Far from the AC.... There are other things that could inspire you in his write-ups... Maybe you just didn't look closely....

Lol.

Those who like bashing me always hate when I create meaningful posts. They read it while looking for an opportunity to bash me and feel better. The AC was an opportunity for him to attack. It's a sign of insecurity on his part — ordinary AC is considered a show off to him. What will now happen if I post my account balance? He'll faint or at least, become depressed. #Smile.

AlphaGreenz:
This kind of post keeps me going... I'm looking forward to giving my own success story one day here, I want to hit it real big. Thanks iLengend!

Man, even your success story is money. This is why I urge people to stay focus and succeed, then talk about how they did it and turn it to a book and they'll make even more millions from that book alone. I do it a lot. These books below will soon be available.

Legendary post.

Your moniker reminds me of a question a lady asked me in Lagos in 2015.

@ILegend,

Honestly I'm challenged and inspired by your post.

You just won a new follower.

What you shared here isn't different from what world billionaires have always said, [/b] there's always an opportunity around us, we just need to look deep and discover it, [b] only now it is much more clearer assuring.

Right now I feel like a blind man who just regained his sight.

Thanks so much for this. I feel uplifted.

Please I may PM you if the need arise.

God bless you

Glad you were inspired. Sadly, one thing you should know about being inspired is: it expires when no action is taken.

There are lots of people who read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Richest Man In Babylon, etc. but today, they are still poor.

So, being inspired is good, but taking action is better and will always be.

iLegendd:


Try more. You'll get it.

Naahh. I'm done with that section. Since you're not sharing, it's not worth the stress.

@ilegendd d guy's story that inspired u to write dis write-up, inspired me to reactivate my account on nl which empowered me to read ur post. U talk sense, am encouraged by u, fascinated at d twist turn & progression of the true life story. More grease to ur elbow. But If I may ask ::;;;;;why do u like whining peps by posting wat u cook, ur room, ur Couch u dnt need,'''''is it a mindgame.lol

Glad they both inspired you. Why I whine them? You know, these people don't read my sensible posts (I have lots of them, but they don't read them, yet they abuse me of not having sensible posts) — they love the controversial ones, so I give them overdose of what they want until they start gagging and begging for a breathing space.

These same people who hate reading sensible posts are still the ones complaining of lack of sensible posts.

They are just confused on what they want and this gives me the leeway to feed them anything on my mind without feeling empathic.

iLegendd:
One more thing I want you to go home with it is: If you went to school, don't put all your hopes in your certificate.

Don't think it's work you'll use to become wealthy and nothing else even if you went to the best school in the world or you graduated with distinction or first class.

I made this mistake and I suffered it. When I returned to Nigeria some years ago after my university days in one of the top universities in world, I felt like I have arrived.

I booked a flight, Airik Air, and went to Abuja to process my NYSC. Finally, NYSC came and gone and I still felt I'm going to get a cool company job in Total or Agip since these two oil companies are in my community.

Guess what? It never worked — it's not about your certificate, but connection. I had the certificate, but the connection wasn't there.

By the way, the state government handled everything about my school since it was a merit international scholarship. After years upon years of wasting at home and feeling depressed or almost depressed, but still optimistic about life, it hit me harder.

Buhari won the 2015 election and I moved from 3 square meals to 2 and in 2016/2017, I moved to 1 meal a day and drinking of garri. 2016/2017 were the worst years of my entire life. I suffered, cried, and people called me lazy behind my back. In this 2016, with...

Typing...

2016 damn... My worst year too

Yemialade:
Thank you I legend the wise one, more wisdom I pray God grant onto you. Nigerians are known not to give up,we are always strong.
To me o,I go to school to go and learn how to read and write. school na scam. my lecturer told us to go for our masters, then ph.d in order to secure a good job in d labour market.
one day during my 3rd year in school ,my father threatened me say I must study hard in order to have good grades to secure a job after graduation that if I come home with a bad grade, he will disown me.

Yes, I like how you said God should grant me more wisdom, but I also want him to grant me a faithful wife. I heard Nigerian women are not faithful. Is that true?

Masters and PhD? Hmm. Disown you? That is just a threat sha. If I wanted a PhD, I would've gotten it by now, but I declined all the free scholarships that came my way after my Bsc.

A lot of people cussed me for rejecting such opportunities, but I laughed them. As long as God does not have a PhD, but wisdom, all I need is wisdom and a faithful wife (Mary), not PhD.

You don't always need to look for fault. In life, if all you focus on is only looking for a fault, you'll surely find it and more of it.

Nice one Boss

Lol. I'm taking it away from The Kardashians.

So you think lack of money means depression? Stop abusing the word depression, is took heaven for you to mention like that..

No. Lack of money leads to happiness, praise and worship, not depression. #AngryFace.

Made it ke! I have been carrying wheelbarrow since morning looking for people to carry their loads and get paid. If that one is made it, then yes, I have made it.

Indeed you have wisdom.

I used to take things for granted, not until after reading your story. Now I put my all in everything I do. I see things differently as opportunities abound everywhere so I need to be prepared when it shows up.

You're welcome.

As long ad the "hardcore" is not porn, I'm solidly behind you.

Naaaah lol

The intellectual mad man himself never disappoints.

I have always been one of your silent fan, I was also one of your students back then

I must say I was surprised when you started engaging 'em touts and Haters, but I know that there's always a lesson to learn from your posts, even when they come off as a show-off. I just read, smile at the way you engage 'em haters.

Keep up the good work, it keeps most of us going.

Ask...

Tho what I wanted asking,I have make a research about it already. But i'd like to ask before your success story, is it that you make some promotions @ your first published to make some sales? or your hard work pays from the beginning? ....am talking about your publish books. if it's a secret I will understand....... thanks bro

iLegendd:

Lol.

You can't just sit and HOPE a faithful wife will come your way, like it happens in movies. you have to take responsibility for your love life.in finding a faithful wife, you will have to be patient.. I don't know about other women, but there are faithful girls out there.when you take responsibility for your love life, you will find HER.

That, my dear humble readers, is how to chase a goat out of your farm to enable him go improve himself.

Unfortunately, some goats are stubborn breeds and they'll surely come back for more either today or in the future or even with a new moniker.

Just watch.

You are not 4 real

If you are what you claimed, you wont have all the time replying all these niggars and heaping praises on yourself. People who have encountered the real breakthrough are the most silent personalities

bonnyhope:

Replying you with just "Okay," or ignoring you would've been better, but if I do, you'll still come in my subsequent thread to chip in your unsolicited opinion.

I have been here so many times, so let me thrash it with a lecture. I'm using this opportunity to deliver a speech for others to learn (because I know you won't learn).

Why do some of you reason with your ass? Why?

If I become a silent person (just to pretend to have a humble personality and to be "liked" as most of you hypocrites do), how will I make more money? This life is a business and you must do what works for you as long as it's legit.

I made my money by talking and talking, converted the talks to books, then to money, so why should I be silent when I can use this same opportunity to talk more, inspire more, and quadruple my income? Isn't everyone looking for a way to make more income? Now I have found a way to make more money, what is the need being silent?

I can only be silent if I hate money or want to be stagnant with the one I make, but fortunately, I don't. I want more money so I can help silent/poor people.

You probably make your money by silently going to work from Monday to Friday, but others make theirs by talking and talking, then converting the talk to a book for you, the silent work-goer to buy.

Some people (like you) don't even reason before they talk — they just want to be noticed at all cost and the fastest way is to attack with a silly opinion.

William Shakespeare is great today by not being silent. No great man is silent — even Jesus. Those that are silent are mediocre.

You can never be silent if you want to be great, but you can portray silence.

I guess you don't know the meaning of being silent and portraying silence in your personality.

Nelson Mandela portrayed silence, but he wasn't silent.

Yes, you'll get more respect when you portray silence, but you'll lose a lot in life if you become silent. Stop chasing "respect" and lose "impact."

Most Nigerians always love chasing respect, but they don't impact anything to the world and that is why the nation is poor and will remain poor if we continue this way. This is why they love having BIG titles to their names like

Chief
King
Dr.
Prof
Lawyer
PhD holder
Mr/Mrs (everyone wants to get married even when they're broke just to add a Mr/Mrs to their title and gain more respect)
Etc.

A lot of people will become forever poor because they are silent and chase respect. The government is treating you badly, you are silent.

Your boss is paying you 10k per month, you're silent. Your wife is cheating on you, you are silent. Who you dey form for with being silent? Deep down, you're chasing respect and this is where your downfall starts.

God doesn't even want you to RESPECT Him, he wants you to FEAR Him.

Being silent is being a fool. Portraying silence is wisdom. Though, there are times you need to be silent, but in most cases, portray silence, but don't be silent. I guess you lack that and that was why you attacked me.

On the Internet, if you're being silent while secretly making lots of money, you're not being silent or humble, but a  greedy motherf*cker just like Nigerian politicians.

Greedy people always keep quiet and enjoy in silence while the masses suffer — they see it as wisdom. They console themselves by saying, "Silence is golden." Yes, that is true, but not in this type of scenario where you have an avenue to impact the world.

Smart people portray silence, but they are not silent, unlike greedy people who think being silent is humility.

These smart people teach or empower one or two people with their stories from their encounters and at the end, turn all these free stories they shared to books, movies, cartoons, etc. and finally to more money.

These books, movies, cartoons, etc. entertain you, the silent man, stays forever, and generates income from generation to generation. Tom and Jerry cartoon still makes money till date and will make even 100 years from now.

This world would've been a better place if more people open up (even though they don't expose everything). Sadly, your kind, who think being silent and hoarding info is humility are littered everywhere.

When you see someone, the opposite of you, you get angry and start preaching about how the best people with the best breakthroughs have silent personalities.

No no no! They don't have silent personalities even though most are introverts, they just portray silence, but  publish their breakthroughs all over the world for people to read.

Break an introvert's head and go inside and you'll see he or she is not silent. They are always talking in their heads, but afraid to write it down, put it on video, share it online, etc. as I do.

They are afraid of being judged, so they portray silence, but in truth, they aren't silent.

For the outspoken ones, when they have finally used their outspokenness to get all the recognitions and accolades they deserve in life, they finally become silent and chill as the money, fame, wealth, etc. piles up.

This is why Nelson Mandela hardly talks much after he had achieved everything or at least 95% of things.

If Nigeria is as organized and good as South Africa, Soyinka, who I consider to be in a similar league as Mandela, isn't supposed to talk much again about politics.

He is still talking because he wants Nigeria to be great, or as good as Nelson Mandela left South Africa.

When Seûn started Nairaland in 2005, he used to reply everyone, but today, it will be hard for him to reply you. With this, he is portaging silence, but he is not silent about Nairaland.

If I have achieved everything in life and a billionaire in Dollar, not just a Naira millionaire, do you think I'll be here engaging you? No, I'll ignore you. This is the kind of lifestyle you are preaching I should live, but dear, I haven't gotten there.

I don't see millions in Naira as an achievement, but a stepping stone. So, it will be bad for me to become "silent" just because of small millions of Naira. I think beyond that. In your case, that is where your success' limits is.

When I finally get where I want, I can now be silent as you so want me to, but now, keep your opinion to yourself, Mr. Silent Personality.

The Internet is not a place for silent personalities. I like Messi more than Ronaldo, but on the Internet, Ronaldo makes more money than Messi will ever make because he is not silent like Messi. On the pitch, I prefer Messi, but on the Internet, I prefer Ronaldo.

Make some noise to be heard, and when all eyes are on you like 2Pac, "sell them something" and go offline to spend your money with your silent life as you so wish.

All Internet companies or billionaires you see today made some noise in one way or the other and are still making noise, else you wouldn't hear of them.

Saclux paint stopped making noise and today, you'll hardly see it. Closeup stopped making noise and today, other companies have taken over. Wizkid and Davido are not the best musicians in Nigeria, but because they make more real noise, they make more money.

When Burna Boy started making more noise, I mean, real noise, not empty noise, he started making more money too. He can now retire as a legend because he has already made enough real noise while other musicians who don't make enough real noise silently die of envy and jealousy.

Competitors who aren't making much noise and getting much recognitions and sales always get envious. (I guess that is the hidden reason you attacked me, but you'll deny sha).

Deep down, the owner of Twitter gets envious of the owner of Facebook because FB made more noise, gathered more investors, clients, and makes more money.

While making this noise, also make sure you deliver the best product. Empty noise is not allowed, but productive noise is. Try and know the different types of noises and silence we have to understand this better.

Yes, Robert Greene will say, "Always say less than necessary," but he didn't say, "Always be silent." It means talk, but don't talk more than the "sweet truth." This is Internet age and being silent is a disease.

If I had been silent in 2016/2017, I would've been suffering financially just as most of you are currently suffering and begging for alms online and offline. My outspokenness is what is making me smile financially today, so why try to pour sand in my garri by trying to make me stay silent? In fact, you're an indirect enemy of progress.

In the olden days, silence is maturity and wisdom, but it's no longer that way in this Internet age. Nigeria, as a nation is still in the olden age and that's why Nigerians are always shut and silent in calling their leaders to order.

The only time Nigerians are not silent is in abusing people better than them online because of envy or jealousy.

Some of you don't even know the world is changing and that is why you still believe your parents when they tell you to

go to school,
get good grades,
get a job,
buy a cool car,
get a wife,
and have lots of children and boom, you're made.

With this Internet age, you no longer need to go through all that to be made. I can just create a noisy thread today and start adverting something and before the end of today, I'll make more money than most graduates' salaries in Nigeria — that is the power of the Internet and not being silent.

I'll repeat it again: Being silent is for idiots, but portraying silence is for smart people.

Now, I'll like to be an idiot as you want me to and ignore you just to make you happy. The lecture/epistle is already turning to a chapter of a book.

I have too many attackers and trolls already and they use different monikers to counter and abuse me on my threads, so I don't want you to add to the burden.

Kindly read this post and ignore, I no wan argue. I no go reply you again. I know you'll try to act smart and come up with silly opinions, but I won't read and I won't reply. Even if you don't learn anything from this reply, others will.

Thank you and stay blessed.
