They love to Speak pidgin

They beleive that speaking English does not make one intelligent... yet they can't speak English properly

They believe in village people.

They think suffering is a flex... See, if I tell you how I suffered... That's their gist.

They think people that are rich are rich by grace. They don't understand the concept of intelligent work.

Rich ppl speak pigin too, but not to Thier kids
Lower class ppl speak pigin to Thier kids.

I agree with you.

Some of the most wasteful people I know are poor. They can splurge worse than a rich man.

1. Concerns about Food Security: Constant worries about food and nutrition might stem from past financial difficulties. People from such backgrounds might struggle with weight, have an aversion to wasting food, or develop poor eating habits.
CONTINUE READING

2. Saving the Best for Last.

Leaving the best part of a meal for the end is a habit developed from the anticipation of scarcity. This way, the most enjoyable part is savored for longer.

3. Reluctance to Splurge.

Individuals who’ve experienced financial challenges might delay non-essential purchases, adhering to a “delayed shopping” rule to ensure they’re spending wisely.

4. Working Hard for Small Earnings.

Growing up knowing that consistent income is essential, even if meager, can create a fear of job loss. This fear motivates them to work hard to secure their livelihood.

5. Valuing Possessions.

Developing an attachment to personal belongings is a common trait among those who’ve had to work hard for what they own.

6. Yearning for Miracles.

People who haven’t experienced financial hardship may see winning the lottery or hambling as a way to attain happiness. Those who’ve faced destitution differentiate between urgent needs and unrealistic hopes for miracles.

Agbado people praying for Tinubu policies to favour their papa, their mama and their families.

Agbado people buying N300 fuel for their vehicles.

Agbado people buying half cut corn

Agbado people waiting on miracle palliative alert.

Yoruba man looking clean and smelling nice which is a mirage.

You no get work? Your people are doing well in the place you call Southwest and that is not enough for you? Everyday, at least 50 men bearing Emeka will enter Lagos.

1.:Anxiety about food is a complex psychological issue with little to do with poverty. It can be related to parental anxiety ,especially maternal,. A parenting style that offers a crying infant comfort predictably with the breast or bottle can end up creating problems in later life.
These issues can be transmitted from one generation to another in recognisable patterns.
Mothers end up giving children food or sweets instead of attention and that is why there is a lot of childhood obesity among rich folk and the Western world.
Anxiety in later years could manifest as anorexia nervosa.
2. Saving best for last? What does that mean?
3. Reluctance to splurge? No. Actually that is what poor people do. They always splurge on what they cannot afford or do not need.People raised in wealth who understand money do not need to buy the latest IPhone
4.Working hard for small earnings. This sounds quite dumb. Who chooses that ?
That is the reality of life no one will make that choice. It is like saying poor people are short

5! Valuing Possessions. You are contradicting yourself self. Who said rich people don't work hard? They work hard to get rich and work hard to stay rich. What does valuing possessions mean?
6.Yearning for miracles is down to illiteracy and superstition. The more educated the population the less of that you see.
Rich Nigerians yearn for miracles when they have challenges.That is down to a superstitious mindset fostered by Pentecostal churches and Islamic clerics

This one is using his education to defend poverty. grin

7. Entitlement mentality

People born in poor homes usually believe that they are entitled to the money and possessions of the affluent ones around them.


8. Lack of Appreciation

Poor people are usually ungrateful and can go to the extent of blaming their benefactor for their woes even when they were miserable long before he/she came around.


9. Belief in Juju

Poor people relate every single positive/negative occurrence to the spiritual. They also believe success is attained by juju because they were born into a home where nothing big happened no matter the level of effort put in.


10. Competition

Poor people are highly competitive. This is because they are easily intimidated by everything. A neighbour laughing in his apartment can cause poor people to bring 3 of their lousy friends to disturb the vicinity the next day. A neighbour bringing home a chick for the night can lead to poor man bringing 3 dirty skanks for the next 3 days. The worst is you having anything they don't have. Poor people can compete against a 5KVA generator with an I Pass My Neighbour or their hire purchase Keke Marwa against a 4Runner jeep. When poor people can no longer compete they resort to gossip to try and destroy the reputation of the person they lost to.


Before you fear women, fear poor people.
you are talking like someone from the poor home

No.7

When they are in your house under your care, they can serve you Eba enough to feed 3 people even though you told them you want small. The portions are ridiculously large and would frustrate any weight loss journey.

It is a dead giveaway.

If the girl you are dating does this repeatedly, even when you have complained incessantly, it is a dead giveaway. The reply would be "Just leave the one you can't finish."

It comes from a history of having little to eat and over appreciating it when they have it.

The only thing that can temper such behaviour is to travel overseas to an advanced country for some years, where food is surplus and even wasted and people are economical with food sizes. Also, a society where you can't use meal size portions or chubby body to oppress the hungry horde. It is usually the poor in these society that suffer from obesity the most.

You are very correct with the above analysis.
It is a desease that manifest all through their life.
I know one who lived in abject poverty in his childhood, despite the fact that he now earn very good salary he cannot eat more than #400 food for the whole day. He doesn't have fans in his house and it is only his dining that have a light bulb.
Just to buy a pillow, it took him an hour negotiating and manipulating the seller before he could pay for it.
His salary is about a million per month but he still went ahead to buy 60k phone from EASYBUY.

I also know another one who do not like paying his children school fee even when he has the money, because he do not want his money to finish. When it is time to pay fee he will take them to another school, when that one ask for fee he will withdraw them to another one. That was how the 2 of the children finished secondary school without knowing how to read properly. They are now at home doing nothing.
All what he knows to do is to announce his hunger to the hearing of the who street and swallow garri without control

pansophist:
Being broke is a material state, but being poor is a mental state. Although most poor people are broke, not all broke people are poor. Brokeness can happen to anybody, even millionaires.

But poverty, that one needs deliverance. Poverty affects your character, taste, future, surroundings, friends, hobbies, life choices, partner choices, church choices, career choices, just name it.

Dangote and a broke man can be friends without friction, but to be friends with a poor person is like being friends with problems. Poverty is self-destructive and cannot redeem itself.

A mentally poor person needs a prolong intervention within affluence and affluential people before any hope of redemption can be seen, and that depends on the age of the poor person. Over 40 years old? thats almost a point of no return, then poverty for life is assured.

Poverty, allied with a lack of manners is the deadliest combination a human can possess, and I don't think the blood of Jesus can wash it away. Poverty is bad.

Dear Macron/French Diplomats in Nantes,
It is embarrassing to note of your phonies.

France are loosers while milk Africans with the sole aim of granting visas yet they inadvertently refuse visas to us.

France is highly interested in Africa because of various degrees and components of solid mineral resources in our continent as much as they want to hold their colonized Francophone states at ransom.

Thanks to Bokinafaso , Niger 🇳đŸ‡Ș , Gabon 🇬🇩, Mali đŸ‡ČđŸ‡± etc for their strong đŸ’Ș resolves in displacing France.

France learn to respect Africans and her citizens schengen states isn't heaven.

Thinking there's a vest part of a meal is poor mentality. Most people drink water at the end of a meal, why is water not regarded best part of the meal? Progressive eating has nothing to do with poverty, its just how people eat best. I know people that once they take soft drink before a meal that's it for them, they can't eat anything again so they take it last. Only poor people think that there's a best part of a meal. It's just eating in order not to get tired of the meal desired by your body system.


But I can agree with other points

Poor people make a lot of bad decisions that makes it difficult for them to get out of poverty.

Having many children, spending too much of their meager income on frivolities, voting terrible leaders and so on are stupid decisions that make life harder for them.
