A clarion call to Nigeria youths

A clarion call to Nigeria youths 

By, Comrade TN Tims

My dear fellow Nigerian Youth it is time we wake up and face the reality of the World. The world is tired of those who acquired degree and without productive results. Get your financial independent and forget about Politicians who only remembered your existence during election and social media defence. Keep your degrees aside and start a business. Nigerians Politician are not ready to sponsors your business plan but they are ready to give you N1 million during election to purchase votes, distracts election process in their favour. Politicians are ready to buy you expensive phones to defence them on social media but they are not ready to empowered you.

Keep your Degree in a safe custody for future opportunity, and engage in entrepreneur skills, otherwise you will die poor. Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching and running a new business, which is often described as Small Business. It is a "capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit at desirable limits. This concept of entrepreneurship is lacking among Nigerian Youth which is causing a lot of economic setback. Most of the Nigerian Youth asked me severely that they wanted to start business but they don't have capital, please go into trading or learn skills my answers to them.

Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor. Majority of the educated people particularly Youth are earning less than N55,000 for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around N50,000. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around N35,000. The landlord then demands for his N15,000 and monthly shopping takes away N10,000 leaving one with a N10,000. The bus will demand for N300 going to and from work and relatives get another N2,500. The whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts operating. The borrowed money includes short loans and salary advances.

The difference between poverty and prosperity is property. A prosperous person has property to his name while a poverty stricken person has no property to show. Using this understanding, therefore, most of the degree holders are poverty stricken, borrowing money to buy chicken and chips, pizza, and a car.

The biggest excuse for getting paid such low amounts of money and having to sit and work for another person for 30 days is THE DEGREE that one possesses and that’s all. This has made most of the degree holders very poor to poverty stricken and will die that way most likely. A degree holder does not know how to generate money unless that money is generated for the employer. A degree holder is so dependent on the salary that he can do anything to get a job but will not think of starting a business of his own to employ others.

Interesting Facts!

10. A Nigerian degree holder would rather sweep the streets of London or USA than start a business to make money in her father land – others work in people’s homes doing some work (cleaners).

11. A degree holder in Nigeria will watch porn on his laptop but never sit to write a book using the same laptop to sell and make money.

12. A degree holder will blame the government for lack of jobs creation even after he was on government bursary for him to have his degree.

13. Nigeria is blessed with young people who have master’s degree and others are doctors in different technical and professional fields such as Accounting, IT and Engineering but all of them have failed to create a cartoon character or develop a movie from the same instead very happy to buy Tom and Jerry for their children thereby promoting American and UK.

A school I visit, there is a man that is of very humble background. He does not speak English but sells Coke, Fanta and Sprite at N80 each making a profit of N10 on each drink. He also sells chips at N50 making a profit of N17 on each portion. Not less than 80 students buy chips and a drink every single day. This means he makes a profit of N27 for a drink and chips and a total profit of N2,160 per day…every single day. In ten days he makes a profit of N21,600 in twenty days N43,200 and in thirty days N64,800.

The degree holder working in a bank at the till gets a salary of N45,000 every month.

Why are the degree holders poor?

Because they have decided to pride themselves in a degree and failed to think better than a man who does not have even a certificate to his name. There is one youth in Langtang who is earning more than N200,000 monthly from his carpentry job. He doesn't attended any school but has skill. Please drop that degree aside and learn one skill to save you from financial slavery.

Degree holders spend their time liking articles on LinkedIn , Facebook and what'sup making unnecessary chartings but never have any care in the world to implement what they like. Poverty starts from the mind, a mind that just likes things but never to implement those things.

If you want to progress, keep that degree and start thinking better than someone without a degree. There's no white collar Job anywhere my brethren. The jobs are within your reaches, start there and stop being used a machinery of destruction by the politicians.

Be prepared to get your hands dirty and work like an ox for your business or farming activities. Your hard work will pay off and would free you from political slavery.

Think Success!! Think Entrepreneurship!!!👌👌Think of Being a Job Creator than a Job Seeker.

Building Financial Freedom for Nigerian Youth.

I love you all my dear fellow Nigerian Youth.
