You need money, I need money, everyone needs money. Everyone was born with nothing but with time some begin to become very rich while others remain poor. Is this as a result of the wickedness and biasness of God? Or are the both not working? Hell no! God created everyone equally. I will give us few examples before we move on to the list of what makes the rich and the poor different.

In Genesis 1:28 God blessed the man and woman he created and asked them to go and be fruitful and multiply BUT God never gave them any formula to achieve this. We have a similar example in the second creation (Genesis 9:1).
Also in Proverbs 22 : 2 we see that God made both the rich and the poor BUT he didn't make them so (Ie. He never made one rich and the other poor).
By implication whether you will end up rich or poor is a function of your approach to life. I just laugh when people see a wealthy guy and the next thing they say is "mehn that guy is LUCKY." So the question becomes WHAT MAKES YOU UNLUCKY If wealth is luck then you better go grab some luck o. Lol.
So let's quickly run through the list of what makes the rich and the poor different.

1. The rich (or a potential rich person) saves before they spend while the poor man spends and then save whatever is left. You see why many are poor?

2. The rich buys ONLY what he needs while the poor buys everything he wants. Let me give you an illustration. I have a Tecno G9 tablet (selling for 35) which serves all the purpose I bought it for. My friend visited me and I saw him holding a Samsung galaxy tab (selling for 65k). I started longing to have a Samsung too (though both Samsung and Tecno runs on Android), so I emptied my account just to match up to my friends level. Hmmmmmm bros you will be poor ooo.

3. The rich takes risk while the poor tries to analyse and understand everything. I'm not saying you shouldn't think carefully before venturing into a thing ooo but don't overdo it.

4. The rich invests while the poor eats everything he has and start over again. If you ever try to advise him he will say "bros the one wey you chop for your belle na him be your own o." Some will say "bros leave that matter joo, you only live once (YOLO)." But really, this YOLO mentality has sent many to their early graves.

5. The rich set realisable goals while the poor will prefer to focus more on luck. I laugh when I see people doing football betting as a business. Lol. That should be for the love and fun of it. Little wonder People even die when they loose.

In conclusion, be wise to be rich. Poverty is a turn off. Did you learn anything? Do you have questions or opinion? Over to you.

Wonderful.! Very good one @No. 3, reminds me of "too much analysis leads to paralysis". Thanks for reminding me.

All points are very valuable. Will relate more with the YOLO crew.
I think that phrase is evil, it takes your mind away from life after death. When we die we live again in heaven,init ?

Nice research.
But No 2 though. The rich also buy what they do not need.

fantastic write up @OP,u are right.

Obviously facts only great minds would grasp.


However, I cherish GRACE more. That is what i desire most.

Can you please give us a link to the audio where it was extracted from? And who is Warren Buffet? I have never heard that name in my life. BTWN the fact that you are too dull to write doesn't mean everyone is like you. Go get a life and stop looking for trouble. That's a sure way to penury.

Don't waste your breath on fools, for they will
despise the wisest advice. Proverbs 23:9 (NLT)

So don't bother correcting mockers; they will
only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will
love you. Proverbs 9:8 (NLT)


if you like keep posting other people's minds and take all the credits, don't learn to appreciate the good works of other people. I rest my case.

Proverbs 10:23 It is as sport (pleasant) to a fool to do mischief (annoy others) : but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

My regret is the fact that I replied you initially because I'm used to ignoring low lives.

2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

If you feel it was culled from Barren or whoever and you are so concerned please SUE me for plagiarism or you don't know the road to a court? I Lol.
