My brother... We are all equal forget about money now... My mentality and approach to money is different... I am not disperate too... The only thing that bit me everyday is how to better the people around me... This is my only worry and fear in life.

Otherwise personally there is nothing absolutely nothing in this world

On the 1m usd it was suppose to be a loan/share to a friend building a refinery... Which was supposedly a processing fee to secure bank guarantee from a foreign bank. But at last it was yahoo boys that was manipulating him...

This is in response to this wonderful thread https://www.nairaland.com/4852491/how-old-when-made-first

After going through the thread i realized that many had made money but lost all or a good chunk.

This is my own story.

Abattoir Investment

As a student in Futa, i usually patronized a butcher called Nurai at the abattoir behind Chicken Republic at FUTA Junction. The guy was very nice to us and always gave us extra meat to what we bought. When i had my first major breakthrough, this guy was the first person that came to my mind.

I gave Mr. Nurai 500,000 naira as investment into the business. The man lost all the money within a few months. I still like him and i know he did not do it intentionally but it was a big blow to my finances when i needed a backup source of income.

business agreement with a nairalander i wont mention his name, but i had an agreement with a nairalander, but i suspect he diverted the money into mmm. Long story short he still owes me 400k after refunding about 600k to me.

Ministry of works contract
Never take a contract during elections. Goodluck Jonathan awarded lots of contracts a few months to the 2015 elections. I got several road furnishing contracts November 2014. Unfortunately we had to borrow money to do the Job. Lost about N7million there. Government still owing us 54million (i did it in partnership with another company in Abuja) it was a massive blow and my worst mistake in life not just business.

What is your own story? Be honest and detailed so we can learn from each other.

HardMirror:
wow!!! Seems mmm did a lot of people in. Whenever you get scammed dont bother fighting the scammer, learn your lesson and move on. I have never reported any case to the police. It does not worth it

Eberechi24:


Sad story. More reasons I don't pity fraudsters/scammers when they are caught. They don't have conscience.
MMM was another disaster to investors
May God keep u strong.

Never start a business with loan especially a new one you have no first hand experience.

I obtained a loan of N300k (short term) to finance a long term project which really backfired that i had to pay back with the interest and still unable to execute the project proper.
But with proper and accurate preparation,calculative risk and high level of investment decision,i'm making my first million in few months time.


Never give up!!!

Andrew202:
I have carefully gone through your posts. Really touching and informative. I hope we learn from our mistakes.

Meanwhile I also have my own story. Last yr I invested over 5million naira in establishing a new record company. Avalon okpe shot the video of our Artist, spent over 1.5 m in equipping our music studio to world class standard. After all said and done, Artist no blow, record label studio turned commercial studio did not even pay from Artist recording.
It was a big mistake, huge loss and regret.

I am an IT guru and computer programmer. My regret is not investing in my field of specialization. I invested in music biz bcus of someone close whom I felt could handle and manage it well but did not.

My lesson learnt is to invest my money is a business that is related to my profession or area of specialization. This way you will be able to handle your business personally and effectively. Only you can do it better.

Instead of going for the software unlock, you could have just bought a chip to be using on the iPhones.

a chip costs just ₦5,000 in computer village. and even cheaper sef if you buy in bulk (total cost would be spread to about ₦3k5 to ₦4k)

Anyhow sha, I'm sure you didn't know about that. We learn everyday
Bro I need u to enlighten me on the use of this chip and how I can get it.
I have attached what a SIM chip looks like.

Bit more than I could chew in 2014. Just graduated, waiting for NYSC mobilisation and I borrowed money to set up a block industry in Abuja. The demands to pay back, my brother-friend lifesaving on the line and some other factors I still don't understand crumbled the business. I lost about 350k. I still live with the pain of losing someone's money.

Bought a commercial vehicle in Lagos in 2015/16 while serving but wicked drivers and personal carelessness cost me that too. Now in a private school doing A for Apple, B for Ball till I get enough capital to venture into another business. God help me

What happened to me this year sef just get as e be.

So I was finally making N25k daily from my website and saved more than N1m and decided to hire a professional SEO company to handle my seo so that I can rank for more keywords and make more money. My target is to make 100k+ daily which is actually what my competition make.

The SEO company charged N150k per month and on the first month we found out that Google had penalized my site because of a Yoast plugin issue. With the Yoast plugin new update they was an option which was usually turned off by default but was on with the new update and thus pages were created automatically using images and no content. Coincidentally Google's new algo or whatever just came out and in it included a rule against pages with only images. And thus I was bleeped.

You can read more about the Yoast issue here https://charlesfloate.co.uk/yoast-mess-up. Many people were affected by this issue. If you go through the comments you will see one guy complaining about how he went from $1,000 per month to $100 because of his drop in traffic.

Also the seo company discovered that for some reason my backlinks created to my website were being removed so now I had to pay for on-site seo and also backlinks. To cut the long story short I spent all my savings trying to resolve this issue and I am still working on building more backlinks.

Daily income has gone down to N5k-N10k daily and yes I am royally bleeped because I have to fuel my gen and run it for 24 hours as we barely have power here. Nepa did not even blink the light throughout the weekend and as I write this the generator is on and making noise. Data, feeding, diapers, baby food etc sef dey there but we are managing.

I don't even know what to call this one. Whether bad investment or simply bad luck but thought to share.

By the way, based on the kind of person I am due to the low traffic I was getting and free time I got I used that spare time to build 3 new websites and now I am working on building them to profitability. Man never back down
