Can it be established factually or is it just a matter of faith that should be termed sacrosanct?
This is because there are many people that seemingly succeed /without God.

BedLam: HOW TO REMAIN POOR..

1. Never wake up early...

Keep stretching & turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing if there are no bedbugs,
why hurry to get up??

2} Never plan how to spend your money..

Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it's finished, you try to count and
recall how you spent it..

3} Don't think of saving until you have real big money...

How can you save when you earn so little?? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your
burning needs..

4} Don't engage in activities usually reserved for the " uneducated "...

How can you a graduate
engage in petty trade or home based production?? That's for people who never went to school.

5} Don't think of starting a business until an angel comes from heaven & give U capital..

How do
they expect U to invest before U get millions of dollars?? Even though more than half the
businesses in your town were started with a few hundred dollar, you as a smart person can only
start with millons.

6} Complain about everything expect your own attitude:

Blame the system the government & the
banks that refuse to lend you money. They are all bad & do not want you to get rich.

7. Spend more than you earn.

To achieve this, buy consumer product on credit & keep borrowing
from friends & employers.

8. Compete in dressing.

Make sure wear the latest clothes among all workers in your offer..
Whenever your neighbour buys a new phone, u get one that is more expensive..

9. Get yourself a nice second hand car that costs more than three times your gross monthly pay..

10. Give your children everything they ask for since you're such a loving parent.

They should not
struggle for anything because you do not want them to suffer that way, they will grow up lazy &
hence poor enough to ensure they can't help you in old age...

I love the sarcastic delivery. Nice.

ACM10:
Let's this advice. If a worker earns a gross salary of #100,000. What kind of car do you expect him to buy at the cost of #300,000 in Nigeria. Can you agree with me that this advice does not add up?


I agree with you partially. Give your children things that you can afford. You can be extremely rich and still train your kids to grow up to be responsible adults.

Do really need a car? to me car is a luxury!

Most people will debate Number 8 with you. People take dressing like a do or die affair, its a bloody competition, i must say.

They say 2 heads are better than 1. God is just my second head. That's basically what I can say. I know people succeed without God but me believe I can't go any further without God.

van bonattel: I can wake up late thinking and scheeming, planning and scheduling how to achieve in 2 hours what took you 2 days to do.

why don't you do that before sleeping.
A Little sleep, a little slumber and poverty will crawl in.

Best way to avoid being poor

Clemzy16: somebody should correct me if am wrong, but doing the exact opposite of what the OP listed does not make one rich either.

Definitely, d opposite of 10 ways to remain poor listed above are ways to become rich. Thank u 4 d post.

Hahaha! So true 0P! God help us.

coputa: Nunber 5 in your list is wrong,why wont a graduate engage in home production..who told you that home production is meant for illiterates..someone can be engaged in home production and be rich

you did'nt understand the op, read through again.

@BEDLAM .God bless you sir.

all is true, except no 1. i found out that i'm most creative at night so i work late into the night with my ideas and work. 9am is my typical wake up time except i slept early or i have an early morning appointment. great tips though. really thoughtful.

@ poster,
You may need to clarify further on point #4. Especially on the definition of 'uneducated'. To me education has nothing to do with your paper certificate. As a matter of fact,there are millions people out there without formal education, hence they are smart and more knowledgeable in money making processes while majority keep deceiving themselves with paper qualifications.
The point am making is that anyone can engage in any activity as long as you properly defined set of goals to achieve from it. With time, You can then apply your education to do it differently. It matter not if you do it in your backyard or your kitchen considering the high rate of unemployment and lack of capital in Nigeria.

Very incisive.

Hope you are not as dull as you sound.

"how to treasure in poverty"

Gentle Naaz: BEST WAY 2 REMAIN POOR
1. C money as ur enemy
2. Work for humanitarian n nt 4 money. If u r paid, reject it.
3. Always work wt d principle dat ur reward is in heaven
4. Sell groundnut
5. Hope 2 work in Nigeria rail way station(NRWS)

Here is another misguided youth, Sometimes you have to work for free, to get certain principles and skills that would improve you for life and bring in money. It doesn't matter what you sell, it is how you sell it and to whom it is sold. If you supply groundnuts to cereal making companies or export it , you would be richer than the guy working in an oil company. The guy working at the counter in a railway station and the guy working at the counter in a bank are doing the same job. Years of experience , Go figure!

K thankx

@ op, u forgot number 11
spend valuable time on nairaland studying tonto dike, follow the kardashians on twitter.

salt 1: Good post.
I love No 6 particularly. I noticed that critics hardly create anything but criticism: blame the system, blame your parents, blame everything and everyone but yourself. To be broke is temporary but being poor is an attitude.

agreed

nice, your pastor will enjoy your money, simple.
