Another thing i noticed that is common among them is the lack of pot bellies at least by the majority.
For a lot of Nigerians before the money starts coming their stomach starts shooting out as if they were pregnant with the money.

Sincere4u:
All the world's richest have something in common.
Entrepreneurship

my fellow Nigerians, let's rethink our rush for paid jobs as employees
We can never overcome the rate of unemployment in this country with that mentality.
The more entrepreneurs we have, the more jobs will be made available.
I am looking forward to that time when Nigerians can change from any job to another of their choice with relative ease because jobs are everywhere.

True Talk, you've said it all. We should be ready to take risks.

Okay, Wetin I wan type go long o, how I wan take start sef I no know.. The thing weak me... So let's get to it.

This evening after closing from our bible study meeting, I started heading home in the darkness as IKEDC brain no dey function properly again. Getting closer to my place, I have to take a path(a short one) instead of going the longer way. As I was approaching the path, about 4 young guys still in their teens popped out, I was like who be all this one now because everywhere is dry and quiet.. Everybody don enter house. This 4 guys came out with a lady and 1 of them put his hands around the girls waist. On getting to the path entrance 2 more guys came out with a girl and theirs was even worse(evil) one of the guy was seriously grabbing the butt of the girl from behind while another was sm:Dching the boobs with one hand. I was like Nawaoo, me just carry my bag Waka pass them. Them no even mind say I dey dere at all, them come dey Waka slow slow and the path was a single one so I had to wait for them to finish their Fvcked up stuff and pass. Now I'm almost getting out of the path I saw another group. 2 guys and a girl, even in the dark I could see how skimpy dressed all the girls were. One of the guys held the girls waist while the other was in front laughing very loud like devil-they were discussing some shii wey no concern my destiny. The time then was around 8:40 something
>>>fast forward to when I get home, I decided to get fuel as my phone was very low. I set out to get fuel, now it was almost 9. Getting close to my bustop I saw another group but they were more matured like early 20s- 2 guys and 2 girls too. I come dey wonder which kind fvckered night be this. Now it was some few minutes after 9, I jug enter filling station thanking God say dem Neva close. As I reach Na im one guy just buy him fuel, before him fuel go complete.. The entire fuel for filling station finish, I just confuse, I looked ahead a little saw that the other station light was still on but dim. Na him I jump out dey run like fool, I jump inside mud, inside yamayama but e no concern me 'I must to watch movies wey I just download'. I got there...
They too have closed, but them Neva off their gen.. Them still dey count money wey dem make for the day. I just carry my empty jerry can dey head house back vigorously sweating. Got to my street, saw one guy ahead with a lady.. Decided to increase my footsteps, I got closer and one other guy appeared too with a lady. I recognised him instantly, he's shop was very close to where I hold my my Bible meetings. I just Waka pass. I now saw the guy that made me walk faster with one fat Aunty. I just bone face even though nobody dey look me enter house with empty fuel can imagining how many people will get laid this night.
Good evening
