Earning money in my country Nigeria can be both hard and easy because it depends on who you are, who you know, where you live, and what you do. The truth is, most people in Nigeria find it quite challenging to make a living because of the country’s economic situation. Prices of goods keep rising, but salaries often stay the same. Many people work hard every day,some do 8-9 hrs job everyday, jump buses, stay in traffic for long hours especially in Lagos just to get to work and end up getting home by 10pm yet the money they earn can barely cover their basic needs. Still, some Nigerians just do 4-5hrs jobs without stress and still make good money because they know who know who,while others manage to make good money by being creative, smart, and persistent.
For many, the struggle starts with finding a job. There are a lot of graduates in Nigeria, but not enough jobs for everyone. Even those who studied hard in school and come out with good results may end up doing small businesses or hustles just to survive because the jobs available are already taken by who knows who.
Some work as online freelancers, others sell clothes, food, or hair products. Street vending and transportation jobs are also common ways people try to earn a living. It’s not always easy, but Nigerians are known for their resilience,they keep pushing, they keep going no matter how tough things get.
Now technology has also opened new doors. Many young Nigerians now make money online through content creation, affiliate marketing, or remote jobs. Social media has become a platform for business. You can see people selling fashion items or food on Instagram or running YouTube channels that pay them over time. Still, not everyone has access to stable internet or electricity, so that makes things harder for many others.
Corruption and poor governance also make earning money difficult. Sometimes, opportunities go to people who have “connections,” not those who truly deserve them. Small business owners struggle with high taxes, unstable power supply, and inflation. But despite all these problems, Nigerians have a strong survival spirit. People are constantly finding new ways to earn,even if it means starting with little or nothing.
So, earning money in Nigeria isn’t impossible, but it’s rarely easy. It takes creativity, hard work, and patience. Those who succeed often have to fight through many challenges. But one thing is sure,Nigerians never stop trying. No matter how hard things get, there’s always a way to make something work if you’re determined and willing to put in the effort because they believe man must survive 👌
So yes making money is easy to some and hard to others in my country Nigeria.
