The time of hard work done pass now nah time of wisdom (that thing way them dey call Sense).
Sha e still get people way dey hard working inside this country, like we all know about some of our local marketers way their jobs nah as them sell nah so then salaries too dey increase.
Although, hard work dey pay sha but e no dey like before, now way our naira no get value con make things worst more, so even if say person do daily job and recive 5k at the end of the day only transport to go em house go finish the money, come talkless of say em recive em pay for transfer, nai be say POS too get em own share inside the 5k. So watin I dey try talk be say, this country, watin make things worst like this nah just because say our money no get value again.

Another point is to keep your circle. In your making friends and being social keep your circle real small. And make sure that they are loyal. People who will share correct update with you and not hoard information because they want to be the gatekeeper.

Be the first to invest because we are living in a face paced world. Lastly, find a need and fulfill it.

Some hardwork still do but you have to be smart and sometimes when you’re just lucky, you can find those type of work that pays you so much for the efforts and hardwork you put into achieving that. If you’ve found that, another major issue is the economy of the country which will make you feel as if you haven’t done enough to gather lots of money and cater for your needs always. Dis is just another point that makes us feel that hardwork doesn’t pay enough like before. With this type of economy, looking for multiple source of income to intervene for our daily needs is the best, so that we don’t end up blaming and under appreciating ourselves for the efforts we have putting into making us a better person today.


Life today don dey beyond going to work from 8-6PM. We are the new generation that are familiar with technology and we don see how far we fit dey explore dis technology into our advantage of making money. Those wey dey do the government work, most of dem no get choice that’s why dem dey there and most of dem no still get the required tech knowledge to diversify their means of earning also through tech while working from home. Today, as we don see wey life dey lead us too, we no go make mistake of letting our children not to become technologically literate at young age because na him be d koko now and e dey pay pass government works. Dat your person wey you know wey dey earn that much in a month no go even wan reason government work unless dem go pay am pass wetin him dey get for here. Online work now don supersede government work and na him be the best to dwell into now.

Hard work no b d only tin way go guarantee ur success oo many Nigerians without doubt de work very hard but Dem sti de struggle to meet Dem needs.life no de fair so for you to take strive well 4 we country you gat de smart na only smart pipo de make am well bcos even truck pusher work pass dangote for physical strength.

For this our country, na who you know and who know you be the koko, just get the right connection and your matter don dey settled. Try dey social because to be island no go do you any better, you no know who you go meet.This one no mean Say make person just sit for house dey wait for destiny helper, You too, reason outside the box and help yourself.

People now dey make money through unusual but legal means. Few years back, plenty people no too fancy content creating but today, many people dey cash out through social media just from the comfort of their homes. The world don change, e no dey like before wey person dey overwork himself from morning till night just to receive chicken change as salary,  the people don wise now. Create your own content and cash out with it.

More than just hardwork, is the essence of the godfactor, luck.
Working hard may not be working smart, but with the ease in the application of A.i and bots, what one may be required to equip themselves with is the right knowledge and tech know how.

But there are hard working people in our country and they are doing well in their business which am one of them in my society and, I stand as a wealthy woman in my village base on some I have invested my money in different farms corps that is bringing money into my account. Well, it is good to be smart but smart without hard working will lead you to half way, where you will be counted among the people that have money before but he or she don't have again because such person was only smart not hard working with his or her smart.
Invest your money in potential coins like BTC, Ethereum, Solana, polygon that will add value to your profits when their price rise higher in the market to make a good profits. Don't miss any bear market which is the best way to have a good plan that will improve your profits when that particular coins price rise higher.

We all have different lifes and different destiny their are people who must work hard before they make it their are a lot of stories like that, and also people that need just small amount of energy just to become successful. And everyone has the pen of their story in their hands so make use of any opportunity you have you might just get lucky one day.

When you study the life of most of the successful people, you see that either one of them are trying to solve a problem and that is what social entrepreneurs do, this days if you want to be successful then become a social entrepreneur.
And the example given about the two individuals is what happened to the bankruptcy of Nokia they refused to upgrade and at the end of the day they are no longer doing well in the market so in any  enterprise you have to go with the trend ways to make your business the best.
And always do better.

There's hardwork and there is Smart work, they are two different words with different meanings, one gives you more result and comes with less stress whereas the other is more demanding physically and emotionally and most times leaves you exhausted so it's left for the individual to choose between these two, for me I would rather work smart because it's less stressful and it involves more of your mind besides I don't think people should waste much time doing a work in such time when science and technology has made it possible for work to be easily done through machines and other innovations.

For you to make it in this country we are in ,you do not have to work hard but smart.if you take a close look you will agree with me that the people who work very hard are still poor till today ,while the people who apply wisdom in what they do are becoming richer by the day.even the Bible says”wisdom is profitable to direct”when you’re a problem solver you become more valued .take for instance two people have supermarket that they are both managing,one is using a bar code rider in his shop and also a scanner to scan a product that a customer purchased.and in the other hand the other persons has non of this things ,he still using the old  method to calculate the price of goods or items purchased by a customer,and maybe there are about 20 more persons in the cure waiting to be attended to .and the person in charge is wasting so much time with one customer.what do you think would happen.next time you won’t see those customers again because they would prefer to go to where they will attend to them faster.and the person they’re running to will make more money.while the other person will keep suffering for lack of knowing.

Now you see the both persons are working hard but the other person applied wisdom to what his is doing .he worked smart instead of working had .therefore working smart pays more than working hard.

Op I will not disagree with you because everyone has their own way of seen hard work and smart work. Now if I will break down hard work and smart work. Hard work is not necessarily that you work in government office from morning till evening or private firms. But also imply to the necessary labour. And necessary labour is the most important thing in which everyone must do to survive. Both the poor and the rich must engaged in a necessary labour. Op can you provide hard works which you know and smart work you know.

From the way I thought about your smart work is like fraudulent activities.

One of the smart and unconventional ways to make money that I have seen work many times in my present location is this -
If you are a church person, find one of those new generational churches wey they care more about how you dress, speak, and smell. Join one of their church departments and be committed. Usually, these are the type of churches where "big men" and "big women" go. From there on, you may even easily get in contact with these top dawgs. If you have a proposal, you could shoot tell them and or they may even pick you to handle a contract for them. Also if you now have a skill that they need - graphics designing, event planning, photography and videography they will connect you to their friends and boom you'll start making money.

   Gone are the days when hardwork pays, right now whoever works hard is doing himself because if after all the whole 8-5 work, yet still nothing tangible, it's just a waste of effort. Another person can be in the comfort of his home, still work in that time frame and make a good living out of it. The world has changed so you really don't have to go through the stress of hard labor, but sadly even with the change, someone or rather some people still just have to pass through that stress. But the fact still remains that, a stay at home job is one that even pays far more than a physically present job. You just get the necessary directions and take the right track and secure a more comfortable and paying job.
  The world has evolved to working smart, hard work is good, but most employer go for the smart workers because they find a way to make the work seem easy.

You have a point. I sensed that the OP is filled with rage probably seeing that some people who were known for their hardwork do not have the results expected of them. This is understandable but not a good way to generalise that hardwork no longer pay because it still does.

I know it's a problem with English but in reality,  we know hardwork is key to success in addition to grace. There is nothing that will take the place of hardwork, even in this forum, it takes hardwork to survive here because the workload,  things to read and study are just too many. No lazy person can grow in a forum like this, so who says hardwork does not lead to success? Abi hardwork na to only carry block?

Yes I agree that those who work from home make more money than does who work 5-9. But still let's look at this, those who work from home do more hours. For example one who does moderation jobs works 12-14 hours a day most times with a different time zone  and of course the pay per week is 3 months salary of an office worker. More work hours more pay from the comfort of your apartment so truly smart work pays.

In as much as the last part of your thread is accurate, I will disagree with you on the first line that hard work doesn't pay, for you to work smart needs consistency which is a product of working hard. Whether you work online or offline, for you to make it boils down to working hard.

This one na confirm true talk people wey dey do hard work no dey earn better pay for Naija for instance check factory workers, sales boys or girls, even teachers self na normal salary wey no reach anywhere but go see how smart naija guys wey dey into crypto whether as a trader or merchant for Binance, others wey dey into programming especially Blockchain developers, web3 developers etc those guys dey cash out millions of naira monthly, go to twitter and see smart guys wey dey into forex trading and trading with Prop firm see their huge USDT withdrawal in every two weeks this one's sure cash out without any stress na just the knowledge and skills is required all those monies are earned in comfort of their homes.

I total agree with you with your explanation but I think op is referring to hard labour not hardworking, for someone to be successful they must work hard for it, take for instance for anyone to be non in the forum for adding positive value it requires hardworking talk less of making money, if am to define must hardest thing to get in life, I will say money, there is not shortcut in making money, the smart way dey are even saying, I don't think there is not any smart way in making money, the social media marketing, advertisement, freelance, etc that dey think dey make a lot of money in one place, have dey thought of asking them how easy it's or do dey think that any person that is into it will make it, not everyone that started earn through it.

Now for the hardworking or hard labour e they pay well well because so many people  I have witnessed and it really pay them, first for everything we do, we require patient, sincerity, honesty, and with all this it can be good, it not necessary dat the bricks layer, labourer, carpenter, plumber, wheel birrow pusher etc we do that will make us rich but this can lead to that success but with patients, honesty, sincerity etc. I have ever witnessed wheel birrow push be came a millionaire.

You are right because na person wey get money fit invest in bitcoin, this our country full with persons with big big ambition, if dey dey hear you now dey will go do anything possible to get the money to come invest and no be so.

Hard workers nah the people wey dey dey employ as labourers. Nah them they under the last chain for any industry. No one wey no they pay, whether hardwork and smart work but the different be say the hard workers nah the one wey they receive less and nah them dey work for the  smart workers.

These days if you wan really they successful for life nah to find how u go use get people wey go work for you. Time is money so if you have something like a business or industry that you can employ people to work for you e go they better o. This nah because if 24 hrs work go fit give you 10k a day then imagine you get 56 hrs nah 30k. And e go only they possible if you employ two extra persons. E just they simple more hands involved more profit.

My bro hardwork no too dey pay again for this country because technology done make everything easier for people to succeed and get knowledge about different things, no be thing you go outside before you get money even you dey house you go dey generate your money for your room that why many people are not depending on government work again, because without connection you no go get work let me say at of 100% na 30% government employed the 70% na connection.

Make person start they invest if he done start dey get small small money, make him start dey invest for bitcoin if he done learn about it or any business that will help you generate income because for our naija now na online they pay the youth mostly now because the technology done change everything he no dey like before if you no go hustle you won't get something to eat or feed family with Internet you go generate millions in just a day,  even person where dey do government work i think that million go be is 3 to 5 months salary.
