Everybody sounding like they making tons of cash in business yet Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Even the op tried several business and failed woefully yet he thinks he is a master at dishing out advice. It's not about how much you make, it's how much you keep and how it works for you. Make shell or Mobil give you employment make I hear say u go wan sell bag or shoe for main market. 2 Likes |

If your the job type better marry woman wey get sense not those oloshos that only know iphone and Bone straight hair (abi na bone thugs sef). Woman wey fit manage wuna money well can help push you 10x in life. Hear word o! As a close friend to a bureau de change seller I can tell you for free you should have a side hustle.

AltarBoy1: Just look for a problem to solve and the money starts to come in. That is the simple key and logic. Nice write up. U can’t make multimillions or billions working for sm1 and even if u do by chance of the global nature of the company there will be a level u can’t cross. To cross that other level of fortune u must own ur own business or be a partner. 1 Like |

Interesting I must say Now here is my own story I have been jobless since 2018 I did some contract job with an oil company which wasn't stable and lost it totally at the end of 2018.. Was hopless,confused and low in spirit Then I decided to visit my fiancee in one of the far north states.. (North Central) It was difficult to make up my mind to travel due to the security situation of the country, as anyone I told advised me not to embark on such journey, but one girl gingered me and I prayed and set up to go, it was a long and crazy journey but I finally arrived, got there and my fiancee works in a commercial bank, normally she will make me comfortable before leaving early in the morning, but as a guy man and someone that is looking for opportunities, I will always move around to check the environment and interact with people, though language was a major barrier (Hausa) as bike men and market people will always tell me bar English, I will then call her for directions, of which she will start shouting and cautioning me to stay home ,but i nodey hear word! One day I brought her lunch to her office, and saw bags of rice every where beside her office, I entered and asked about the prices, it was difficult to communicate with them until I saw a Yoruba man that understands English, we spoke and he explained some certain things to me and I left, on Saturday I took her there(my fiancee) as she can understand Hausa abit, we made more enquiries, bought some, came back and cooked and it was nice, we made up our mind and I came back to my base, she will buy after work and send down to me, I did aggressive online /physical advert and it started moving, finished the first trip and ordered for the second, the second finished in less than one Week! Then something happened She was transferred out of the state without prior notice, customers were demanding and there was no good, it was crazy, I ran mad, and the demand rose up then because people liked my product and the recommendation grew, Until we secured a way of sending the product down here, so starting business is not easy, and it comes with its own challenges, by God's grace we will keep growing, I intend to have my own shop someday, as I'm sharing with a friend, I only stock there and do online marketing and then reach out to people physically. So if you're in portharcourt or it's environs, kindly patronize me, I sell stone and chaf free Nigerian rice at affordable price.. My contact is on my signature and I stock at eleme junction before reason filling station by igboetchie junction.. God bless you, the ops right up really inspired me to keep pushing.. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

OP,I read your post twice. Started yesterday and repeated today.e get why. Your post na mini MBA. I am glad that you have seen the best of the two world's. Your experience will also fortify you from the dear of starting small as you had done so before. You also paid attention while you were hustling your own business and when you were working in the bank. I have no criticism for you, your time doing your own business and at the bank is not a waste. I am sure you would have met one or two people who will become useful for you i. The future of your business. Small advice for you, you sabi explain something, your explanation is clear. Baba, expand and convert this post to book. If e no sell today, e go sell tomorrow. 7 Likes |

Great write up Bro. God bless your effort. However, let me just drop this: If you're married, just sit down your wife and have Frank conversations on how to improve the family and the future together and let her come up with buzz she can handle very well and progress despite any odds and challenges. You too come up with ideas and business you wish to do that can have your wife to manage it. Come up with business ideas and two of you decide which is better option and it becomes a child/ambitions of you both to nuture to maturity. As a man, you'll come in once a while to do some strategic thinking and some backup areas her strength might not carry but stick to your monthly income if it still pay the Bill's very well until both of you can afford to face the business 100%. One thing that men suffers most times is to be hiding their finances or not communicating very well with their wives to know the importance of commitment and sacrifice. Let her know that both of you must sacrifice to make the relationship last long, the business work fine and the children grow in peaceful family. Then help her to wave away some bad friends or ASSOCIATION through diplomatic ways till she realised you're all about her, her progress in life and the better future for both of you. I bet you, once a woman is committed to you and realised you are very straight and strategic with her and always planning for the future, she will do her best to make sure she managed the business very well. In conclusion, empowered your wife to a business woman or manage family business while you continue monthly earning but let the business process, managements, profits and others be well written out and be separated from day to day family expenses. 4 Likes |

AltarBoy1: love this thread of yours ,it would do wonders for many people out there. Just finished my service early this year, served at a big company but because of covid-19, we couldn't be retained by the company (at least I got a year of professional engineering experience under my belt). A month or so before service ended,my roomie convinced me to startup a little something he was doing, I did it and thanks to God, even though It wasn't easy early on and we have had losses, I think that it saved me during the worst of the covid-19 crisis. I agree with you totally. My people ,we all know the reality as in job hunting in the country. Before one gets out of the uni or secondary school,I will advice one to horn a skill or a good business plan and please surround yourself with peeps who have a vision. . A fellow corp member (my roomie)who served with me acquired electrical installation skill before he was even done with his HND program.That guy today has secured and is executing a contract for full electrical wiring of two duplexes in two different states,he is also a contract staff (electrician) of a construction company in Nigeria.By next month,he will be opening his own electrical store . Most firms in the country are slave dealers-the take up all your time and yet pay you just enough to keep your head above the tide. Worst are the private schools and indigenous firms.To truly be a man of your own, you have to achieve financial independence. Am talking from experience, even though my financial condition isn't rock solid, I at least have learned very important life lessons and, I wasn't in a critical situation during most of the covid-19 situation. I also have more room to manoeuvre my future in a direction I want it to go-with God's help of course 4 Likes 1 Share |

cayorday89:am sorry i cant type long (using a small phone). The truth is that it will be hard for you to convince her when she is not ready, some of them prefer working under somebody(hospital) licence is not the main problem there. The ability to take proper good business record is another thing. Is not all about selling and putting money in drawer lol .drug also expire, remember all i say do not and will not affect her directly as long as she is working under someone. she is a woman, many of them dont like to take risk and the risk in business is inevitable.( to be nwa boy is not easy imagine typing these with tecno 528). jezzz... 1 Like |

And she knows all that cos we discuss a lot, like the proper recording and the drug expiry as she brings some home from work if it is close to expiry and they been unable to sell it before its expiry period, to market it to chemist in our area or for use at home before its expiry.. 1 Like |
