I remember when I jokingly tweeted that I would be charging 50k for every consultation and many people laughed it off. It was in 2021. Later, in 2022, I increased it to 100k because I visited one hospital in Lekki and I was required to pay for consultation and registration before I could even have an audience with a doctor. Later on, it changed to 200k and then 250k. Many people laughed it off openly but in the DM and offline, except for those I considered for pro bono, or a discount, anything less than 250k, it’s no show. Last year alone, from X, and I am sure I posted about it, I made a little over 5m just from consultation. Not to talk of people who reached out based on referrals or checking through my firm’s website. Then when I completed my masters degree in Unilag, I did promise that I would increase it to 500k in April this year, which I have done accordingly. Again, except for deserving pro bono or discounted fees, anything less than that, it’s no show. Why am I posting this? It’s for every young professional to learn to place value on their opinions when sought in that capacity. It doesn’t matter the number of people who laugh it off or make mockery of it. Some might think or tell you it’s too outrageous, but there are people who wouldn’t mind paying whatever amount, provided they will get value for their money. For people to get value for their money, make sure that you are not only knowledgeable, you are also engaged in continuous learning, capacity building and research. Then you can place a value on your opinions, add tax to it and watch how the world will adjust. He who dines with fishermen and palm-wine tappers cannot complain of lack of patronage by gold miners.

@AdebimpeAyodeji I disagree.

@ooyeboade Flowers aren't what you buy at the registry. It is like saying someone should be selling wedding gowns at IR Because one or two people forgot theirs doesn't mean it would be a thriving business. Moreso, anyone who didn't bring a flower surely would care less at that point.

I was at Ikoyi registry yesterday for my sister's wedding and I was shocked that no one was selling fresh flowers bouquets. More that 100 couples got married yesterday yet no fresh flowers in sight. Someone hasn't seen that buisness opportunity?

More of permissionless than effortless.

Netflix exited the Warner Bros deal and still made $2.8B. That’s called a breakup fee and it's paid when a deal falls through. The best deal is the one you don't do.

Piggyvest report covers only these states. Lagos and Abuja did not make the cut. Use the report with caution.

@VeryPrecious1_ I think in a place like Ikoyi registry, there's demand, someone just needs to see it.

@ooyeboade Giving flowers is not an integral part of our culture.

PiggyVest’s latest report is useful, but it should be used with caution. It confirms what many of us already know about Nigerians' earning power and spending pattern however, it has some first order distortions. The exclusion of Lagos and Abuja among the surveyed states

fintech product design, or the middle-income Nigerian, the report has real blind spots. Be careful!

distortion when national average income is being discussed. Saying the surveyed states were randomly selected does not fully address this concern. Use the report to understand black tax burden, GenZ vulnerability, emergency fund gaps. If your context is urban consumer finance,
