You are definitely right on spot @asemota This reminds me of a time I just finished from NYSC, and sitting home, sending resume up and dan with no job forthcoming, so I thought within myself what can I do to earn an income. My brother had a desktop computer he built by himself,
so I went to a nearby private sch, introduced myself to the head teacher that I can help type exam questions, she said ok but she will give me a trial with photocopies of student homework every Fridays. The sch has a text book they detached & make copies for students to take up,
Remember I don't have a printer or copy machine, so she gave, I will take them to a nearby biz centre & make the copies asking for a discount each time, at the end of the day my profit will be #10 sometimes #15. I never bothered. That was around 2001/2 then. This continues
when the exam was fast approaching, I approached a class friend of mine who was lucky to get a job in one of the top telecom coy for a loan so as to get a printer and copier, to cut the long story short, he was able to give me #15k, not enough, I took the money to ijesha to
Ijesha where they sell copier, gave it as deposit pick a good one. So I will type, copy d questions on flash, take it to biz centre, print & bring them home to make copies 4 the students. The head teacher loved my work and on time delivery, she introduced me 2 the proprietress
Of the sch. She has a sec sch in surelere, they gave me the job. When the exams were approaching, for the 1st time in my life I received a Zenith bank cheq as deposit for my job, I quickly bought a printer & generator. That was how I became the 1st person to buy a generator in
My father's house. Other schools began to come, my father asked my siblings to help me out. I was busy all through that I turned down some jobs. Not afraid of starting small and dedication leads me to where am living with my family today. Naija youth need 2 learn to start small.
