It's really funny, how, once you disagree with the OP (which was copied from someone's blog anyway and not the OP's original thoughts), everybody is quick to say you must be poor. They go 'mentality, mentality, mentality'. What a crock! I can comfortably say I am wealthy by standard of most nations, but I have a socialist bent. It is wrong for wealthy people to arrogate some superior knowledge or mindset to themselves. Rich people are a beneficiary of opportunities, period. Rich people have a responsibility to create wealth for others. Not by engaging in charity, but by using their wealth to create opportunities for others. Real opportunities mind you, not sanctimonious lectures that mean very little. If you look at Silicon Valley and its business culture, that is how riches should be managed. Innovators who have made money, pool funds together to support other aspiring innovators. Rather than the Russian model - a bunch of very few oligarchs strangulating the entire economy and squeezing it for their own benefit, because they used to be part of the state machinery of the old USSR. I will put a poser to the people, relating to the employment fortunes of fresh university graduates: Two scenarios exist. In Scenario 1, oil and gas entry level jobs = N10m per annum, and 0.5% of total university graduates other averagely decent jobs = 2-5m per annum, and 10% of total university graduates no job at all = 89.5% of the university graduates In scenario 2, entry level jobs in general = between 2-5m per annum, and 65% of total university graduates. premium jobs = between 5-10m, and 5% of total university graduates. Which one is better for the nation? |

2sexy: there is NOT and NEVER WILL BE a single almighty formula to riches/wealth. people save their ways to millionaire's club, many struggle their their ways to it, some conned their ways to it, many robbed their ways to it, so many inherited their ways to it .....etc reading a book can only inspire you into some certain action, guy listen to me, people have suffered, people have read books, i mean books and books and books. many writers of those books even died wretched, if know what i mean. its a thing of the mind, its not all about money, it about abundance. if you live in abundance, poverty and riches doesn't exist. think about the birds that fly in the sky, they live in abundance(not necessarily money)everything we need to exist abundantly in life is already here in our planet, dude! riches and poverty is in the mind of the thinkers, it DOES NOT exist. what exist in human that bring about the thought of both(riches and poverty)are greed, hatred, insatiability, and lack of the natural knowledge to exist abundantly in this place we call our world......991 4 Likes |

AjanleKoko: We share the same mentality as i can see. People are quick to jump into the get rich formular syndrome. I believe that the more a person has, the more he de-emphasizes wealth. There is no get rich formular to riches. A lot of factors must come into play. God, luck, opportunity, environment, timing etc. Nigerians have to realize that God doesn't throw wealth at people anyhow. Solomon was the only person we know that God decided to give wealth to in abundance. No amount of praying, bible reading and motivational books will make a man rich. All other factors must align in the right mix to make a man wealthy. Nigerians are the most gulible and materialist lot in the world. 1 Like |

maclatunji: What do you mean, correlation? Are you saying, to comment on the thread, we must agree with the OP? I am disagreeing with the OP, and espousing my socialist ideals. My point is the writer of those points is merely preying on the emotions of ordinary people, selling falsehood. Rich people don't think any different from ordinary people. |

@OP Even if we all agree that acquiring riches and wealth is bad for majority of the population, those ideals do not talk about the truth that most rich people and countries lie and plunder their way to wealth. Even the geeks (Gates, Zuckerberg and Jobs) have bent the rules and run foul of the moral code of their environment to get to where they are. Nigerians already know these things and the gutless losers who applaud these self help guides only do so to feel better that the main reason why they are not rich is because they haven't applied some sensible/quick fix guide to wealth. That said, I think socialist ideals are a better cure to this rat race to acquire OR maybe we should just make up new moral codes and like one of the rules 'MAKE SELFISHNESS A VIRTUE'. |

AjanleKoko: Hypocrisy is the real religion of the modern world.Point 15 answers your question perfectly. What's wrong with buying a piece of work that someone has spent his whole life researching on? I mean I know I'll be enriching him but at the end of the day it is worth it because my knowledge base will increase and I certainly won't be in the same thinking level. I mean same way I'll buy a Bible if I need to make heaven is same way I'll buy this thought-provoking piece of art if I want to be rich and ofcourse, I will. 1 Like |

e-mail: You don't get my point. Buying the book is not going to make you rich. Reading the book is also not going to make you rich. And finally, you don't need to read the book to adjust your attitude. That's my argument. The only person that will be rich as a result of the book is the author, because he's the only person that has applied creativity, consistency, and also positioned himself for the x-factor to work. X-factor in this case being the gullibility of the masses. The Bible isn't a good example. A lot of organizations make the Bible available at zero cost. You don't even need to buy it. I only referred to the Bible because some were quoting the Bible in support of the original post. |

AjanleKoko:I strongly disagree with your view. I mean, we go to school to become better individuals, the reason we read is to pass exams. For God sake, the Bible points the gate to heaven. Reading this and applying this piece guarantees you financial success. Except you did not acquire any knowledge in school then your point has value. 1 Like |

e-mail: That's a big fallacy my dear. Which piece if I may ask? If that's what bring riches, then the world should have produced millionaires in their billions. Many people have read books on wealth and are still as poor as church rats. What works for A may not necessarily work for B. |

Okija_juju:Pls dont derail the thread. Eating with cutleries or bare hands has nothing to do with wealth afterall, poor people in America use cutleries yet it doesnt make them rich. The Chinese use sticks to eat & that has changed nothing in the cycle of wealth. I know a number of wealthy Nigerians (I mean millionaires, Ministers & ex government oficials) who eat swallow foods with their bare hands. Have you ever seen a stickily rich hausa man eat 'tuwo' with cutleries? You just have to know that it is a matter of culture and where you come from which has NOTHING to do with "getting rich" mentality 1 Like |

Very great article. All points are indeed very true. Anybody can be rich,but not everybody can be wealthy. Think about this properly. There's a way a baron/tycoon/mogul thinks that's different from how a poor/middle class man thinks. For instance,see many of the reply comments to this topic,some people keep insisting that being wealthy is just a matter of circumstance and/or chance. THAT'S SO NOT TRUE. Although I do agree with some basic factors like God,Timing,environment,opportunity & in some cases luck but these also go a long way with the mentality.Being wealthy has a mentality & it is this same mentality that can make a poor man become a super-wealthy tycoon. FOR INSTANCE,SOME WEEKS AGO IT WAS ON THIS FORUM THAT DANGOTE'S COMPANY WAS ABOUT TO START EMPLOYING DEGREE-HOLDERS FOR DRIVERS IN THE COMPANY & MANY PEOPLE WERE TALKING RUBBISH & SAYING "WHAT KIND OF INSULT IS THIS?," "HOW CAN I HAVE GONE TO THE UNIVERSITY,GOTTEN A DEGREE & COME OUT TO BE A DRIVER?" etc...This is how a poor man thinks & this goes on to prove points numbers : 3. "Average people have lottery mentality......while the masses are waiting to pick the right numbers (jobs in this case) & praying for prosperity, the great ones are solving problems." 4." Average people think the road to riches is paved with formal education." 12. "Average people live beyond their means." .........you don't have anything, but you're still too proud to seek employment in a company that'd still pay you as a "degree holder" to drive professionally for them (even though you might be earning far more than your colleagues in corporate organisations.) 19. Average people love to be comfortable, rich people find comfort in uncertainty." .....while some people (of whom many are probably even unemployed) are feeling too proud to go drive (with a great salary I guess) for a company because they are "degree holders," some of their colleagues who are more inclined to being tycoons & moguls & super-wealthy men have sat down,analysed,dotted the i's & crossed the t's & have decided to come "low" by going to drive in that company & getting paid well as graduates rather than let pride get in the way. In a few years time, they'd probably have left their colleagues far behind not to mention the "every month beers" they'd probably be buying for their friends. People come on the internet spewing crap about Dangote,Adenuga, that Innoson chairman etc. while those men keeping waking up thinking about new grounds to break & how to expand their business empires. An analysis says "the least every Nigerian pays Dangote indirectly everyday is N5. Now check that out with our population...5 x at least 160million people everyday. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS OP A 100%. I'M NO RICH GUY YET O,IN FACT I'M STILL JUST A YOUNG GUY TRYING TO FIX THINGS FOR MYSELF, BUT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I ALREADY HAVE BLUEPRINTS OF HOW I WOULD EXPAND & EVEN SURPASS DANGOTE IN SOME FEW YEARS(that's the goal & objective for now.) |
