I don't know what is wrong with the nigerian youth some times in terms of money making. Let me tell you man how to hustle for the street in a legit way. It may seem stressful but you will still make your money and move forward.

First of all, all over the world now everyone uses mobile phone. As little as #50,000 can start a phone accessories business for you. You get a standing show glass and you get to the whole saler in your city and buy from them and sell at your local place. Every one uses phone chargers, covers, ear piece, screen protector. Adapters. TV remote. TV Stand.

If you go to other African countries, The youths engage in meaningful hustle like these and even have a move able trucks for these and on and on. But the nigerian youth always want to hit it big instant . You can make money if you want. Forgot shame.

Brothers... The question is when u look at urself and visualise ur future, what do u see?
What are dreams u want most,
What visions for ur family, ur community, ur parents, for urself do u see?
U see there's something stronger than your reality, infact it creates ur reality. That is the force of faith.
Do u still have hope for something? Do u still believe in something? These things are the important issues of life... Remember, one phone call, one chance meeting, one being at a right place can turn u into a millionaire.
Wealth is not often worked for... It's a gift to them that believe.life Is not about what can see with ur eyes, it's about what u can see with ur mind.

Question. how many will get that one call in their lifetime?

mariahAngel:
How about going back to that your uncle who wanted to help you and apologize to him.
You were young and in a hurry to start living the life, you made the wrong decision.
When you make a mistake(s) in your life, you retrace your steps to know where you got it wrong and correct it/them.
Did you act ungrateful?
Go back to him and make amends. Even if it means I gba oso ahia .
There's still time for you.

That Uncle seems like Chinwetaluagu character.

How do you explain his implicating this young man with customs?


That's evil.

Question. how many will get that one call in their lifetime?

Every call is not a phone call... People are meeting opportunities daily... It's ur responsibility to identify one when it calls. And when anybody get their own call, u have no business knowing

AkwaIbomMan:
is it Federal university in Benin or Benue?
Your response is needed urgently cos I myself I'm in the same predicament with you but I'm just a year above you and I'm also in same level and I want to advise you rather to be patient, When school reopens you'll resume and everything would be alright

Federal university of Agriculture Benue

How to escape poverty in Nigeria

- become a yahoo boy

- become a big-time criminal

- if you find yourself in the uni, study a useful course and graduate with a minimum of 2.1. Also, at the very least, learn how to speak clean queens English

- learn a high-value skill

- Network up (as a poor boy, you'd have to be a chronic sycophant)

- prostitution

- if you're a woman, marry up.

Pick the one you have the capacity for.

How to remain poor

- Go to church every day
- Network with your hood people
- play bet9ja
- play video games to while away time
- Don’t read self-improvement books
- keep complaining, winning inconsequential arguments and losing friends.
- Finally, keep on praying, hoping that God will direct you to a random bag of money.

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 for 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)

I remember Obama's campaign in 2004. "The hope of a skinny little boy with a funny name who believes Nigeria has a place for him too."

Nigeria Youth are not serious sorry for saying that. In this Forum I broke a very rare opportunity to then to make money through Real Estate with little or no Capital Commitment. Many of them indicated interest for me to send the details to them which I took out time out of my scarce time to compile the details of the rare opportunity and what they stand to gain. Till today only but just very few of them have keyed it. And I tell you the distance between those ones and poverty is very far. It is not just about Government, Nigeria Youth should know that we are in 21st Century and a lot have really changed unlike in the 80s when Job security was very high. This is a century for Entrepreneurs and not workers, this is a century where blue collar jobs pays more than white collar jobs except you have the connection to hit high paying Government Job. Look around You as a Youth and think of solution you can come up with to the problems facing the Society and then Monetise it. Start Small no matter how small and always open your self up to opportunity. Please for those who will quote me still asking me about Real Estate opportunity, if you are not serious to join immediately, please don't quote me. I don't have time to Lazy People. May God bless all hardworking Nigeria Youth.

Supreme145:
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

Brother, all you need to do is to change Your circle, move with the working class people, and Network with people that are already at the top of their computer/ networking/programming career.
This worked for me, I am also the first born of my family, but I relocated to a different state after I completed my NYSC program, mixed with working class people and I made a lot of connections, both offline and on LinkedIn.
I secured my first job through one of my offline connections, and ever since then, that has been my way of doing stuffs.
I move only with people that will motivate me positively.
Don't forget to always pray and stay hopeful.

Op lemme give u a little advice that works for me. I have come to see life as a circle.... Whatever u are going through now, someone else has gone through it and won... Another has gone through it and gave up. U are making a known journey, d destination however is ur choice.
My advice.... I am a God fearing man, and I see u trust in making an Honest living so my secret is use ur night seasons.
It always works for me... Whenever u need doors to open, opportunity and destiny helpers, task ur nights. U see that time between 12midnight and 4am... Sacrifice it to God in prayer, cry if u get tired of praying wholeheartedly.
It won't be long, u will sleep well.

Amen

In a way I think most parents don't have plans for their children's future.

Helping a child to discover his talents, and helping him to build it is key, which doesn't mean money must be involved.

By listening to the "The Lifter of Men" (Parts 1 & 2) by Apostle Joshua Selman Nimmak.

It is what is on your head that determines your possibilities.

My brother never give up....
I don't want to tell you mine, because if I do, my mood will change for the rest of the day.I have a lot of sad memories I don't like sharing with people again....

Listen to Joshua Selman messages. Your story will change. Start with "the lifter of men".
