RHOLagos cast member Chioma Goodhair has revealed how she made her first million as she shares a shocking secret to her financial success.
Chioma disclosed on a recent Big Friday Show episode, presented by Tacha, that she made her first million Naira from throwing parties when she was a student.
She claimed that her entrepreneurial spirit was first kindled when she was at the University of Birmingham, where she was well-known for her friendly and outgoing demeanor.
She gave an example of how she used her fame to host parties on campus and persuade hundreds of students, mostly women, to purchase tickets.
“My first million naira was probably from throwing events in uni. I went to the University of Birmingham and I didn’t even plan to but I was so popular then and I knew a lot of people and I was very friendly. I’m still a friendly person; I don’t look it but I am. I’m also a girls' girl, and I’m very good at convincing people to do stuff.”
“So back then some guys used to organize parties and one guy would be like, ‘Come and sell tickets to your friends,’ and I’d bring like 100 or 200 girls. So the next year he was like why don’t we come together to throw these parties because you’re really good at selling tickets?”
“So we organized this party and we made so much money and when I convert it, it would have been over a million naira…It was like six thousand pounds…”
“Oh wow, so back then it would have been like eight or nine million ,” Tacha asked.
“Yes,” Chioma replied.
