This topic is inspired by the trending news about Apostle Johnson Suleiman a popular Nigerian pastor who said he made so much money during the pandemic that he was able to buy a new Jet and he even went to the point of saying, he wished the pandemic never ended.
However we all know that most businesses were affected, some people lost their jobs, many lost their means of livelihood, even those that didn't lose their jobs had their salaries cut by some percentage.
In fact so many people resorted to begging, as they couldn't feed their families and getting by daily became a problem.

No doubt some people made money, some cashed out well from their online businesses. But the percentage of people in this category was small compared to those whose finance was messed up.

For me, my offline means of income was intact, thanks to God.

So guys, how did the pandemic affect your finance.
How were you able to make money during this period.

The pandemic didn't really affected me then financially because I didn't even have money or neither was I even working to even make money because then I was just concentrating in learning my skill to really understand how to be a full and well qualified electrician .

The pandemic period Really help me in some instances because then is when I have the knowledge to work online. Probably if not because of the pandemic I wouldn't even have the opportunity to work online because I will be concentrating in my offline work.

It has really improve my finance ever since the pandemic came into existence and a lot of people were really making money seriously then because there were so many opportunities for them to make money and this opportunity includes mini importation , drop shipping and some other online business.

Importation of product was really among one of the most profitable business then since people didn't have the ability to buy most of their products offline and as a result of this they were all interested in getting their product offline which to them they consider it to be the most easiest and have them delivered to them at home .

Till this moment, the effect of the covid-19 pandemic is still felt. The pandemic has so many barriers on my finances. In fact, it was a disaster because where I was working was very unproductive and it was evident that most private workers do not have a job at all. Only government workers still had steady flow of their salaries but those who were working in private firms either had their salaries slashed or they were laid off completely.


My finances were very limited because school was not in session and even when the management organized an online class for students, the money paid to teachers was not even up to $5 at a month and after, there was no money coming in. We had to subscribe our devices yet at the end of it all, we had not even up to what we had invested. I had to look for other means during the time by selling of fruits in the evening close to the junction where I lived to help me feed. I am still in the process of recuperating after the excesses the pandemic had on my already limited finances. Budgeting during that climax period was very difficult because the prices of goods and services were triple the initial prices.
