Content creator Nons Miraj, well-known for her popular work, recently discussed her path to financial success.
She disclosed how she achieved her first million without relying on anyone for help.
During a recent podcast appearance, the actress and comedian opened up about her early struggles before finding success in the entertainment industry.
Nons Miraj started her career in Nollywood but found the financial rewards to be disappointing.
“It was rubbish money; unlike a salary job where you make 70K monthly, they pay you 90K after shooting for three months. It was not worth it,” she said.
Seeking a better income, Nons Miraj ventured into buying and reselling perfumes and jewelry. “I would go to Balogun market, buy perfumes and jewelry for N3K and sell them at N50K. I divided the profit into two: one for my piggy bank and the other to fund my life,” she said.
Although she acknowledged attracting attention from men during that period, she was clear that none were financial sponsors.
“Men were coming but not the type you think will sponsor your life. I was in a relationship but not in the sugar daddy vibe,” she added.
Her big break came when she fully embraced content creation. With her growing presence on social media, her income from acting also increased. “I was saving with my mum, I had my own savings, my salon was there, and acting started paying N300K after social media presence,” she said.
The transformation of her brand into “Ada Jesus” marked a turning point. It brought endorsement deals and helped her earn her first $20,000, especially after venturing into her YouTube series, Love Show.
“I didn’t wait for a man to give me; my pride grew when I started making more money. There’s nothing I couldn’t give myself,” she proudly concluded.
Nons Miraj’s journey is a reflection of her determination, hard work, and independence in an industry where many believe that female success is dependent on wealthy male sponsors.
