That's true .... how can one man hold the lives of Millions in his Hands and determine their fortune ............

That itself is Dirtiness .................

Do you know how many people that are poor today simply because Dangote, Elumelu, Adenuga etc must stay Wealthy at all cost no matter what the economy says Boom or Doom

That itself involves Manipulation and Cheating.

But they all call it Smartness ......

Whereas it all involved Dealings .... In financial cycle they call it

insider dealing: Ability to be privy to beneficial information before it gets to public ......

I wanna be Wealthy too so I know what it is !

This is a very interesting question.

I recently watched an interview with Obi Cubana where he said that integrity is one of the most important skills required for success in business

What I will say is that if you look at wealthy people of the likes of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, while they don't directly take part in dirty deals of the sort you mentioned, they look for ways to suppress competitors by any means

I recently chatted with a former senior executive of Microsoft and he told me that their Edge browser is pretty much a duplicate of Google Chrome. They copied the exact same code. Not a dirty deal but it is cheating in a way

Speaking of Jeff, Amazon cannibalize their competitors. They either try to buy them over and if they disagree, they put them out of business by driving costs down and so on

Dangote runs monopolies. Microsoft Windows was also a monopoly for years which contributed immensely to Bill's wealth

So, my point is that, to win a big market share and become wealthy, business men need to find a way to undercut their competitors. Now, is this illegal? No, it's not. Their tactics are legal, yet they may not seem ethical

You cannot be a good Samaritan and become wealthy. You'll have to pull some strings in ways that may not seem ethical. Yet, the wealthy tend to be very hard working, very intelligent, very wise, and so on. They also have very high levels of personal growth. They see the world and think very differently compared to average citizens. Their character is also very different. All this contributes to their extreme success

FYI, I'm not talking about criminals and politicians who get their money through illegal means. My comment is about wealthy business men and women

You think there is no manipulation and cheating in football .... or no Manipulation and cheating in Medicine and Basketball......

No game fixing and Manipulation of dead bodies for Research and Development........

Most of you are just born not to think wider...

Wealth comes with Dirtiness...... If you wanna know ... Start climbing the ladder and see for yourself! ....

Wealthy ones cry behind close door ........... It comes with Prices Sweet and unsweet ........

When you are making decisions that can influence a lot .... it comes with costs .... Cost of Decision making can be severe or simple ... But there are costs !

Yeah using dirty money to pay clean money or hardwork.

Very simple question, in the Bible, Satan show Jesus riches of the world and he said worship me and I will give to you all this riches of this world. But Jesus rejected the offer.
Note. The meaning and implications of Satan action is that riches and wealth belong to him and anybody that will have it will have to worship him: and Jesus did not deny the fact that Satan doesn't own it. So for anyone to be wealthy he or she needs to worship the devil, politicians, high ranking business men belong to one group or the other.
However, God still give to his children but not more than necessary. Untill new world or paradise when God will have full control of this system money and fame belong to the devil.

Goldbw122:
When I mean dirty deeds, I mean manipulation, cheating, fortifying of document and many more.

When you look the good business and transaction you have done, over the years, you see that you have wasted your time, you have had different opportunity to make your life wealthy, but you justlet it slide because you want to have a good record, but along time line no money to finance your life. And you have the opportunity again, is it wise to do the dirty deeds or not.. regarding the consequences that follow.

Not necessarily a metaphor.
In Jewish land, there's a little door where people and animals(like donkey and camel) can pass. But they'll need to bend and move past it slowly (cos it's height is little compared to nomal doors/gate). That little opening or door/gate is what is called or known as "eye of the needle" in Israel
That eye of the needle, the camel can pass it, but it'll be with great difficulty. And that place still exist till now in Israel

So to your question...
Yes, literally, a camel can go through the eye of the needle, Jesus was referring to

That's what it looks like below

[s]Up to 40% Sir. My younger brother and I are living testimonies.

Be diligent and consistent in you business.

Let me assure you that all these interview and CV guys can not be wealthy. What do I mean? Salary is a scam. I saw my business growing from scratch to over a billion.

I was building a house in a choice area annually for 10 years. From the 10th year I was capable of building 5 units of 3 bedroom bungalows annually for 3 years then 2 units of 4 bedroom duplex annually for 3 years in powerful areas of Abuja. The more you make the easier it becomes for you.

Properties alone give me millions annually . I reinvest it to properties. Learn from this.

Stay positive and[/s] know your God.

Op asked is it possible to be rich without soiling your ha


If I and few friends I know who were born poor can achieve it without migrating to abroad or doing dirty things, then you and any other person can do same.


Don't doubt what you don't believe in.


Check my profile and posts, I have been in the struggling league even here, so I am not invincible, some people know me in person okay
