nobody do you juju,you were simply a kid and got no experience.
Even if it's juju, he has gotten the experience you talking about ,
I'm a business man and I can tell you it has happened many times to me but I thank God I usually run to the mountains when the heat becomes much.

A lot of people find it difficult to make a choice or take a stand concerning this topic.

Back up your take with some points and examples if available.

There are lots of factors to consider.
If you're starting a business, you'll need capital.
However, if you can combine your Job and business together it's very good.
Starting a business does not necessarily need capital.

Them no dey ask person this question now

It solely depend on how much u have at that time now, someone with 5 million naira n above cant n looking for job now n someone with 50k in account can’t talk about setting up a business

Entrepreneurship is about turning 0 to 100. It is not compulsory about turning 50 to 100.

Doing a job first helps to build work discipline and have a little idea about how business is run.

Some jobs pay better financially than owing a business

Businesses take more toll on u psychologically than a job.

Businesses can fail, u can also lose your job

Businesses make your time more flexible

If you start a business, make you learn the rudiments of business and effective risk management

A good paying job is always better than business...

not in incomr perse..but with jobs, u are more organized than with business...

with business u bear a lot of risk alone

with business, policy changes can wreck u

with business a greedy employee can finishh u up

with business, u will always be a coordinator of a large stace of logistics...

most times in business, u dont really mk gain as ppl think...

with business ur closest competititor might kill u

in business, ur always upbeat about having a good day of business

in business, u travel aand explore ur life less


thats all i cann say
In business your gains are not fixed.., unlike in job.

My job(s) in Canada pays me $8000/ month which is about what a make in my own business annual in naija.

Guess what? I relocated to naija to explore the full potential of my business. In case you're wondering, I'm a Canadian citizen.

Now...ask yourself some serious questions! WHY? grin

With where we are now in nigeria, the best option is to go and start a business or better still have multiple sources of income. Female Bank workers now they work from 9-5pm then go home and change and do like 2 hookups before going to work the next morning.

To survive in nigeria now you must be wise and forget about religion. Just make sure you make the bread by all possible means.


Really how did you know have u seen one before

I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PERSON FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS AND TODAY I WAS LAID OFF DUE TO AN ALLEGATION BY MY BOSS'S MISTRESS WHICH I TOTALLY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT.
DURING THOSE 7 YEARS I MISSED LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES, AND HAD NO SOCIAL LIFE. I LIVED IN CONTENT AND I WAS VERY DILIGENT. ALL FOR WHAT? FOR NOTHING.

ONTOP OF THAT I LOST MY DAD JUST RECENTLY AND NOW MY JOB. RENT IS OVER DUE.AND I SURE WONT BE ABLE TO FEED MY FAMILY FR D NEXT WEEK. THIS IS MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

IF I HAD VENTURED INTO A MICRO BUSINESS BY NOW I WLD AV BEEN ENJOYING MY PROFIT.

RIGHT NOW I'M DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL. ITS LIKE I'M STARTING MY LIFE AFRESH.

PLS LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES. ALWAYS INVEST NO MATTER HOW LITTLE. I RISKED EVERYTHING FOR A 30K SALARY THAT CAN BARELY SUSTAIN ME. ALL BECAUSE I HAD COLD FEET STARTING A MICRO BUSINESS.

Get a job. Use part of your salary to fund a part time business...
A job is not the ultimate, you can be laid off or replaced anytime.

Business ain't easy as it seems.

But if you study it well, good training and skills, there is 60% chance you will succeed.

But with full honesty, I worked for 3 years after graduation before I started my own business and I can tell u with full confidence to start a business at early age.

Presently, I am in my house watching arise tv while my staffs are working, the joy is topnotch unlike back then when I had to leave home as early as 5:30pm on a 120k job monthly with fear of not getting sacked.

You need a job to finance a business, but if you have the capital already, please start a business and quickly learn the failures and benefits of business asap.


I forgot, I was later sacked sha cuz they reduced our salary to 70k but thank my brain that I have saved enough already.

thanks for this... I have all the required capital, I have started buying the equipment i need to start my business but am so so scared.
someone told me to start early and fail early so as to quickly correct things but am still so scared.

Please at what age did you start your business and how was your failure or challenges like? if there is any.

Because statistically 1 out of 10 businesses fail in the first 5 years while an employee is guaranteed income a business owner isn't, also there's a possibility you'd start calling those "people" to ask them for loan and grants if/when the business starts shaking

Business ain't easy and not for the faint hearted but you can't be a rich/wealthy man with a 9-5 job except you're corrupt.

Just pray God gives you a divine idea 💡that will make you stand out. If your business idea is as a result of copy and paste, you will only be floating and likely end of frustrated.
