Growing up, I have seen things and I have also experienced some. Life is full of mysteries and most of them are accompanied by experiences that each one of us must at one point or the other pass through. It is no doubt we have been preached to, admonished and encouraged in one way or the other.

But nonetheless, it may never settle with us historically except we experience them ourselves to be able to tell the tales that follows.


Every one of us wished success will just locate us and hit us very hard that we may heave a sigh of relieve and say, 'I don hammer'. Our minds were later disabused when they told us that, we can only attain success by hard work and perseverance.

The latter line of principle is generally spoken and widely accepted. But I think there is something so cunningly avoided by many, that we have not been told. Truth be told, Most of all the truths we have been told about life, does not exist. They are mere fables, preached by elites, imposed on the gullible and accepted generally by the ignorant.


Let's get down to what I want to say without wasting your precious time. It is basically this, 'hard work without the Proper Connections in Place, you are most assuredly wasting your energy'. I so believe that as there as so many ways to kill a man which does not even equal the few ways we know to make love, so also are there many ways to 'Work Hard' and they don't equal or lead to success.

Virtually all the things I have gone through have been because; there was somebody that knows somebody that knows someone and so it is for everybody. So in essence, if you have something to offer to people, your prayer should be for you to meet that somebody that knows another person to give you the opportunity to showcase what you've got. A celebrity I followed posted something on his page about how God has helped him to scale through, a fan who has understood the 'LINES' "based on the basis" asked him also to help him get connected to people that will allow him sell what he has.


I am not in any way trying to tell anybody to stop working and start looking for connection. No. You must have worked and mastered and art before seeking relevance. This post and most of my previous post which I will list at the end of this post, do align to one basic principle, "Prepare yourself first before you seek to announce your availability".

What am trying to point out is that you must seek to get connected. IN the Bible, Jesus after talking about tax collectors and their seemingly evil ways in Luke 16, he points something very glaring in Verse 9.

 Go check it out and seek the meaning of what He was saying.


If you have read this post, don't rush out without telling us your views. We love to hear your own side of the story!

God will connect us to the right people

Besides working hard, they will say only few were born with silver spoon but now am trying to steal one. They say we are the leaders of tomorrow just for us to find these aged men ruling. They say hardwork is the key to succes but it seems our politicians have changed the padlock. Sincerely i'm tired of Nigeria i'm going to Ibadan.

In my short life span in Nigeria, working hard is not enough, thinking smart and getting connected to the right people is more than important.

90 percent of jobs in Nigeria is gotten through connection.

But the connection is not gotten just like that, there are prices to be paid.

Attend conferences and events, if you see free ones attend, else pay over the odds to attend, the paid events are better because most free events are not attended by the real people in the society.

Be a social being by attending social functions, attend functions where elites are likely to be there.

Then on a final note, package yourself. I don't believe completely in that statement that says " my goal is to be rich, not to look rich". Bros this is Nigeria, the elite you are trying to connect to, would not accept you if on the first impression he is having at you is that you are poor and needy, that would be the first big turn off.

So package yourself both in dressing and in speech, don't act clingy and needy.

May Jah bless all of us

And this mentality keeps killing us and has placed us light years behind civilization. Why do we feel too entitled? Black americas are the same, they are the poorest group in america because they sit at home do nothing and complain that the govt is racist against them, meanwhile blacks from everywhere else go there and become successful.

You do not need any connections to be successful, Not at all. Your success is not tied to anyone. All that you need to succeed are within your power. Look at ALL the wealthiest people of the world, they had goals and were determined to stop at nothing to achieve it.

There are so many sectors of our economy which are dead. Everyone mustn't have white collar jobs. There are agencies that are willing to assist people in agriculture for just a meagre sum. You can even lease a plot of land for about N10k yearly. Seeds cost less than N5k for a start.The only other things you will need are security and a tank for water supply on the farm and you're good to go.

Truth...

My brother this job matter done tire person
The worst part na say even people wey dem born with silverspoon go still get mouth dey advise me to work hard

Okay. Nice write up.

I didn`t read it tho.

hard work n connection pays but u must work hard on d right things not barrow pushing.

God is your biggest connection

Entrepreneurship ti take over

given up

I quiet agree with op.. Hardwork doesn't equal success. What makes you successful is your smartness and ability to take hold of an opportunity when they surface. My motto have always been, success doesn't happen by accident. You really have to work hard for it, coupled with smartness.

If success is by working under rain and sun, then these block industry guys should be richest in the world. For me, i'm very lazy.. But I'm financially free today, not because I am hard working, but because I'm smart working

Visit www.entmirror.com let's talk business and success.

Hardwork doesn't pay again!

Hardwork died longtime ago...Softwork it is now

Instead of being proficient and dedicated to the works of your hand, you are looking for connection? How connected olamide? Be good at what you do, and leave the rest

Okay, we hear

The loophole between hardwork and suceess is privledge

"Connection" one of the most abused words just like the words "love and God." @OP, you're correct, many people do fail to understand the importance of the axiom "he who comes into equity must come with a clean hands," and as such they fail to apply it in waking life endeavors. The only feasible way to get connected is to firstly prepare yourself - make yourself an asset - and of course imbibe the simple principle of earning to share with associates and not eating/trying to eat from associates.

My brother, connection will take you to any length you wish this days in Nigeria.

I brought a guy into a business. Today the guy has gone farther than me with his connections.
I can't believe as a graduate am begging a guy who didn't go to school but live large to help me talk to his in law who is a top staff in NLNG to help get me a job in NLNG, even if its a contract job.

My brother in this present nigeria connection pays more than hard work.

I would rather work smart than working hard. Hard work can give u food but working smart will give u a fortune #team smart.

"Hardwork Pays" and "We are d Leaders of tomorrow" are d 2 greatest lies ever told in dis country.. Dats Apart from "Change" APC promised
