About Daily Reality NG
Nigeria's Most Trusted Online Community for Money, Business, and Real Life Since 2016
🎯 Who We Are
Daily Reality NG is Nigeria's leading independent online publication dedicated to empowering everyday Nigerians with practical, actionable advice on money, business, personal growth, and real-life challenges.
Founded in 2016 by Samson Ese, a Nigerian entrepreneur and digital content creator, we've grown from a small personal blog into a trusted community serving over 800,000 monthly readers across Africa.
We're not a faceless corporation. We're real Nigerians who understand the daily struggles of navigating NEPA frustrations, Lagos traffic, rising prices, and the constant hustle to build something better.
🚀 Our Mission
To empower everyday Nigerians with practical knowledge, honest advice, and real solutions that actually work in Nigerian reality — not foreign fantasies.
We exist because we were tired of seeing generic advice that doesn't apply to Nigerian life. Tired of "motivational" content that ignores our daily realities. Tired of blogs that talk about American success stories while Nigerians are dealing with fuel queues and power cuts.
Our mission is simple but powerful:
- Provide Practical Solutions: Every article must help readers solve a real problem or improve their lives in measurable ways
- Respect Nigerian Reality: We write for people navigating Lagos traffic, dealing with NEPA, and hustling to make ends meet
- Build a Supportive Community: Create a safe space where Nigerians can learn, share experiences, and grow together
- Champion Financial Literacy: Help everyday Nigerians understand money, build wealth, and create opportunities
- Tell Honest Stories: No fluff. No fake success stories. Just real experiences from real Nigerians
📖 Our Story
Daily Reality NG started in 2016, not in a fancy office, but in a one-room apartment in Lagos where I (Samson Ese) was trying to figure out how to make money online without getting scammed.
I'd just graduated from the University of Lagos with big dreams but a small bank account. Like many Nigerian graduates, I was facing the harsh reality: limited job opportunities, family expectations, and bills that didn't care about my degree.
I started blogging as a way to document what I was learning about making money online, digital marketing, and building businesses in Nigeria. The first article got 12 views — 10 of them were probably me refreshing the page.
But something changed when I started writing honest, practical content specifically for Nigerians. I stopped copying American advice and started sharing what actually worked in Lagos. I wrote about navigating fuel queues, dealing with NEPA, and finding ways to earn dollars from Nigeria.
People started reading. Then sharing. Then sending me messages: "This actually worked!" "You helped me make my first ₦50,000 online!" "I finally understand how to start."
2016: Started as a personal blog with 12 monthly readers
2018: Reached 10,000 monthly readers, helped first 100 people start online businesses
2020: Expanded to 100,000+ monthly readers, launched newsletter and WhatsApp community
2023: Hit 500,000 monthly readers, helped over 4,000 Nigerians start making money online
2025: Serving 800,000+ monthly readers across Africa, 226 published articles, and still growing
Today, Daily Reality NG isn't just my blog anymore. It's a community. A movement. A trusted voice for everyday Nigerians who refuse to accept excuses and are determined to build something better.
💼 What We Do
Daily Reality NG publishes in-depth, research-backed content across five main pillars:
1. 💰 Money & Finance
Practical advice on making money online, freelancing, side hustles, saving, investing, and building wealth as a Nigerian. We cover everything from mini-importation to digital products, from budgeting on ₦100,000 monthly to tax strategies for online earners.
2. 🏢 Business & Entrepreneurship
Real strategies for starting and growing businesses in Nigeria. From choosing profitable niches to dealing with Nigerian bureaucracy, from finding funding to scaling operations — we cover the full entrepreneurial journey.
3. 🌱 Personal Growth & Development
Mental health, self-improvement, productivity, relationships, and life skills — all framed for Nigerian reality. How to build confidence when family pressure is crushing you. How to stay motivated when everything seems stacked against you. How to grow despite the environment.
4. 💻 Tech & Digital Skills
Practical tech education for non-techies. Web development, content creation, digital marketing, AI tools, cybersecurity — explained in simple Nigerian English. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just clear, actionable knowledge.
5. 🏠 Lifestyle & Real Life
Everything else that matters: health, relationships, housing, travel, education, and navigating Nigerian systems. From dealing with toxic relationships to understanding your rights as a renter to managing stress in Lagos — we cover it all.
Our Content Promise: Every article we publish must pass these tests: (1) Is it actionable? (2) Is it relevant to Nigerian reality? (3) Is it based on real experience or verified research? (4) Would we recommend it to our own family? If any answer is "no," we don't publish it.
⭐ Our Core Values
These principles guide everything we do at Daily Reality NG:
Honesty Above All
We tell the truth, even when it's uncomfortable. No fake success stories. No unrealistic promises. No misleading clickbait. If something doesn't work, we say so.
Practical Over Perfect
We prioritize solutions that actually work in Nigerian reality over theoretical perfection. Better to give you something imperfect that works than something perfect that doesn't.
Community First
Our readers aren't just an audience — they're a community. We listen to feedback, respond to questions, and constantly improve based on what you need.
Research-Backed
Every claim is verified. Every strategy is tested. We cite our sources, link to authoritative references, and never publish content we haven't fact-checked.
Constant Improvement
We're never satisfied. We constantly update old content, learn new skills, and improve our processes to serve you better.
Nigerian Context
Everything is written with Nigerian reality in mind. From Naira amounts to Lagos examples to NEPA references — we speak your language.
