Topic: Hardwork no longer incur success (Read 581 times)

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.

My own be say whether you work smart or you work hard, without dedication and discipline you can never attain success in whatever you are doing. Hard work pays and working smartly also pays. In our society today due to corruption, hardworking people are no longer encouraged. Corruption is taking over society in the name of working smart. Most youths are no longer willing to learn hand work all in the name of them working smart. And when dey see people wey dey work hard them go dey discourage them say this country no really need people wey dey work hard. My own be say stick to what's working for you as we all get different grace. Where e work for you no fit be the same place e go work for another person.

Hard work: working unnecessarily, work that isn't worth it. It can be illustrated using instances like reading the entire handout when you can read and focus on the important parts.

Smart work: working effectively in order to attain the best output or benefit. Focusing on the important parts instead of reading everything. No forget say you go still attend lectures, make you get ideas from lecturer, you go still read that handout everyday, do assignments, watch videos for better understanding and many others.

Now the thing be say, person fit think say people weh dey work smartly, just dey do short cut. Abeg, know the difference between smart work and shortcut because them no be the same thing. Even as you dey work smart, you go still work hard, you go still suffer. So no think say smart work na free way, cause e no be free way at all.

I don't know were you derived your theory, because from the beginning even in the primary school and secondary what you see teachers and lecturers lament for low students is that is not a hardworking type so for you to do well in school and also be one of the brilliant students you most be academically sound and again with your hardwork and how you are creative you will do well in anything you are doing, secondly for the way I see things for myself hardwork pays except that you're not serious in anything you do

But to me everything wey dey or go bring money requires hardwork...to creat contents oh.. office work,,, whatever it may be if you no dey consistent e no go pay..even to invest in bitcoins na still hardword  cause the more you invest the more money...

All dis things wey you talk now OP, I swear you no lie and na d facts be dat. As I be like dis now sef, I no dey really like work wey go make me dey comot for house early in d morning, bath, dress up, come follow road dey meet traffic and noise pollution everywhere wey I suppose dey rest or do some other things for house. Working from home na him be d best now, all d people wey dey mostly make am today na through internet and working from home.

I no really send government now because na stress. The only benefit wey you fit get there na pension after you retire, all d rest na so so sufferness and dem no go still pay you well. I no still mind getting one but I go prefer to dey work from home and invest some money on some physical business if e go dey profitable for me.

But this no mean say hard work no dey pay, hard work still pays. Their is no success without hard,  founders of some of this social media's they payed good price before they were able to achieve what they have today. Even the bitcoin we are enjoying today is not just by sitting down to create it but the founder spent time on good research,  it might that it took him some years before he was able to achieve this. Hard still pays , no one has ever been on his own just achieve something great without working hard to get something great.

I like this tori Wella.
For me, I think hardwork still pays, because no one can really do it better than someone who puts in the work to earn, paybills, raise a family and even look out for siblings and others with as much as financial assistance when called upon or at ones discretion.

To gain the experience and do the work according to what one has learnt is what's essential and it often requires hardwork and practice which leads to working smarter and more efficiency in the long run, making it look seemlessly easy.
Hardwork still incurs success, because it provides the right experience and discipline to work smarter which gives mastery and ensures success automatically.

  Omor everything don modernize o, life don dey easy for man, no more manual labor for some kain jobs because machines don fall in place. The same thing applies to normal daily works to earn a living, now one can actually work from his comfort zone and earn a living, just have digital, I.T and soft skill and you're good to go. Even the earnings as well has differences because manual jobs pay lesser than online jobs and the difference is seen even in the level of tediousness.
   Gone are the days were menial and manual jobs do pay but the evolving and tech work changed everything
Made life easy and even earnings too. The rate of earnings is more because online, more opportunities are opened and ways for exploits are paved but manually, man is just restricted too one routine daily and even cost him extra physical strength and discomfort. Hard work doesn't pay, working smart is the new deal now.

Yes I like wetting you talk because, this matter we been done discuss am on several occasions about hard work and smart work. People dey always misinterpret hardwork and smart work. See no matter how smart you dey you no fit Ride bicycle without energy. Let take for instance our oga brainboss wey dey manage signature campegn, the stress him dey pass through to arrange this stuff for spreadsheet and to pay all workers na smart be that one or na energy him dey use? Sleepless night on how to make sure you meet  up certain need.morover I think the definition of work is the activity that involves mental and physical energy to achieve success or result. The only difference is that you don't work in the sun.

I think wetting op supposed talk be say online work dis days get higher pay than most offline job.that one no mean say offline workers dey smart pass online workers.

The World we live today don really advance where gone are the days in relying on muscles to make money.
Technology has really brought the enhancement prioritically to ease stresses to man kind but many individual still seems adamant and awkwardly comfortable leaning to earn with the aids of muscular being (hard work). Though every must not chorusly wings to the state of smart jobs because not all technical amenities is ranged enough to play all the assorted hard job and so the world still need the hard workers.

The comparing of hard works and smart works are like comparing between skills and education.
Education could offer you flexible jobs while skills are offered you man-power jobs.
Job values is basically based on "strategies" such as critical creative field to allegiance attractions to creating more opportunities that is to bring increments and not of "smart or hard working". So these are both payable and potentialed to great success otherwise smart jobs is considered orderly on a long run of aging and retirement.

OP, you said it all, life in Nigeria is something else, just imagine in Nigeria our elected officer earns more than the teachers, but the truth is when you don't have the right connection there is nothing for you in this country no matter what you think that you are doing and how you are doing it,.unless you are a scammers even though you are a scammer, scammers also have cartel and if you are not among them, you will continue struggling, on the general note, as a citizen of this country that has potentials you need to have friends that think outside the box, you never can tell they can be helpful to your growth financially, the friends you keep tells much about your financial fortunes, chose your friends, I didn't say that you have to make friends because of what you will benefit from them if you must make it here it won't be by hard-work but by trying as much as possible to be with the right minds for you to be carried along.

Na back in the days during the era of our parents and grand parents, na him people dey place regard on hardwork, and dey see am as a yardstick for success but right things don change. No be how much you dey labour or hustle upandan naso your money go long, sometimes na one connection or information wey you get go push you to affluence.

Like this we don move from stone age to digital age. Computer, phone and internet connectivity dey play a key role for our smart hustling. People dey do legit smart hustling wey dey pay very well and if person no tell you, you no go know. Recently, I came across a video of one young guy wey no dey up to 24 years, him get forex academy and him dey do very well for himself. Based on the kind of flashy cars wey park everywhere for him compound I for dey reason whether him dey do something illegal. But when I come see say the guy don write book and TVC news don even Interview the guy, I come dey reason my life.

Well, to be sincere, if you ask me, I will say that hard work stopped being major catalyst or drive to financial success a long time ago, it didn't start now, so if you are just realizing this, then you realized it late.

For a very long time now, working smart, together with working hard, has been a major driver of financial success, i include working hard here because to me, smart work alone will not make a person financially successful, but working smart and being committed to it, which also equate to working hard, for hard work is not all about hard labor, one can be working smart and hard as well.

When it comes to smart work, I believe this must have been mentioned alot of times, but I will also mention it again that investing, learning skills that are mostly related to working online and internationally, is one of the ways of working smart.

I dey your back with this matter wey you just talk so, ah swear no be hard work be the way of making money for this our country oo, this days you go work hard wey you no go understand yourself and still nothing go show as someone that is looking good, for this life now you gast to play smart and look for the way to look for money, time wait for nobody this days, the more you wait the more your time waste, and as a man if you die without not making it in life my brother you be like a thing that did not have meaning in life, but also when we are about to find a way to make money we should also remember that we have to look it in a good way because sometimes we make some decisions that we can't handle at the end.

And also getting closer to people who are smart is also another way that lead us to a bad way because some of the friends that we are seeing they are smart, some are evils because some did not make money in a good way we think, investing in bitcoin is the best way to learn from our friends and also learning about some businesses and some things that will help us to make it in life, some friends who claim to be an investors are not, some are yahoo boy's and scammers, so my advice to everyone is when making a decision to find a way to make it in life is to clean he or her eyes well and know the kind of things you will do.

This your statement is true OP and I have noticed something in this our country, hard workers are those that work merely for daily survival and the rich don’t have to work that hard to earn so much, they work smart but still i will say hard work pays off also.

Finding smart ways is better but the problem some of us face is getting the right connection to these smart ways, nowadays everyone seem to be hiding their hustles and way of earning and just as it is said on the streets nobody wan share update with others again so people wey no gree get the right connect must look for another alternative to survive leaving them with no option than to go hard. Hard work joined together with our poor environment has been a serious challenge to our health but since there is jo other way and their is no job opportunity in the country we just have to take the risk. Hard work doesn’t guarantee success and riches but at least it earns some of us a living.

Good point, a social person wey sabi make friends have higher percentage of meeting people with smarter ways of earning money without much stress but the disadvantage of having plenty friends is the exposure to bad things and bad ways to earn money. When we are desperate, friends can easily influence us to make the wrong decisions and also influencing them into illegal ways of making money. I know quite a number of friends that have been influenced into yahoo yahoo and it’s also a smart way of earning as well.

This is very right not only in our country but globally.
Technology made things easy for us and result to making smart works more valuable than hard work that is why tech guys are earning money while staying at their comfort zone while people doing hard work will have to go out, expose themselves to sun just to put food in their table, and the smart people doing paper work or doing designs and coding get paid more than them.

Now we are having AIs that will soon take over all the hard works people are doing to get paid; and all these A Is are created by smart people not hard workers.

Although hard working can also be people working towards achieving their goals with smartness, and people using their physical strength to hustle for money.

You have listed them all, unless the person has skills that include computer programming, coding, and cyber security experience. These listed smart ways of making money are enough for serious and dedicated Nigerian youths to make them independent as well as free from inflation and devaluation of our currency since most of the works you mentioned were paid in foreign currencies.

@Jamestown70 na correct point wey you drop for here, because I no see reason why dem go say some persons dey work hard while some dey work smart, those wey dem say dey work hard if dem give dem the opportunity to take work smart e fit still hard dem, because brain work nor easy at all. Op to me oo I go prefer make them use the word, smart hard worker and ordinary hard worker, every smart worker na hard worker except you go dey specific before you fit use the word the wey you use am so, before dem go call person say em smart, no be only idea wey the person get but em go fit put the idea to play, like for example all those Igbo men wey dey do business one way or the other, na wattin we go come call them ? Na because of this kind of questions I for like make you specify, the kind of discussion dey very broad so we fit know how to categorize them.

No doubt say the time has come again when few rich people will be made and plenty I wish go dey gnash teeth everywhere, that is working smart and not hard.

That time don go wey bricklayer go pack plenty money go because him strong or dey muscular, all those ones no dey help. You either work smart or you remain in hunger

The power of a good network of smart working people can never be overemphasized, your network of likeminded people can bring you great opportunity as you will receive updates, connection and even work from a good network. A good referral can do a great good for you than a long time of working hard. If your network is strong, you have a better chance of succeeding in the modern world. Your mastermind group is also another gathering of great value whereby people who are mentally sound and resonate in the same frequency as yourself sit together occasionally or often and brainstorm on creative ideas that can lead to success. If you have these two sets of people mentioned here, work on maintaining good relationships with them and also do your own part. Be informed, read vastly and contribute to the wellbeing of others too and you are surely working smart.

Make I assume say when you de refer to working smart, you de refer to doing online jobs or self employed job while working hard in this your context de refer to those when de do physical jobs like the normal salary earners or those people when he exert serious energy for the works them de do.

The reality be say the world don evolve and the way we take de do things don also change and like some people put am here, no be who work pass de earn pass.

This de remind me of when we been de school and that time we been start new, we go de enter night class almost every night de stay awake till morning before going back to the house and by 8 in the morning we go enter morning class back. For our mind we de work very hard and we go de see people when no de come night class as lazy ones while in the real sense, those people don understand the school system and de fit go read from 5pm and before 9, them don go back there hostel go sleep comfortably and de fresh to prepare for the next day lecture and when result de even finally come out, most of their result de make sense pass our own.

For me, I feel say the concept of working smart rather than working hard is that while doing anything in general, you need to look at the best and most easy way you can do it in a modern way that will fetch you the same or even more than the cash you would have gotten by working your ass all out.

I think we have had a discussion similar to this although they aren't entirely the same because this is heading towards another direction but both threads are in relation to hardwork and smart work. The main thing wey make hardwork dun dey outdated na say e dey limit your earnings, hardwork wey be physical work go make am you no go fit dey make money from multiple sources and to survive for Nigeria you need multiple sources of income. Hardwork if you ask me na all dis 9-5 works wey be say e dey start by 9 and go end by 5 everyday without giving you the opportunity to do other things. E no matter whether you dey work for person or you dey do your own work, provided say na only hardwork wey you dey dey e go weigh you. Hardwork also include this labourer jobs dem. Even dem dangote get other soft hustle (smart work) wey dem dey do like investing in shares.

• Investing in Bitcoin (this one na the koko because na the surest wey now to dey do smart work (me I dey like call am soft work)
• Trading cryptocurency (this one no be only Bitcoin but all cryptocurency, if you learn am well you fit dey make better money but make sure you learn am well before doing)
• Investing in foreign currency (e.g buying and holding dollars for it to increase and you take profits).
• Forex trading (this one dey self explanatory as na wetin people sabi pass)
• Real estate investments
• Social media influencing (This is the recent Gold mine as you fit influence multiple things at the same time from the comfort of your bed, you fit do TikTok, Instagram, twitter, YouTube etc influential different products from music, movies, restaurant, bars, clubs, normal everyday products, and so on).

You're right, smartness requires hardwork before it can work as if you don't work hard your efforts may just be limited, you wont go extra miles to makes things work out well for you. Okay let's take for example now this forum that we are in do you think it's an easy task? Sometimes before you post here you will first of all go through other people topics and comment to see that you don't copy another person.

Do you think it's easy? What about campaign Jobs, you need good and quality post before your campaign manager can retain you in his campaign is it easy to make good and constructive posts here? So you will find out that most of us here go extra miles to do research about things before we unleash it to the public.

 Some of us spend hours to make constructive and informative topics before we post it so there is no easy road to success, every successful person works real hard, okay what about now other people are enjoying there sleep but we are awake looking for a way to meet up our targets here. Isn't that hardwork?

Hardwork pays o because even the smart ones are hardworking if not them no go see money pull online o it takes a lot of dedication and determination to by pass procrastination which na one major ogbonge problem way dey worry we youth for this obodo naija, talking about hard jobs not paying that much or incur success I will agree with you take for instance artisans are been paid peanuts while material price increase everyday but artisans pay will never add, imaging someone like this who is a hardworker been paid peanuts and he or she has about 4 to 5 kids, baba na wen the person go come they successful na do u really get point for here, and again true true wen u socialize with people your mindset go really change so man gats make use of him brain wen socializing  the best place to get and make friends na higher institutions

Op, I disagree with for this thing way you talk like this, because for the smart work, you need dey very hard working before you go fit dey comot money online dey put for your bank account, to make $1 online no easy. If you no dey hard-working you no fit achieve that thing way go dey give you money for the smart way. E get some smart work(online) way go require you to dey committed before you go fit to see money, but if you no dey hard working you no fit dey committed to dey get money for that online work. Before all these content creators dey see money for their work dey done dey very hard-working, patience, and they done dey work on their content for years you no go know because they never blow that time, they no just come out from nowhere come blow with content creation, they put their energy and time before you see them dey successful with am. No be everybody wey dey do the smart work dey see the money too and get some hand work wey go give mad money, you self no fit believe say na your hard work dey pull out this kind money such like Argon welding.

Op, no go tell people to invest in Bitcoin because if they use their money come invest in Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin come reduced, they go blame you. You fit help them buy Bitcoin when they use their leg come meet you to help them buy Bitcoin, at this point anything way happen to their Bitcoin investment no concern you again because no be you tell them to invest in Bitcoin.

For sure, I agree with you that smart workers make more money than hard workers. When you discover this, the first thing you have to look out for is, “Why is this thing happening?” The main reason why this is happening is because of the high number of people who engage in the work. For instance, let us take tailoring as a case study. The number of tailors in Nigeria now is so large that almost everyone knows not less than five different tailors around their location. You know, all of them can sew clothes, which means they are hardworking, but inside them there will be someone who will create a good fashion design that no one else inside the tailors can do unless they are taught, so from there that single tailor has made a smart move that he will get more money than others. The solution here is that whatever work you are doing, you should make sure you are creative so that you can be smarter than others doing the same work with you.


To me, life expectancy depends on your location of settlement, and I don’t think it contributes to your topic. Life expectancy means, in short, your access to those things that will make your life more safe and healthy, like an adequate water supply, a good road, adequate health care providers, the availability of light, and many others that can ensure adequate safety and standard in your life. So with this small definition, I can say that if you work smart, you can have money in rapid flow and have access to all these things.


Yes, keeping friends that are ready to look for more is a good option because any time you hang around, they will just be discussing where to invest so that their money can be multiplied, so if you stay around with them, you will have more experience and knowledge about making money. Also, I will suggest involving yourself in many online activities, like creating content and advertising content on various social media. All you need is to be creative, and you will get paid, so I will say creativity works with smartness, and that is what we need to succeed in Nigeria.

In common sense, I think hard work is more like working in an office that requires the employees to go to work at 7:30 a.m. (or 8am) and return home by 5 or 6 p.m., depending on where they are working, but smart work is more like those that work at home right on their phones or computers, and yet on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, they always have money that flows into their accounts, and most of the smart workers don't need less time, less energy, or less stress to perform their online jobs in order to get paid. I know of a freelancer and an affiliate marketer who make about $1k to $2k every month and some months more. The fact is that some people who are going from their homes to work every day and closing late are not earning even up to what some of these affiliate marketers are earning. Another example are most of these social media celebrities who make some funny and educational skits and get paid daily.

OP this thing you yan so na the koko be that and e dey for everywhere no be for Naija alone. Even for Yankee,  na smart work dey give better bread.

This one dey fear me no be small. Our grandpa them been live long and very strong before them kpai but today you go see young people them dey die anyhow even when them still dey change oil. I know say environment follow dey cause thus thing but you see thinking and stress ehh, their hand no dey pure for the matter. So smart work, wey go pay better money untop small effort, na the sure banker.

This one them na good options especially Bitcoin. I wan also add YouTube wey many Naija guys don dey use dey cashout big time. Na just to fine something wey make sense and run the video and money go boku brekete.

As you talk am nah so e be. No be who work pass now go later they successful. People they make better money everyday without stress and they no they even commot for house. Almost all the social media they oay . Facebook, Tiktok, Youtube, Bigo and so many they pay peole just to consistently they post content for their app. To make money no they hard again o, nah to just find your niche, wether nah mumu you wan they mumu online or nah dance, signing, body show off. Just get better followers boom you done they collect money. Another scenario nah say people now they use other people they make money. Weting them go just do nah to empower them with electricity, good home and internet make them dey do their thing they give am returns every month.

You will agree with me that in our present country, It is not the most hard working that is the richest but the most smart working. The hardest labor and jobs are no longer the highest paying jobs, people sit at home and make the total money for a year that just a hard worker and not a smart worker can make. Life expectancy for Nigerians dey short because of bad health care and poor environment, we nor need to add stress to am, make we for nor go die quick. While we dey try to make money, we gats focus majorly on finding smartways to make money, not just depending on harwork, Hardwork alone no longer incurs success.

Some examples of smart ways to make money are;
be social and make good friends who you can grow with. The information you have can determine if you will have money or not, try get friends wey una dey talk better things like how to make more money.
Do your research then invest in where others dey invest. People dey invest in bitcoins, invest in bitcoins.
