The Brutal Truth No One Would Tell You. by ibechris(m): 4:05pm On Mar 25, 2023 |
Education does not make one rich. Going to school will never make u rich. Reading a particular course is not a guarantee that u will be rich. Growing up to see ur parents rich will also not quarantee u riches. Having one billion as inheritance today is not a guarantee that u will be rich tomorrow. That ur parents are poor does not also mean that u are forbidden to be rich. Being born in an unspeakable condition does not mean u can't be what u wished for yourself in this world,even if u are born in prison or psychiatric hospital. That,you are among those they call leaders of tomorrow is never a guarantee that u are destine to lead( don't be deceived). U can only be what u have visioned and worked for 15 Likes 7 Shares |

Klass99: Below solves it. FIRST GENERATION.....in every generation,there are those who built wealth. SECOND GENERATION.....those who sustain the wealth and make even more. THIRD GENERATION.......and these are those who squanders everything. AND this usually takes place within 30 years or less. Some are not always lucky to have this wealth passed down to the next generation. If u look around u,u will see many of such. I can give u examples MKO Abiola,JJ Ogbulafor father of former PDP chairman late,Goddy Anabor,Kola Aluko. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

burp18: What is successful to you might not be to another person. You define your own success. I believe, if at any point in your life, you consider yourself successful (through your work) then you're successful in your own rights. Success is infinite. How far are you willing to go before you call it a day? 6 Likes |

mariahAngel:Think of it this way, what would happen if we were all successful? No one would want to render any form of service to anyone because we are all equals. It's just life and there's always a balance. They'll always be needs and there will always be people who can fill these needs. That's why we can't all be successful no matter how hard we try. 3 Likes |

ibechris: Not entirely true. Some people have vision, work hard and smart but their visions just didn't materialize because of external factors such as environment, exposure and money. And for money, it's easier to be wealthy if you're born into wealth than if you're born in poverty. Jowizaza or DJ Cuppy has a higher chance of maintaining wealth than Daniel whose family lives in a rented 3 bed apartment in Egbeda. That's just life. If the rich cry, the poor cry harder. Like someone said, na just time & chance. 10 Likes 1 Share |

1. A university is a place of higher education where individuals gain knowledge and skills that can be used to gain a better advantage in any chosen profession. It's a cynosure for ideas from different perspectives, fused into one place so that everything taught and learned will be robust for profits, sustainability, and development. Take for example a traditional herbalist who can get medication from a different potpourri of plants that can heal. This is based on experience. However, he lacks knowledge of the biochemical process that resulted in that healing. He doesn't even know the constituents of the plants. All he knows is that plant A + plant B can cure Mr. C's illness. If he decides to understand this whole process, he takes a pharmaceutical or biochemical course at the university. His horizon widens, and his repertoire of knowledge gets fat. This additional knowledge will fetch him more money as it is an upgrade. Even his clients will be happy to pay more if they are well-enlightened. Originally, the higher institution wasn't meant for the poor and low IQ. It was for the elites and monarchs to train their kids in preparation to take their position after they retire or die. The peasants were meant to take local professions. Those with high IQs could fit well into the system and benefit largely because, by their IQ, they are curious and hungry for more knowledge. Fast track to our contemporary day, the university has been filled with low IQs. People are not hungry for knowledge, but see it as a means to an end - money. The monetization of the university by the government has even made things worst. Centers for learning and education are scattered all over the place, not for educational purposes per se but for profits. You know this by the series of departments and courses they create annually; this is to accommodate more students - the higher the number of students, the higher the profits. A university education is not a waste. It seems like a waste in many nations today because there is no enabling environment to practice your profession and put every knowledge and skill into action. Education can make you richer than the layman practicing the same profession as you. It's a matter of having the right tool and environment to implement that which you have learned. 2. Only a foolish son will squander the riches of his parents. Born into a rich home is a rollercoaster to wealth. It saves time and any unnecessary hustles. It gives you an edge over your peers. It gives you connections to other rich people. Being born into a poor family is a setback. A huge disadvantage that can impede your movement and render you unable to do something meaningful with your life. It takes a subset of individuals from poor backgrounds to experience success. The majority never meet up. You can't compare an almajirai child running in the streets of Borno state under a scorching sun, begging for alms with a Saudi young prince. Both are not only continents apart, but in their destiny also. The prince is already in his monarchy while the almajirai is still somnabulating and looking for food to eat. Being born with a silver spoon matters. 3. Positive thinking helps. Determination is good. Hard work is necessary. Consistency is a prerequisite. But people do underestimate LUCK. Your positive mindset, determination et al., are good as nothing if you don't have luck, a chance to make the big blow, and win. You can't compare a prisoner to a free man. A healthy man to a psychiatric patient. Those that make a breakthrough from rugged conditions are the exceptions, not the rule. Luck met and blessed them. If your environment is bad, you'll hardly see success. If government policies aren't favorable, you'll struggle hard. If you're not born with the right genetics, you'll triple work your way up. Be prepared enough. Nothing is set in stone. We live by faith and hope, expecting to reach our destination someday. We must keep moving. May we be favored by luck and chance. Thanks. 29 Likes 7 Shares |

ibechris: You are totally right. That is why there is a saying that - Bad times create strong men, Strong men create good time, Good time create weak men And weak men create bad time The owners of GIGM, Ekeledichukwu luxirious bus etc are dead but their children are struggling to keep the companies afloat. Most rich nigerian entrepreneurs will see their biz fold up 40/50 years from now while a new generation of hungry men with business acumen will spring up from the poor homes. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Interesting insights here. I doubt we'd ever reach any conclusion on this matter. Time and chance happen to some. There is also the place of hardwork and struggle but unfortunately, this does not always guarantee success. Several limiting factors might account for this. In such situation it's resilience that will see you through. The never give up spirit. 6 Likes |

burp18:That's impossible...if I have that kind of money sitting in my account, I'll just go into real estate. Buy acres of land in 3 populated states, convert it into a mini estate, develop it into block of flats and rent them out. If I choose to do nothing till I reach 90, I'll never be poor, cos tenants would keep renting my properties which means money would keep coming. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
