i agree ! %1000 grin this is what i ve been asking and debating with the other commentor, instead of been sincere and clear with his Answers like yours he is quoting some contradictory verses from his bible. grin, he also claims that these billionaires successes are bad successes, as it is not God's successes and when asked about pastors who owns 12 mansions and 6 helicopters and 4 Range Rovers, he failed to give me an answer.

good question, the fact is we always point accusing fingers at others without looking at ourselves. this is the kind of person who will have 10 k in the acc but will refuse to give anyone 1k. anyone who is unable to give from the little he has will not give when he has much money.

You are preaching what Jesus, Buddha and many other sages and great thinkers preached centuries ago and many people are still preaching, but capitalism is the only system that can satisfy human greed and bring out the genius ( and evil) in them. If I'm lying ask Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro....their systems failed at the end and bowed to capitalism.

First let me correct your view. I am at all not a PREACHER but a TEACHER who also is very WILLING TO LEARN so as to grow in WISDOM. Hence, teaching using a method of ENLIGHTENMENT that makes people to do their own deduction by themselves using their faculty of reasoning. That is using their head, I hope. Preaching is forcing DOGMA down peoples throat. This I detest!!!

Now, you have mentioned some teachers of TRUTH, hence CLARIFICATION ought to be done. What those teachers of TRUTH you have mentioned taught wasn't how to "SATISFY GREED" but how to GET RID OF GREED and live HAPPILY, in TRANQUILTY and SECURITY even if you have NOT a single DIME in your pocket. The taught RICHNESS of the SOUL, the INNER SELF emancipating it from SUFFERING which the BODY throws at it due to cravings. Cravings which has become today's culture called CONSUMERIST CULTURE courtesy of Capitalism, which FOUNDAMENTAL conception is based on the assumption that there is unlimited wants and limited resources. Hence, the focus of the economy should be on production, producing more and more for people to consume, THE CONSUMERIST CULTURE.

THERE IS NOT SO MUCH FOCUS ON THE RE-DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH. WHICH IS WHAT THE CURRENT STATISTICS IS SHOWING, TODAY. IT IS TOO OBVIOUS THIS GAP THAT ONE NEEDS TO BE NOT AN ECONOMIST TO SEE THAT THERE ARE A FEW RICH AND PLENTIFUL POOR, THIS POVERTY IS OF COURSE AS RESULT OF A DESIGN, A SYSTEM AT PLAY.

With the perception that this capitalism, also known as 'trickle down economics' will focus on prodution as like focusing on increasing the size of cake believing that it will trickle down into the bellies of the hungry. But it is not working that way, the rich are getting RICHER while the poor are getting POORER.


BUT THE TEACHINGS OF THESE TEACHERS YOU HAVE MENTIONED IS NOT DENOUNCING TRADING AND PRODUCTIVITY 'CAPITALISM' NO!!! BUT EMPHASIZE THAT THE PRIVILEGE BE CHARITABLE TO THE LESS PRIVILEGE. COMPASSION!!! *** This that is all that I am saying.

Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the world wide web wrote this on his twitter page.

"Wealth inequality that is already
the most extreme in any
industrialized nation, with three
men – Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and
Warren Buffet – owning as much
as half of the entire American
people. @FordFoundation #

Like Tim, this is going to the extreeme.Hence a further CLARIFICATION , as to how those teachers you have mentioned, perceptions' and goals is wider in range and focus on the COMMON GOOD of all and not on few 'GREEDY' individuals exploiting the lot. 

You must agree with me that Capitalism has never satisfied greed, NEVER and can NEVER ever satisfy GREED!!! One of its characteristics is to make profit even if it means DEATH. We think all this wars around the world KILLING INNOCENT LIVES is not driven by making PROFIT at the deteriment of others? All you need to first check out is the bugdget for security and which companies are benefiting from the chaos around the world. That is an example of BRUTAL CAPITALISM at play.

The founding fathers of this concept of economic system such as Adam Smith did put human sympathy in the projection of this ideology. Its not so today!!! IT IS GREED ALL THE WAY. A CLASS WAR FARE BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR, OF WHICH THE RICH ARE MOST CONSCIOUS OF THIS WAR BECAUSE THEY ARE THEY CREATOR OF IT. MOST OF THE POOR DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SO DUMBSIFIED, BY BULLSH!T NARRATIVES.

Capitalism is an out-crop of modern civilization , SECULARISM"owning to its desires to reduce everything to the measure of MAN AS THE END IN HIMSELF (Rene Guenon Crisis of the Modern World). 

But these teachers teaching is not a reduction of everything to man as the end in himself but beyond man, the realms of life in this world, to the after life which is what these teachers of enlightenment teach. There goals is not the same with Stalin and e.t.c the communist movement.

"And what is the origin of suffering? It is the craving which bring renewal of being, is accompanied by delight and lust in this, delight in that, that is craving for sensual pleasures........". (The heart of Buddha's teachings: Transforming suffering into peace, joy liberation)

A consumerist culture a.k.a CAPITALISM creates nothing but LUST for senual pleasures, craving for this, craving for that, MATERIAL THINGS a soul never SATISFIED. Pornography for example is just an out-crop of brutal capitalism that gives no Fvcks except about profit. It is so bad that CAPITALISM is what is practiced today in the CHURCH. Money! Money! Money! NOT COMPASSION FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN. How really has Nigeria's pastors who are among the wealthest in the world helped the ECONIMIC situation of this country?!! Not SALVATION the preach anymore but CAPITALISM IN THE CHURCH, EXTORTION. I have not exonorated they Imams too.

"The deeper one SINKS INTO MATTER, the more the element of division and opposition gain force and scope, and contrarwise, the more one rises toward PURE SPIRITUALITY, the near one approaches the UNITY which can only be fully realized by consciousness of universal principles" (Rene Guenon, Crisis of the Modern world)

These teachers of TRUTH taught balance. Such as by Jesus Christ. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" Matthew 4:4.

The balance here is BREAD for the body and WORD OF GOD for the soul. Word of God of-course which is always instructing the RICH to help the poor and needy. For it is through giving in charity that the stain of greediness is weeded out from the soul, not by ACCUMULATING WEALTH EXCESSIVELY!!!
You may continue your reading with my recent post to checked out below. I wrote it before this one. Cheers. IntertedHammer

I understand you perfectly now, especially the last paragraph . In Islam once you have at least 650k in cash for 12 months you have to pay a little percentage of your wealth to a poor person(just one person)but someone like Dangote for instance cant pay cos of his amount of wealth. Mind you, giving to people is different from giving ZAKAT. Giving is not compulsory but ZAKAT is.

God dey sha

I hope to explain very, very DEEPLY as soon as I have the energy to do so. You see checkedout. Anybody who have  systematically withdrawn themselves from the matrix that powers our vortex called planet Earth. Meaning anybody who has DELIBERATELY blotted out ALL PRECONCEPTION, INDOCTRINATION and EDUCATION with which he or she have been PROGRAMMED right from birth. So as to RE-PROGRAM his or her mind based on EVIDENCE, a SEARCH for what is actually the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, a step by step DISCOVERY of what really our world is and about and NOT what people have told us to believe right from birth, or narratives by the media, a re-examination of these preconception for COMFIRMATION so as to become a CONVICTION and not as its a DOGMA forced down our throats. Such a CONSCIOUSLY AWOKEN MIND will tell you how much  UNTRUTH rules this world we are living in. Ideologies and beliefs that are nothing but LIES, a fabrication of Fallacies of Compositions.

The major reason why I started my suggestion with that people have to start using their heads. People have been so programmed right from birth to take pride over what NEVER was their own discovery. Hence, they are but BLIND FOLLOWERS.

"Both Stalin and Hitler (and ruthless Religious leaders) used BLIND FAITH as a device for mechanizing souls". (Eric Hoffer, Reflection of the Human Condition)

As to your understanding of Zakat and how you have applied it to "but somebody like Dangote CAN'T pay because of his amount of wealth" is INCORRECT. For such wealth as Dangote's, his Zakat is not meant for an individual alone but a distribution of it to so, so many NEEDY PEOPLE as to emancipate them from POVERTY. These people after becoming STABLE and WEALTHY as years pass by also pay their own Zakat according to the abundance they have been blessed to less privileged who they once were like them, POOR.

Of course you are correct when you said Zakat is not the same as giving. Giving is called SADAQAH in other words CHARITY, or KINDNESS. ZAKAT is actually a system of WEALTH redistribution in the society and with evidence in human history, that practiced it STRICTLY and SINCERELY. Which worked PERFECTLY, solving ALL their societial problems.

"Were history mainly a record of accidental and deliberate experiments performed on mankind, it would be to an understanding of human nature what laboratory experiments are to an understanding of nature. Such a history could be an aid to an understanding of ourselves" (Eric Hoffer, Reflection on the Human Condition)

By historical records it worked perfectly.
Don't worry, I will do my best to find time for ENLIGHTENMENT.

Let me leave you with one or two BULLSH!T narratives to ponder about.

Ask yourselve, if Democracy is a system of government of, for, by ,the people how come the people are the ones mostly living below the BREADLINE while their leaders they voted to serve them for example SENATORS in Nigeria are living fat like PIGS. Whose government is it? The people's or for just a few individuals?! So likewise is the running of such economic system as CAPITALISM which ensures INEQUALITY, the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer inside a system, Democracy that professes to ensuring EQUALITY. Is that sane?

Read what the brain behind the invention of the World Wide Web wrote on his twitters account, recently about the CAPITAL OF DEMOCRACY, the United States of America.

"Wealth inequality that is already
the most extreme in any
industrialized nation, with three
men – Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and
Warren Buffet – owning as much
as half of the entire American
people." Tim Berners-Lee

And by FACT, an average American is a DEBT SLAVE. So think not that my using Nigeria is a misplaced judgement.

"IRRATIONALITY MANIFEST IN UPHOLDING WORD AGAINST THE EVIDENCE OF THE EYES.CHILDREN, ...REMEMBER FAR LESS WHAT THE HAVE SEEN THAT WHAT THEY HAVE HEARD" (Eric Hoffer, Reflection on the Human Condition)

It is left for us as ADULTS to verify what we were told as children with the evidence of the eyes if they are TRUTH or UNTRUTH. It is treading this path that leads to ENLIGHTENMENT and its only this path that leads to FREEDOM which is not mere a ILLUSION.

Ask me, what is the evidence of my own eyes? And I will tell you that we are living in a world of MODERN SLAVERY, those FEW WEALTHEST are our MASTERS who not only have too much money but have CONTROL over our minds, through their inventions and e.t.c. Hence, our MENTALITY is in their hands not by their forcing us but by our own choice to. For people keep refusing to use their own head to THINK but have subject themselves to be PUPPETS to be pulled at will by the MASTERS OF MANKIND who are such CRUEL humanbeings because of their GREED.  

"Man is godlike when he makes nature pliable and responsive, but becomes an ANTI-GOD when he turns human beings into a plastic mass that he can knead at will. FOR GOD TURNED CLAY INTO MAN, WHILE THE ANTI-GOD TURNS MAN INTO MALLEABLE CLAY". (Eric Hoffer, Reflection on the Human Condition)

Today life is so MEANINGLESS to uncountable poor all because the live below the breadline, while just a fraction of the net world's most richest 100 in the world can solve their problems, 'OUR' problems 4 times over. This POVERTY of course is an out come of dysfunctional systems that propels our world.

"One wonders whether boundless, all embracing compassion for our fellow creatures might not enable us to tackle the apparently insoluble problems of a time of drastic, rapid change. Up to now, whenever a society turned a new leaf it had the devil at its elbow". (Eric Hoffer, Reflection on the Human condition).

Good Morning, I wish you a splendid day. Try to put smiles on peoples faces if that is to difficult for you, at least wear a sincerely smiling face.

ARTIFICIAL POVERTY is what we are talking about here as a result of an economic system that has not put into consideration wealth Distribution. Hence, bridging the gap and not the EXTREEME WEALTH INEQUALITY that statistics has shown. Have you ever tried to do a case study on WEALTH DISTRIBUTION in Libya before its Distruction and the system that ensured such a high standard of Living?! It is not Impossible to bridge the gap between that poor and the rich. History has proven so. Its about reducing poverty to the barest. In our contemporary world Libya is a very good example that is before Gadafi was murder. When you throw away sentiment and be objective the picture is clear. We are talking compassion here.

how i made my first million with a machine that pounds fufu

To make wealth, it all starts from your mind,followed by your action!!
I got a cassava pounding machine that pounds fufu and yam ,and this has increased my sales and yield money which has made me know what it takes to be rich and happy

I graduated from federal university of owerri,and after school the first year Of my life was hell. I had no money to pay my bills and life was just rough. ..so I went into construction and was taught how to produce and repair heavy machines used for pounding fufu,Yam,etc WHICH makes life easy and saves time and energy instead of pounding manually.

It was a mind blowing experience as I found the secret of making such machines.
The first week after construction ,I bought already processed cassava,cooked them and pounded it with my machine, I wrapped it with the help of my mother and we distributed it to d market,restaurant,hotels,weeding events etc..it sold fast and the next week I pounded 3bags in just an hour.I have made lot of money, and as I speak I have ten people working and distributing my fufu products for me..people come to my house to order for it and that stopped all the frustated struggle towards becoming rich

I have machines for sale as I speak, I will also train you on how to produce and distribute your product to any area you desire to sell it..I will also teach you how and where to get already processed cassavas.this machine pounds fufu (cassava) as quick as anything and its far more better than the manual way(mortar pounding)

most nairalanders are now using this machine to make money for themselves as have taught them how to increase wealth without stressing much.

I am creating a platform to make fufu pounding with this machine a high business in Nigeria,where youths can be self employed with no stress..all you need is get the machine and I will show you the next step to make more cash

Re: World's Richest Became ₦360 Trillion Richer In 2017(Photos) by macaranta(m): 7:21pm On Dec 29, 2017
WORDWORLD:



First my suggestion is that people need to start using their HEAD. Education is not just about how to read and write but how to THINK. Only few are using their HEAD because they are so DUMBSIFIED by BULLSH!T NARRATIVES. Of course it starts with using our head. What am i saying if not a world of people who have been made to conform to STUP!DITY how can you be practicing a system of government called DEMOCRACY which an article of its faith is EQUALITY while running the same government with an economic system that breeds INEQUALITY?!

My first suggestion is that people should start using their head. That brain is not a lump of salad cream inside their head. It is meant for THINKING.

Serious campaign is going on such as by oxfam which i have included their link as to call the attention of these privilege individual as to their responsibilites. FOR WITH PRIVILEGES COMES A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY. For its a trend that really needs to change but it won't change unless we stop viewing our world through strictly the lens of MATERIALISM throwing away our SPIRITUALITY.

What am I saying?! Now without being BIAS at all but objective. I choose to explain using ISLAM as a form of spirituality here with reference to the RICHEST MAN in Africa as well as the RICHEST BLACK MAN who is a Muslim and name is DANGOTE. According to ISLAMIC LAW the rich is meant to pay what is called ZAKAT (tax to the poor) yearly ought of the abundance of wealth at his disposal. If we go by a strict calculation of what Dangote alone out to be paying as ZAKAT every year. Hmmm............POVERTY will say bye in a short period of time using Nigeria my point of emphasis. While these wealthest are mostly not Muslims what ever spirituality encourages giving. Hence unless we lighten up that spirit of the love for our fellow being. COMPASSION ALL THE WAY!!! NOT COMPETITION.



I believe in equity not equality... Wealth spread can never be the same.
Someone wakes up in the morning, lazy around all day doing nothing other than humanize, drink, smoke, watch TV etc while some other person toils all day, spends sleepless nights working on something that eventually turns out successful and you now expect the later to finance the former in the name of ending poverty? I understand the underlying goodwill in the suggestion, however it's not feasible. Wealth is a reward for smart work... If we all sit and depend on the Sucessful to help the poor, no body will work again we'd all wait for handouts.

The observable FACT in that picture is the REALITY called 'THE IRONY OF LIFE' which if properly UNDERSTOOD and embraced will make HUMAN SOCIETY enjoy SECURITY and TRANQUILITY.
 
So, what is this IRONY OF LIFE? 

Can you see those boys with STREET SACKS?!
What about those other boys with SCHOOL BAGS?! 

Hmmm!!!

Did you also observe that they mostly are of same age grade?!

So, what is this 'IRONY OF LIFE'?!

The 'IRONY OF LIFE' is this, some people are born with SILVER SPOON in their mouth while others are born not even with a CLAY SPOON in their mouth. Infact they are born SPOON-LESS.

To be born with a silver spoon in one's mouth, means being born by WEALTHY PARENTS. Of which this wealthy parents through whom they came to this world is of NO MERIT of theirs, not by their choice but a PRIVILEGE to be born by them. Or was it you who chose your parents from heaven? While the MULTITUDE born not even with CLAY SPOON, just like those STREET KIDS holding SACKS, came to the same world through NO FAULT of their own. I hope you are beginning to grasps some insight here. It all starts and ends with nothing but PRIVILEGES! You think it is all about hard-work? Hmm!!! Am only giving you a little insight as to the order of things so as to make you reflect as to catch up with an holistic view of our REALITIES, if you have DEPTH.

The picture illustrates a class of the RICH and the POOR.

So, what am i calling OUR attention to?

What ever PRIVILEGES at our disposal should NOT make us become ARROGANT, PUFFED  UP WITH PRIDE, A FOOL, with the thoughts that we are BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE but should make us WISE AND HUMBLE and always ready to DISCHARGE our DUTY to those who not by their fault have fallen by the way side.

We should NEVER MISUNDERSTAND our  observation of that picture in itself, to think LIFE IS UNFAIR. It has NEVER EVER been unfair. Its WE, HUMANS who have always been UNFAIR to one another.
 

So, without COMPASSION for one another, there be no SANE society but CHAOS as it is today due to GREED and LACK of SYMPATHY. The doctrine of, 'ALL FOR ME' instead of 'ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL'. 

By principle, almost everything about our existence is on an EQUILIBRUIM which is the simultaneous actions of TWO CONTRARY tendencies. Good and Evil, Man and Woman,  The Wise and the Foolish,  Young and Old, The Healthy and the Sick. The existence of the Rich and Poor is at all not an arbitrary design. They are meant to compliment each other. It is about STRIKING a reasonable balance, of which the man who sweeps the street is not envious of the C.E.O of a mulitinational corporation because he is able to live far, far above the BREAD-LINE hence life makes meaning to him.   

Anyone who is so privileged , should always know that their CHANCES of getting to positions where they become in control of others lives is wider compared to the chances of the less privileged to be able to STAND FOR THEMSELVES. And except the PRIVILEGED live up to their RESPONSIBILTIES of making the right CHOICES for the ARMY OF THE MULTITUDE POOR to have a reason to be HAPPY.

There will be no stability. Do you know what caused the French revolution? It was the way the rich treated the poor. Yes! It was bread, food to their EMPTY stomach that ignited the spark.

Its also an irony of life that those kids in that picture whose teacher is the STREET may end up running WALL STREET. (In great positions of power)   

The WORST OF IRONY is that the POOR mostly forget their ROOTS when the become RICH and POWERFUL, hence standing for themselves alone in GREED, the doctrine of 'ALL TO MYSELF'. Less privileged they once used to be, POOR and now they deny the  POOR after having abundance. That is being UNGRATEFUL.

GRATITUDE IS THE KEY TO TRUE HAPPINESS. NONE CAN BE TRUELY HAPPY IF THEIR HAPPINESS IS NOT DERIVED FROM MAKING OTHERS HAPPY.

Except this is what we are being taught in schools couple with the education that a good life is the one inspired by LOVE FOR TRUTH guided by SINCERE quest for knowledge in order to make life MEANINGFUL to all by placing NO VALUE ABOVE LIFE.OUR EDUCATION IS WORTHLESS!!!

MAKE THE BEST USE OF YOUR PRIVILEGES. NOT MANY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUCH. SO, ABUSE IT NOT AND DO NOT BE PART OF THE CLASS WAR FARE, OF THE RICH THAT OPPRESSES THE POOR. THINKING THAT IT WILL MAKE A LAZY LOT OF THEM BY SHOWING KINDNESS. A LOT ARE FAR SMARTER, FAR MORE HARD WORKING BUT ARE JUST NOT PRIVILEGED.

THIS RESPONSE IS JUST A TIP OF THE ICE-BERG AS TO WHAT I REALLY WANT TO REPLY YOU FOR WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING 'THE IRONY OF LIFE' WE WON'T GRASP AN HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE AS TO THE ORDER OF THINGS.

Can we have a minute silence to mourn the fuel wasted in the course of the president son accident.
I am not showing any empathy for the president son because his life is not different and special than thousands of people killed indiscriminately under his father watch.
But to waste precious fuel during this scarcity.......

That's some bleeped up shiiit.



Rant over



Is the president of their country the same clueless guy that led them into recession in the 1970s to 1980s


Do they have to contend with epileptic power supply, lack of credit facilities, insurgency which might limit the economic opportunities in a country, corruption nko?


Look around the country and tell me how a low class citizen can be rich in this country without compromising on his moral standards.


Mr Man, Nigeria is a hell on earth.
Never ever compare what's obtainable abroad to this shithole
