This could be as a result of their star being blocked!

Parents should ensure that their 'gifted' children are adequately protected:
* Stop bragging with your neighbors or family members of how intelligent your child is
* Hard work should be rewarded. Any of your child doing exceptionally well should be encouraged with gifts
* Pray for your child. They also require your blessings of protection

If you are in this category of adults, just know that your life has been hacked, & you need a divine intervention

What can be done to remedy a situation like this

candlewax:
That's what I call FATE. No be everybody go make money buy Benz, some go still depend on others till they die

Well even if we can't buy Benz & build big mansion, I pray we have enough to Carter for ourselves, Family & friends. Amen

wrong, man. Name 3 extroverts in the top 10 richest list.

If you can provide a solution for the needs of many and charge them for it, you'd get rich. Simple as that. Many intelligent persons do not solve any real world problems, or some provide solutions no one needs.

to each, his opinion

Money... Noting else.. Na disgrace way lack of money dey cause. Nor worry you go get am too much.

Jayhazard:

Have you also considered the possibility of these circumstances as physical manifestations of spiritual manipulations?

- Nutrition
- Change in pedagogical techniques.
- Peer pressure
- Financial difficulties
- Medical issues
- Etc.

Kindly share on how the above are physical manifestations of spiritual manipulations?:

I used to be this bright child but I must confess I have not achieved anything as an adult .Dreams are turning nightmares .They said we should get skills that certificate is not enough,got some IT skills etc but none is getting me close to my dream .My talent just there wasting ,depression setting and no one seems to believe in you anymore .It is heartbreaking.

You are doing well. Don’t give up on those dreams. You only found yourself in the wrong environment. Don’t let depression get the better of you. In th end, we shall have a great testimony

One word for you. Don't give up.

yes, opinion not fact. If you state opinions like they are facts, the least you can do is back them up.

There are more introverts in the top 10 richest list, yet extroverts are the ones that make it in the world. Well done sir.

Success is not tied to credentials but potentials,a man's greatest potentials is in his ability to overcome himself

.What said may not be far from the truth. So you need to pray very hard, really hard. If you are a Christian look for a charismatic Rev Father or a pastor whose source of power is not in question.

We talking about overall success in life.

in Africa things like dis hapn weda u bliv it or yes
Thy is sense in wat op said.

This is why people who do not possess certain qualities should not get jealous of those who do, and those who do should not look down on those who don't. Life is so unpredictable! You can't tell where you'll end tomorrow. No matter how much you try to do things in your power, external factors will always be involved. Nothing dey this life mehn!

majekdom2:
These words will help you: life, destiny, fortune and opportunity. You can only get rich when you solve people’s problem not because you are brilliant. There is a clear difference between knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom is the correct application of this knowledge. Having knowledge and understanding can be taken as brilliance but the application of this brilliance is what makes for wealth. Wisdom makes great not brilliance.

Absolutely! You become successful only when you are able to solve people's problem...

Life isnt all about cash but contentment. Be guided!

My brother don't ever take this advice! They'll end up milking the little money you have.

So bro bliv u me,some days wat will be will be.

chiefolododo:
Most times na village people dey cause am

Village people are wicked, but God pass them.

Some people don't take their chances when they see it.

It has nothing to do with being smart as a kid or not.

The Bible says, the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong but that's the way of men to reason.

davillian:
The thing is that life doesn't present everybody with the same opportunity.
Such people might not have the opportunity to even attend the university.
I have people who lost their sponsors in the university and had to work while schooling and in most case it will affect their grades that doesn't mean they dont know anything.
I believe its by opportunity ,connection and Gods favour one can be come successful .

I know someone who resigned from banking to trade, lost everything but his house. Now the once upon a time bright son couldn't concentrate in class due to frequent harassment of fees; dropped out of school at 300L, now I heard he's into a 144000 per annum job.
So pathetic.

Na wa o!

aboyaji:
Spiritual attribution to some natural happenings can't be much emphasized. I am a victim of all these aforementioned and a lot of friends I have are too.

Inhibition itself should not be ignored in this regard. Fear of the unknown, self constraints, very spiritual family background. All the listed play a very big role in a child's disposition.

Almost 3 of my friends are facing this same fate. Very brilliant, highly knowledgeable. I'm not exaggerating. They are all graduates with 2.1, 2.2 and all but nothing much on their side.

Is it English or laws of physics and mathematics and all Albert Einstein's notations we come this world for?

Is it watching other people's car zoom pass us or looking at big mansions and salivating that we come to see?

Is it solving university problems for undergraduates and correcting every m]stakes and impressions and following the main Oga behind like dog in a bid to get daily chopins like 1k or 2 we come for?

Most times, it's the extroverts that make it in this world. Parents should balance the weighing scale they use while raising a child.

Thanks.

you are so fucking correct bro! Growing up,I was seen as one of d best students in school. In fact,I was so good that I practically made other parents who had hoped their wards would take first position in class a pipe dream. But today eh, even d otondos r doing better than I am. truth is,as far as u are a Nigerian and u live here, u r likely to be disappointed in life,cos in Nigeria,success is determined by smartness and not necessarily intelligence. This is why I always regrets not travelling abroad(Australia) when I had d chance in my second year. Nigeria destroyed my.

You can't believe I have gone back to learn phone repair from a guy who didn't even finish jss3 and even older than him. I just need money to push my dream and I can never steal or do anything that will tarnish my name .I just want to succeed in life .

Like me when I finished secondary school back then I decided to learn pastry at candy bakery's at kofo aboyomi .
I gained admission and left the whole training after two years people we started it with were already hot cakes for top hotels on the island and were making it big time in the industry with plenty f9 on their ssce .

Don't relent bro, we all have different time frame. cuz it ain't working out today, doesn't mean tomorrow will be the same. stay positive bro.

Being academically smart is not a sign of success, especially in this information age. They felt entitled and didn't put enough effort in ignoring school smartness.
