Topic: It seems multitasking is the only way out of poverty - page 2. (Read 438 times)

You have just explained it all and there is nothing to add as I can see it's called multiple stream income which is mostly acceptable and that is what most people does. Especially those our brothers away they are being paid hourly and if they finished working at A restaurant they goes to B to work in other to survive. Multiple stream income are very essential and you must learn to cut down cost for yourself and your family to be able to survive there are some things you don't attached values any more if not you would get breakdown. So you select the most important things in the family to be able to survive with your children and wife.

No be same country we Dey advise to multitask ?
How come suddenly una don Dey condemn multitasking especially for this very country and regime and you even forget betting for the list you been give😁what I’m trying to say in essence is that, regardless of the stress, multitasking na one thing that can’t be overemphasized and sincerely I no sure say person fit survive with just one job for this country and even people wry get more than one source of income Dey complain.

WHO GOES US NOT TO MULTITASK

The current state of the Nigerian economy calls for several menial jobs. Right now, any family man or woman with only one source of income cannot cope with household expenses talk less of miscellaneous spendings... there is always a side hustle, even for the unmarried persons in the society today. some people are into upto seven money making ventures just to survive.

As it stands with increase in foodstuff,the rate of dollar to the nigerian currency,housing,transportation and many others, there is still little or no increase in the salaries of persons working in private companies, the government/public sectors are worse, no single increase at all.

So now people are earning less and spend more than they earn or more than they used to spend, leaving them with little or no savings for emergency situations, like health failure in the middle of the night.

Yes the human body might be deteriorating but wetin man go do🤷‍♀️? We all just need and have to survive whether we are comfortable or not with the work situation.

I have a whole lot more to say regarding this discussion especially in the aspect of our people who travel out to work and end up doing more than one job just to meet up.. but i'll leave it on the little i have contributed, that should be a topic for another day.

For me, multitasking is even a sign of poverty and not the other way around. It is when one job is not enough to pay your bills that you need to add more jobs to be able to meet up. This is not how I define a rich person... when you work and work with no time to rest and enjoy the money, that is a sign of poverty.

As a Nigeria, I understand the mindset of working hard when you have the strength but we should not make the mistake of thinking that working so hard that you have no time for any other thing is a guarantee to be rich. Working smartly is the sure way.

For men, I would like to say that multi tasking is but a farce and anyone who does it, should keep a note or make a note as a man in order not to forget the most important task to fulfil.
Women are known multitask better than men and it is true, unless we men learn to shift our attention it would be difficult to multitask and still expect a perfect result .
Multitasking requires all the full functions of the brain and a man who can concentrate and complete said task, will always have more than those who take it one step at a time.

100% correct, a teacher and an engineer is nothing far from suicide attempt, what do you think after standind and talking for many hours then you go to other places to work as an engineer. I have seen people who multitask themselves unnecessarily, they died before their time.

The best way to multitask your self is to find jobs that fit your other job , you should have a major job while others will act as side hustle. That will help you to be focus not running from one work to the other in the name of hustling for money. Health is wealth

The way things are in Nigeria, sometime multitasking go even add more problem to your life because man body no be firewood, just like the way OP talk say, person na teacher, engineer, bolt driver at the same time. Bros no vex which strength that person won use run all these jobs wey he no go choke am. Life na planning and no be by how many work you dey do but na how you use your head arrange your life na him go help you over poverty for the nation. If person get government work or any work wey dey pay am from 100k above, him fit save from there start up business. The problem be say we no know the kind of business wey you go do, wey go progress, this na another problem.
Look around your area make you find the commodity wey people dey buy well and wey no too dey the area, from there, you set save plan how to start to sell that commodity or better still only sell essential commodities wey you know say people no go fit do without, so that at least everyday you must sell something. As the price of things dey high, you too go dey increase your own price base on how much you buy, with this you dey sure say you go get gain. Another one na, If you invest in bitcoin with small small money every month when you get you pay. As long as you get wetin dey give you money to dey chop and to take care of other responsibilities, you no go put your mind towards selling your bitcoin investment and gradually, your investment go dey grow. Our problem be say we dey go spend money sometimes for things wey no dey necessary or important to us, all those uneccessary spending too dey follow worry person financial life.

Make we no dey think say outside na heaven because even for that side you go need do multiple jobs if you wan get a better life, abi you never hear people dey do multiple jobs as shifts just to get enough to survive, make we no dey think say e easy for anywhy. E get good paying job for Nigeria here wey dey pay well and you no need multiple sources of income to survive but just that the jobs dem no plenty and we dey overpopulated for this side for job to do us. I wan correct something, if you want to get out of poverty, no be plenty jobs go solve your problem but investment will, because investing the bare minimum can help you elevate your financial situation but person wey dey do multiple jobs fit still dey inside poverty as all the money him dey make is going to sort a bill or wasting them on liability.


Multitasking isn't bad, it's a type of hustle that when you do it very well you can generate enough capital to be used for you to start a business or investments to help better your standards of living and takes you out of poverty through your investments. Dem dey multi task for everywhere but as you dey do am, no go over do your own. Know your limit and stop at a point because there's no point in making the money and you won't enjoy it. Always look after your health and don't do jobs that'll stress you out. You can have a salary jobs and do some bot hustle on the side and when you get home do some trading or working online. When you multi task like dat e no go too weigh you but if you wan do all as manual work, you'll be stress out.

In as much as we are looking for multiple sources of income we should also know the type that will not affect our mental health. For example working as and engineer and a teacher. It does not taly. But more over my suggestion is that it must not necessarily be up to 5 jobs. You might just focus on two and give it a quality.

Yeah actually when you domiciled in an environment that lack opportunities for people to get employed, the only way is to find every means possible to acquire as many skills as you can, so that at least you will have an edge to fit in anywhere but perhaps is better having one or two skills which you truly no and can defend it if being interviewed than having numerous skills but master of non which is a total waste, so in as much as we should be good in multitasking we should also consider knowing those things very well.

When we look at the state of our country's economy, it's obvious that relying on one particular source of income cannot really be enough to pay your bills, especially when you have a family. In most countries when you have a good skill, or a stable job can take good care of you even if you have a family. The only thing you need to work more for is promotion. However, it is different here.

I have observed that most persons have more than 5 different jobs. If one job doesn't pay this week then the other will. That is what is in their mind. For instance, a man will be working as an engineer in a company, still a government teacher, also have a shop for small business and also a bolt driver. All these things just to survive. I don't like the fact that maintaining a standard of living has to be very challenging like this. If there is a way that working salary would be increased, tit would at least reduce the need for multitasking because all these things are part of those things that gradually affects our health and reduce life spam.

Perhaps you would know other method that can help reduce multitasking
