That's because a typical Nigerian man says hello with money. From trying to look dope and classy yourself before you can approach a Lady to trying to get a lady's attention by offering to take her out.

The question is how many Nigerian guys can handle an independent lady? or How many Nigerian guys can get a woman's heart without spending? None! You spoil them yet complain? If you guys can detach your masculinity/ confidence from money, then women will learn and only want what you can offer.

I read both ur posts but d introduction 2 ur post got my attention. If u say u are trainer& a mentor, how do u train people with d kind of language u use? If someone says something u don't agree with, does that make it "rubbish"? U don't have 2 agree with everyone's viewpoint but u don't have 2b disrespectful about it either. If u say u deal with human beings, then by now u should understand that life isn't black& white. Its in shades of different colours. Most times, our orientation, background & life's experiences shape our perception of life. So d author of d post wrote what he wrote based on his own experience. If u didn't agree with him, there are a million & one ways of making that known without being disrespectful. Am sure u have trained people on leadership. Leadership is also about understanding people. If u don't understand them, u can't change them. U will only end up judging them&getting frustrated cos they don't c things ur way.

This is an excerpt from d article. Pls go thru it.:


"Thus, because a man is rich doesn’t really qualify him to be the appropriate person to advice you. Pretty much, it’s not bad for a rich man to advice you.

But before you apply his principles, you have to make sure he’s richly a guru in that specific area. Importantly also, this rich must have the major latest experience about your business, ideas or aims.

Ensure to dig out what problems and how they faced these major problems they faced before attaining that status, because they might have forgotten most. Money is mad. It makes you forget many challenges in your old pasts.

It’s not until a rich man gives you an advice before you believe them and start making money right away. Few times, a guru who isn’t even wealthy and you know is seasoned in your area, is best than a billionaire who would encourage you that your stones can still be cooked to soft."

I clearly don't c what he said that is out of place. Where is d "rubbish" in d write up? If for instance I want 2go into farming and I go to Jim ovia or tony elumelu cos they are rich, what type of advice will they give regards farming? If I go 2a retired civil servant who worked as a farm extension officer or an agric expert who isnt rich, his advice will b more useful as regards farming than what I will get from Jim Ovia or Tony.

D author was being realistic at d same time balanced. What he wrote isn't straight from books but based on day to day human interaction. Unfortunately, u weren't able to counter anything he said in ur post. Ur post was basically about d mentality of d poor.


From where do u get advice? D author didn't say u shouldn't get advice from d rich but that u should b circumspect about it. Not everything they say might b useful. Some folks who aren't rich might have more useful advice 4u in particular areas than d so called rich folks. Nothing is cast in stone

News101:
Very misleading article indeed. Everybody wants to be a writer and an adviser once they have data. Look at your grammar & typographical errors.

This article should not have made front page in the first place. Moderators please remove this article from front page. There are better articles on Nairaland than this crap.

Not everything should make fp.

The op is very wrong. This article is very misleading and capable of destroying people's capacity to reach their potentials.

1. Mentoring and coaching remain 2- one, if you like- of the cardinal points of financial success. Like a wise man said, you stand on the shoulders of those who have gone ahead of you so you can see far.

2. If for instance, I want admission to the university or visa to a certain country, am I not better off being advised by someone who's 'been there done that'? Advising that since they are not in 'your field studying the course you wanted or in the country you desire disqualifies them from holding supportive opinion is total 'bull-come'.

3. You discourage people from heeding the advices of courage and fortune because they may be extreme. Are you kidding? Mediocrity begats self. So do courage and excellence. I would rather listen to stories that challenge my courage, resilience and risk appetite than of loathsome spineless retirement that wants to keep me where I have no business being.
.
4. You are what you eat. The world is a mind game. What feeds your mind determines what you become.

5. The world over, people pay successful people heavily to listen to their counsel and have them as consultants. You can only go as far, Uncle.

6. The world is in dire need of successful mentors. You will be amazed at how one can from sharing his experience alone, save you from a lifetime of woe and poverty. Please op- and the mod that published this- don't decimate the number of potential multimillionaires in here with this jaundiced opinion.

OK how's it gonna be

You just clearly showed you are not saved and really need to find a Nice believing Baptist Church to show you the truth.

How dare you suggest that Jehovah's witnesses are Christians? Same people who sent the Trinity and say Jesus is an angel?

SolexxBarry:
90% of Freeze's followers are Jehovah witnesses and pagans

Dont be deceived

U will see contradiction in the scriptures
And also fallacy

Now I realize when President Donald Trump said men are under attack in America.

Men are really under attack in America and Europe, and this should be a lesson to Nigerian men in places of authority, be careful of the kind of laws you make today just because one lady close to you is kissing you and caressing your back to sign it into law, be careful

Most of the so called high school girls know fully well what they were doing, most girls from age 14 start to admire men not even small boys. They wish to have affairs with mature men intentionally and some lure men into sex, only to turnaround when they realize they could make a fortune from blackmailing the man in question.

Do you know how many teenage girls sleeping with mature guys that are nobody as we speak right now They are uncountable but you won't hear it because those guys are nobody, so they enjoy it and forget it, but let it be a rich or famous guy, the whole world will hear it once its in Europe or America.

Men are truly under attack, Donald Trump was right anyway

They ruined the retirement age of funny Cosby, done same to lots of famous men and now after Robert Kelly, its well

I knew Freeze was mad, when he was giving tithe despite teaching heresies about tithing!

You still beating around the bush why not answer simple question

Is the ten commandments still effective till now?
Is it part of the law?
Was it abandoned?
