It was a decision you took to open this thread out of numerous threads.. Decisions can either lead you into a lifetime of happiness or regrets..

You can never get rich in life through making POOR DECISIONS. Staying broke is a reflection of your POOR DECISIONS .Becoming rich is a reflection of your RICH DECISIONS..

You graduated with one of the best grades but still no job yet after a long while and u keep on saying that, u want to work in a well paying company or nothing else, That is is a POOR DECISION. Why don't u think of how to source for capital and invest it in an idea that can give u a source of income while still aiming for that job. That is a RICH DECISION

Because u are a graduate and you have a Nysc certificate, Then u start feeling like some menial jobs, are not meant to be done by u, even if it could be a steady source of income for u ? That is a POOR DECISION .

You are born and raised in a poor home and u keep telling yourself that if your parents were wealthy, you would have had a better life.. That is a POOR DECISION instead tell yourself this, I grew up in a poor home but my own children must not grow up in a poor home. That is a RICH DECISION.

Your parents are finding it hard to send u to school and even to feed u as their child is hard for them and u are silently asking yourself why God decided to put u in that family, That is a POOR DECISION Instead tell yourself this, GOD put me in this family so that i can change the story of my parents for good, That is a RICH DECISION.

In Summary.. your mind is the engine, The decisions u make is the fuel that would either power the engine through the destination to a Life u dream of..

Please here is an illustration below and please using Lagos and Akwaibom is just an illustration not that I mean u re in Lagos going to Akwa Ibom :

You are in Lagos YOUR PRESENT SITUATION) and your destination is Akwa Ibom (THE LUXURY KIND OF LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE) ,Ur Life is the Car, Your mind is the engine, your decisions is the fuel that would power the engine which is your life to your destination. if u buy just 2 litres of fuel (POOR DECISIONS) It can never take your car (YOUR LIFE) to reach your destination Akwa Ibom (THE LUXURY KIND OF LIFE U WANT TO LIVE)

13. The rich see money as a tool, their money works doe them. The poor see money as a goal, they work for the money.

14. The rich has cash producing assets (eg factories), the poor are the factory workers themselves.

15. The rich are adaptable and formless, the poor are stiff and get irrelevant with time.

I am not broke,but a lot of Nigeria youths are broke because opportunity abounds less in this nation, the value of human labor is so poor, the recompense for labor is so competitive, that people take home can barely take them anywhere, a lot of ideas but no support system to help the youths, I have a brother who stayed broke in naija for years,but immediately he migrated to a caring and sane society like Australia, he is constantly boxed up and has alot of investment here to shoe for it, a society that enforces equality promotes labor rights,have a well structured wage pattern and income level, where millions are not poor at the expense of a few corrupt individuals, where the govermnent puts the interst of its people first genuinely,where you don't need to work as an elephant and eat as a ant, except for just a few privileged ones in this country, most people are broke due to reasons beyond immediate control, but last last just keep hustling, you might be lucky,and get a big break

So some people are actually broke and think they are rich!

You can feed yourself can you feed a family if you have one?

You drive a car, can you buy another one in 2 months if they steal the current one.

You pay your rent, if eventualities come that require you to leave immediately, can you afford to rent a new one?

There's a need for a urgent surgery on your loved one or you, can u foot the bill without calling family n friends or checking paylater app?

Most people are broke in Nigeria. They are just growing not really developing.

It could be decisions but most times it is the system. Backgrounds Play major roles in whatever decisions one make.

Environmental factors too.

All this are just motivational stuffs that are put in books and used to deceive people. The problem with them is that they are vague.

For instance, sample some civil servants on the same salary scale and you would find that there are wealthy civil servants as well as struggling ones. Then dig further, and you might find that the wealthy civil servants became wealthy from receiving bribes and aiding in the diversion of funds and even assisting with budget padding. The poor ones might be the honest civil servants who don't have the courage to engage in shady businesses.


Look at all those billionaires that made money through Ponzi schemes. Of course, Ponzi scheme is an opportunity to get rich. But it is a fraud. Yet, some people saw opportunity in Ponzi schemes and became rich. Some people saw problems with defrauding people and refused to be billionaires from creating Ponzi schemes.
