How to Level Every Skill: The Training Data

Every skill-gated career in the game keys off one of five trainable skills. Fitness level 3 opens Medicine (₦21,000/shift), Aviation (₦19,000), and Oil & Gas (₦20,000). Coding level 3 opens Product Management (₦20,000) and the alternative route into Oil & Gas. Comedy level 3 opens Broadcasting (₦18,000). Charisma level 3 opens Real Estate (₦18,000) — and Abuja's Civil Service accepts charisma level 2, a lower bar than Lagos. Hustle level 3 opens Lagos Civil Service (₦17,000). So your training plan IS your career plan: pick the gate first, then train toward it.

The best recorded fitness trainer is Lift Weights (60 minutes, rate 2.0) — but it drains energy -14 and hygiene -18, so schedule a shower and a meal around it. Treadmill (45 min, 1.6) and a PT Session (60 min) are the next tier. Almost-free alternatives that multitask: swimming in the Atlantic (60 min, rate 1.0, fun +20), beach football (1.2, social +16), and carrying loads as an Alabaru — 120 minutes at rate 0.8 but it pays ₦2,250 while you train. Even walking the dog builds 0.5 while adding +20 fun.

Weekend Hackathon posts the best coding rate in the game (2.0) but eats 4 hours — plan it as a rest-day anchor, not a daily habit. Side Project (120 min, 1.6) is the best everyday grind; Practise Coding (120 min, 1.2) and Freelance Gig (180 min, 0.6, fun -6) trail behind. Meetups (120 min, 0.8) add social +16 if your social meter needs the boost. One Product Management unlock (coding L3) beats months of Banking promotions on pay.

Comedy: filming a skit (60 min, rate 1.5) beats open-mic stand-up practice (40 min, 1.3); performing at Comedy Night (1.2) is the stage version. Charisma: the single fastest recorded rate is Shut Down the Club — 180 minutes at 1.5 that also maxes social and fun (+100 each) — with Practise Speech (45 min, 1.3) as the daily driver and Practise Presenting at the radio house (1.2) a close third. Hustle: Buy & Resell Goods leads (120 min, 1.5), Talk Billion-Naira Deals at the members' lounge posts 1.4, and Read a Business Book (60 min, 1.2) is the quiet grind. Hustle training overlaps neatly with the Trading and Retail career families.

Combine money and training wherever the data allows it: Alabaru shifts earn ₦2,250 while quietly building fitness; reselling goods builds hustle while you're out in the markets; the hackathon anchors one weekend day for coders. The pattern the data supports: work your no-requirement job for income, run two or three targeted training blocks per in-game day, and keep Sleep plus a cheap meal action in the loop so your meters never block the plan. Exact meter numbers per activity are in the Game Data directory on every action's record page.
