Can One Still Make It Legitimately In Nigeria by coputa(m): 8:26pm On Dec 03, 2022
I am prompted to ask this question, because of the high rate of crime and dishonesty among Nigerians in the quest to make it financially especially among the youths.
If you take a cursory look around, you will see a lot of people living big, without any visible means that reflects their wealth.
On the other hands,those hustling legitimately,are not valued as they are paid peanuts,while living from hand to mouth.The system does not reward hardwork and honestly.So,i am prompted to ask,can someone still make legitimately in Nigeria like in the 80s and 90s.

I was talking to someone recently and the person said he had a discussion with a female who was like with the way the economy is, she doesn't even care what her partner does for money. Even parents don't care. Just bring the money home.

Shows how low we've sank in morals.

Maybe but I think it's extremely hard, plus even at that, your level of making it might never reach that of the criminals .

Unfortunately Nigeria is in a very very sorry state.

It depends. Take NigeriaIsGreat for instance. The poor boy started off hustling and doing things the right way. After a whole lot of disappointment, he joined the APC whatsapp groups and now has sold his conscience for a plate of Amala. His story is the story of multitudes of youths.

Look at the society, We all celebrate the wrong things. Wealth without caring about the source is glorified. No punishment for people that steal big. Not even the church or mosques cares the source of wealth. All we blacks seem to think of is easy money making. Too much emphasis on entertainment instead of science and technology.

Don't you think it's because of greed.I say this because even some Nigerians living in developed economy still exhibit the same character,so to some extend,the government is not to blame.
