This isn’t a shade in any way to Damilola Daniel Nejo. I admire the young man’s strength but in actual fact, this post is to help you get a life that you will love and admire. If you are like me who has always wanted to work for herself (I should have done a year or two working though), you want to earn a living, make an impact in the world, take care of your family, then keep reading. This post isn’t a get rich quick post. If that’s what you are looking for, swerve! 
There are youths out there still wasting time looking for jobs. What beats me is how they seat for years at home DOING NOTHING! That’s dangerous to you, your family, your pocket, your lifestyle and your future! It is a total NO NO. These jobs listed here can earn you from N30,000 and above every month. The downside is that you have to always invest in improving your skill which to me is a super upside.
