How I made my first million without help of a man — Nons Miraj

Popular content creator Nons Miraj has shed light on her journey to financial success, revealing how she made her first million without bending over for any man.

Speaking on a recent podcast, the actress and comedienne shared the humble beginnings that eventually led to her breakthrough in the entertainment industry.

She revealed that her career initially began in Nollywood, but the financial returns were underwhelming.

“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 story is a testament to resilience, smart hustling, and self-reliance in a world where many often assume wealthy male sponsors must back female success.
