To gain financial freedom in Nigeria its either you have a job that pays in dollars or leave this country for good

Yesterday marked the very first day I visited the market for some shopping and ended up buying almost nothing bringing back home the money I took to buy things with.

It wasn't funny even though it was the festive period and we are used to these price hikes at these times, but what I meet was quite outrageous and I had to make a rethink and consider some of the things I called needs as no longer necessary.
Anything that has an alternative no longer needs to be bought and I keep telling myself about ways i will use to improvise for such.

Its no longer funny anymore that there is no price control system at all, and traders sell goods based on the amount they dim fit.

Thinking about how our naira keeps sinking in value is depressing and working tirelessly to save tones of it will never bring anybody out of poverty.

We have a government system that has plunged the country into so much dept and keeps borrowing more in the name of countries development but ends up as embezzling these funds into their personal pockets.

It will be a thing of shame if am been held on account of these debt in the future to payback money I had no idea of how it was borrowed or spent or give an account of this mismanagement by our government.

An escape route for any Nigerian is to have a job that pays in dollars o leave this country for good

A couple of my friends have online jobs where they can be writers and editors for companies or people in need of their skills, these jobs are done and delivered online and most of the payment made in dollars.

This way they can generate a huge chunk that can meet their needs after converting to naira.

You have to be ICT inclined to do these jobs including network marketing and all other online jobs.

Leaving the country

A thousand and one challenges comes with leaving the country, Visa processing and passport creation are so technical and can frustrate just anybody, these things aren't completed in short periods else everyone would have found an escape out of this Sh*t hole.

Outside the country, for an average educated person with a high school certificate all you can do is some menial jobs but even at that, these jobs pays you even higher than what your university degree will earn you Here. Been a house help will give you a life than been a banker here, many will opt for these opportunities if they were easy to come buy. ​

We would also have folks who will venture into two or multiple jobs to up their income in no time when the strength and zeal to work is available.

For all the time one lives and works in this country, you have to be financially disciplined, and have multiple source of income to avoid financial crisis or run into debt.
