Hi Guys,

I have a friend who is working with one of the top oil firm in Nigeria, his current basic salary worth over N500k, recently he got an opportunity to start up a new business with the offer of N5million as the startup capital, would you advise him to quit his job?

Great response will be appreciated

Thanks

You can't apply for the position of a politician you know? It's a positioned assumed through electoral process. So its out of it.

Stoner69:
Politics is the highest paying Job in Nigeria.

Hey my fellow nairalanders, like i said the list is not final, it is based on a qualitative research analysis and not quantitative.

I have seen so many comments some of which are very hilarious.

Senator isn't a job is a political position you can't apply for the position of a senator.

I am so pleased with the comment about Entrepreneurship, There is no job that can pay you well like harnessing your God-given potentials and talents.

That post is only a projection based on the study carried out, so many jobs might be paying more than the jobs i listed but the future is just near.

I remember growing up as kids whenever we were asked what we would like to become in the future you will hear something like i want to become a doctor, lawyer, pilot, engineer or an accountant because these are jobs classified as being professional and we were made to idolized them by our teachers and even our parents. As time goes by we began to understand that there are hundreds of career out there one could pick up.

After a careful study and focused group discussion with rigorous analysis of the salary ranges for the thousands of jobs published on some job sites in Nigeria i arrive at this list. It is important to note that the list is by no means final but a well researched projection of jobs that will be considered most lucrative in the future based on the information garnered from different sources.

Here are the Top 6 Future Highest Paying Jobs in Nigeria

Aerospace Engineers

Aerospace engineers working in the country’s aviation sector got their professional and technical training outside the shores of the country and get paid handsomely. They are most likely licensed aircraft engineers and its a tasking profession that requires continuous technical expertise and sound judgement. Pilots earn well but do not come near the pay packet of aeronautical engineers.

Physicians – Obstetrics/Gynecologists

Examines female patients to ensure a healthy reproductive system. Monitors patient during prenatal, natal and postnatal periods and performs tests and prescribes medication and treatment, as necessary. Delivers babies, determining the method most appropriate to ensure health and safety of both infant and mother. Requires a degree in medicine from an accredited school and is licensed to practice. Pay varies greatly depending on area of practice.

Software Developer & programmer

The demand for software developers and programmers is growing at a geometric progression. The drastic growth in technology development which has creeped into third world countries has necessitated the need for people who are specialized in developing apps and writing programs for diverse purpose to address different burgeoning needs of the people. In Nigeria presently, with the increase in the use of smartphones and tablets software developer are becoming indispensable to the sustainability of this growth to develop social apps and programs people can relate with. These guys are hot cake even at the moment.

Creative Designers & Coding

I know you might be surprised seeing graphic designers here, yes, this is a job that will be paying 3-4 million per-annum in the future, i am not talking about quack or road side graphic designers, though they have their own share of the cake but am talking about professional graphic artistes that are highly creative and also do coding. These guys are always relevant and with the stiff competition in the market creativity will spot the difference.

Civil Engineer

Presently in Nigeria the business of real estate is becoming so popular that so many people want to become a real estate agent, because of this, the need for civil engineers in Nigeria in the future will be high because so many housing issue is still a basic problem in Nigeria

Digital Marketing Analyst

You might also want to argue this, the need for digital marketing specialist or analyst in the future will so be high requiring paying those who are experts in this field, this is because of numerous eCommerce company springing up everyday, the growth in online merchandising will definitely necessitated need for more competent hands in the future as these guys are not earning less than 3 million per-annum

It is no doubt that the issue of unemployment is at an alarming rate in Nigeria even while thousands of students are graduating every year, It doesn’t even matter again what course you studied in school it is now more of what you can do and what you have passion for with how many certifications you have to show for it.

https://s2.postimg.org/dufuugynt/Brand_perception.jpg

Perception literally is the opinion others have formed about you over a period of time, whether good or bad people generally have impression about one another. Sometimes you hear something like “The guy is so nice” or ” That lady is very rude” the good thing about perception is that most times our habits and characters largely determines what kind of impression people have about us. This same perception is applicable to companies or individual brand.

For instance any time you see the Coca-cola logo there is a thought that pop up in your mind which is simply the impression you’ve held long time ago about Coke. Do you know customers opinion is more significant than ever in determining brand perceptions?

You might think you’ve rightly positioned your brand but on the long run what the customers says about you is what matters most. The consequence of this is that we must first understand what those opinions really are, what do consumers really think about you, your products and services? How does this compare to your competitors and the wider market?

What even is a brand?

Majority have different ideas of what the word “brand” means. To some a brand is a logo, to others a slogan, and to others it represents the people, products, or services of a company they see in the media.

A social media expert Brian Solis and Chris Brogan came up with a creative idea that “it is simply a mental creation to help users understand one company/product/service/industry over another, and ultimately a culmination of shared experiences”.

Understand before acting

While marketing managers and brand owners may believe they have a very strong understanding of what their brand is, it may not be accurate.They certainly may have a good grasp of what their brand means to them, how it is positioned and what the message is supposed to be.

However, the public perception may not correlate to this vision. As we all know, perception is reality, so whatever people are thinking about and saying about your brand, is your brand.

Brand perception

Brand perception and experiences are developed over time through a variety of sources, including:

Previous experience with the brand
Interactions with sales, customer service, and other employees
Recommendations from friends and colleagues
Reviews by reputable sources
Advertising

I have seen most people tagged a particular eCommerce site as selling fake and late delivery, some online retailers have been tagged fraudulent, while very few have actually been credited for great service, the danger of this is that if the negative opinion is not changed the company may fold up eventually because the customers largely determine the existence of any firm.

I have seen companies in Nigeria go on extinction because of incessant poor customer feedback about the brand, some are currently loosing customers because of bad perception they are getting from customers while some are concentrating so much effort to work on this some believe it’s just a tale of an angry customer believing they have monopoly of the market or the customers can’t do without them. Watch your business dwindle right before your eyes if you don’t pay adequate attention to customers needs.

It can be discouraging especially if you’re a new blogger in Nigeria when you find out most of your blog posts are not being read, sometimes it makes you want to give up and most times you find it very difficult to fathom what the problem is because you’ve done your best to create a content and share it on different social medial channel but still you are not getting the traction you want. In some instances, your blog may only get a few dozen hits each post. And the only shares that happen come from your own social media accounts.

“Why aren’t people reading my blog posts?”

This same question may have popped up in your mind. I know it’s one I’ve struggled with before. Every new blogger has struggled with the concept of traffic, audience and building a successful blog. And that’s why many give up on their blogging before they see success.

Instead of giving up you can identify the reasons people aren’t reading your blog. Then take strategic steps to improve.

These 10 reasons will help get you started on your quest:

1. You haven’t identified a strong audience persona

You can’t create creative and captivating content without an in-depth knowledge of your audience. Personas i.e your target audience personalities not only help you create better content, but they also help guide your topics, strategy and monetization efforts. Don’t strive to make your blog appeal to all and sundry!

2. You don’t know how your audience searches for content

This requires a deeper step into your overall persona.

What does the audience search for?
What kind of things do they need to learn?
How can my content serve those needs?
Answer those questions and you’ll not only have a path for content creation, but you’ll know exactly how to optimize for search engine.

3. You don’t publish new posts on a regular schedule

Something i have observed about those who read blog posts is that they want consistency. This is why you will always find traffic flowing towards lindaikeji blog because they know they will find something new to read. Without consistency, your audience might never become attached to your blog content. It can be tough in the face of competing priorities, but create a schedule and stick to it.

4. You aren’t creating content that provides enough value

For most people online time is a precious thing. If you don’t offer immense value through your content, why should someone waste that little time they have consuming your content? so create content of great value.

5. You don’t test different types of blog posts for engagement

Most bloggers don’t test what content works and what doesn’t all they just do is post content. There are numerous types of content that drive traffic and you need to discover what works for your audience and not what only appeals to you.

6. You don’t include enough images throughout the post

Humans are visual creatures we love to see and watch something. This is one of the secret of the likes of Bella naija and Lindaikeji they always have something interesting to feed your eyes it’s either they are talking about wedding or Kardeshian family. Including images throughout your post creates natural breaks in the content. This keeps readers engaged and reading, instead of distracted and leaving.

7. Poor & Unattractive Blog Design

You will be surprised that readers respond to the layout and design of your blog. In many ways the design of your blog will influence someone to read. If you have an outdated, unprofessional blog design, would-be readers will leave your site before they ever give your content a chance.

8. Your blog isn’t optimized for mobile reading

Are you aware that more and more people are using their smartphones to consume content. It’s also increasingly important for SEO. A responsive design ensures that your website is optimized for mobile viewing. Don’t overlook this key design aspect because people now spend more time with their mobile devices.

9. Your blog takes too long to load

By nature Nigerians are impatient they always want to get things done faster and this also transcends to surfing the web. If your website takes too long to load, readers will abandon their quest to get information from your site – and they’ll quickly find it somewhere else.

10. Your headlines are not compelling

The first thing readers get to see in the content of your post is the headline. The headlines you use could mean the difference between dozens of people reading your post and thousands of people flocking to your blog. Spend as much time on the headline as you do for the entire post, if that’s what it takes. It’s that important to the success of your blog.

There are so many reasons why people might not be reading your blog posts but the 10 reasons higlighted above covers some important aspect of successful blogging.

The growth of online shopping in Nigeria became more apparent after people have tested different eCommerce site to ensure they are not scammed which is also mainly the reason online retailers also introduces payment on delivery (POD) to encourage people to buy online and pay only when they have received the item. Those who faces the menace of fraudulent transactions more are the eCommerce platform that allows other people to sell on their platform like OLX, Konga, Kaymu, , Efritin.com, Cheki and many others.

Scamming activities is quite rampant on some of these platforms because of the difficulty in validating the authenticity of the sellers. People randomly posts items on this platform to sell on once a transaction is generated there might be need of buyers and sellers to meet offline, this has actually given scammers the privilege to use the platform and arrangement to dupe potential buyers. One platform where this is more rampant is OLX

OLX is one of the easiest ways to sell and buy goods. Having a mobile app even makes using the platform more convenient. Convenient as it may be, there is need to ensure safety for the customers as they purchase goods and place ads.

Like any other business, issues of fraud arise on OLX and some other eCommerce platform so many times which is why buyers need to take caution to avoid being scammed. Here are some tips to help you know how to get the best experience form online and keep yourself safe at the same time.

how to avoid fraud online

These are 9 useful tips for both buyers and sellers to avoid fraudulent transaction:

1. Get a verifiable telephone number of the seller

2. Buy locally so you can inspect the item, meet the seller, and pay at the time of pick up or delivery. Also set up your meeting in a safe and secure environment. If need be, take a friend with you.

3. Use only those payment methods that you trust and are familiar with: The best way to transact is to exchange the item and payment at the same time. Don’t send money before you see the item and you are satisfied that it meets your requirements.

4. Do not share your financial information for example bank details, pin, e.t.c

5. As sellers it is preferable to take the full payment at the time of the delivery. Even when someone asks for a down payment for commitment, do not send accept.

6. Its advisable not to accept cheques. Cheques can be cancelled or bounce. Payments done through cash transaction are the best option followed by mobile money transactions. The cash payment should only be used if the payment is not much. Don’t carry too much money as you can be set up for a robbery.

7. Verify the buyer credentials if there is a request for a bulk order. Ask for a photocopy of the ID or other documents to confirm the buyer is who is receiving the goods.

8. Get a verifiable telephone number from the buyer.

9. Ensure that your product meets the features you list in your ad post to avoid misunderstandings with buyer.

Always assume every potential sellers and buyers are potential fraudsters until you see the item you want to buy, pay for it and take it to your destination.

That is great though.
