of death because I couldn't raise money in time for his treatment. He died August 27th. All I'm asking is for a 10k financial support so I can use it for transport and feeding. Will appreciate a good paying job I can get so I can take care of my ageing mother and sibbs who were looking up to me before my financial downfall. I've got over 8years administrative work experience coupled with different skill set.

Thanks in advance for anyone who will be kind to help a helpless brother in need. I never thought I would come on NL to seek for financial assistance. Whoever you are may the God of daddy Oyedepo and Adeboye of whom I serve and pray to daily continue to bless you richly and increase your wealth in Jesus name! No amount is too small at this time.

22.

Made roughly 4million that year. (That was 2016 when dollar was crazy, made $5,000 in November and $5200 in December that year.)

It was all from amazon affiliate marketing.

I still do amazon affiliate marketing, and I have several sites now.

I’m worried I can’t get a regular job anymore, because I would be depressed to work for such little pay.




Can you put a novice like me through? I’ve bad experiences looking for jobs even after my numerous educational qualifications and when I finally got one the pay was around 30k to 40k not enough to survive or take care of a sick family member (my mom)

Please help, I need a change

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.

Mr. Awelekiti, ejo se mo le ri ise ni odo yin ejo? even ko ba je errand boy or receptionist, pls i'm also very conversant with computer and hardworking too. ejo

being an undergraduate is a bonus if you can look for a need and satisfy it

Most undergraduates have freeoney to throw around from their parents

Especially ladies who get from boyfriends and parents .

if you can find a need and satisfy it you'll be a able to meet your needs.

for example when I was in school (year 2) I sold provisions in my dorm room. I discovered that most girls were too lazy to go downstairs or outside to buy basic needs so I removed out of my pocket money to buy a few things and resell.

shyness and procrastination made me not continue in subsequent academic years.
I wish I did

Those are the two things you should guard against.

Thanks for this advice ma'am. I will work on that. May God continue to bless you too. Amen

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 wink

Been following and reading up on Cryptocurrency but yet to invest or actively participate in it because I don’t have anyone who has the expertise and I’m afraid of loosing because I hardly come by money. Don’t want to risk the little I see on trials. So will you be willing to put me through? If yes, how can I reach you? I’m motivated

19 although am broke asf right now, am 23.

mine was multiple millions I made it from bitcoin, software and domain names.

one guy from nairaland here introduced me to bitcoin back then (for free ) he was giving one eBook like that.

I learned a few thing from his book,but being the mad man that I was, I discovered a way to tipple my result and boom I was raking in bitcoin like craze.

then I hooked up with this Chinese girl on Facebook we started swaping ideas before you know it I had about 20 bitcoin. at then one bitcoin was about 200$ then some crazy sh** happend bitcoin went from 200$ to about 1000$.

I cashed out. dude, I was fucking rich. but as you already know 19years and millions are not a healthy combination.

I basically thought I was the next bill gate. it funny how success leads to success then to more success, then to a huge failure. me and my best friends, we were living lavish.

again some one from this same nairaland sold an eBook about domain name buying and selling to me.

I started trying to buy domain name, but wasn't making much (like 500$ per month) 500$ didn't mean much to me back then.

then I stumbled upon this white guy, he was also a domain name trader, he was teaching people how to buy and sell domain and software on flippa. although his course was expensive about 800$ I bought it, then I also bought a 1000$ course on digital marketing. after the taking those courses I lunched out on my own, I bought a bunch of domain names and about 4 softwares.

most of the domain name didn't sell well some didn't sell atall but 3 sold for a wopping some of 15000$ combined.

it is funny how lots of people say money can't change them I was one of those guys. but trust me after this second win, I was sure I was going to be up there with mark zuckarburg some day.

then something crazy happened, one of my 4 software gained like 3million active users. turned out the original owner of the software was from isereal, and his research was on point, isreali market really needed the software, but the guy was marketing and trying to monitize it the wrong way.

by accident I got it just right the software began marketing it self and before you know it a giant iseareli company asked me to sell it to them.

being young and dumb I didn't know how to monitize it so when I saw who was willing to pay, bam I sold it. I made a mistake though, I should have let them name a price or at least named an unrealistic price but silly me I asked for what I thought was a fair price 100000$.

they did what every good business men would do they bargained for a lower price 70k$.

I agreed bam this time even GOD couldn't stop me I was mega rich.

but like what my mentors always say when there is to much supply of money, it begins to flow to unnecessary places. I blew all the money, although most were on other ventures that later failed.

yea I spent good money on lavish lifestyle , but I wasn't that stupid, most of my money actually went into other businesses and investment but I was young and stupid so I paid for it .

I walked away with lot of experiential knowledge. at this point in my life I am trying to gain momentum again and GOD know that when I do, I'm never stopping, I'm not saying I have learned everything there is to learn, I'm saying that i have learned to do less stupid things than most people and I still think am going to be up there with the big boys although I don't want to be famous like them I don't want to be on any list.

Don’t be discouraged bro. There’s a reason for everything. Maybe God’s just trying to teach to some lessons or show you something. For you to have gotten that far, I believe you can get there again and even farther. Don’t relent and try again, please you can take me along when embarking on that mission again.

You have the background?
It is a nice sector, my interest lies there too smiley

Write professional exams to change your background to align to the sector. The exams depend on your knowledge (do you know how to solve questions in an exam), experience (some require years of professional experience) and financial capabilites (some are expensive with the fees in dollars).

You need to be mentored on how to look for opportunities in rendering a service or providing goods or both. Then you select which is your passion or which area you are interested in. Set out your goals and get to know what it will take in terms of finance, time and skills/knowledge to reach where you want to be. Then set to work. You need to be mentored and you need to focus. What are you planning to do now? What do you do with your time? What about in NYSC? What do you plan to do with your time during service?

I was a millionaire b4 I was born bc Jesus Christ lives in me
And jesus was not a millionaire. Besides, jesus doesn't support owning of million. He told a rich man to go sell off all his property, give the money realised to the poor and come back to follow him, and when the man refused, he said it is more easier for the camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich (millionaire) to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

THE QUESTION IS: WHY DID YOU RETURN BACK BRO?

I am a career minded person. That category of job would not help me in future. I struggled to get a professional jobs in my area of specialisations in UK but the conservative government of David Cameron was making things extremely difficult for foreign students.

A financial institutions in Nigeria came for the yearly "careers in Africa " summit in London and I was hired. The entry pay was lower than my monthly gross in the care home I was working . But when you considered that I was going to be working in my cherished area and the Potential for growth, I took the offer and I thank God I did.

Stayed with them for six years, gained valuable experience and joined an oil and gas company.

Have built my own house in Nigeria and about even resigning to set up my own independent business consulting firm.

Had my kids abroad with citizenship so that they don't experience what I saw in UK based on nationality when you get to the final stage of interview. They always asked me if I had the permanent right to work in UK. Once I said no , they won't get back to me.

But some Nigerians with British nationality that I did interviews with got offers.

Honestly, Cameron government dealt with us. Bared companies from hiring none UK /EU professionals
