I understand where you come from. However, with the presence of the Internet, information has been democratised and is universal. Laptops and phones are now cheaper than ever before. The issue I see is location and the determination. Some people have the phobia to change locations which could be, and actually is, very critical to their future success.

I had a friend who made a first class and was always lamenting of being called for aptitude tests in Lagos whereas he was based in Aba. The constant travelling and costs made him resigned from job hunting and decided to travel to Dubai to "hustle" (as I was told since we parted ties). However, I had another female acquaintance who was and is based in Lagos - so no excuses for aptitude tests - but wasn't informed of the many opportunities in the industry she was in. Meanwhile, I have another senior classmate who moved to Lagos, did his MSc at UNILAG and has worked in different corporations, and is doing very well. In a few years time, I believe he too will earn a million naira (the industry isn't that lucrative compared to finance or oil and gas). Yet again, I've another who moved to Abuja and got a sales role. Unlike the first three I mentioned, this lass had a second class lower, but she earns more than a million naira and got a company car and accommodation..

Two things characterise everyone: determination and location.

Everyone's destiny is in their own hands.
barely advantageous on the side of the male folks. As for the Female folks definitely I will agree to that. Males rise on grounds of outright connection. Determination and location change little or nothing at all with the male folks. From all you have said it’s clear as well! Same as myself, I can relate too. Most of my male friends after school (uni) are doing well as a result of backgrounds, the females asides background marriage and relationships raise them to ladders. If a beautiful and intelligent well dressed lady goes for an interview, her chances are high! Unlike the males, who send you!

As a man, if ones family ain’t well to do, chances are slim. Those who go into fraud is a result of this. Making by hook or by crook! Money no dey talk where e come from..!

A poor a man can affect many generations in poverty. It only takes God to help a man to escape economic woes if no family to help. Tis why guys fight hard to leave poverty in order not to stain coming generations…

Hamsaini:


This is where u come in sir. The s and the particular market in North.

Pls assist me with your . 08066630814

I believe the gentleman is talking about Dawanau market in Kano state. The market is huge for grains, pepper, onions and other commodities. Plus since Kano is relatively safe compared to other northern states in Nigeria, businessmen from the south feel comfortable coming down here to buy.

I'm a southernern who's lived in Kano all my life, fluent in the language and can get around the city with ease.

If you need help finding the top traders or you need someone to keep an eye on your goods before moving them to your location, feel free to reach out.

I'm open to meaningful connections and collaboration.

Good morning

It's explain better
There was a popular punter those days. That wrecked bookies with arbitrage betting then. But he is late now. Forgotten his name. But bookies don't allow it now and even then. It was like a loophole you exploit and quickly withdraw ur money b4 they detect

But i want to ask. Must one work with a law firm in order to make something in law career?
Drella:


Obviously not all lawyers will be poor.
Some will be lucky to work with a high paying firm. Some will be lucky to get high paying clients.

Demand outweighs supply, but the ones making it are making it.

Afolue:
yea, thanks. But lemme ask you were you a garri soaker when growing up.? One who wasn’t brought up under the abject poverty circumstances can never in any way settle for less. Na your standards give you moral. Candidly speaking, I am not speaking for myself as such but for the rest of the underprivileged Nigerians. Determination comes from the family where one came from. There are even many masters who are jobless, was it not determination that got them there.? What I am saying in essence is that, that mark in earning and above it, is for the well to do in the society. There are informations that will never go out of their circle. Even if one wants to learn a powerful skill that will earn good money, no be small money in funding oneself into it, the idea on how to go about it alone, if not mentored properly na to drop out forget am.

It is only God’s natural gift that can only raises someone from the status of grass to grace and na still by God’s grace. Majority are Bleep up already. Not even all who are abroad are thanking God in of value. If not for basic necessities being rest assured there..!

The rich can brag home and abroad.

Even the bank you talking about, na still connection. If by luck, how many of such kinds

Growing up, we sold food by the bus stop. That should tell you I wasn't too privileged growing up.

Very well I am an online tutor and proud to be anytime.
Teachers get level.

Hardware differs from Software.
Good job on the background check.
In all, you don't open yourself for learning and it would be difficult for you to see beyond the horizon.

As exemplified here: the highest paying industries are oil and gas, finance and tech.

Just as I penned a few years ago, quant/math based courses are the most lucrative both in Nigeria and across the world. If you want to earn a lot of money as a skilled career professional, please learn mathematics.

See my signature.

Pls, can you explain further on Mathematics.

What is FCMG?
GboyegaD:


Even bankers in our conventional banks make more than a million. Assistant Managers and above make more and they are many of them. FCMG too pay well.

Let me advice you, don't be bothered about what you hear or see around you. Just tell yourself what you want and that is where it starts.

About 19years ago as a final year student, I tell my friends I wasn't going to start with less than N120k. Immediately I graduated, even before my set went for service, I had switched jobs within two banks without knowing anyone. In my second interview, I told my I was interested in working for only 4.5years as my intention was to be a professor. And at that nick of time, I left to graduate school but chose to go back to industry after my PhD.

I am writing this to encourage you so that you can be assured that opportunities abound greatly.

Name the company that pays such. Nigerian owned company. Most of you guys on this site make claims you can't defend.

If you must know, most entry level jobs in Nigeria today range from between 150k-200k

To even earn 500k sef you'll have spent a considerable number of years and gained relevant experience.

Una go just de argue for nothing.

How many Nigerian owned companies have declared sustained profit in the last 3 years that they want to pay their staffs 1m and above?
keep deceiving yourself and working for peanuts. i can tell you here now that alots of company pay way more above that cheap change.
Me for example i cannot accept any salary right now in Nigeria that is below N1.5M per month. 10 years ago i was earning over N500K naira that is over $3000. now you i am even earning below what i used to earn 10years ago. most of my former colleagues have all gotten jobs abroad in qatar and some African coutries me i am looking for a way, now i am earning far less than i was earning 10 years ago. even though i pegg my minimum salary at N2M per month. Anyway i am in the oil and gas field.

Bookhub:
Hmmmm they are very few people earning such I doubt you will even see one here.
baba dont always think everyone earns peanut like you oo..

Nazgul:

No company in Nigeria can pay you such amount monthly unless your business is recording a tremendous amount of success or you're earning in USD.

That's the only way you can hit the 1m mark monthly.
Alot of people earn more than that, and it is not even a very big money self, what are you all saying.

Sorry for disturbing you. My last question. So the business is in two ways. Firstly, you supply from the north to people in the south and they pay you in return. Secondly, you buy from the north and carry it to your shop in the south and start selling to customers. Am i correct?
