My mama dey para say I dey press phone all day for Port Harcourt. 

Na wetin my mama dey tell me everyday for Port Harcourt.

For her mind, phone na for WhatsApp, TikTok and to dey waste data.

She no know say phone fit be shop. Phone fit be office. Phone fit be bank.

I no blame her. She never see money from phone before.

*The Day Wey Change Everything*

One evening, I dey for parlour, I dey write my article for Lodpost. Mama come, she look me, she shake head.

She say, "If you use this energy wey you dey use press phone go learn work, you for don blow."

I just smile. I no talk.

Inside my mind, I say, "Mama, just wait small."

That night, I post my article. I go sleep.

Next morning, I wake up, I open my Lodpost dashboard.

96 paid views. $0.607. ₦834.

Na small money, but na REAL money. Na money wey come from my phone, from my story, from my hand.

I run go meet mama for kitchen.

"Mama, look!"

I show her my phone. She wear her glasses, she look am well well.

"96 people read wetin you write? Dem pay you $0.607?"

I say, "Yes mama. Na just start."

She keep quiet for like 10 seconds. Then she say...

"So if 1,000 people read am, na how much?"

I tell her, "Na ₦8,688 mama."

She laugh. She say, "Oya, write another one now now! Make I share am for my WhatsApp group!"

Na that day my mama turn to my number 1 supporter.

*Wetin This Story Teach Me*

*1. People Go Laugh You Until Dem See Result*

Your mama, your friends, your neighbours - dem go think say you dey waste time. No vex. Na because dem never see proof. Show them small result, dem go change.

*2. Your Phone Na Your Office*

If you dey Port Harcourt, Warri, Lagos, anywhere for Nigeria, you no need shop to make money. Your phone na your shop. Lodpost na your office.

*3. Small Money Na Proof Say Big Money Dey Come*

₦834 na small. But e prove say the system dey work. If system dey work for ₦834, e go work for ₦86,880. Na just views we need.

*How I Dey Do Am*

I no dey do magic. Na simple thing:

I dey write true story. Story wey people fit relate to. Story about mama, about struggle, about hustle.

I dey post everyday. I no dey miss day.

I dey share am for WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok.

I no dey use VPN. I no dey cheat. I dey let real people read am.

Na why Lodpost dey pay me.

*My Message To You*

If your mama, your papa, your friends dey tell you say you dey waste time with phone, no give up.

Just show them one small result. Show them your first $0.607. Show them your first 96 views.

Na that small result go shut mouth of doubters.

Me, my target now na $5. To withdraw to Opay. I need just 700 more views. I know say I go reach am this week.

And when I reach am, na my mama go be first person I go show.
