Hello women and gentlemen, good day to you all,

I want to ask about something that has bothered me since so I need to bring it out the largest Forum in Africa.

Am in my early 20s but not up to 25 years of age now, I run a company here in Nigeria, I also have assets, trademarks and the like...
I make more than 300k profits monthly from the company..

I have talent in singing music, I have a very good voice, I can sing very well.

I need advice

What is the best way for me..

Should I just stay in Lagos Nigeria to sing and make money along side with my business or I should travel out to USA to further IT skills and expand my business


I need advice on this

Travel out..
Music is a multi billion dollar industry in America...of. Your that good you'll make more there...

If you can set up business in a harsh environment like Nigeria..you'll make mega box in the us ..your smart..

Diversify... improve yourself by upgrading your IT skills...or have various sources of income

He can always launch and promote it in Naija without any working permit.
Tiwa Savage , Rema etc are examples
I don’t know the history of all these people you mentioned, how they started. One thing is certain, Tiwa savage didn’t start by appearing on Times Square street bill board. Once you have the money, anything can be done but not when you are still struggling.

You guys think all these guys making noise up and down in the name of music artistes are rich, I laugh....


Both Davido oh, Wizkid oh, 2face Idibia oh, Flavour oh, just name them, they are all average, they aren't rich and will never measure up to a successful business person, so focus on growing your business, and you will pay those music artistes one day to come and be singing while you and your friends are fooling around with side chicks or to come and sing for your child's birthday.


Most entertainment celebrities are not rich, they are just popular and financially okay when on top of their music career, most of them don't have a secured future that their kids can inherit, so don't let all their noise and showoff on social media fool you, you better focus on growing that your company and business and you will live a fulfilled life smiley

someone who is worth $23m is not rich? oh boy fo find better dictionary

All he need is good music and some necessary cash.
He’s good to go.
He doesn’t have any of those for now. He is still planning on going into music and had not successfully lunched any yet.
Talking about the money, how much do you think 300k a month is? That is #3.6M per year. Which is just $10k. He might not even be able to save $5k from it.
That amount can’t even buy ticket, pay accommodation, feed for more than a month if he has no other income.

Exactly my thought
Stillthebest:
kiss

You already have a platform here. Most issues with youths in Nigeria are; lack of platform, where to start from and what to do. Obviously, you have conquered the three factors and you are just confused about adding another cap to your level as an entrepreneur.

If many have such, they won't bother to go n hustle abroad where they become second class citizens but will just build on that.

My advice: build on the platform you already set for yourself, annex it, make it more successful and stronger, be more focused and hardworking, launch your music career after a lil while.

America will just be a visiting ground for you in no time.

You do know you can do both right? Either you stay in Nigeria or not, you have 2 good visions. Just have to be smart and think right. Keep your business intact, dey go back and forth US <--> Naija until you get papers (If u don get visa already) or if you don get am already. U fit arange. the little wey u dey make and wetin u fit make fit help u. Just stay focused do IT or continue music IT at top level in the US go give u money, If God answer ur prayer for music for naija, u blow for there Naija level fit help with International recognition.

U no even need bring am here just sit think am well, dey smart with am and see wetin go happen

Stupid Questionundecided

Man if you have the opportunity and the cash to go to the USA, don't ask a stupid question just move, save your life first.

Traveling out of Nigeria is a big favor you have done your self.

You can stay there, drop Naija songs and promote here and still make it.

If you have the talents and the dope songs you can blow from there.


Nonso Amadi wasn't based here, but he blew from there.

Are you going with a tourist visa only to overstay? That will be the worst mistake you can make, even minimum wage job you will not get and the wahala you will go through to change status I can only pity you. Anyway pack your bag and go experience they say is the best teacher.

Lots of business men are worth more than that and you can hardly hear about them.


Entertainment celebrities are noisemakers, and they know it, when they meet the real moneybags they are loyal but when they meet their fans they form too big to keep deceiving their followers.


Showbiz is all about make believe and fake life.

If you make more than 300k profits monthly from the company, what are you going to do singing or going to abroad. Stay her in Nigeria and manage the company well, and you sing your "singing" as a part time thing!

Bros my sincere advice to you is to go abroad, grow your business and do your music on the side. The Nigerian music terrain is to rigid and uncertain. It's money draining too, and not until you're in the "big leagues" before you can start getting good returns.

Over there you could very well be "indie" without a record label and still command good figures depending on your musical reach. There's quick return on investments from pure physical sales and streaming. People hardly stream here, and record sales are a minus or at the very best meager all thanks to piracy.

Bros go abroad, don't waste the opportunity if you've got it. You seem very focused and intelligent, so I know you'd make the right choice.

Oga comprehension seems to be your problem.

the question asked is someone worth $23m is not rich in your eyes?

please stop make bland comparisons. we know there are lots of people richer than them.
