You could have given your opinion without sounding foolish. Even if everyone cannot be an enterprenuer, atleast one should be able to invest his or her hard earned salary or have a retirement plan. As one is getting aged, he or she would not have the strength to keep working to earn money. Ok what happens if you get fired or layed off from work? What will you fall back on? If you want to get rich from the salary you earn, you will keep on being used or probably get dumped or even keep working till you die. It hurts but that's the truth. However, i didn't say one should get rich quickly as you have insinuated. The road to the top is from the ground. One must begin from somewhere but that doesn't mean you should end there.

I think they fall into the catergories of enterprenuers and investors. Politicians invest their money or their loots otherwise they would go broke. They know that they won't remain in power forever, so, they take advantage of every opportunity they have to maintain their wealth.

The way people and motivational speakers talk about this I laugh always.
Herbert wigwe is a salary earner till death came, Alex otti was a salary earner, Elumelu was a salary earner yet they said salary earners can not be billionaires.
If all Staff of Adenuga resign today, he will be a poor man.
The earlier we understand that life is a manufacturing process and every one has his or her role the better for us and this get rich quick at all costs will stop.

What you fail to understand is that, owning houses is an investment. Owning houses it's not just an investment, it's a life time investment. You can decide to give out some of your houses for rent. So, they aren't poor, they are rich except they fail to utilize what they have.

This is the type of topic that makes some people invest in crime.

You're saying enterpreneur but forget to mention the level of private business.

For you to start up standard business, the capital have to be there.

Employee depends on the sector they're employed. Politicians are still salary earners grin

People working in Shell, NNPC, TCN e.t.c are doing well. These companies will help you to raise the capital and start personal standard business

Don't allow anyone deceive you. Here is not developed nation. The only business that can boost your income if you're not politician are illegal/scam business.

You can't be among richest men without scam and politics in Nigeria.

Entrepreneurs (are also investors)
Politicians
Athletes/Sportsmen
Music Artists
Some employees (you can become rich via some employment)


Bank MDs/CEOs are employees

Medical Doctors in USA that earn around $450,000 annual are employees

Specialist Nurses like Anaesthetic nurses in USA that earn around $400,000 a year are employees.

MDs of some IOCs and FCMGs that earn fat salaries and profit share of the company annual profit are also employees.

MDs and top staffs of some intl NGOs that earn lots of salaries and outrageous allowances/bonuses are also employees.

Procurement managers and Directors of big organizations that make lots of money on daily and weekly basis are also employees.


Pilots and ship captains that earn huge salaries and allowances are also employees.


Employee get level. You can become rich through some employment and even raise enough startup capital to venture into your business and become an entrepreneur/business owner over time.

Yes, the stats are correct, but self-employment is the most difficult stuff to do, especially in Nigeria. The truth is that everyone cannot be rich; just be contented.

Almost if not all entrepreneurs, investors etc on your list has once worked for someone...
Your can manage or grow an empire if you have never contributed to the successful growth of one.

The aim in life is not to stay employees but to move ahead and become entrepreneurs.

If you check the entrepreneurs that do well are the ones that has worked for someone in same line of business or similar...they have picked up all the tricks to grow.
