How Does An Average Nigerian Youth Escape Poverty? HOPE

Am not talking about blind optimism here, that unemployment will go away without learning 21st century skills or if you keep voting folks who have
nothing to lose, am talking about something more substantial.

It the hope of slaves sitting around fire singing freedom songs, the hope of immigrant setting out for distant shores, the hope of a young nigeria graduate dreaming, hoping and reaching to actualize his life aim and purpose.

Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of HOPE.


P.S (Who was in that room boston 04)

if you have talent, pray you at the right place at the right time you need providence, imagine if wizkid never met banky w..

if you into business, product and service you need three basic luck element, location, how many competition available, value of service demand... if these three work in your favour you are ahead of most average Nigerians..

if you are a academia meaning you only depend on certificate, then you need to know someone that know someone to get to the summit of your profession.

and if you have none of this, let me help you in this world of technology, I know of a friend that plays ps4 and Xbox and earn a living with it all he does is to play mission games and upload it on YouTube.. with social media people are doing weird stuff and making a living for themself.... meaning in our generation you don't have a excuse to remain poor....

I have taken time to go through your story op. It is so unfortunate that you are going through this whole process called life. But then, I think you have taken all these that have happened to you in a different dimension. I encourage you to try and finish from the University you are attending. Schooling in Benue is relatively cheap and affordable. Let's say your feeding in the Federal university in Benue isn't gonna be something tasking. Incidentally, I also graduated from your institution and department. So, try as much as possible to finish what you started in the institution. Then, hustle like you never went to school. It will help you better. So, focus your attention on how to get money to finish the remaining semesters. Then while waiting for your service or after your final year, enrol for a programming class. Take one thing at a time. And you will see that you will be better and bigger soonest.

Good day folks, I have been a visitor on nairaland for a while now so far I have really learnt a lot from here, I had to register so as to share my worries here because I know that I can get useful contributions. Please ignore my grammatical blunders,I'm not really good at writing.

I graduated from secondary school in 2010 at the age of 18 and 10 years later I seem to be moving around in circles. After secondary school I was given two options of going to the university or doing business, I chose business without thinking twice I needed money so school can wait.

Two of my uncles raised the sum of 150,000 for me after I was done learning a trade with the condition that I will pay back at the end of the year without interest. Then the ports were closed so I would travel to cotonu to buy male jeans and sold in Nigeria in wholesale. Business was moving well, I tripled my capital that same year by the age of 20 I had already counted my first million, I felt on top of the world, I spent on my family helped in paying house rent and my siblings school fees (I'm the first child), then tragedy struck.

After the second year my uncle whom I was staying with and contributed majority of my capital asked for an account of how I had been running the business which I gave him, I had already returned the other uncle's money by then. After the audit my uncle said he's going to add another money to my capital then after four years he would settle me, I refused citing that apprenticeship wasn't our agreement initially, the mother caused a big issue to the extent it had to be settled in the village. I had to leave my uncle's house to my parents since we couldn't reach a compromise, as for his capital over the years I had borrowed him money on several occasions which was already more than what he gave me as my capital, I forgot the balance and left.

Three months after I left my uncle, my goods was intercepted by customs in Benin, my agent which coincidentally happened to be that my uncle put my goods ( and that of others) in a vehicle carrying second hand tyres from Lagos to the east and everything in the vehicle was confiscated. We spent 5months trying to get the goods back spending the remaining savings I had, it was released after six months but most of the goods was either stolen or sold by customs, I got only around 10% of my seized goods back. I was back to square one.

After all my attempts to raise another capital proved abortive I gave up and started doing menial jobs to survive,my mom would always encourage me that I'm still young and would rise again. Two years after nothing tangible was fort coming, I was dead broke and depressed, I started feeling pressure at home when I couldn't bear it I relocated to port Harcourt in search of greener pastures. I slept in parks and slums till I managed to get a security job with a 15k salary then,I worked for some years and discovered that I wasn't making any progress in life,I wasn't saving anything and was still stagnant. I decided to venture into education, even though it wasn't my first choice at least I would have a certificate to be proud of after some years.

I got admission in the federal university in Benue in 2017 at the age of 25 to study statistics/computer science (bsc ed) it wasn't my choice but time was not on my side , most of my mates then had graduated and even working. My year one was hell, I resumed school with just my bag of cloths, no accommodation nor food stuffs, I slept in lecture halls and sometimes went for lectures without bathing,one time I called my dad and he said if I can't bear it I should abandon the school and come back,I later managed to get someone to squat me in the hostel, I got home during nuga break to meet the news that my dad just bought a land,so this man had money to buy land and allowed me to suffer in school ( he mind sha ).

Fast forward 3 years later and I'm stuck in 300 level not knowing what to do with my life,just being in school is not enough for me, I need to earn money because I became independent at a young age and depending on my parents now is serious giving me a cause for concern. I stayed back in school during the lockdown so I could think about my life, after reading some threads on nairaland I decided to go into programming since I had a semi abacus laptop on it's last legs,I got links to free courses on udemy and also enrolled for free courses on Alison and pirple.

Learning programming brought my joy back,I loved the critical thinking involved and realized I hated it before because of the way it was taught by our lecturers,I started with web development (HTML and CSS) and I observed I was grabbing it quit fast. Data was a problem but I managed the mid night subscription each time I manage to get airtime. I was happy once more cause I could code for hours on an empty stomach and I wouldn't care then tragedy struck again.

My system developed a fault, vertical lines appeared on the screen and it started having difficulty in booting,it finally gave up the ghost a few days later. I tried to improvise by using my phone to code but it was a horrible experience and I gave up. back to square one again,I had to go home and I haven't gotten myself ever since.

How do I break free from this poverty since I came back I have looked for job without luck, I haven't earned a dime since this year since I parted ways with my boss whom I learnt interlocking and concrete stamping under,the man was using me like a slave. Motivational speakers would say there's light at the end of the tunnel but mine looks like a maze/roundabout tunnel. I got home and yahoo is the trending stuff in the area even my younger ones has joined, my younger brother nearly picked 7million before the aza was killed in the dying minute (whatever he means by that), I seem to be the only one among my set that's still broke, I can't even remember the last time I got anything for my self, now I wear my younger brothers cloths and they recharge my phone for me,how long will I continue like this?? ..... I don't want to follow the yahoo band wagon, I'm beginning to lose hope.

Pls I need your comments and advice

Oga oooo..

Supreme145:
I think you gat me there bro,but dropping out of school is never an option....I have decided to let things happen naturally, my do and die warfare towards prosperity haven't gotten me anywhere

You need to operate in the covenant of tithing

The Journey to success, to your destiny, to your feature dreams, is rough, is not straight, there are so many obstacle on road, some time u feel like to quite, you feel like to give up, all such of negative thought may come to you. please i beg you to never relent, never give up, the feature will be bright, your suffering today, your life challenges will be your testimonies tomorrow, and will also be a motivation to other generation to come. please never give up brother , because many people go through kind of your experience and others even more than yours, but they all scale through at the end" please NOTE that the end matters a lot". Finally hold firm to God and you would not regret every step you take.

Thank you.

Sory Bro!
but my advice here is that you should not giveup. this life isn't easy but with God all things is possible. all these misfortume cames in your ways with no intention to kill you or to take your blessings away, but they came just to know how strong you are in the faith. trust God!

Investnow2017:
Dem don come. So you want to recommend a church abi? Or he should come to your own to be paying 10% plus sowing seed. This your mindset reeks of evil. Spiritual indeed. Shame

The problem with average Nigeria is that they trivialize so many things...trust me I speak from experience...in my opinion he should seek God in prayer....
being the firstborn in a family especially in this part of the world is enough to attract struggles especially in a polygamous setup plus the op might have offend his uncle who might be angry with him..we should not trivialize things of the spirit...

GreenKalada:
Hope all the documents are in order?? Without dispute

Sure sir, I don't do blind business, I only do business that tomorrow we can still be friends

My brother there is light at the end of the tunnel. But you did all this by your own strength. Did involve God in your journey?
See you are never a failure, your time as not reach yet and you have not gotten the experience needed to sustain wealth. In all this is a process you are going through. Just hang on. But are you born agian if not surrender your life to Christ today and surrender your journey to him, tell him to help you. And I tell your your tommorow will be filled with smile. You might not have the time but when you read Matthew 11:28. That is were your struggle end. Don't ever give up. Reconcile with your uncle and forgive yourself. Try to take too much money issue from your mind manage with whatever you can get, but don't do yahoo you will be worse tommorow than what you are experiencing today. Jesus is waiting to help you

I don't know about others but Forex has really helped me achieve my fainancal goals.

I learned Forex for 2 years before thinking of trading and spent close to 200k in the process. Best decision of my live.

The reason why most people fail in Forex is because they are always in a hurry to start trading without taking the necessary time to learn and practice characteristics of Forex trading.

My friend you need to discover yourself I.e self discovery,, from your story you've got everytin it takes to be successful in life
Firstly,,I will advice that you do all it takes to finish your education, since you are almost done anyways, then secondly programming gives you joy,,look for means to get a new laptop and learn more,who knows if dats were d breakthrough lies..for me that is an alternative instead of yahoo...IT guys are really doin well...and most importantly talk to God he will definitely see toy through.
Tune in to 102.3 max FM between 10pm to 3am momdays to thursdays to learn more abt self-discovery,,you will be glad you did

kill all politicians

ThothHermes:
Hmmmm...
This will be underrated but it's very heavy.

What's heavy? Prayer alone won't solve ur problems. Work hard, SLEEP WELL, then PRAY to the best of ur abilities

As a youth either you're criminally rich or humbly poor,,just blend your self

The only way to escape poverty is to know and abide by the laws of money.

Read books on money. I'll recommend
1. The richest man in Babylon
2. The millionaire next door
3. Money won't make you rich

All these books can be found on pdfdrive

We all have stories to tell in this country.

Lol, exactly the story of my life. Tho i got programming, playing instruments, and a lil graphics.. I'm thinking of the yahoo stuff too, just waiting for resumption I'm tired of being broke. Connect me to ur younger bros nah i wan learn work

You story is touching but then again, I like your zeal towards fending for yourself.

Quit programming.That line of freelance work is saturated already, even on Nairaland people beg to get clients.

Follow these steps...

Go learn how to drive, if you in lagos, get an uber car on rental to sustain yourself and get a laptop. Then, save you some money to get a mentor here on Nairaland to mentor you about Amazon Kindle publishing (obamartins, eliok, bros12345) or learn about fiverr freelancing(puzzynegro, hazzan tazzan, beatmonster).

Either of those two will change your life when you go back to school - I could have taken you up on the Amazon publishing thing but am just not available but I can tell you, it's the direction to go.

Keep fighting, it's hard staying alive, Much harder when you a Nigerian but put in more work till it all works out.

In the face of your misery and misfortunes, I'd say, such is life.

Go back to programming. That is your wealth , the ultimate money you have been looking for. Finish your study. Bro you be glad you did at the end. You can contact me for guidance.

Pls I need your comments and advice

Unless Nigeria is split into more manageable countries, the average Nigerian youth CAN NEVER GET OUT OF POVERTY.

Mark today’s date for reference in 20 years from now if Nigeria remains one in 20 years time.

Acidosis:
I think the problems started when you choose business over tertiary education at the age of 18 because of money.

Again, at 25, you still feel you have failed and somehow you feel that everyone is better because of money.

Truth is, you will ALWAYS feel this way for as long as MONEY remains your alpha and omega. You obviously don't believe in growth and the saying that there's time for everything.

N1m in the hands of a 25 year old man with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science is more valuable than N1m in the hands of an 18 year old boy.


Going back to school after you have lost over a million naira and waiting to graduate and earn N18k NYSC alawee will always demotivate you. Right now, it will take a special grace and endurance for you to finish your education especially now that you're surrounded by money conscious friends and your yahoo yahoo younger brother.

Well thoughtful advice and submission.

How Does An Average Nigerian Youth Escape Poverty? HOPE

Am not talking about blind optimism here, that unemployment will go away without learning 21st century skills or if you keep voting folks who have
nothing to lose, am talking about something more substantial.

It the hope of slaves sitting around fire singing freedom songs, the hope of immigrant setting out for distant shores, the hope of a young nigeria graduate dreaming, hoping and reaching of actualizing his life aim and purpose.

Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of HOPE.


P.S (Who was in that room boston 04)

Hmm...
You remind me of the Audacity of Hope by Barack H. Obama.

You are not alone though, I will advise to still return to school after lockdown, u are in 300level, just two yrs and u r done. At least u know u have a certificate.

As for the yahoo ehn, that one is not easy especially when everywhere u go u see them. U that refuse to do they look u like a fool. I have a friend that got into it some yrs back, he told me to join him, I thought about it but decided not to be too desperate. My friend is now a big boy now own a house n car n I still dey here thinking of my life.

For Yahoo, honestly, the choice is urs. But if u really don't want to do Yahoo, u can borrow money from ur Younger bro since they seem to have money. Use the money to start a business while waiting for school to resume. U should also continue the business while in school.
Leaning a skill is also Paramount.

School no dey help for anything. Go learn work.

MarkStephen130:
