Gbamsulotely, identify a problem and solve it, l absolutely agree with this sentence from your post, identify a problem either physical, mental, health, financial, Marital, Emotional, psychological, spiritual etc solve the problems and money will flow to your direction cheesy
But boss, when you identify a problem and you don't have the skills needed to solve that problem, do you then learn the skill at then or must it be something you already Know how to solve.

There are many ways to get rich in Nigeria. The smart ones figured it out and kept it to themselves. If they dare show themselves, everyone and their grandmother will jump into in, abuse it and render it useless just like POS business, hotel business in the SE, and what they tried to do to Guiness World Record recently.

[quote author=LikeAking post=124694741]First of all you have to belong.
Secondly you have to be informed.
Thirdly you need to have talents.
And last but not the least you need to solve a problem..
Many people are making money, but they hide it..
Those ones you mentioned can't be hidden, so everyone jump on them.
But above all you have to belong first.

Sincere Question, "how do prople get rich?".
I want to base the question on Nigeria alone.
How do Nigerians get rich ?

I look around and all i see is just salary earners, youth into poultry farming, fisheries,
POS stand, hairdressers, carpenters, Gambling and bet, modernized TAXI drivers making use of some apps, clothe sellers and many more?
Basically, many are not even living an average life. We are living below the average.

I have been wondering, how can i escape from this "below average life" or "average life"?
i look around me and watch the TV. On the media and in songs, you hear different adoration of some Nigerians who had achieved the wealth threshold. How did they do it? i am sorry if i sound crazy!

For some of these rich people, you wonder, how was the struggle?
How were they able to build their friendship base. How were they able to survive the government's myriad taxation.
may bodies under the state government will charge you, my bodies under the federal government will charge you too.
if taxation doesn't kill your business, you go dey pray make thieves no ruin your business.

i would have asked, How do people get rich around the world, but the world is too large and answers i might get may not be applicable to the society i currently live in.
big respect to everyone that has been able to achieve wealth...

Learn the necessary skills and for some other's, it could be a talent or gift that God originally created you with eg A footballer, tall guy who takes advantage of his height to play basketball, an athlete like Usain bolt, etc take advantage of all the talent, gifts inside of you, hone it very well, and use it to solve people's problems and Money will flow to your direction cheesy

Honestly, this is one of the best questions someone have asked on Nairaland but sadly, many people are joking with their answers lol

Here's my honest opinion:

As a Nigerian from a poor or an average background, becoming rich is a very thing due to so many factors that hinders progress..

These factors also include religion and societal norms but this is a story for another day.

Despite that it is quite difficult to become rich in Nigeria, it doesn't mean it's impossible.

I have seen and related with ordinary Nigerians who rose from abject poverty to living a very comfortable life, LEGITIMATELY.

So many Nigerian youths are getting rich and richer legally and silently.

Aside some very important things that could help someone become rich such as mindset, environment, type friends, knowledge about money etc...

I've got to understand that Nigerian youths who get rich legitimately, do so mostly through the internet.

Businesses and skills in the areas of tech, trading, sales and marketing, and Internet business in general have help a lot of Nigerians escape poverty.

The ones who are still struggling financially are those whose cognitive inertia have deprived them of the result of learning, unlearning and relearning.

What most Nigerians are all about is a salary job. Onces they live school, they look for a job and keep working in different companies until they get old and die.

Some will struggle to save up part of their salaries to start up a business that requires millions as start up capital.

They don't want to learn how to make money through the Internet because they are probably scared of being scammed.

Bottomline is, getting rich Nigeria goes beyond talent, hardwork and connections. You must be stubborn and have a real hunger for wealth because a thousand and one thing will try to keep you broke all the time.

However, any Nigerian who desire to become rich must be willing to learn, unlearn, relearn, sacrifice, endure, persist and have some health obsession.

As I'm typing this, I'm also talking to myself. Because I'm not rich yet, but what I'm sure is that I wouldn't be where I am today, if I didn't know the things I've known now and do the things I'm doing now.

I believe that money is everywhere and all I have to do is to solve as many problems as I can and I'll have as much money as I want.

So if you want to get rich, look for a problem and solve. Because people who solve real problem are those who makes real money.

May God help us all.

You know idiots when they keep asking the wrong question.

What do you mean how so you get rich?..how do you get Intelligent. Strong, focus stamina.


People don't know how strong rich people are mentally, psychotically and physically. You don't even have close to that and you talking money.

Why calling the OP names…Contrary, I think the OP is smarter than you for coming to the level of thinking in this direction. Once you have come to the stage of thinking in this line, trust me you have start evolving beyond the average human level of thought, and that is directing you toward seeking the actual things in life that matter most…not liquid cash.

Go read the book of ecclesiastics and see Solomon line of thoughts. At a point he ask himself, what is man that God care for, just a mere man…Isaac Newton discovered gravity by questioning why a mango fell off downward from the tree and not upward..wright brothers question how a bird have the ability to fly, and replicated it on the first aeroplane, Elon Musk is questioning why humans can’t live anywhere else other than Earth…he’s got a project on moving humans to Mars…I can go on and on..so please don’t belittle people self awareness questions

Truth is, Information is key to wealth.
Sometimes the quality of friends u have can determine how far you would go.
Some were able to save money and when opportunity arose, They invested wisely. This is wisdom and Grace .
It was easy for some because they came from rich homes.
Beside all these, I think one needs alot of deep thinking to get through in this country.
Information and connection are so vital.
May God connect us to the right people one day.
Yes Sir, that's why I do check Nairaland daily. I was telling someone in my community that their is an electric bike but he said it's not possible. I saw a plant that the seeds is around 30k per 1kg today Online and funny enough the plant is hardly grown in Nigeria whereas it can grow. So, information is very important, another is positioning, books you read, movie you watch, your discussion with people, friends you make can influence. Are you making doers as friends or complainers? There are some people that sees problem in Everytime you see solution. Those kind of people will stunt your growth. Most world billionaires has a secret and it's getting to invest in a business first. You see musk investment in space X, bezoz in blue origin and Richard Branson in virgin Atlantic. Why is it always them, the reason is the see a gold mine in space investment and each of them want to get it done first.
In Nigeria also, you see Dangote coming into refinery business, his counterpart BUA is doing the same in Akwa ibom. So, what I see is their is always something new to invest in, and if those billionaires know about it, they will want to get their first.
The way we think is also important, our thinking classify us into different phases of wealth. Some will think of borrowing money from Bank not minding the risk of debt, he will established business, he will set up business, once the business booms, those who are scared of taking loan will be under him paying them peanut. They don't have to envy him because he's thinking made him where he's. what if he wasn't able to pay the loan?
If you give each Nigerians 1 million naira, after a month, some will still say they are poor. That's a function of thinking, management, financial intelligence.


Look at movie industry now, you can start shooting movie from your room and make millions of naira within a year. There's a skit maker called Erekere, I just know him some months ago, as at January this year, I don't even know him and am sure he wasn't popular then, but this week he bought Benz, Before you buy ordinary house during the era of Babasuwe you can be in the industry for eternity. What internet does to the like of Tems, Boy spyce, Asake is very incredible, During era of 2face, before people go Know you in industry, you can use 10 years, look at Tems winning Grammy, Boy spyce that Don jazzy took last year singing a song making number 10 on Apple chat some time ago. What of Asake, that one is so surprising, he sold 02 Arena tickets within 5 minutes and the website crash. What the like of Wizkid and burna do use like weeks to sell. Asake limelight isn't up to 2 years and he is getting 8 nominees in headies and 2 nominees in Grammy next year. So, in essence, one must learn what is needed of people and what sell in that Era. A Nigerian boy said Jackie Chan dmed him on Instagram about designing cover of a movie, the reply he gave him showed he was surprised but because of the number of followers the owner of account has, it made us believe he's not lying, Before internet, do you think this guy will ever come near Jackie? He knows that internet can help him meet several people, so, he kept on posting there. Most artiste are shifting back to Netflix because they know it's the next big deal. One must not be rigid in decision, and be diversified and not hate trying something new, keep trying something new and also believe in God.
