Education / Re: Problems Of Poor People In Today's World by Passiveseyi(m): 4:28pm On Aug 04
Are you ready?
Passiveseyi:
Problems of Poor people in today's world

They're taking advice from poor people

Poor people are teaching poor people how to be become more poor

If you want to Break Free From the Financial Struggle

Maybe it's time to rethink the advice you're getting.

There's a lot of information out there,

but not all of it leads to success.

You have to break free from the cycle of negativity.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to grow financially.

Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and seek out mentors who can guide you.

The biggest fear of people is losing friends or family who can't handle their growth.

The truth is, some people might not understand your new focus.

Another truth is,

You'll also attract supportive people who celebrate your journey.


Now, let's talk about building real financial freedom

1. Invest in Yourself (Before Upgrading Your Lifestyle):

Most successful people didn't get there by spending as much as they earn.

Invest in your education, skills, or anything that helps you grow your earning potential

Focus on what truly matters, your basic needs, don't try to compete material things with people to prove any point.

Learn how to downgrade your lifestyle, so you can upgrade your life


2. Invest, Don't Spend:

Your money should be working for you!

Instead of unnecessary spending, invest in yourself, your business,

or areas that will help you create long-term wealth.

3. Become an Expert (Before Diversifying):

Don't jump from one thing to another too quickly.

Focus on becoming an expert in one field before spreading yourself thin.

Remember:

Short-term sacrifices lead to long-term success.

Are you ready to take control of your financial future?
Education / Re: How To Escape The Rat Race (paycheck Cycle) by Passiveseyi(m): 4:28pm On Aug 04
Ok
Passiveseyi:
You spend all of the money from one salary before you receive the next salary and have no money left over for savings. .

That has been the cycle for months, and for some people, years!

This cycle is called Paycheck-paycheck

Today, I will be talking about a struggle many of us face:

feeling like our finances are constantly on a tightrope.

Here are some tips to help you break free from the paycheck- paycheck cycle, no matter where you are financially.

Mastering the Basics

Ever feel like you're just treading water financially?

Here's the truth:

Managing money is a skill.

A saying goes that:

"If you can't handle N10k, you can't handle N100k, and you can't handle a million."

It's all about building a strong foundation.

Think about it:

If you're struggling with smaller amounts,

chances are you'll struggle with larger sums too.

The key is

You have to master the basics first!
Learn to track your income and expenses.

Stop the excuse:
"If I had more money, I'd be better at managing it."

Because the reality is, many millionaires still struggle to keep a surplus.

2. Breaking the Entitlement Mindset

A lot of people struggle with a sense of entitlement.

They believe they deserve a certain lifestyle without putting in the work.

Here's the reality:

No one owes you anything.

Success requires hustle and sacrifice.

Stop living for appearances.

Reframe your thinking from "I deserve this" to "How can I work towards what I want?"

Are you even willing to make temporary sacrifices to reach your long-term goals?

Imagine going back to basics.

An apartment costs N200k/year

Would you be willing to share an apartment, cook your meals, and prioritize save more money?

Because some wealthy people had to go through this stage

Money management cannot be underestimated in the journey to financial freedom

True financial freedom comes from smart habits and a willingness to hustle.

You have the power to break free from the Paycheck-paycheck cycle.

By mastering the basics and changing your mindset,

you too can build a secure financial future.
Politics / Re: Is It Hunger, Protest Or Looting?? by Passiveseyi(m): 4:27pm On Aug 04
The experience we had during the end sars is coming up again
God save Nigeria
Passiveseyi:
Why must our own things be different in Nigeria.

Why are we looting people's businesses and destroying properties in the name of protest.

Now there's 24hrs curfew in many parts of Nigeria.

How do we get our demands? šŸ˜”

Are we not civilized at all in this country? šŸ„ŗšŸ’”

Is it hunger, Protest or looting??

Who is going to suffer it ?

We should be mindful on how we approach things whenever it got spoiled, if we don't, then we will lost forever.

This isn't #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria but looting and destroying.

We claim the government are bad but we are not also helping issues.

And these are the leaders of tomorrow??

Now people that are not in support of this protest or joined has to suffer for the curfew break and lose their business??
Sports / Re: My Betting Experience (You should read this before you get addicted) by Passiveseyi(m): 4:24pm On Aug 04
Stay away from betting!
Passiveseyi:
The first time I ever tried betting

I was in SS1

I saw people talk about it a lot

I decided to give it a trial during holiday

I placed my first bet with N500(some money left out of my pocket money)

I won about N3,500+

I was really excited but.. šŸ˜†

I didn't have a bank account šŸ˜­

I reached out to my elder brother to send me his account details

I withdraw the money with his account details

Up till today, he still haven't gotten the alert, according to himšŸ¤¬

I called people that are more experienced than I am, my friends then, to ask them what happened to my money

They said I shouldn't be scared and I should try again

This time, I can use their own account if I win

I tried the second time - I lost

I tried again the third time - I lost again

I tried mixing up the same game with different predictions and same stake - I lost again šŸ˜­

Then I stopped and told myself never to get involved in betting again....

Maybe God didn't allow me get that money I won because that life wasn't my path

Maybe If I had gotten access to that money, I wouldn't have had reason to stop betting
_____
But I still kept these friends who are into it

I started rolling with them

I used to be very brilliant in Junior school

Infact, I was the overall best in the whole block in JSS2(6 classes in total) then, I also got best result for BECE exams (that JSS3 crossing to SSS1 general exam)

But I started getting dull

Keeping friends that are girls( the same me that use to be very shy)

Started a relationship too with one girl too (not a serious relationship tho)

My grades dropped drastically

But I was very conscious of not failing my exams so, I read when it's time for exams and manage to be among the top 20 in block throughout my senior secondary school

Some of these friends I kept had to drop out because of low grades

We entered a lot of school cases together then, from crossing bounds to buy indomie and suya (going outside school through illegal route in a boarding school system), to cooking in uncompleted buildings in school or hostel ceiling, to getting our phones seized multiple times.

In SS3, I was appointed by my collegues to be one of the coordinators in block

My phone was seized in first term, I was the first to be called out on assembly that term and my phone was destroyed right in my presence

Maybe that was why my colleagues respected me and appointed me to coordinate them

Little did I know that, they knew I have been disgraced already and taking another disgrace should not be difficult for me again, so I was best fit to coordinate the final exam affairs for SS3

Some teachers were aware

My phones could no longer be seized after this my new appointment

Even if it gets seized, I have connection from teachers that have higher power to get it back

Because we settle them a lot and I was in charge of the money we do contribute

So nothing should happen to me if they want to keep getting their share

My jamb score hit me really had - very lowšŸ˜­

Fast forward till we finished our exams

There were a lot of complication that almost got us in trouble especially me and the other coordinators in charge

We were invited many times for questioning, they sent different spy student to us to get us down

But we scaled through because we were conscious not to fall

Most of us graduated with average grades and everyone parted ways

Maybe if I had not kept these friends, I wouldn't have gone through all of this and probably even graduate as one of the best student in school then

I wouldn't have had to experience such a terrible life experience

I would have found it easier to read and understand easily now because, I would have gotten used to the habit

All thanks to God for not allowing me ruin my life with my own hands, and for keeping me safe even when I almost ruined it completely myself with what I got myself into

What did this teach you?

Education / Check This Before Listening To Financial Advisors by Passiveseyi(m): 4:23pm On Aug 04
Have you ever felt lost when it comes to some financial advice you hear?

There's so much information out there, and it's hard to know who to trust.

Today, let's talk about a powerful strategy for getting the best financial guidance!

Imagine a millionaire sharing the secrets to their success.

Now, imagine getting advice from someone struggling to make ends meet.

See the difference?

It's very clear and distinct

You have to seek guidance from those who have achieved the results you desire.

This might sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how often people overlook it.

Never get financial advice from someone who makes less money than you.

Why this matter is that

People who have built wealth often have valuable insights and experiences to share.

They understand the challenges and strategies involved in achieving financial success.

By learning from their journeys, you can gain valuable knowledge and inspiration to apply to your own financial goals.

And It's not just about money.

This principle applies to any area of life where you want to improve.

Never get business advice from somebody who's got a smaller business than

You never get relationship advice from somebody who's got a failed marriage o

Never get friend advice from somebody got no friends you love to keep

it's simple

Seek advice from those who have achieved the results you desire, and watch yourself grow!


So, who are the financial mentors in your life?

Are they crushing it financially, let's us talk in the comment

Aside the bad governance

We Nigerians should do our part to support more of what we produce in our country

We depend on other country's resources for every of our daily needs

We consume much more than we produce.

The only way to grow the Naira's value and develop our economy is by appreciating what we own and try to produce more.

Do your part.

Drive Innoson or Nord

Call with Glo

Build with Dangote and BUA

Eat breakfast with Nasco

Lunch and dinner with made in Nigeria rice, even if it has stones

Go on dates at Tantalisers and Suya spots

Drink Zobo

Celebrate with palm wine

Fly Air Peace over Air France, KLM, or Lufthansa

Shop at local markets

Eat cassava bread over foreign wheat bread

Watch Enyimba and Kano Pillars

See Nollywood movies at Silverbird

Stream Nigerian music

Wear aso oke, agbada, babanriga, or isi agu

These are basics thing we can do to increase the GDP of the country and reduce the dollar rate
Bullfallo:
I paid 35,000 for an order of 18$.

I still remember during Jonathan I use to make order of 20$ it was around 3000.

Just imagine what APC turned Nigeria into within 9 years while everyone watch. This can't happen in developed world while the government still in power.

Stay away from it as much as you can

It can ruin your life

Instead,

Gather up the money and start learning a skill

Offline or online

Give it 6 months of consistent practice and dedication

You'll be glad you did

You spend all of the money from one salary before you receive the next salary and have no money left over for savings. .

That has been the cycle for months, and for some people, years!

This cycle is called Paycheck-paycheck

Today, I will be talking about a struggle many of us face:

feeling like our finances are constantly on a tightrope.

Here are some tips to help you break free from the paycheck- paycheck cycle, no matter where you are financially.

Mastering the Basics

Ever feel like you're just treading water financially?

Here's the truth:

Managing money is a skill.

A saying goes that:

"If you can't handle N10k, you can't handle N100k, and you can't handle a million."

chances are you'll struggle with larger sums too.

The key is

You have to master the basics first!
Learn to track your income and expenses.

Stop the excuse:
"If I had more money, I'd be better at managing it."

Because the reality is, many millionaires still struggle to keep a surplus.

2. Breaking the Entitlement Mindset

A lot of people struggle with a sense of entitlement.

They believe they deserve a certain lifestyle without putting in the work.

Here's the reality:

No one owes you anything.

Success requires hustle and sacrifice.

Stop living for appearances.

Reframe your thinking from "I deserve this" to "How can I work towards what I want?"

Are you even willing to make temporary sacrifices to reach your long-term goals?

Imagine going back to basics.

An apartment costs N200k/year

Would you be willing to share an apartment, cook your meals, and prioritize save more money?

Because some wealthy people had to go through this stage

Money management cannot be underestimated in the journey to financial freedom

True financial freedom comes from smart habits and a willingness to hustle.

You have the power to break free from the Paycheck-paycheck cycle.

By mastering the basics and changing your mindset,

you too can build a secure financial future.

Politics / Re: Protest Over? What Now? by Passiveseyi(m): 9:41pm On Aug 03
Sadly, most people commenting might not even join the ongoing protest
Passiveseyi:
Protest over? What now?

I think the protest yesterday in Nigeria was pointless.

I even heard that some used the protest as an avenue to steal in areas in the north,

So observe closely.

You see,

Having a campaign with hashtag ā€œEND BAD GOVERNANCEā€ can never work.

I sincerely feel a great way to protest will be to protest one issues at a time.

Example:

Some time back, hardship became worse than usual and people felt that

they was too much suffering and were being paid too little as price of everything has gone up.

So a certain organization protested and ask that the minimum wage be increased,

some workers even went on strike.

Now, a few week later,

The minimum wage was increased by a staggering 130%.

Even if was still small, it was an improvement.

And we can say itā€™s a successful protest.

But when you come out to protest and not have something specific reasons,

itā€™s just chaos and no results.

I donā€™t like bad governance but understand that you can not go far blaming the government.

You are your responsibility.

There are two options

We either keep managing with the system while praying for our leaders to make the right choices.

or future leaders to do better.

Or we start working on finding solutions to the problems around us to yield more revenue for the country.

We are more of a producer than a consumer and this is why the dollar keeps depreciating and naira getting devalued.

Imagine what 70k as minimum wage would be able to afford when dollar was approximately N200/$.

We need to strive to produce more.

If we don't have the capital to get started,

We can start by,

Driving Innoson or Nord,

Calling with Glo,

Building with Dangote and BUA,

Eating breakfast with Nasco,

Eating Lunch and dinner with made in Nigeria rice, even if it has stones,

Going on dates at Tantalisers and Suya spots,

Shoping at local markets,

Eating cassava bread over foreign wheat bread,

Watching Enyimba and Kano Pillars,

Seeing Nollywood movies at Silverbird,

Streaming Nigerian music,

Wearing aso oke, agbada, babanriga, or isi agu,

I believe this will is strongly increase our GDP.

If we don't choose not to do this,

The only alternative is to find a way to earn in dollars or any other foreign currency.

Sadly, tons of people will keep complaining because they can't take the stress of giving themselves to learning.

I don't know much about politics but I believe this will go a long way

Nigeria will still become great again.šŸ”„

What did I miss?
Passiveseyi:
You can tell the size of a man by the size of his problems

People say the size of your challenges reflects your potential for growth.

Setbacks and failures are inevitable.

No matter how you try

But the most successful people do not give it a chance to define them.

They embrace these challenges!

if you can learn to embrace the things that are getting in your way,

embrace the failures that are coming,

those are just small bricks that are going to build your Castle in life,


Think of every obstacle as a stepping stone on your journey to success.

Every failure will teach you a valuable lesson and builds your capacity.

It adds depth and experience to who you are.

Everytime you fail, you must be grateful for it

and see it as a part of the story that you're going to tell people one day

Maybe in an event, in a mall, In a plane, in a restaurant, in your g-wagon

of how you became the man that you are

and if you don't have any of those stories

nobody will be interested in your story at all,

Take pride in the challenges you overcome.
They're shaping you into the incredible person you're becoming.

Remember:

For every level, there's a new devil.

Every level brings new challenges,

Just like every successful person has faced their fair share of difficulties.

But those challenges tell a story of your perseverance and strength.

Again, in Today's world, you can tell the size of a man by the size of his problems.

So get up every day and every time you get hit in the face, remember this:

I really hope this doesn't end up being violent

Because, this will definitely push the government to yield more power.

#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: Woman collapses after police fire tear gas at Abuja protesters


The police in Abuja, like in many other parts of Nigeria, have made it a habit to disrupt peaceful protests with tear gas.

Politics / Re: Igbos Can Go, But Grant Them A Seperate Country First by Passiveseyi(m): 10:15am On Aug 03
I truly believe together, we can make Nigeria a better place to live in

We just need to stop these ethnicity comparison and rivalry

One thing we should understand is that every ethnic group and tribe has its own uniqueness and abilities.

Of course, each tribe can do good on her own but togetherness is what makes us do better

We have our own differences but with tolerance, love and understanding

We'll fit in and find a balance

How sweet would it be If all Nigerians can see this from this light
gidgiddy:
To all Igbo haters

To all who support Igbosmustgo

To all who carry Igbo matter on their heads like basket of yam

To those who only remember that insecurity and criminality exists in Nigeria only if it happens in Igbo land

To all who have to go back 70 years ago to find what Igbos did wrong

Please, it's not a must that you must share the same country with Igbos. But for the fact that the British brought us all together in 1914, you may never have known who Igbos are.

So if you are against Igbos, support a movement for them to gain independence and exit Nigeria. If you say Igbo land is the Sout East, support that area to have independence referendum

You cannot be shouting 'one Nigeria' with one side of the mouth, but denounce Igbos with the other side, some Igbos like me are tired of 'one Nigeria'.

So the choice is clear, follow 'one Nigeria' or follow break up, there is no middle ground here. You got a problem with Igbos? Support them to exit Nigeria, for only a crazy person wants to be with someone he has a problem with

They're taking advice from poor people

Poor people are teaching poor people how to be become more poor

If you want to Break Free From the Financial Struggle

Maybe it's time to rethink the advice you're getting.

There's a lot of information out there,

but not all of it leads to success.

You have to break free from the cycle of negativity.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to grow financially.

Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and seek out mentors who can guide you.

The biggest fear of people is losing friends or family who can't handle their growth.

The truth is, some people might not understand your new focus.

Another truth is,

You'll also attract supportive people who celebrate your journey.


Now, let's talk about building real financial freedom

1. Invest in Yourself (Before Upgrading Your Lifestyle):

Most successful people didn't get there by spending as much as they earn.

Invest in your education, skills, or anything that helps you grow your earning potential

Focus on what truly matters, your basic needs, don't try to compete material things with people to prove any point.

Learn how to downgrade your lifestyle, so you can upgrade your life


2. Invest, Don't Spend:

Your money should be working for you!

Instead of unnecessary spending, invest in yourself, your business,

or areas that will help you create long-term wealth.

3. Become an Expert (Before Diversifying):

Don't jump from one thing to another too quickly.

Focus on becoming an expert in one field before spreading yourself thin.

Remember:

Short-term sacrifices lead to long-term success.

Are you ready to take control of your financial future?

What makes you think some states haven't tried that?
AImoneyAdder:
A PROTEST That Has Two Different Tags Already Is Already Rooted In DISUNITY.



Is It #EndBadGovernance or #EndHUNGER ?


A Protest Tagged As "HUNGER PROTEST" Should Be As A Result of The FAILURE of The Ministry of Agriculture of Nigeria.


So, Those People Agitating For #HUNGERPROTEST Should Head Over To The Ministries of Agriculture in Their Respective States To Submit Useful Agricultural Proposals That Should Be Championed And Financed By Their Ministries of Agriculture.



This is The Saner Thing To Do.

What other solution can you profer?
Passiveseyi:


Protest over? What now?

I think the protest yesterday in Nigeria was pointless.

I even heard that some used the protest as an avenue to steal in areas in the north,

So observe closely.

You see,

Having a campaign with hashtag ā€œEND BAD GOVERNANCEā€ can never work.

I sincerely feel a great way to protest will be to protest one issues at a time.

Example:

Some time back, hardship became worse than usual and people felt that

they was too much suffering and were being paid too little as price of everything has gone up.

So a certain organization protested and ask that the minimum wage be increased,

some workers even went on strike.

Now, a few week later,

The minimum wage was increased by a staggering 130%.

Even if was still small, it was an improvement.

And we can say itā€™s a successful protest.

But when you come out to protest and not have something specific reasons,

itā€™s just chaos and no results.

I donā€™t like bad governance but understand that you can not go far blaming the government.

You are your responsibility.

There are two options

We either keep managing with the system while praying for our leaders to make the right choices.

or future leaders to do better.

Or we start working on finding solutions to the problems around us to yield more revenue for the country.

We are more of a producer than a consumer and this is why the dollar keeps depreciating and naira getting devalued.

Imagine what 70k as minimum wage would be able to afford when dollar was approximately N200/$.

We need to strive to produce more.

If we don't have the capital to get started,

We can start by,

Driving Innoson or Nord,

Calling with Glo,

Building with Dangote and BUA,

Eating breakfast with Nasco,

Eating Lunch and dinner with made in Nigeria rice, even if it has stones,

Going on dates at Tantalisers and Suya spots,

Drinking Zobo,

Celebrating with palm wine,

Flying Air Peace over Air France, KLM, or Lufthansa

Shoping at local markets,

Eating cassava bread over foreign wheat bread,

Watching Enyimba and Kano Pillars,

Seeing Nollywood movies at Silverbird,

Streaming Nigerian music,

Wearing aso oke, agbada, babanriga, or isi agu,

I believe this will is strongly increase our GDP.

If we don't choose not to do this,

The only alternative is to find a way to earn in dollars or any other foreign currency.

Sadly, tons of people will keep complaining because they can't take the stress of giving themselves to learning.

I don't know much about politics but I believe this will go a long way

Nigeria will still become great again.šŸ”„

Passiveseyi:
You can tell the size of a man by the size of his problems

People say the size of your challenges reflects your potential for growth.

Setbacks and failures are inevitable.

No matter how you try

But the most successful people do not give it a chance to define them.

They embrace these challenges!

if you can learn to embrace the things that are getting in your way,

embrace the failures that are coming,

those are just small bricks that are going to build your Castle in life,


Think of every obstacle as a stepping stone on your journey to success.

Every failure will teach you a valuable lesson and builds your capacity.

It adds depth and experience to who you are.

Everytime you fail, you must be grateful for it

and see it as a part of the story that you're going to tell people one day

Maybe in an event, in a mall, In a plane, in a restaurant, in your g-wagon

of how you became the man that you are

and if you don't have any of those stories

nobody will be interested in your story at all,

Take pride in the challenges you overcome.
They're shaping you into the incredible person you're becoming.

Remember:

For every level, there's a new devil.

Every level brings new challenges,

Just like every successful person has faced their fair share of difficulties.

But those challenges tell a story of your perseverance and strength.

Again, in Today's world, you can tell the size of a man by the size of his problems.

So get up every day and every time you get hit in the face, remember this:

You have to have a Relentless heart!

Because with that relentless spirit, there's nothing this world can stop you from becoming.


So, the next time you feel discouraged, remember this:

Sticking with something long enough and embracing the challenges that comes with it will most likely lead to your success.

Now get out there, conquer your goals, and build a story worth telling!

What are your biggest challenges right now?
