Letter To Nigerian Youths! by Olibboy: 4:29am On Jun 04, 2017 |
Throw Away That Degree Otherwise You Will Die Poor
Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor.
Majority of the educated earn less than N55,000
for a salary before tax and other deductions.
When the deductions are put into consideration,
the net salary comes to around N50,000. The
net salary then suffers from loan deductions of
up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around
N35,000. The landlord then demands for his
N15,000 and monthly shopping takes away
N10,000 leaving one with a N10,000. The bus
will demand for N300 going to and from work
and relatives get another N2,500. The whole
salary is gone and borrowed money starts
operating. The borrowed money includes short
loans and salary advances.
The difference between poverty and prosperity
is property. A prosperous person has property to
his name while a poverty stricken person has no
property to show. Using this understanding,
therefore, most of the degree holders are
poverty stricken, borrowing money to buy
chicken and chips, pizza, and a car.
The biggest excuse for getting paid such low
amounts of money and having to sit and work
for another person for 30 days is THE DEGREE
that one possesses and that’s all. This has
made most of the degree holders very poor to
poverty stricken and will die that way most
likely. A degree holder does not know how to
generate money unless that money is generated
for the employer. A degree holder is so
dependent on the salary that he can do anything
to get a job but will not think of starting a
business of his own to employ others.
Interesting Facts!
1. A degree holder is not prepared to sell chips
but is very happy to work for hungry lion
(companies).
2. A degree holder is not prepared to sell
popcorn in the street but is very happy to work
for Dangote outlet in the city and mum river-
sides.
3. A degree holder is not prepared to sell second
hand clothes but is very happy to be employed
by Zenith Bank which the business of selling
stocks and looking for customers in a scorching
Sun.
4. A degree holder is not prepared to make
N150,000 monthly doing his own business but is
very happy to work at the till in a bank getting
paid N25,000.
5. A degree holder is not prepared to start a
company and grow it in two to three years but
will spend three years searching for a job.
6. A degree holder is not prepared to sell food to
students but will be happy to be reporting to a
boss with no qualifications as Office Assistant
as long as he is paid N30,000 for a salary.
7. A degree holder is so eager to get out of this
country and work in another country than spend
time to develop his own country.
8. A degree holder staying in a foreign land
(Nigerian) is very keen to condemn Nigeria but
never contributing to the development of this
country.
9. A Nigerian degree holder would rather sweep
the streets of London or USA than start a
business to make money in her father land –
others work in people’s homes doing some work
(cleaners).
10. A degree holder in Nigeria will watch porn on
his laptop but never sit to write a book using the
same laptop to sell and make money.
11. A degree holder will blame the government
for lack of jobs even after he was on
government bursary for him to have his degree.
12. Nigeria is blessed with young people who
have master’s degree and others are doctors in
different technical fields such as IT and
Engineering but all of them have failed to create
a cartoon character or develop a movie from the
same instead very happy to buy Tom and Jerry
for their children thereby promoting American
and UK.
A school I visit, there is a man that is of very
humble background. He does not speak English
but sells Coke, Fanta and Sprite at N80 each
making a profit of N10 on each drink. He also
sells chips at N50 making a profit of N17 on
each portion. Not less than 80 students buy
chips and a drink every single day. This means
he makes a profit of N27 for a drink and chips
and a total profit of N2,160 per day…every single
day. In ten days he makes a profit of N21,600 in
twenty days N43,200 and in thirty days N64,800.
The degree holder working in a bank at the till
gets a salary of N45,000 every month.
Why are the degree holders poor?
Because they have decided to pride themselves
in a degree and failed to think better than a man
who does not have even a certificate to his
name.
Degree holders spend their time liking articles on
linkedIn and facebook but never have any care in
the world to implement what they like. Poverty
starts from the mind, a mind that just likes
things but never to implement those things.
If you want to progress, keep that degree and
start thinking better than someone without a
degree. There's no white collar Job anywhere
bro!
Be prepared to get your hands dirty and work
like an ox for your business. Your hard work will
pay off.
Yours Sincerely. .. CC: LALASTICLALA |

Success is not dependent on the amount of formal education received but we have so much conditioned our mind to the fact that salary is the answer to the future we deserve |
