eniorisha: I don't see anything wrong in what he said tbh unless am missing something.Self pity is not going to do anybody good. that's just the truth We all come from different backgrounds.Some of our parents set us on the path which we are now,some of us had to burst our asses to get it. I can complain all day on why my people didn't have billions of naira to make me not to worry about working a day in my life. But the truth is they didn't.If I want that lifestyle,I must go out of my comfy zone to get it. 3 Likes |

eniorisha: At times its better to just burst out into the wild without knowing where you are going and the dangers that lie ahead.Many people die poor because they're are not ready to take that extra step. I remember one day i was talking with a friend of mine.I told him i rather remained unemployed than to work in a bank.He showed me the reason why he would do so. He said that the banking was a very good place to meet rich people.You do the man know man thing.Get to be his unofficial personal financial manager.Make life easier for him through depositing and withdrawals,then get close to him. That way things,luck could smile on you. If you look at it from the stress point of view,you could easily pick up a tricycle for yourself. Its stress free and you are your own boss.But as a bank staff,you easily have access and know rich folks. The probability of getting connection through bank is higher than getting that connection through picking a rich customer. Many Igbo boys come out of their villages to serve their ogas with just nylon bags.Many of them go to serve people they have never met.Many that serve dont even know the type of trade their bosses are into until they enter shop.But at the end of the day,the ones that have sense make out something with what they were given. What am trying to say is this. You can stay in the village and wait till you see a clear path or you can come out and create that path for yourself.At the end of the day,you are responsible for only person.That is you 11 Likes 1 Share |

But, is there really no hope in the villages or other towns apart from Lagos, pH, Abuja and to a lesser degree Kano? My principle is that everyone cannot be in Lagos we can see that from the congession in the city. Even China de complain say everyone wan go stay Shanghai. But in the book Acre of Diamond, it says if you look around your environment you can find that niche that you can compound to etch a living for yourself. There are very many people in Lagos who live their life on hope when they probably would have been more productive in other smaller cities or towns. Adiwana: 4 Likes 1 Share |

ahiboilandgas:The guy has just 500k savings. Where is he going to stay when he gets to lagos? Rent a house and buy basic things in it. How much would be left for him to survive till he gets reasonable thing doing in Lagos? There are millions of people already in Lagos and trying different things just to be financially free to no avail. Honestly, getting funny inspiration from those that succeeded is not enough o. What about the millions that tried and failed? We are built differently. What works for me, might not work for you. I ran into my secondary school best friend in lekki job hunting and I decided to help him. I taught him my business and how to run it from importation and all. I even gave him important contacts and a million naira to start small which he did but guess what? Within a year, everything went underground! ![]() 4 Likes |

eniorisha: Hope is not a strategy. Let me give you 2 experiences of people who faced similar situations. I had a room mate in the University. He studied Economics and graduated with a First Class. Upon graduation, he was looking for lecturing job in the University and wasted about 2 years there. Subsequently, he went back to his home town in Ekiti state and was teaching Mathematics and Economics there. We got talking and was saying the same thing you're saying. No one to help, nowhere to stay in Lagos, etc. I gave him the same advice I'll give you now. Your location is limiting you. You aren't doing too badly by the general standards of your location. The problem is that you desire what your location can't give you. I suggest you seek greener pastures in other locations. My uncle entered Lagos with only his "portmanteau" and his Law degree without knowing anybody. He was squatting with his friend in the old Nurses hostel in Ikoyi. He went to Law school in this Lagos and got his first job thereafter. Today, he's the Legal Director of a Multinational company here in Lagos and a wealthy man. My friend I mentioned in the beginning moved to Lagos, got a fantastic job in a Telecoms company and the last time we spoke, he was in China on a business trip. I understand that you are risk averse but please, how do you want to be great in life without taking risk? You want God to help, remember Abraham also relocated severally in the Bible? I suggest you find a way to connect with those who require your skills and are willing to pay better than you currently earn. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

OgogoroFreak: I respectfully disagree that that amount isn't adequate to start life in Lagos Sir Discontentment is principal. The extent to which one is discontented can energize one with the strength/zeal/zest/temerity to succeed. So I respectfully share a different view from you Sir. With 80k he can get a room even in Ajah life, 30k to buy food stuffs ime quarter bag rice beans garri. 20k print CVs up to 100, 20k budget for tfare and do serious distribution on the CVs within a month he'll get a job. Alternatively he can get keke while scotting. Either way, he gets an opportunity to earn beta than stay at the villages. I've toured across 45 villages across the length and breadth of the country and I must say honestly one can stay in the village but must apply self intelligently to excel I.e by having unrestricted internet, solar power or gen and most importantly what to do with oneself while the resources are out together Sir So, 500k is decent to start a life in Lagos Sir 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by OgogoroFreak(m): 7:33pm On Dec 07, 2019 |
healthserve:Job is never guaranteed for anybody. There are millions of graduates who have been searching for about 5 years now. You talked about him buying Keke and renting an 80k house in ajah. How secured would that house be? Where is he going to be parking that Keke? Hope, you know everyone eyes dey red in Lagos sha? There are many people with such funny believe that use their life savings to travel abreand today, they don't even have flights money to comeback home. An uber driver almost committed suicide after using his life savings to rent a small house, buy corolla and it was stolen from where he parked it outside his house less than 3months. My point exactly is, make sure you have a good backup when all fails cos you might not be far from suicide. 2 Likes |

OgogoroFreak: Trust me. I'm a man with deep penetrated grassroots tenaciousness. Teacher job no dey scarce lie lie. So also pure water loaders, Drivers and then keke drivers. To get keke in Lagos, all he needs to do is approach any of the park as for the keke heads and tell them what he's saying here. Secondly, many institutions give new keke on two years ibstalmental payments life. You see those houses you guys build and then relocate overseas, agents rent them out at throw way price hence 80k, those who know, know... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the city, its how rugged one is on the street that manners oh.

OgogoroFreak: Yes. He didn't know a single soul in Lagos. When he got to Lagos, he met people at Deeper Life in Lagos and they helped him get someone to squat with. You see, in this life, you either have results or you have excuses. No two ways about it. It's left for us to pick what we want. I am recollecting tons of people close to me who came to Lagos without knowing anyone. They are successful people and some have even relocated out of Naija. 3 Likes |

healthserve:Can everybody be rugged on the street? Some people have gentle nature and they have been like that all their life. I'm not against people trying things out but I don't advice anyone to try something completely new to them with their life savings cos when you loss all and need help, that's when you'll know that almost all the contacts you have as friends are useless! 3 Likes |

MrMcJay: This ur story is wow! Let me tell u my own version,I am an Igbo man born to a disadvantaged family in Lagos. After my graduation from the university in the Eastern part of Nigeria,I relocated to Abuja even when I knew it was tough for me at that time i mean really tough. It got so bad that my parents called me one day that I should come back to Lagos which I persuaded them it will get better someday. Lo and behold,I got a bank job where I was paid 48k as monthly salary and I managed it until I got someone who introduced me to side hustle which i started with the entire money I had saved throughout NYSC. Today, am happy to have left Lagos for Abuja and even the Bank job which I learnt so much from and my earning per month is in millions from just my side hustle per month. I don't mean to say all this here but to encourage someone out there to take the bold step in life. 9 Likes |

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by MrMcJay(m): 8:31pm On Dec 07, 2019 |
OgogoroFreak: Okay, that's not his friend, it is his enemy. "Might, Maybe, If". I'm telling you raw first hand facts and you're guessing what may have been. Someone that told me the reason he chose the University he attended in the East was so that he could be getting free food from his uncle's house cos they wouldn't give him money after paying his fees. That's the person you're saying had the money to rent house in Lagos. Bros, stop helping that guy look for excuses where there are none. I have a Nairalander who was posted to Lagos as a corper. She stayed in the RCCG family house at Yaba, later she saved and got a small students bed space in Yaba. Today, she's running 2 jobs in Lagos and I'm very proud of her of maximising little opportunities. If everyone starts telling you their stories, you go hear, your ears go full. 5 Likes |
