Nobody wants to say it, but I will.
You cannot save your way to wealth in a currency that dies every year.
It doesn’t matter how disciplined you are…
If all your income is in naira, the system is already set up to swallow your progress.
Let’s talk facts.
1. The Naira Is Not Broken — It’s Designed to Bleed
Since 1999, the naira has been in a permanent fight with the dollar.
And guess what? It keeps losing.
₦1,000 used to be real money.
Now, it can’t even fuel your keke halfway.
Every month, your savings become smaller.
Not because you’re spending more — but because the value is dying.
2. Global Skills Deserve Global Currency
If you’re learning:
- Copywriting
- Design – You can start here
- Video editing – start here
- Voiceovers
- Digital marketing
- Affiliate sales – start here
…and still collecting pay in naira?
You’re doing premium disservice to your skill.
These are global skills.
Charge in global currency.
Earn in dollars. Even if you spend in naira.
3. The Internet Doesn’t Have Borders. Your Bank Account Shouldn’t Either.
Why limit yourself to Nigerian clients?
There are platforms where people:
- Pay you in dollars
- Buy from you without asking for your degree
- Value your results, not your location
Learn how to:
- Use platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, Stakecut
- Build a personal brand on Twitter or LinkedIn
- Use Payoneer or Grey to receive international payments
The road is open. But you must walk it.
4. One Dollar is Now Over ₦1,600. Use That in Your Favour.
This isn’t a curse. It’s an opportunity.
Imagine:
- $200 = ₦320,000+
- $1,000 = ₦1.6 million+
You don’t need a hundred clients.
You just need to be sharp.
Sell once. Get paid. Flip it with sense.
