Maybe joining a group of about 20, where everyone put money together and one person takes everything on a weekly base . This method has helped me a lot.. example I make $5500 every month and I make sure $1200 goes to the savings while the rest goes into bill payment, food personal upkeep and so forth |

Biafranbushboy, some of these points are debatable. When you do business in Nigeria, you will understand that Nigeria's peculiarities beat common sense. A good investment article will break down how much you should invest, in what venture and what you are likely to make over what period of time. It goes without saying that there will be some calculations. You see, running a business in Nigeria is no child's play. Go and ask people. A lot of people who keep shouting investment up and down know next to nothing about it. Look, in Nigeria, if you are not the one running your business yourself, people will frustrate you. A typical Nigerian has a very bad intent...we are only interested in what we gain from our company. It's even worse that some employees steal from the same company that pays them monthly salaries. They don't have sympathy at all. More importantly, any business you don't understand perfectly, don't do it on Nigeria. Most Nigerian workers are criminals in suit and coveralls. Also, you invest in people's businesses with an agreement that they will pay you a particular profit. Later, they come back to tell you stories because the payment date is due. Yes, they know that if you arrest them, they can only tell the police that they will pay you peanuts in a period of 10 years. Finally, it's better you leave your hard-earned money in your account and wake up to see it every day than get into a silly business because you want to have multiple streams of income. In the long run, you just lose everything. 11 Likes 1 Share |

This article is way beyond some of the Nigerian Youths' income o OP I suggest you should have used a flat rate of 50k for starters like us as it is the average income of any fresh Nigerian graduate. I also second the opinion of no excuse because no matter where, when and why you fail no one wants to listen to your excuse if you've not succeeded! On the other hand, no one cares how you make it, just make it! In addition, multiple streams of income is the way to go in order to gain financial freedom. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

SoNature: This isn't an investment article, it is basically on financial mistakes being made by youths. Also, I dropped a link to some investments that are worth it... Lastly, business is the same everywhere irrespective of location. What varies are just challenges. Let me tell you, it is more challenging to make it outside Nigeria because of one thing... Tax! 5 Likes 2 Shares |
